Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo for most of the season and they are preparing a mammoth offer for him with the hope of hijacking his move to back to Manchester United.
According to 'L'Equipe', PSG will offer Real Madrid €100m for the striker and that the French Champions will offer a salary that would make him the second best paid footballer in the world, only behind Samuel Et'oo.
There was hilarity on the Real Madrid bench at the weekend when left-back Fabio Coentrao kitted out in his sub's gear took his seat. Everyone on the bench apart from Coentrao seemed to know that he hadn't been named as a sub. Those who were legitimately warming the bench, including Iker Casillas and [.
Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated another Real Madrid victory this past weekend scoring his 200th goal for Los Blancos. The former Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon attacker has enjoyed an incredible return since joining Spanish giants Real Madrid in 2009. Since arriving, he's scored 146 goals in 134 La Liga matches.
Manchester United have been told they will have to include Javier Hernandez as part of any deal to bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford, according to The Sun. Real Madrid are reportedly so interested in the Mexico international that they will pursue a £25 million deal for him even if United's pursuit of Ronaldo [.
1. Another Champions League side has proved that its whole is greater than the some of its parts. Well done to Borussia, who were assembled on a shoestring budget in comparison to Real. 2. The first 70 minutes was essentially watching 11 men in white shirts gradually run out of ideas against the Germans.
Gareth Bale achieved an amazing PFA double last night when landing both the Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards. He becomes only the third player to win both accolades in the same season, and the first since Christiano Ronaldo in 2007. With Spurs' chances of playing Champions League football next season still hanging in the balance, will the Welsh wonder now be on his way out of White Hart Lane?
Real Sociedad are on the verge of making club history by earning a Champions League qualification spot for the first time in nine years after coming from behind to beat Valencia 4-2 at Anoeta last night. The last time the Basque side played in the elite competition was in 2003/04, where they scored 71 goals in total, and only five points separate it from fifth place Malaga at the moment.

"Super Cristiano" by Gonza Rodriguezand Dale con Comba
The moment for Real Madrid to rise is here. La Decima is close, and Cristiano Ronaldo has been crucial to the club's Champions League success, snatching one clutch goal after another. The consistency is as impressive as the number of goals being tallied, and now we wait to see if the super number 7 can continue his streak.
Champions League Semi-Final II Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid
German midfielder Sami Khedira once admitted that he had never been a big fan of the media spotlight which often trails his Real Madrid teammates. A pity, really, because Khedira has a modest quality about him that makes him a compelling personality to profile.
While Zinedine Zidane's 'roulette' move and Ronaldinho's 'flip-flap' are increasingly prominent skills to grace the game, the 'Redondo' made famous by Fernando Rodondo in Real Madrid's dismantling of Manchester United in 2000 is a pretty rare animal indeed. Yet, here is a Redondo spotted in the wilds of the South American Under-17 Championships [.
Financial Fair Play? What is that? That appears to be the attitude of Paris Saint-Germain director of football Leonardo who says that his club will buy big again this summer.
PSG is closing in on its first Ligue 1 title in 19 years and after an impressive Champions League run, further spending is expected this summer from the club's Qatari owners ahead of another assault on the Champions League next season.
Real Madrid v Galatasaray Highlights Real Madrid's Ronaldo scored in the first half in Turkey to make it 1-0 on the night and 4-0 on aggregate. Sami Khedira latched on to the end of a Mesut Ozil through ball before the German slotted the ball across the box into the path of Ronaldo.

There are three players that stand out on Real Madrid: Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká (Ricardo Izecson), and Raphael Varane. These players represent all things that are good about Real Madrid. Youth, tenacity, and sheer skill are what make these players elite.
At only 19 years of age, Raphael Varane is the future of the Real Madrid team, especially the defense.

Mourinho Congratulating Business Colleague After Old Trafford Sending Off
When Sir Ferguson refused to attend the post-match press conference after Real Madrid had knocked Manchester United out of the Champions League, there was conspiratorial talk in the air of the home dressing room.
The Express is reporting that Jose Mourinho is on his way back to Chelsea and that once he's there, he'll be looking to bring Cristiano Ronaldo back the Premier League and Chelsea in particular.

Chelsea have been rumored to be bringing back Jose Mourinho for several months now, with the Portuguese manager reportedly unhappy at his current post in the Spanish capital.

At Marca's Gala ceremony held at the Cibeles Palace in Madrid yesterday, Cristiano Ronaldo, who picked up the award for the Spanish newspaper's "Best Player of the Year" (or 'Di Stefano' trophy), courted controversy when he remained tight-lipped about his feelings towards Real Madrid.
1. Raphael Varane (Real Madrid) If you hadn't heard of Raphael Varane before the double El Clasico and the Champions League tie against Manchester United then no doubt you seriously took note of his performance. Aged just 19, he looks so incredibly comfortable yet so unbelievably reassuring in defence at one of the greatest clubs [.

Real Madrid capped off their incredible week with a 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo thanks to two Ronaldo goals last night. Of course, he dedicated his brace to his son, Ronaldo Junior, doing the "paw paw" (or Papa!) gesture in the direction of the VIP stands of the Bernabeu.

Are Arsenal doing the right thing with their money? by SS
Everybody knows that the club rarely spend money so they end up making a profit during a transfer window, but is this tight spending the reason there is no success at the club anymore?
Financial fair play rules have been introduced by UEFA which should stop clubs from spending a lot more money than they earn in a season.
Possibly the best thing about the Arsenal attack this season is the versatility and number of options available to Arsene Wenger. With Giroud, Podolski, Walcott and Gervinho there is a mix of pace, power, trickery, shooting, aerial ability and wing play. Perhaps the one thing the Gunners attack is really lacking is clinical finishing, and that may be why Arsenal have been keeping a close watch on the natural goalscorer who is currently joint top scorere in the Champions League this season.
Strange to have a winter weekend without real football. Yes, there are matches to fill the interlull, but it's not real football, is it? Proper football is any game with Arsenal in it, the rest is just sport.
So what to do in an Interlull? I spend time in art galleries and museums (yes, I know it doesn't fit the Big Raddy image).

Manchester United forward Bebe, currently on loan with Portuguese side Rio Ave, revealed some rather entertaining behind-the-scenes information on Sir Alex Ferguson's regime yesterday. Spilling the beans to Mais Futebol website, the £7 million man highlighted the antagonistic relationship between the United manager and regularly under-fire winger Nani.
Bologna playmaker Alessandro Diamanti is the most fouled player in Europe so far this season. While you might assume that Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi would be on the receiving end of most rough treatment, it is actually the former West Ham player who's taken a bit of a battering this season. According to figures [.
Liverpool starlet Jordan Ibe is hoping to learn from Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo - and is even watching videos of the Portuguese forward as he looks to add goals to his game. The 17-year-old winger joined Liverpool from Wycombe in July 2012, and has impressed in the club's youth teams, even earning a spot in the senior squad for the recent away trip to Southampton.
If you need to do an ad for a Portuguese bank, what could possibly be better than having Cristiano Ronaldo star in it? Having Lionel Messi two Cristiano Ronaldos. And Banco Espirito Santo agrees.
It's an idea so genius that only Cristiano Ronaldo himself could have come up with it while daydreaming about Cristiano Ronaldo as he looked at himself in the mirror.
During World Cup 1998 in France, Cristiano Ronaldo was just 13 years old. Nobody knew who he was and his future was still very much in the air. The word "Ronaldo" didn't refer to a speedy winger with styled hair and GQ looks. In fact, the word "Ronaldo" didn't even refer to a Portuguese player. Instead, as many know, the word "Ronaldo" referred to a certain Brazilian.
He got fat. He got skinny. Now he's slightly fluffy again. But it doesn't matter, because the skills haven't faded and he can still move for a big man. In a friendly in Brazil he put on the boots and darted past the statue in defense while finishing deftly with his left. The tank's not empty, so get this man a contract.
The Estadio do Maracana in Rio de Janeiro is nearly finished after years of renovations for next summer's World Cup, so on Saturday, a special test match was held in Brazil's national stadium. Two teams of Brazilian legends led by Ronaldo and Bebeto graced the pitch four months after FIFA's deadline for completion ahead of this summer's Confederations Cup.
