THIS IS NO JOKE! Michael Jackson came alive in Lagos, Nigeria last night, February 28. If you were on the Island, you would have heard about it! If you were at Darey’s ‘Love Like A movie 3’ show, I DON’T need to say much, or ask Ciara for some backstage gist.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini said his side’s League Cup final triumph over Liverpool vindicated his decision to field a weakened team in their recent FA Cup defeat by Chelsea. Pellegrini came in for criticism for selecting a youthful team almost completely devoid of recognisable names for City’s trip to Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup fifth round, which saw Chelsea win 5-1. But City’s stars returned in a Champions League victory at Dynamo Kiev last week before edging Liverpool 3-1 on penalties in Sunday’s League Cup final at Wembley after the match had finished 1-1 following extra time. “I…
Three-time World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo has backtracked on critical comments of his Real Madrid teammates following their 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid. The derby defeat on Saturday realistically ended Real’s title challenge as they now trail leaders Barcelona by nine points having also played a game more. Ronaldo lambasted his teammates by suggesting Real would be top if everyone was as good as him. “If everyone was at my level, we would be top,” he said. However, Ronaldo issued a subsequent statement to Madrid sports daily Marca claiming he was referring to his fitness levels having not…
Barcelona boss Luis Enrique insists he will only be satisfied once his side have delivered another La Liga title after equalling a Spanish record by stretching their unbeaten run to 34 games. Barca were forced to come from behind against Sevilla on Sunday as a brilliant Lionel Messi free-kick and Gerard Pique’s winner overcame Vitolo’s early strike for the visitors. Victory restored Barca’s eight-point lead over Atletico Madrid at the top of the table with Real Madrid now 12 points adrift after losing 1-0 to Atletico on Saturday. And it is Madrid’s record of 34 games unbeaten from the 1988-89…
Fiorentina and Napoli thwarted each other’s Serie A missions and forsook valuable points in an exciting 1-1 draw at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. Former leaders Napoli had fallen four points behind Juventus and Gonzalo Higuain’s equaliser — his first goal in five matches cancelled out Marcos Alonso’s early header — was only enough to reduce the gap to three points on Monday night. La Viola, meanwhile, draw level on points with Roma in the final Champions League place, but remain fourth thanks to an inferior head-to-head record. Earlier, Sassuolo underlined their European credentials by surprising Lazio 2-0 at the Stadio…

The France international should be fit again in time for the league match against Barcelona at the Camp Nou on April 2. Madrid did not say exactly how long the player is expected to be sidelined, noting that “his recovery will continue to be assessed.” Benzema had missed the game against…
Alexandre Pato is now in contention to make his Chelsea debut as the champions prepare to rest Diego Costa to ensure he is fresh to face Paris Saint-Germain, interim manager Guus Hiddink has said. Chelsea face Norwich City at Carrow Road and Stoke City at Stamford Bridge this week before the second leg of their Champions League round-of-16 clash with the Ligue 1 leaders, and Hiddink has already voiced his annoyance with the congested nature of the Blues’ fixture schedule in the coming weeks. Costa has been rejuvenated since Hiddink succeeded Jose Mourinho in December, registering nine goals and six…
Yaya Toure may stay at Manchester City next season and play under new manager Pep Guardiola, according to his brother Kolo Toure. Yaya is expected by many to leave City in the summer when Guardiola takes over from Manuel Pellegrini. The midfielder was sold by Guardiola to City in 2010 when the pair were at Barcelona together and his agent Dimitry Seluk said earlier this month that Yaya will likely be on his way out of the club at the end of the season. However, older brother Kolo believes that the City player still has a future at the Etihad…
Luis Suarez would “love” to have Lionel Messi’s left foot and Neymar’s pace and joy for the game, the Barcelona striker has revealed. Suarez helped Barcelona to an historic Treble last season, and along with superstar South American teammates Messi and Neymar has put the club in position to repeat the feat in 2016. The attacking trio have accounted for 94 goals this campaign already, blending their different talents to compose a near-unstoppable front line for the La Liga leaders, with Suarez contributing 41 in all competitions. While accepting the award for Spanish news agency EFE’s best Latin American player…
