The refrain around this season's AC Milan team is that it's built different. After capturing its last league title in 2011, the club's rot — falling from second-place in 2012 to as low as 10th in 2015 — had turned the Rossoneri from European titans to a collection of disbelievers.
A game between Cobreloa and Santiago Wanderers in the Chilean second division is doing the rounds online after the match officials awarded an unbelievable ghost goal.
It is so bad that even the referee who called the game now is saying he cannot believe what happened.
A 17-year-old Quebec soccer referee was assaulted by a soccer parent over the weekend and a video capturing the confrontation has spread on the internet. The incident happened during a U14 soccer game in Dollard-des-Ormeaux outside of Montreal.

After a nerve-wracking 4-3 victory over Tokyo Verdy, Albirex Niigata reached 29 points last weekend and became one of the three leaders in the J2 League, the Japanese second division.
Despite there still being two-thirds of the tournament ahead, fans are already excited about a possible promotion, and players can't hide their joy either. In fact, once the game ended, the squad celebrated the victory and the chemistry created around in a sui generis way: becoming a human bowling alley and portraying a perfect strike.
No es un día fácil para ser aficionado de Pumas. Los de la UNAM perdieron de manera estrepitosa la final de la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf ante el Seattle Sounders (3-0) y con ello dejaron morir una racha de 16 años de dominio mexicano en la competencia.
Obviamente, el universo de la Liga MX no ha visto con buenos ojos la afrenta sufrida por los universitarios y han descargado su sentir de la forma en que se hace estos días: la burla y el meme.
Buscando impacto en redes sociales y la apertura de nuevas audiencias, la Liga MX nunca ha sido tímida a la hora de celebrar Star Wars Day.
Por lo mismo no es raro ver a varios clubes haciendo post alusivos a la fecha cada 4 de mayo (May, The 4th --> a.ka. May The Force, ya tú sabes). La saga es tan popular que incluso Xolos de Tijuana estrenó hace un par de temporadas un jersey oficial y conmemorativo de su universo.
Que la fuerza te acompañe, siempre.
Since the Süper Lig's inception in 1959, only two clubs outside Istanbul have ever won the title. Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş and İstanbul Başakşehir have combined for 58.
It makes sense when you consider Istanbul's standing as the most populated of Turkey's 81 provinces, and the most populous European city, at 15,519,267 — almost three times more than Turkey's capital city and second-most populated Ankara.
A clip of a Feyenoord fan vs Marseille fans during Thursday’s Europa Conference League semifinal has gotten over a million views, and it’s easy to see why.
Feyenoord and Marseille played a thrilling five-goal first leg that saw the Dutch hosts take a 3-2 lead in the tie. When Feyenoord took a 2-0 lead after goals in the 18th and 20th minutes, one fan next to the Marseille away section revealed the badge of the visitors’ bitter rival.
¡Ay, Pumas! Los de la UNAM desperdiciaron una linda chance de ganar la primera final de la Liga de Campeones de Concacaf ante Seattle Sounders. Hasta el minuto 75, el equipo controlaba el juego y gozaba de una sólida ventaja de 2-0. Su rival, sin embargo, salió de su tumba y rescató un valioso 2-2 para la revancha en suelo estadounidense.
Wow! That was a roller coaster. Manchester City and Real Madrid gifted the world a nerve-wracking first semifinal in the Champions League. Yes, the English club got the win, but in the long list of highlights, it is impossible not to talk about Vinícius Jr.'s goal, a beautiful display of pace and skill. The best of the seven we witnessed Tuesday night.
The Brazilian winger scored in the 55th minute, in a sequence where he should have been fined for speeding.
