Arsenal trailed Bayern Munich 5-1 after the first leg of the clubs’ round-of-32 tie and, for a while, looked to be winning back some pride as they led through Theo Walcott’s goal. But then Laurent Koscielny was sent off, after which Arsenal conceded five times to exit 10-2 on aggregate. PSG’s margin of defeat was just one goal but, given they had won the first vs. Barcelona 4-0, that they were knocked out at all was nothing short of a footballing disaster. After 88 minutes, Unai Emery’s men led 5-3 on aggregate — and had an away goal — only…
“Sign up some nurses,” he urged Catalonia’s hospitals, warning them to a sharp rise in birth rates to come in nine months’ time. “There’s going to be a lot of love made tonight.” In the maternity hospital right next to the Camp Nou, they would have known that what he said wasn’t quite as daft as it sounded: A spokeswoman once claimed that Andres Iniesta’s last-minute goal against Chelsea in 2009 had produced a 50 percent spike in births at one of the city’s hospitals. Now, Pique said, it was going to happen all over again, only more so. “This…
It was the smallest away following for a European game since English clubs were readmitted into European competition in 1990 and visited a city with only two hotels that could be used by westerners; the players were in one, the fans another. The players got the short straw, finding beds so small that they were fit only for jockeys. United managed a 0-0 draw in the first leg of the UEFA Cup tie and everyone was confident of victory in the return at Old Trafford, but it didn’t happen. Before an attendance of just 29,724, goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel scored, but…
So proficient in the pyrotechnics of tiki-taka did Arsenal become that Barcelona began to regard it as something of a feeder club. Over the course of the past 18 years, the Spanish superpower spent almost $200 million on eight of Wenger’s players, including two of his captains: Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas. “They play in a style that most emulates what we do at Barcelona,” said no less an authority than Andres Iniesta. Unfortunately, as Arsenal supporters were brutally reminded over the course of two logic-shredding, history-making days, the comparison ends there. It’s one thing to play like Barcelona, quite…
Roberto latched on to a Neymar cross to score the sixth goal in Barca’s thrilling 6-1 win, making them the first team in the history of the competition to overturn a four-goal deficit from the first leg. It was the third goal in the final seven minutes of the match and led to pandemonium at Camp Nou, with coaching staff and supporters streaming on to the pitch and Luis Enrique injuring himself in the melee. “I left some ligaments on the pitch but it was worth it!” the Barca coach joked after the game. It wasn’t just at Camp Nou…
Arsene Wenger has intensified his call for video replays to be introduced in football, saying UEFA will soon face lawsuits if they don’t do more to help referees. Wenger was furious with the referee after Arsenal’s 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday and also highlighted Barcelona’s two penalties in their epic comeback against Paris Saint-Germain as further evidence that match officials need more help. Luis Suarez was accused of diving to earn Barcelona their second penalty, while many felt Neymar also went down easily for the first spot kick of the game. And Wenger said…
Wayne Rooney leaving Manchester United for a transfer to China last month always seemed like the wrong move at the wrong time, if only for the fact that the 31-year-old has unfinished business at the club. Rooney did not want to disappear through the back door after almost 13 years at Old Trafford, while manager Jose Mourinho knew that, at some point between the closure of the Chinese transfer window on Feb. 28 and the end of the season, he would need to turn to the United and England captain. Every statistic points to Rooney being a fading force at…
