    Cristiano Ronaldo Will Never be as Loved as Lionel Messi

    Every time Real Madrid visit Bilbao to play against Athletic, Cristiano Ronaldo gets the awkward, abusive treatment from fans and players. No matter who good he’ll be and how much there will be an attempt to change his image, which has gone a long way from his early days in Spain, it’ll never be on par with the way Lionel Messi is treated.

    Arsenal FC – Better Off Without Jack Wilshere

    Once upon a time, Jack Wilshere came up to play in the lineup of Arsenal, leading them to a 2-1 win over Barcelona, winning praises from everyone for standing up to the likes of Xavi and Iniesta in the midfield. His performance didn’t mean anything in the end, as the gunners were knocked out by Barcelona in the second leg, but a legend and promise of an overrated player was born.

  • Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Still Wants the Pichichi

    Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Still Wants the Pichichi

    Individual awards mean something to Cristiano Ronaldo, especially when he keeps missing out on them. So while Real Madrid are still formally on the chase after the La Liga leaders, Cristiano Ronaldo himself remains in the hunt for the Pichichi, the scoring trophy for Spain’s top scorer, hoping that a late season surge while Lionel Messi remains benched and rested helps him narrow the gap.

  • FC Barcelona – Cesc Fabregas & Xavi Oversee the Substitutes

    FC Barcelona – Cesc Fabregas & Xavi Oversee the Substitutes

    Garbage time for Barcelona doesn’t mean they’re planning on dropping points. Cesc Fabregas was back in the role of Lionel Messi while the real deal wasn’t even in the squad, while the ones who truly enjoyed a run in the lineup were Cristian Tello who finished with two goals and plenty of others, who’ll see quite a lot of La Liga action till the end of the season.

  • Chelsea FC – Juan Mata & Eden Hazard Need Better Midfielders

    Chelsea FC – Juan Mata & Eden Hazard Need Better Midfielders

    If it wasn’t for Petr Cech, Chelsea wouldn’t have just left Wembley as the losing team but also as a humiliated one. All the talent in the world, mostly presented with the likes of Juan Mata and Eden Hazard, can’t make up for the shambles of a defensive midfield currently deployed at Chelsea, giving them less than the chance they deserve when they’re up against a quality side.

    Manchester United – Robin van Persie Makes a Fool of Himself

    Instead of looking bored out of his mind with what’s left of the season like the rest of his teammates, Robin van Persie decided to celebrate his drought-ending goal a little bit too festively when you think about the long garbage time Manchester United have been on for quite some time, but strikers and goalscorers operate on a different code apparently. Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney represented what this team is all about this season in a much more suitable way.
