As a fan of Barcelona I was thinking the other day about the club's rich history as well as their successes in the UEFA Champions League. Barcelona have won the UEFA Champions League three times in their history with two coming in the last four years which is extremely impressive.

It got me thinking; which Champions League winning side was better?

Ora è ufficialmente sul mercato. Questa volta, però, non parliamo di calciatori ma di mister. Concluso il rapporto con l'Inter (con una buoniuscita finale di 11 milioni), Roberto Mancini torna sul mercato. Quale sarà , a questo punto, la sua destinazione? Lo jesino, "disoccupato di lusso", scalpita e ha voglia di rimettersi in gioco, tornando in panchina. Click to continue reading...

Real Madrid are lining up Rafa Benitez as their next manager after giving Manuel Pellegrini two games to save his job.
The Spanish giants have won just one of their last five games and suffered the humiliation of a 4-0 defeat by third division Alcorcon in the Cup on Tuesday night.

Rápidamente os cuento que voy algo atareado estos días con otras cosas y no he podido actualizar todo lo que me hubiera gustado. Arrancamos sin más demora con la Champions, nuestra competición favorita en Uno o Dos Toques.
Se disputaba la jornada tres para nuestros representantes y salvo el Sevilla, que sigue regalando demostraciones en su grupo (esperemos que estos alardes no le pasen factura más adelante), que ganó en su visita al Stuttgart de manera contundente (1-3), contamos el resto de los partidos que nos interesan por derrotas.

Para no ser menos que el Barça, el Real Madrid sucumbe en Champiñons. Su rival, el jovencísimo Milán de Leonardo. Mal clasificado en el Calcio, ayer vivió su mejor momento de la temporada ganando 2-3 en el Bernabéu. Bien pintaba la cosa para los blancos cuando Dida le regala el gol a Raúl, ver para creer.

En esta sección incluiremos a jugadores de zona de definición, arietes cuya característica principal es la potencia para reventar esquemas, parados y aparatos defensivos, tal es el caso de Preben Elkjaer Larsen, portentoso danés con todas los atributos de un ariete pero con dribling de extremo, del cuál a veces exageraba provocando la desesperación de compañeros y la rabia de los contrarios, además buscaba picar al espacio para encarrerase y era muy difícil pararlo inclusive a base de hachazos o segadoras.

- The summer transfer window was supposed to have closed a few days ago, yet the rumours persist, with an avalanche of new reports crashing down on us, all claiming the same thing: A Robinho-Henry swap is on the cards for Barca and Man City.

"Receive, pass, offer, receive, pass, offer." Imagine you're 11 years old and good enough to be invited to train at the Barcelona academy. These are the words that you will hear time and time again. When reduced to three simple imperatives, football is incredibly straight-forward. These mantras do not just appear overnight though, they are distilled and subsequently absorbed by generations of talent both on and off the field. Click to continue reading...

Goalkeepers are a special breed. The sole guardian of the sticks - they live and die by their mistakes. Because of the cut-throat, merciless world that goalkeepers inhibit they are often remembered for the right and sometimes, wrong reasons.
