Video: Lionel Messi’s brilliant second goal (Real Madrid v Barcelona) Posted: 28 Apr 2011 01:19 AM PDT Sheer class If ever there was a game this goal didn’t belong in, it was last night’s Champions League semi-final scrap between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Video: Chelsea defender David Luiz auditions for the Churchill adverts Posted: 27 Apr 2011 07:33 AM PDT Oh, yes! Ever since Brazilian centre-back David Luiz arrived on our shores, OTP has thought he seemed like an agreeable bloke. And so it proved.
