  • Real Madrid & Jose Mourinho Not So Confident Anymore

    Real Madrid, as a club – manager and players all together, simply took a rifle and shot themselves in the foot.

  • Real Madrid & Jose Mourinho Too Good to Start Slipping Now

    Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho have a chance of doing something special this season.

  • Ranking the 8 Teams Left in the Champions League

    Real Madrid, with a Cristiano Ronaldo brace didn’t have too hard of a time against CSKA in the second leg, while the Chelsea old guard had a heroic night at Stamford Bridge, making an improbable comeback en route to a 4-1 win over Napoli in extra time.

  • Lionel Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo Can’t Stop Scoring Goals

    Lionel Messi, for the second consecutive season, has scored 50 goals in all competitions for Barcelona, and it’s not mid-March yet.

  • Jose Mourinho Late Substitution Cost Real Madrid the Win?

    Real Madrid were on their way to get a precious 1-0 away win over CSKA Moscow, but suffered a 93rd minute equalizer from the legs of Pontus Wernbloom. Jose Mourinho probably played this one too cautiously, making a defensive substitution in the closing minutes that might have cost him the victory.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo Goal Not Enough For Real Madrid to Win First Leg

    Cristiano Ronaldo opened, Pontus Wernbloom closed. Real Madrid led throughout most of the match on a frozen Moscow pitch but playing too careful and too defensive instead of finishing the match hurt them in the end, ending the first leg against CSKA in a 1-1 draw, which gives them the obvious advantage for the second leg decider.

  • Barcelona Still Champions League Favorites According to Betting Odds

  • Jose Mourinho Can Finally Relax

    Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid have opened a 13 point, seemingly un-erasable lead at the top of the La Liga, with Barcelona’s chances of catching up somewhere between slim to none.
