Besiktas set to host Ukraine's Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday in the first leg game in the round of 32
at the UEFA Europa League.

Besiktas finished second in their group at the UEFA Europa League.
El ex madridista Bernd Schuster ha dimitido de su actual puesto de entrenador del equipo
turco de fútbol Besiktas. El equipo de Estambul ha encadenado una mala racha de resultados
en las últimas semanas, ha sido eliminado en la Liga Europa y ha quedado relegado en la
liga turca a la séptima posición, a 21 puntos del líder, el Fenerbahçe.
Bernd Schuster, a man who has become known as the 'Blond Angel' during his career, may sound like a
superhero-in-waiting, but proved to be as brittle as the rest of us when he chose to jump before he

Mustafa Denizli on a two-year contract worth €5.
Remember back in the day when Bernd Schuster coached Madrid and I blogged recaps in
Espanol? Me neither. The point is, a long time is a long time. Several years. I followed
La Liga before this latest round of debt-deficit-twin power-spending drew the world's attention,
and, when the bubble bursts, I am not walking away from my underwater mortgage.
"More Than a Club" is the slogan for Barcelona FC.
Since its founding, Barcelona has been on a road of self-discovery. Some time along the way, the
people of Catalonia started to envisage Barcelona as a symbol of their country—more than a
club.

Barcelona FC was envisaged as the club who expressed the rights and freedom of the Catalonian
people.
Royston Drenthe has expressed his excitement at joining Everton on loan by launching an
astonishing attack on Real Madrid, where is contract will expire at the end of this season.
Although the Dutchman insists he learned a lot during his time in La Liga, he firmly believes
that the club has declined in recent years.
