We had to summon our inner strength to prevent ourselves from captioning that ridiculous photo
above ("YOU took my red jacket, admit it b***h") without sounding like an
11-year-old. An invariably difficult task because Real Madrid are a team armed
with delightful facial expressions and secondly, because Crackovia exists.
This photo of the Moc Moc trio is clearly missing
Puyol- except Cesc Fabregas and Gerard Pique are
making a different type of toast that doesn't involve their Mop Haired amic! They're both
celebrating their reunion and return from the Premier League to
Barcelona.

And that there is your winner.
A German internet site devoted to finding partners for infidelity worth noting when considering
the voting pool took a poll of 1300 female members to find the most desirable man of the German
national team. In an completely shocking turn, Mario Gomez led the vote, which means there's a joke
to go here about his ability to score on the pitch mirroring his ability to score off it as
well.
RealMadridandBarcelonamoved a step closer towards the very first "El Clasico" Champions League
Final this week by comfortably winning their Quarter Final ties against APOEL and AC Milan
respectively. RealMadridovercame their Cypriot opponents 8-2 on aggregate, winning away 3-0 before
ending APOEL's fairytale jounrey 5-2 at the Bernabeu, while defending champions,Barcelona, who were
held to a goalless draw inMilanlast week finished offMilanat Nou Camp, winning 3-1.
The final is set. The Germans, doing what they do in penalty shootouts, secured their place
alongside our lads in club football's centerpiece fixture on May 19.
Cold-blooded
I trust you were watching that match. If not, what's wrong with you? It was pulsating at times,
cagey at others, but overall, it was nerve-wracking.
Let's take a moment to reflect on the MADNESS from the football world
in the past week.
Ronaldo and Messi proved they were human beings after both
missed their penalties, Sergio Ramos joined NASA, Bilbao made it
to the finals of the Europa League for the first time in 35 years, Fernando Torres
scored possibly the most important goal of his Chelsea career, Pep
Guardiola confirmed his resignation as Barca coach, The Allianz Arena
turned bright blue, Mario Gomez wore a flower 'garland' and for once in
Jose Mourinho's life, he conceded defeat without outrightly blaming the
referee.
First spotted on Lowes Miserables Live Journal by reader, Anna.
They came. They saw. They scowled.
Four players from the German NT (plus Dennis Aogo, who failed to make the Euro 2012 squad)
appear on four different German GQ covers in June: Mario Götze & Dennis Aogo (to be
circulated in Northern Germany), Manuel Neuer (East Germany), Bastian Schweinsteiger (South
Germany) and Mats Hummels (the luckiest part West Germany).
It's nearly time. The goosebumps, yeah they've arrived.
Take it.
You may be wondering what's with today's photo selection? I know, I'm usually pulling out
film-based artifacts (screencaps and the like) but today is an entirely different animal. This is
the UEFA Champions League final for Christ's sake.
And so it finally came to pass. Nine years after Roman Abramovich arrived at Stamford Bridge and
spent like no other owner before him, and Chelsea win the one prize that always eluded Roman's
riches. Ironically, this comes just a week after Sheik Mansour's Manchester City won the league on
even greater resources than Chelsea have been used to.
As we told you earlier this week, the München Men have been biding their time
at a training camp in Doha. Bastian Schweinsteiger recovered well enough from
his shoulder operation (which quite honestly, left a sexy scar!) to play in their win over
Al-Sailiya last night.

With New Year's come and gone, all Bundesliga teams have ended their brief winter vacation and
have traveled to training camps in much warmer climates than Germany. Many teams have already
played warm-up test matches and have begun running out their newest winter signings. The second
half of the season begins with match day 18 on January 20.
Now we've all established the fact that Bavarian giants Bayern Munich
absolutely love their basketball games..."natürlich!!" So they turned up at full
force to watch last weekend's showdown between Bayern Munich and EWE Baskets Oldenburg at the Audi
Dome with their families.
Two goals from Patrick Herrmann and another from highly rated forward Marco Reus guided Borussia
Monchengladbach to a 3-1 win over Bayern Munich, cutting the Bavarians' lead atop the Bundesliga
table to a single point.
Bastian Schweinsteiger struck late in the match for Bayern, but that was too little too late for
the visitors, who could be joined at the summit by defending champions Borussia Dortmund over the
weekend.

Der Platz ist in meinen Augen in einem katastrophalen Zustand. Ich weiß nicht, ob es hier
geschneit hat die ganze Zeit, aber für mich ist es immer fraglich, wieso ein Platz nach so einer
langen Pause in so einem schlechten Zustand ist.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mittelfeldspieler des FC Bayern München, hat eine Erklärung für die
1:3 Niederlage gegen Borussia Mönchengladbach parat.
You could be looking at the Annual Congregation of Munich's Santa Clauses,
except this photo would've been only complete if Mario Gomez joined the bench
instead of looking down at them! During Bayern's 1-1 draw against Hamburg over the weekend, there
was a lot of frustration and anger from all corners of the club.
Pep Guardiola took a leaf out of Bastian Schweinsteiger's
Basketball Book over the week and watched a game with his children Marius and Maria (above). Of
course, the only game on his mind tonight is Barcelona's Copa del Rey semi-final against
Valencia when his newly crowned "Laureus World Team of the Year" take
them on in the Nou Camp.
Existing in the shadow of Bayern Munich's much more popular football team, the club's
title-winning basketball team wanted to draw some attention their way at the end of last season.
So, head coach Dirk Bauermann came up with an idea.
From the AFP:
"With five games remaining, we won the championship (in 2011) and Bastian Schweinsteiger could
have actually played for us at the time," Bauermann wrote in his new book, which has been
serialised in German daily Bild.

So we've gathered that Bastian Schweinsteiger's basketball fanaticism has
scaled to extraordinary heights during his injury recuperation time at Bayern Munich. During this
time of sadness (he nearly switched to professional basketball last year!), Bastian discovered that
hoop shooting can be rather therapeutic, especially with Euro being less than four months away.

Juergen Klinsmann has arrived. He was on a winning steak before the Italy match but the caveat
was that it was not against quality opposition. This was to Italy, four times World Cup champions,
a team that the USA had not won against in 11 outings, on the road, with a rejiggered team missing
four of their starters through injuries and illness.
Well, it's clear that Schweini is back... but it must be difficult to leave that red blanket
behind to warm up in the Munich cold! / via Bongarts

German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is hoping that preparations for the Champions League
final in Munich will provide his teammates with the impetus of overcoming FC Basel and moving to
the competition's quarterfinals.
Swiss outfit Basel has enjoyed a fairytale run thus far, taking five points away from English
champions Manchester United to dump them out of the competition following the Group Stage and
following that up with a late 1-0 home win against Bayern last month.

As an integral component of not one but two of the world's best teams Germany and Bavaria
Munchen Didier Deschamps probably has a handle on Bastian Schweinsteiger's capabilities as a
footballer as well as his name. That didn't stop him from having a minor stroke when pronouncing it
earlier in the week.
The remarkable recovery of Fabrice Muamba took a significant step forward over the weekend with
the news the Bolton midfielder was able to get out of bed.
According to a statement released by the London Chest Hospital, Muamba "continues to make
encouraging progress in his recovery. Over the weekend he has been able to sit out of bed for a
short time, watch television and has begun to eat.

Bastian Schweinsteiger has urged his Bayern Munich teammates to show complete focus throughout
their Champions League semifinal second leg against Real Madrid, which they currently lead 2-1.
Conceding a costly away goal in the first leg at the Allianz arena has put Bayern in a tricky
situation where they must either score at least once, or keep a clean sheet if they fail to
score.

Two days of breathtaking UEFA Champions League semifinal play are complete, and with the dust
settled, neither of the two Spanish favorites will be playing for Europe's greatest prize.
Bayern Munich defeated Real Madrid on penalty kicks and will play for the UEFA Champions League
trophy in their home stadium after their semifinal tie ended in a 3-3 aggregate draw.

Most domestic seasons haven't closed, yet the names of those heading off to the lands of
continental glory in the Polkraine are already dropping, along with some of the squads to be
whittled down in the coming weeks (the deadline being May 29th). Today Giovanni Trappatoni
announced Ireland's formal 23 and Germany a damn close 27.
Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm has conceded that the prospect of losing two finals within
the span of a week will be unacceptable for his side after they conceded the Bundesliga crown to
Borussia Dortmund a few weeks ago.
Next Saturday's Champions League final against Chelsea at home is a spectacle that everyone in
Munich is eagerly anticipating but tonight, Lahm and his teammates must face the in-form Dortmund
in Berlin for the DFB Pokal.

Next in my series of views coming out of Munich as we build up to Saturdays final is the view of
Talisman, Bastian Schweinsteiger. I have posted some interesting views from the Manager and
the President and now it's the turn Schweinsteiger. The German international was part of the
side that lost to Jose Mourino's Inter Milan and has been quick to point out that Bayern are a
better side now.
