Champions League 2010 2011 Roma Shakhtar Donetsk

First and Second Leg

uefa champions league 2010/11
round of 16 March 2011
Just a couple weeks ago, Roma were likely the heavy favorites for their Champions League match with Shakhtar Donetsk. After all, despite the fact that Shakhtar took their group, this is the first time the Ukrainian side has made it into the Round of 16. Deep into their winter break, the club hasn't played a competitive match in 70 days. Roma, meanwhile, were flying high in Serie A, believing themselves to have secured a Champions League spot for next year as well. But on the eve of Wednesday's match, Roma haven't won in their last three matches, with two successive defeats seeing them slide down to eighth place.

English Leagues the 70s: Crystal Palace Manchester United Division One 1972 1973

16 December 1972
Selhurst Park,
London

  The end of the 71-72 season saw George Best's increasingly chaotic life unravelling further. At the start of the campaign Best had been in top form and at one point he reeled off 11 goals in a 10-match spell to drive United to the top of the table. But in the New Year he vanished for days and United's title hopes disappeared with him. Astonishingly, despite missing training on numerous occasions and going AWOL between games, Best still managed to play in 40 of United's 42 league matches and finished the club's top scorer yet again with 18 goals. In May 1972 he failed to turn up to play for Northern Ireland against Scotland and he admitted publicly that his drinking was out of control. He escaped to Spain, insisting that he had retired from professional football, aged 26. But his retirement lasted just a fortnight and he returned to Manchester in time for the start of the 1972/73 season. The messy end to his career, though, was in sight. By now United had degenerated into something like anarchy, with the dressing room riven by discontent. Best in open revolt and results in freefall. United opened the new season abysmally, failing to win any of their first nine games and they were knocked out of the League Cup by Bristol Rovers. It was clear that O'Farrell, a mild-mannered man from Cork, was unable to keep a lid on the madness and he was relieved of his duties in December 1972, thanked for his services and paid off with a golden goodbye of about £50.000. He left Old Trafford feeling bitter about his treatment, frustrated that he had never been able to exert any authority while Busby was still around. Many of the players still called him Boss and OTarrell felt he had been let down by him. 'I had never admired a man as much as Matt Busby,' O'Farrell said. 'But when I left Old Trafford I had never been let down by any man as much as by him.' Many of the players, who had not wanned to O'Farrell's self-effacing, low-key character, were glad to see O'Farrell leave. Denis Law said, 'He came a stranger and he left a stranger.'

Liga 2010 2011 Real Saragosse Real Madrid

Estadio de la Romareda, 
Zaragoza
Referee : R. Domínguez
Attendance : 33000

 Le Real Saragosse est condamné à l’exploit pour la réception du Real Madrid. La Maison Blanche s’est rapidement remis de la leçon de catalan reçue lors du classico. Valence a été battu a Santiago Bernabeu par 2 buts à 0. Néanmoins, la manière n’était pas là, et the Special One a décidé de jouer sans avant-centre.

Le Réal Madrid est second au classement , la victoire est impérative face au dernier du classement , 5 victoires sur les 6 dernières rencontres , la seule défaite à Barcelonne dans le match au sommet n'a pas entamé le moral des madrilènes qui ont rebondi en s'imposant face à Valence puis en champion league face à Auxerre , Saragosse n'a plus gagné sur sa pelouse depuis 1 mois , mais face à un adversaire d'une telle envergure , le match risque de ressembler à un match à sens unique...

Les deux équipes restent sur deux très belles séries. Le Real a remporté dix de ses onze derniers matchs toutes compétitions confondues tandis que Getafe est invaincu depuis huit rencontres, avec notamment cinq victoires consécutives.

Cette rencontre est d'une importance capitale pour le Real Madrid si les Merengues souhaitent rester au contact du FC Barcelone, vainqueur hier soir de Levante (2-1). Avec cinq points de retard, les hommes de "Mou" doivent s'imposer pour recoller au classement. Bonne surprise du championnat, Getafe est septième de la Liga, tout proche des places qualificatives pour l'Europe...

After la Blaugrana had erred against Sporting de Gijon, it was of vital importance that los Blancos took full advantage, and they did just that by edging a fading Espanyol side 1-0 at the Cornella-El Prat. Iker Casillas may have been dismissed seconds after the opening whistle, but the loss of the goalkeeper didn’t equate to a loss of points as a goal from Marcelo proved enough for Jose Mourinho’s men.
Levante are a side who have played in fits and starts all season, and that trend has continued over the course of recent weeks. After a woeful run of five successive losses, Luis Garcia’s unit have since rediscovered their winning touch and have pieced together a very useful run of three successive wins, which have pulled them away from the drop zone...

In 1986, Silvio Berlusconi acquired the AC Milan and immediately invested a lot of money in the team, appointing rising coach Arrigo Sacchi at the helm of the Rossoneri and signing a Dutch trio of Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten and Frank Rijkaard. This was the beginning of the most successful time in the club's history, as Milan won seven domestic titles, five Champions League trophies, five UEFA Super Cups, two Intercontinental Cups and one Fifa Club World Cup......The Arrigo Sacchi team was called "The Immortals".......

This match, which dates back to 1980, featured an Ipswich side a million miles from the one that exists today. They had recently won the FA Cup, were often in the top four and would very soon go on to life the UEFA Cup, and that actually meant something back then. Still, 6-0 is a hell of a beating, especially when you count the number of penalties young Gary Bailey saves (it’s more than one).
