Pasó lo que todos sospechaban que pasaría. Arropado por su familia, sus compañeros en el Barcelona e incluso Pep Guardiola, su ex técnico en Manchester City, Sergio Agüero anunció oficialmente su retiro del fútbol.
"Es un momento muy duro, pero estoy feliz igual por la decisión que tomé, porque lo primero es mi salud. Los médicos han hecho lo mejor y me aconsejaron dejar de jugar", afirmó el Kun entre sollozos y lágrimas.
Last week, Sam Kerr body slammed some piece of shit who invaded the pitch during Chelsea’s Women’s Champions League match against Juventus. Kerr was shown a yellow card as punishment. The pitch invader will not be punished at all.
Why? Misogyny, that’s why.
Given the popularity of superhero movies these days, it’s easy to believe they can do anything — one large-chinned figure can snap his fingers and make half the world disappear, another underwear-on-the-outside figure can fly so fast he can reverse time and another dude fires a bow and arrow really well (OK that guy I don’t get). But not even your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man’s webs can ensnare the fastest footballer on the planet.
LONDON — Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said the decision to strip Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of the club captaincy following a disciplinary breach was in the best interests of the club.
Arteta said he had broken the news to the Gabon international during a face to face meeting -- conceding it was an unpleasant situation to be dealing with.
Aubameyang will not be considered for selection for Wednesday's Premier League game at home to West Ham United.
After a software malfunction rendered the hugely anticipated Champions League Round of 16 draw void (as well as a clash between Lionel Messi's PSG and Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United), we finally know the last-16 matchups and can make our terrible Champions League predictions after a redraw was held nearly two hours after the event started.
Paris St Germain will face Real Madrid in a titanic clash in the last 16 of the Champions League while Manchester United take on Atletico Madrid after UEFA declared the original draw void due to a technical error in the process on Monday.
Earlier, United were mistakenly drawn with Villarreal, even though both teams had already faced each other in the group stage while the Premier League side's ball was not added to the bowl as a potential opponent for Atletico Madrid.
Round of 16 draw ✔️
LONDON - Conor Gallagher scored twice and James Tomkins was also on target as Crystal Palace arrested a run of three defeats by beating Everton 3-1 at Selhurst Park on Sunday to renew pressure on visiting manager Rafael Benítez.
Gallagher fired home four minutes before halftime as Palace took advantage of a defensive error and Tomkins stabbed home from a corner midway through the second half.
Manchester City defeated Wolverhampton 1-0 on Saturday in a game that featured 10 heroic Wolves and one silly boy named Raúl Jiménez. The Mexican striker managed to get himself sent off moments before halftime with two yellow cards in 31 seconds. The Jiménez yellow cards vs Man City must be some sort of record.
En siete años y medio de carrera en Europa, Raúl Jiménez nunca había sido expulsado. Hasta ahora. El mexicano tuvo su primera vez este sábado durante la visita del Wolverhampton al Manchester City, luego de una acción completamente evitable.
El descalabro de Jiménez comenzó a cocinarse en el tiempo de descuento de la primera parte, cuando el partido aún estaba empatado sin goles.
