Borussia Dortmund team ‘treated’ to flash mob after Champions League final defeat Posted: 28 May 2013 06:28 AM PDT The day after a late Champions a league final to your greatest domestic rivals, Borussia Dortmund’s players probably just wanted to get back home quietly, before signing their moves to Bayern Munich in the next few weeks, but it wasn’t to be. That’s thanks to a Puma-organised flashmob at Stansted airport, which blared Movin On [...]

Paris St Germain goalkeeper Ronan Le Crom cries after poor debut against Lorient Posted: 28 May 2013 06:25 AM PDT Paris St Germain had wrapped the title up well before their last day of the season trip to Lorient, and therefore took the opportunity to give a few squad players a run out. This approach included the introduction on the hour mark of third-choice goalkeeper Ronan Le Crom, who replaced Salvatore Sirigu. Le Crom, no [...]

FAIL! Actor Will Smith takes awful penalty at UEFA Champions League final event Posted: 28 May 2013 06:18 AM PDT American celebrities haven’t got a great record when it comes to taking penalties. Diana Ross famously ‘broke the goal’ with the power of her dribbled penalty in the opening ceremony of the 1994 World Cup, and now Will Smith has very much become the Diana Ross of the 21st century. The actor was present at [...]

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is mobbed, urged to sign Gonzalo Higuain Posted: 28 May 2013 04:41 AM PDT Arsene Wenger found himself to be an unlikely attraction at the Champions League final. The Arsenal manager was surrounded by supporters who chanted Gunners’ songs in his direction. One member of the crowd began to demand that Wenger signs Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain. In fact, he’s pretty adamant about it. Via 101GG

Was Jose Mourinho scouting Chelsea youngster Nathaniel Chalobah during Crystal Palace vs Watford? Posted: 28 May 2013 03:16 AM PDT Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho was an unexpected visitor for yesterday’s Championship play-off final between Crystal Palace and Watford. The Special One’s appearance at Wembley sparked a series of theories, the most plausible of which is that he was running the rule over Watford’s on-loan Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah. The 18-year-old has been an important [...]

Crystal Palace play-off winner Kevin Phillips says he was spurred on by Watford boos Posted: 28 May 2013 03:04 AM PDT Kevin Phillips says the boos from fans of former club Watford spurred him on as he secured promotion to the Premier League for Crystal Palace. The veteran striker started his long career at Vicarage Road, but was not given a warm reception by the Hornets supporters at Wembley. And they probably like him even less [...]

Top five Champions League final conclusions: Bayern Munich 2-1 Borussia Dortmund Posted: 28 May 2013 02:06 AM PDT 1. Arjen Robben has proven that if you take enough shots in Champions League finals, you will eventually score the winner. He had 24 attempts on goal in three previous finals before his all important effort in the dying minutes of Saturday’s final. 2. Bayern boss Jupp Heynckes is bowing out in style. We’re not [...]

All-German Champions League final marred by Nazi obsessed linesman and advertising hoardings Posted: 28 May 2013 01:39 AM PDT What’s the last thing you’d want to see in a high profile match between Germany’s two biggest clubs? Probably a pro-Nazi slogan topped by a man giving a straight-armed salute. That’s exactly what happened during Saturday’s Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. An unfortunately placed linesman, arm extended, naturally, managed to position [...]
