Chelsea finally reaches to the knock out stage in Champions league, but are they happy with their show, no absolutely not, at least manager Jose Mourinho thinks so. Their qualification was subject to their draw over Romanian football club Steaua Bucharest otherwise their recent 1-0 defeat from Basel had almost led them down. Another blow for The Blue was a groin injury to their 32-year-old in-form forward Samuel Eto'o who had to leave the ground on stretcher. Mourinho accepted their bad form and how devastatingly they performed in the last match; only a defeat could be a reward for this. He said, “A bad performance, a deserved defeat but because of other results, we qualify. That is the only positive thing from this night. I did not like anything from the first minute. We started with a defensive mistake.” As far Eto'o injury is concerned, his further scans will determine how severe his injury is and how much time he would be needed to fully recover off it.

It was rather a sad day for League defender Manchester United when they were deprived to score full points out of their clash with Cardiff City. Had they score full points out of this game, they would have been in the top four in the leaderboard – a step that could take them further to defend their favorite silverware. The whole match was in control of Moyes’ army and they significantly demonstrated why they are different now, but unfortunately, in the last moments, South Korean midfielder Kim Bo-kyung’s injury-time equalizer leveled Cardiff City on the score card and deprived United to steal the show.

These players are undoubtedly the biggest news makers these days and after their nominations for the Ballon d'Or this year, a comparison is quite obvious not only between them but also with their well-known arch rivals including Messi. When it is supposed that two high profile players can never play smoothly for a single team, these two players are proving this theory wrong and never found any misunderstanding among them.

Like what is being happened at Barcelona where apparently a rivalry is being in the making between Messi and Neymar, Real is enjoying a friendly … [Read more...]
