Why Sergio Ramos is not in the wrong at all

In case you’ve been living under a rock over the past few days, the Champions League final last weekend was one for the record books. Real Madrid faced off against Liverpool in Kiev for European club soccer’s most prestigious prize. Madrid were victorious 3-1, largely thanks to a Gareth Bale masterclass, landing the club their third straight title in the competition, a feat last replicated in the 1970s.  Any unbiased soccer fan will tell you that Madrid definitely deserved to win on the day, however the match was marred by a nasty looking injury to Liverpool’s star man Mohamed Salah early in the game. Trying to control the ball to accelerate away from the defender, Salah and Madrid captain Sergio Ramos locked arms and the Spanish defender sent the Egyptian winger to the ground, landing on top of him. Whilst a somewhat clean tackle, the fall was particularly awkward, so much so that Salah actually sprained several muscles in his shoulder, dislocating it in the process. He was forced

What We Can Learn From THAT Wayne Rooney Assist

Former Everton and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has always been a fighter. England’s all time top goal scorer, Rooney has a habit of putting all off-the-pitch drama to one side, and giving 110% in every match he plays, which earned him the accolade for the national team, as well as surpassing legend Bobby Charlton’s goal scoring tally at Old Trafford with 253 goals. This led Rooney to become one of the most formidable forwards the Premier League has ever seen. Now, Rooney plays for another United, this time in Washington D.C. Having scored on his debut, and created a few more assists in his short MLS career so far, Rooney and his teammates took on Orlando City SC last week in what would prove to be a memorable game. To recap, United took the lead twice through Luciano Acosta, only for Orlando to equalize both times; quite a feat for them, who not only have struggled for goals this season, but also had been playing with ten men for much of the second half. Earning a corner

The Ballad of Andres Iniesta

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta announced that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season. Just a few days later, Barcelona secured the La Liga title, and are on course for a potential unbeaten season. From back in 2002 when he made his debut at the Nou Camp, to now, Iniesta has been a constant in the Barcelona team. Quickly forming a rock solid partnership with Xavi in the middle of the field, Iniesta was able to allow his teammates to flourish everywhere by providing quality passes and crosses to them. Arguably one of the best passers and dribblers of all time, the Spaniard experienced success for years in Spain, at the same time as playing with greats like Ronaldinho, Eto’o, and Henry. Back in 2016, when his lifelong friend and teammate decided to leave the club, there was a noticeable hole in the Barcelona midfield. Iniesta was quick to fill this void by playing even harder. Despite aging, it seemed like Iniesta was still as agile as ever, continuing to show why h
