The manager has said that he is feeling better with every day and is “very much looking forward to continuing” to coach the team next season He has thanked the players and coaching staff for their efforts while he was away, especially singling out Jordi Roura and Aureli Altimira for praise...

I agree with Galning on this one. It's pretty hilarious that the first thought that comes to his head was to bite the guy? I doubt he would have or even could have seriously harmed Ivanovic in any way but it's still a stupid thing to do.

Whitney is the most Bundesliga biased writer I have ever seen...lol

To anyone who is a regular watcher: Does Ayoub show qualities of a hard-working box-to-box type player? Does he have stamina, does he press a lot defensively, does he run up and down the field, etc? The more I hear about him, the more I imagine that he'll be an instantly useful player for...

More bad news.... The boy to whom Xavi dedicated his goal against PSG by touching his hair has passed away Classy move by Xavi to make and keep the promise and may the child rest in peace :(

I wouldn't say MILES behind Cesc but he's definitely got a ways to go.

what? lol

Poor logic there. Martinez has played against very strong teams this season and performed very well with a surprisingly great Sociedad side. He helped stifle Barca to our first loss in the league if you don't remember correctly. He has what it takes and a Barca fan of all people should not be...

Don't try to make excuses for the loss, we were rolled over and didn't have a single shot on target and they were denied 2 possible penalties. It always eases the pain when your rivals feel the burn as well but that doesn't mean you should make false reasons for our loss to act superior to...

Kompany is rather overrated as well.... Subotic is good but there hasn't been any interest.

What would happen if both Bayern and Dortmund choke in the final??? :lol: But in reality congrats to Dortmund and German football in general, who have looked hungry all season. It's not "the end of a Spanish cycle", just a transition period. Just because one dynasty rises doesn't necessarily...

:lol: These semifinals are full of such exaggerated upsets. No one would be overly surprised that Barca lost to Bayern but 4-0 is a shocking scoreline. As for this, it would be a surprise that Real even lose to Dortmund, let alone 4-1.

Out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury sadly, although considering that the season is almost over I doubt it's a huge issue for him. He'll be ready and fit towards the beginning of next season to help lead the Athletic defense to a hopefully strong 2013/14 season. In the mean...

One of the most underrated players in the world and he constantly steps up for both Germany and Bayern (CL final, World Cup Golden boot at 20 years old, and most recently crushing Barca). There looks to be nothing really special about him in terms of technique or physicality but he is really...

Valid points. I'd say Gotze will be given a free roaming role as a #10 behind the striker, but either way a focal point in attack as players make runs for him to link on with or play through balls to. Although Gotze has played as a false 9 for Germany if I'm not mistaken. I'm not a follower of...

Remember that Pep is gonna reconstruct the team. He might not change the formation, but he'll adapt the system to fit around Gotze. That has to be the main reason that Gotze was convinced to leave Dortmund. He was told he would spearhead Guardiola's new project at Bayern and he couldn't resist that.

Where to even begin... I for one am truly shocked that this is actually true and that he would betray Dortmund like that and push for this transfer. This is very VERY disappointing. 1. Not an even slightly respectable move on his part. I used to applaud him for being one of the more loyal...

:lol: Not trying to be disrespectful, but I find it funny that Alexis can be any clubs priority signing, let alone a club like Juve who are on the hunt for goalscorers.

If you look closely at the density of the areas you can see that a huge deal of the passes were around the central area and not penetrating centrally to the defense This shows: -Obviously Messi was isolated from sparking attacks -They pressed to the point where the only option was to pass...

Is that why Bartra hasn't featured much even at times when the decision to not play him is baffling? He's nervous? It was apparent in the game vs Celta Vigo but it's a surprise to me now considering he's a professional and he's already played vs PSG.
