Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Still Wants the Pichichi
Individual awards mean something to Cristiano Ronaldo, especially when he keeps missing out on them.

FC Barcelona – Cesc Fabregas & Xavi Oversee the Substitutes
Garbage time for Barcelona doesn’t mean they’re planning on dropping points.

Manchester United Lie About Attendance Numbers at Old Trafford
While the FA asks Premier League teams to release official attendance numbers which include all the people who purchased tickets for a certain home match, police records, counting only those actually passing through the turnstiles, tell a very different story to what Manchester United would have you believe about the amount of fans who watch matches at Old Trafford during the weekend.

Guillermo Rigondeaux pulled off a huge win over one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, Nonito Donaire, but isn’t going to help him or the world of boxing in any kind of way.
