Transfer Rumors 2012 – Manchester United Closer to Victor Wanyama
Goals against Barcelona certainly hike up the interest. If Victor Wanyama was only appreciated from afar by Manchester United (and other clubs), his performance in the Champions League has earned the Celtic midfielder a much closer look and possible transfer deal that might be coming soon.

Sporting CP – On the Brink of Economic Disaster
Fact: Sporting Clube de Portugal, or Sporting Lisbon to the English speaking fans, are in big trouble.

Transfer Rumors 2012 – Arsenal Chasing Adel Taarabt
What does Arsene Wenger need more than anything? Well, there probably isn’t a single position he wouldn’t like to find some sort of upgrade in, including the attacking midfield and the wings.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Cheats His Way to Victory
It was Robin van Persie, as always, that began yet another Manchester United comeback. It was Wayne Rooney selling a dive on the soaked pitch wonderfully, winning a penalty and scoring it this time (unlike the weekend) to keep the Red Devils perfect in the Champions League group stage, clinching qualification into the knockout stage.

Chelsea FC – Fernando Torres Scores But Doesn’t Impress
Like his entire team, this isn’t a match that Fernando Torres would like to remember. Yes, he poached a goal in the opening minutes of the game, but didn’t do much else for the rest of it.

On one of the few times since becoming a Barcelona player, Lionel Messi scoring couldn’t save Barcelona from defeat, only their second loss in all competitions this season and the first in the Champions League. More than that, it exposed the team’s problem handling a British defense for yet another time, adding another headache to the list for Tito Vilanova.

PSG – Zlatan Ibrahimovic Loving Being the Center of Everything
There’s no other way he’d prefer it to be. Zlatan Ibrahimovic loves the fact that every ball, every pass and every decision on attack goes through him. Paris Saint-Germain, like AC Milan in the past two years, are completely dependent on the form and decision making of the Sweden international, just the way Zlatan likes it.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo’s Worst Match of the Season
Somehow, Real Madrid didn’t come out too disappointed from a home draw in the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo had a very off night, curiously trying to pass almost every ball that fell at his feet and never really finding a good shot at goal, feeling lost in the first half and out of sorts as a striker in the second.
