Liverpool one-season wonder Milan Jovanovic was shown a red card in Anderlecht's 2-2 draw against Standard Liege for a laughable bit of revenge. After being knocked off the ball and into an advertising board by Daniel Opare, Jovanovic administered a shoulder barge of his own on the unsuspecting Opare.
The group stages of the 2012-13 Champions League are coming to an end, and there were some interesting matches today. In group C Malaga has been unbeaten and were sure to finish first before today's final match against Anderlecht. Things were different for the Belgians, who needed to win to at least get an Europa League spot.
AEL edged Anderlecht, BATE defeated Hapoel, Malaga blanked Panathinaikos, Dinamo beat Maribor,
and Udinese held Braga in the UEFA Champions League on August 22, 2012.
AEL 2-1 Anderlecht

Anderlecht did level the match for 11 minutes but a 75th minute Milan Jovanovic red card ended any
realistic chance of a draw.
Sacha Kljestan's Anderlecht face a one goal deficit after losing the first-leg of their UEFA

Milan Jovanovic was sent off in the 75th minute.
Sacha Kljestan was given only ten minutes but Anderlecht beat ten-man Mons courtesy of goals by

In midweek league play Gent traveled to Brussels to take on Anderlecht and lost that one 3-1 thanks
to a Milan Jovanovic brace and a Mattias Suarez strike in the European capital.
Sacha Kljestan took his regular place in the starting eleven for Anderlecht on Tuesday, in a 3-1
win over Gent at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium. Their lead at the top of the SAS-Ligaen table
is now nine points. After falling behind seven minutes in, Milan Jovanovic scored twice for
Anderlecht, with Matias Suarez adding the third goal.
Milan Jovanovic has told Anderlecht team-mate Matias Suarez to not consider moving to
Liverpool.
A host of clubs are tracking Argentine forward Suarez, who is currently one of the stars of the
Belgian league.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool are amongst the sides being linked with Suarez, but he has been
told to forget about Anfield.
Messi, Ronaldo, Jovanovic We all know that soap opera plot-lines are to be taken with a pinch of
salt, but this is stretching reality a bit too far. During a spot of genealogy, the scriptwriters
of Neighbours ask you to suspend belief completely by suggesting that ex-Liverpool flop Milan
Jovanovic is "one of the greatest [.
He may not have made much of an impression at Anfield, but Serbian attacker Milan Jovanovic is
certainly causing a stir in Belgium.
The Anderlecht player faces a whopping five-year ban after firing an imaginary machine gun at
opposition fans during a goal celebration in the clash with Bruges last month.
Liverpool complete their clear-out on hectic transfer deadline day
• Joe Cole loaned to Lille for first refusal on Hazard • Craig Bellamy due to return on free
transfer Joe Cole's loan move to Lille will cost Liverpool more than £3m, after the Premier League
club agreed to pay 60% of his wages in exchange for a first refusal option on the Belgium
midfielder Eden Hazard.
Liverpool have today completed the signing of Jose Enrique from Newcastle, the club has
confirmed. The deal is worth £6m and the player will pick up £60,000 per week at Anfield. It was
ten days ago that we broke the news that Liverpool had rekindled their interest in Enrique in the
wake of Milan Jovanovic's agreement to join Anderlecht.
The difference a year makes. From Hicks and Gillett setting the club's money on fire to FSG opening
the checkbook at will. From an owl-faced over-matched media darling who "deserved a chance" as
manager to the club's greatest living legend. Checking under couch cushions for the privilege of
buying Konchesky and Poulsen to slightly less than £50m spent on Adam, Doni, Downing, Enrique, and
Henderson.
Anderlecht has completed the signing of Milan Jovanovic from Liverpool after the forward failed to
make an impact at Anfield.
The Serbian international joined the club following the 2010 World Cup, while previous boss Roy
Hodgson was at the helm.
The 30-year-old found first team opportunities hard to come by though and was regularly on the
fringes of matchday squads.

El tricolor nacional cerro el año futbolistico, en el año once , once victorias fue las que
obtuvo el Chepo de La Torre con la Selección mexicana, se gano la copa Oro categoricamente contra
Estados Unidos y ademas se vio un avance significativo en el juego de conjunto, en la mayoría de
los casos están jugando los que tienen que estar.
You have to give the Neighbours scriptwriting team (an image of ten chimpanzees throwing their
faeces at a typewriter instantly comes to mind) their dues for attempting to shoehorn a soccer
reference into a recent episode.
Shame really, that they ended up missing the mark by a country mile.
Steven Gerrard has praised Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish for replacing high-earning fringe players
such as Joe Cole, Milan Jovanovic and Christian Poulsen with 'hungry' new talent during the
transfer window.
The club captain has suggested Anfield will be a better place without squad misfits such as Cole,
who has joined big-spending French side Lille on a season-long loan - in turn freeing up the former
Chelsea man's rumoured £90,000-a-week wages for new recruits.
Rafa Benitez undoubtedly signed some brilliant players during his time at Anfield, and the club is
still benefiting from some of the players he signed. However, it's also true to say that Benitez
wasted a lots of money on players who just weren't good enough for Liverpool. It's taken a long
time to rid the club of these highly paid players, but with the departure of Philipp Degen today,
the club is no longer lumbered with Benitez's deadwood.
We haven't taken it upon ourselves to do too much in terms of season previewing we figure most
of you are already up to speed on how this is the season that Joe Cole makes his impact and the
restorative properties of Christian Poulsen's alice band. By force of habit, though, we've put
together a few assorted ramblings; Noel wrote this non-preview for SBNation a few days ago and
organized a roundtable with other Liverpool bloggers, so this will serve as my supplement to those
posts you'll notice a few similarities between the questions asked and answered in this and the
roundtable post, so go ahead and chime in wherever you'd like.
Celtic, Helsingborg, CFR Cluj, Maribor, Anderlecht, Dinamo Zagreb, Hapoel, Basel, and AEL all

O primeiro gol do jogo, foi de Milan Jovanovic, aos 6 minutos do primeiro tempo.
El delantero del Rayo Vallecano Andrija Delibasic, en el tiempo añadido, evitó la derrota de

matemáticamente su pase para la fase final de la Eurocopa 2012.
El cuadro balcánico encontró a última hora el premio a su esfuerzo y equilibró una desventaja
