Champions League Quarterfinals Goals - April 12, 2016

It has been a week and we miss Champions League very much. Thankfully, the second leg of the quarterfinals kicked off today with Real Madrid hosting Wolfsburg and PSG traveling to Manchester. With Real Madrid down, 2 - 0 to Wolfsburg, it was time for Cristiano Ronaldo. The superstar scored two goals in two minutes and completed his hat trick in the 77th minute to give Real Madrid the 3 - 2 lead on aggregate. Ronaldo scored in the 15th and 17th minutes in a stunning turn of events. Just like that, Madrid was tied with Wolfsburg and had all the momentum.

Kagawa Receives A Backheel Then Gets Cheeky

You know when you're ballin' with your mates and you execute the perfect pass, or a sweet dummy but they mess it up? That isn't what happened here and we thank our lucky stars for that. Moritz Leitner fed Shinji Kagawa a beautiful backheel and he Japanese international lofted a beautiful 18-yard chip past the Schalke goalkeeper. It was swaggy and it was smooth. Dortmund have a big Europa League match coming up this week in Anfield and are 7 points behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. It's going to be a tight finish for Thomas Tuchel's bunch. 

High School Keeper Flattens Opponent With Headfirst Tackle (Video)

There are tackles, and then there are TACKLES. This one from Pine Forest (N.C.) High School goalkeeper Cassie Sturtz falls into the latter bucket.

He Could Have Hit It Anywhere, But He Cleared The Ball Into His Own Net

Today we bring you to the Oceania Champions League in order to see some of the most marvelous incompetence you will ever see. The following own goal isn’t just bad, it’s world-class bad. As in you could line up 99% of the players on the planet in this same situation, and they wouldn’t be able to score an own goal.

One Keeper Tried A Move, The Other Didn’t. Guess Which One Got Scored On.

Goal keepers really aren’t supposed to pull off moves. In fact, they are so not supposed to pull off moves, that when they do they take everyone by surprise and usually work. 

Case in point: Simon Mignolet during Liverpool vs Borussia Dortmund. Notice how Liverpool’s Mignolet is being closed down hard by Dortmund’s Pierre Emerick Aubameyang.

We've all seen ESPN 30 for 30's. If you haven't, then it's time for you to reevaluate your life and go watch The Two Escobars. But until you do that, you now know the directors of The Two Escobars are coming out with a movie surrounding arguably the greatest footballer to ever live; Pele. The life story of the Brazilian legend is a great one, surrounded by the inspiring rags to riches fairy tale.

It Looked Like A Flop, But This Defender Actually Lost His Tooth.

I did not see this coming at all when I went to review the aftermath of Real Madrid’s shocking loss to Wolfsburg in the Champions League quarter-finals, but apparently Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos knocked a tooth out of Wolfsburg full-back Vieirinha’s mouth.

'El Cashico' Demonstrates The Hilarity Of Soccer

As the late, great Johan Cruyff once said, “Football is simple. But nothing is more difficult than playing simple football.”

In no match has this idea been better exemplified than Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinal between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.

Here were two giants of modern club football going toe to toe with the mouthwatering prospect of a place in the semifinals at stake. Fueled by millions of dollars of investment, the squads sent out were the remuneration of yearly fine-tuning and financial one-upmanship.
