Cristiano Ronaldo has owned the Champions League so much that he wants the competition to name itself after him. After Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 on Saturday, Ronaldo lifted the European Cup for the fifth time in his career -- the first player to do so in the Champions League era. And though he didn't find the net against Liverpool, Ronaldo finished as the top scorer this season with 15 goals. It's the sixth straight season he's finished with at least a share of the lead -- a fact that he said should deserve even greater recognition. "Who was top scorer again?" he asked reporters. "The Champions League should change its name and call itself the CR7 Champions League... I've won five, top scorer again, I can't be unhappy at that." Ronaldo already has an airport, hotel chain and underwear line named after him, so how about it, UEFA? Source: ESPN

The 2018 UEFA Champions League final has come and gone with Gareth Bale scoring twice to give Real Madrid a 3-1 victory. Loris Karius had an awful game directly at fault for the 1st and 3rd goal scored by Madrid. You can make up your mind if the Liverpool goalkeeper was at fault for this Gareth Bale screamer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_dng0nxyn4 However, the main talking point of the match has to be Sergio Ramos’ tackle on Mohamed Salah that led to a dislocated shoulder that forced the Egyptian out of the match and threatens his participation at the World Cup in Russia next month. However, an adage states: “a picture speaks more than a thousand words”. See this picture of Cristiano Ronaldo looking at Mo Salah in the tunnel before the game with what looks like disgust or contempt. Then during the match see Ramos continually exerting pressure on Salah’s arm. Kareem Benzema and Sadio Mane were also on the score sheet on a night that saw Real Madrid win its 13th UEFA Champions Leagu...

Senior National Team of the Democratic Republic of Congo, otherwise known as Simba including Africa's most expensive footballer Cedric Bakambu, flew into Port Harcourt on Thursday night ahead of Monday’s 2018 FIFA World Cup Send Forth encounter with the Super Eagles. Bakambu on February 28, 2018, the final day of the Chinese transfer window joined Beijing Guoan on a four-year deal in a reported €74 million deal which is an African transfer record. Ranked 38 in the world (nine places ahead of three-time African champions Nigeria), the Simba themselves came very close to a Russia 2018 ticket, conceding to Tunisia only on the last day of the race. A period of loss of concentration, which enabled the Carthage Eagles to score two quick goals and tie their encounter in Kinshasa on 5th September 2017 was their undoing, as subsequent victory over Libya in Monastir was neutralized by Tunisia’s own defeat of Guinea. Yet, the Simba, who won the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil in 1968 and ...

As the champions league 2018 final comes up tomorrow, here is a list of 12 greats who never or have never won the UEFA Champions League. 12. Cesc Fabregas. Fabregas has made over 100 appearances in the competition, but the Spaniard was a runner-up with Arsenal in 2006, before earning his dream move back to boyhood club Barcelona five years later – just after they had won their fourth Champions League in its current format. He left for Stamford Bridge in 2014, the summer before the Catalans' fifth and most recent success. Cesc would not have been amused. 11. Micheal Ballack. Finishing runner-up with one team is bad enough, but to do it with two must be galling. That's the fate that befell Ballack: first in 2002 with Bayer Leverkusen, then six years later with Chelsea. The midfielder was on the wrong side of one of the competition's greatest ever goals in his first final defeat, as Zinedine Zidane converted with a magnificent volley. In 2008 he was forced to watch on as Joh...

Reports coming out of various sources close to the camp of the Super Eagles of Nigeria suggest that Kelechi Nwakali has been added to the World Cup squad of Nigeria for the 2018 showpiece in Russia. Nwakali according to unconfirmed reports will train with the squad as a means of aiding his development and not necessarily for him to break into the World Cup team as he is not in the 30 man provisional list for the World Cup. Unconfirmed reports has it that his display against Atletico Madrid prompted coach Gernot Rohr to add him to his squad as part of the process of integrating him into the team for their post World Cup commitments. Rohr was impressed with the technique Nwakali used in scoring one of the two goals for Nigeria and above all his passing range during the entire duration of the game which ended 2-3 in favour of Atletico Madrid. He can only be part of the team if one of the players in the provisional list picks up an injury ruling him out of the World Cup before the start ...
