Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo thanked supporters of Liverpool for their display of support in Tuesday's Premier League meeting between the teams, which the Portuguese player missed due to the death of his newborn son.
Liverpool's first half display against Manchester United at Anfield on Tuesday deserves its own DVD. The special features would include an option to watch every touch from Thiago and Sadio Mané, who were four or five steps ahead of the opposition at every turn.
It was Mané's clever play in the midst of United's disorganization that led to Liverpool's opener in the fifth-minute, but his assist for Mohamed Salah on Liverpool's second in the 22nd was one of the best passes you'll see all season.
Marcelo Flores aún no debuta en el primer equipo del Arsenal, pero su desarrollo en las divisiones inferiores del equipo inglés no ha pasado inadvertido para Mikel Arteta, entrenador de la primera escuadra de los Gunners.
Nearly the entire soccer world is behind Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodríguez after the couple announced the death of their newborn son on Monday. Ronaldo understandably missed United’s Tuesday game against Liverpool, but that didn’t stop the Liverpool fans clapping for Ronaldo.
The idea spread online to have a gesture for Ronaldo in this difficult time. When the clock hit seven minutes in the Liverpool vs. Manchester United game all the fans at Anfield had a heartwarming moment for CR7 and his family.
Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo will not play against Liverpool in the Premier League later on Tuesday following the death of his newborn son a day earlier, the club said.
Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez, who announced in October last year they were expecting twins, said on Monday that one of the two babies had died.
Talking points from the weekend's Premier League action:
RONALDO DOES IT AGAIN
Once again Manchester United put in a below-par performance. Once again they needed David de Gea saves to bail them out, and once again Cristiano Ronaldo came to the rescue with a hat-trick in a 3-2 win over Norwich City on Saturday.
El PSV venció al Ajax por 2-1 y levantó su primera Copa de los Países Bajos en 10 años. Y mucho de la victoria vino de la mano del mexicano Erick Gutiérrez, quien además de su despliegue habitual en el mediocampo marcó el gol que inició la remontada de los Granjeros camino al título.
La final suponía ser un imán para los aficionados mexicanos, porque además de Guti, en la otra esquina estaba Edson Álvarez.
MADRID - Real Madrid's Karim Benzema struck an added time winner as the visitors recovered from two goals down to beat title rivals Sevilla 3-2 in a thrilling LaLiga clash on Sunday that took Carlo Ancelotti's side a step closer to winning the title.

WHO ELSE BUT KING BENZEMA!!
