There is no dressing up the fact that Bremen are in trouble. Every week Thomas Schaaf and co must wonder when the club's fortunes will improve, only for things to get even worse. Last weekend's 4-0 defeat in the Nord derby to rivals Hamburg was a sickening experience for all concerned with the club, especially 250 fans in particular who sought answers from the team. Their is certainly a contrast in fortunes between the two sides heading into Sunday's crucial game between Bremen and Leverkusen. Leverkusen come into the game on the back of a 4-2 victory over Stuttgart and a 6-0 aggregate win in the Europa League over Metalist Kharkiv to send die Werkself into the last 16.

Primera Division 1992 1993 Real Madrid Seville
A l'issue de longues négociations, Diego Armando Maradona est transféré du SSC Napoli au Sevilla Futbol Club. Un contrat d'un an, avec option sur une deuxième saison, et de 7,5 millions de dollars. Environ 38 MF. Sur le bord de la piscine de l'hôtel Andalousi Park, où il s'est retranché le 19 avec femme, filles, père, belle-mère, manager, avocat et toute la clique, Maradona fond en larmes. Il remercie la planète entière, Ferlaino compris ! « On m'a exposé comme le pire des criminels. Mais aujourd'hui le cauchemar est terminé. Je veux que ma famille redevienne fière de moi. » Et de promettre qu'un petit Maradona naîtra en Andalousie. Les voisins de la suite royale n° 113 passeront une nuit blanche. Champagne ! Dans l'après-midi du 27, Maradona ne tient plus en place. On lui administre un calmant. Il dormira une vingtaine d'heures. Son excitation n'est pas fortuite. Après quinze mois de pénitence, pour consommation de cocaïne, et trois autres mois d'abstinence, il effectue le lendemain son grand retour sur un terrain de football. Presentations officielles contre le Bayern de Lothar Matthaus. l'autre convalescent notoire. A l'occasion d'un des huit matches amicaux programmés dans le cadre de son transfert et destinés à éponger la lourde dette qu'il aurait contractée au pied du Vésuve.

English Leagues the 60s: Chelsea Manchester United Division One 1968 1969
Match of The Day
Stamford Bridge,
London
Saturday 15 March 1969
The arrival of Dave Sexton as Chelsea's manager did nothing to dull the artistry of a side that painted on a broad canvas. In the next two years, they joined the privileged English masters in the European winners' academy.
The style and free spirit of their football was matched by that of the European champions Manchester United when a crowd of 60 000 saw
the teams walk out side by side in front of BBC cameras. Bobby Charlton was injured, but George Best was there, so was Denis Law, and Peter Osgood was back for Chelsea. The match was a thriller.
David Webb put Chelsea ahead in the first minute, Ian Hutchinson made it 2—0, then Steve James pulled one back for United.
In the second half, Bobby Tambling ran half the length of the pitch for Chelsea's third, and Law scored from a penalty.
But there was still time for humour in the game of the 60s.
The cameras caught referee George McCabe calming dowr an incensed Nobby Stiles by ruffling his hair.
Chelsea: Bonetti, Webb, McCreadie, Hollins, Dempsey. Harris, Boyle, Tambling, Hutchinson, Osgood, Houseman.
Scorers: Webb, Hutchinson, Tambling
Manchester United: Stepney, Fitzpatrick, A. Dunne, Crerand, James, Stiles, Morgan, Kidd, Sadler, Law, Best.
Scorers: James, Law (pen.)
