Barcelona 4-1 Real Betis while Messi suffer leg injury

Thanks to goals by Neymar, Pedro and a Cesc Fabregas double, Barcelona increased their lead at the top overcoming Real Betis and capitalize on a stumble by title rival Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

               

Messi limped off with a leg injury when the game was goalless before Neymar side footed Barca ahead after a low Cesc Fabregas cross.

Pedro's curling shot made it 2-0 before Fabregas finished off a fine team move.

Fabregas headed his side's fourth before Jorge Molina scored for Betis from the penalty spot.

It was too easy for the La Liga champions at times as bottom of the table Betis contributed to their own downfall with some poor defending.

"We started without any intensity and they were rolling over us for the first 20-25 minutes," Fabregas said. "But then we had a good 20 minutes before dominating in the second half."

Fabregas, who has started nine of Barca's 13 league matches and appeared particularly put out at not being chosen to start Wednesday's Champions League win over AC Milan, made it clear he wants to prove his worth to coach Gerard Martino.

"I know the starting 11 that my coach has in his head and that I am not in it," Fabregas said. "I will work as much as I can to erase any doubts."

Barcelona said Messi and Fabregas would undergo tests on Monday to determine the extent of their injuries.

Ramsey gave Arsenal a history win over Dortmund

Aaron Ramsey's header gave Arsenal a battling victory over Borussia Dortmund to keep Arsene Wenger's side top of Champions League Group F.

If Arsenal really are the symphony orchestra that Jürgen Klopp so colourfully described, there can be no doubt who has emerged this season as their lead conductor.

     

     

Aaron Ramsey had begun Wednesday by being voted Arsenal’s player of the month for a fourth consecutive time and ended it by scoring the winner in a hugely significant victory against Borussia Dortmund.

It was Ramsey’s 11th Arsenal goal in 17 games this season, equalling his return during his previous five years and 150 matches for the club.

Tomas Rosicky, the former Dortmund midfielder, switched the play to the right and, when the otherwise quiet Mesut Özil floated over a cross, Olivier Giroud challenged with every ounce of his physical strength. He did what he had to do and, suddenly, there was Ramsey, stretching to get there first, ignoring Neven Subotic's raised boot, to head beyond the clutches of Roman Weidenfeller. Ramsey has now equalled his goals return from his previous five seasons at the club.

In the end one goal was enough. Dortmund had failed to score only once in their last 60 home games and had won their last eight home ties in the Champions League, but their search for an equaliser constantly ran into dead ends and Szczesny did not have another serious save to make before the end.

The win gave Arsenal much-needed revenge for their defeat at home to Dortmund a fortnight ago, but their passage through to the last 16 is still far from straightforward.

Even if the Gunners beat bottom side Marseille at the Emirates on 26 November, they could still need to pick up a point at Napoli in their final group game in order to secure their progress.

Suarez want to win league title

Luis Suarez insists Liverpool are still aiming for the top despite being shot down by the Gunners at the weekend.

The controversial striker has dismissed reports linking him with a switch to Real Madrid in the January transfer window, by instead insisting he feels “comfortable and happy” at Anfield.


              

And he puts that down to an incredible team spirit he says won’t be diminished by the disappointing defeat at Arsenal, which saw the Reds blow a chance to go top of the Premier League.

“I know nothing of any interest from Real Madrid, and I am happy with Liverpool,” Suarez explained in an interview with Sport 890, a radio station in his native Uruguay.

“In the team we are all really excited, and looking forward to a good season. We have been at the top so far, and we are still aiming at the top - we still have momentum and we can believe that the top spot is marked for us.

“We believe in the team and we believe we can have a really good season - an exciting season.

“The Premier League is the best league there is. The stadiums, the atmosphere and the fans make football here so entertaining.”

Liverpool attacker Daniel Sturridge hopes strike partner Luis Suarez will remain at Anfield as he looks to build on a prolific start alongside the Uruguayan.

Suarez publicly stated his desire to leave during pre-season, prompting Arsenal to bid £40,000,001 million in an attempt to trigger a release clause, but the Reds held firm and rejected all offers.


             

The pair have since netted 16 goals between them this season but Sturridge is concerned by the continual uncertainty over Suarez, and admits it is ultimately the striker who will make the decision over his future.


"It’s great to play with him, we give defenders problems and we both play differently, so it’s good to have a strike partner you can bounce off," Sturridge told talkSPORT.

"It’s going to great for him and everybody wants him to stay and it’s up to Luis to decide what he wants to do.

"We as a club, the fans and the players, everybody wants him to stay, but if Luis wants to decide it’s best for him to move on then that’s the way it’s got to be. But I think everybody wants Luis to stay and I’m sure that he will."

Torino ended Roma's perfect start with 1-1

Roma's 100% start to the season was finally ended as Torino grabbed a fully deserved point, Alessio Cerci once again the hero for the Granata with his eighth goal of the season.

            

Dutchman Kevin Strootman put Roma ahead in the first half with a close-range finish.

But after the break Torino's top-scorer Alessio Cerci became just the second player to score against Roma this season to earn a deserved point.

Roma became the first team to win the opening 10 matches of a Serie A season when they beat Chievo 1-0 on Thursday.

           

Kevin Strootman put Roma ahead in the first half before Alessio Cerci's 63rd-minute equaliser ended Morgan De Sanctis's run of seven successive clean sheets and 744 minutes' playing time.

The only other goal Roma have conceded this season was in their third game against Parma, which they went on to win 3-1.

Roma lead Serie A with 31 points followed by Napoli and the title holders, Juventus, on 28.

Napoli beat Catania 2-1 and Juventus overcame Parma 1-0 away on Saturday night and the championship already looks likely to turn into a three-horse race.

Roma set a new Serie A record by winning their first 10 games and were on course for an 11th when the Dutchman Strootman fired them ahead after Miralem Pjanic had pulled the ball back.

But a lethargic Roma side handed the initiative to the hosts after the break. Riccardo Meggiorini had already forced a superb save from De Sanctis when he outmuscled the defender Mehdi Benatia and crossed low for Cerci to bundle the ball into the net against his former club.

Arsenal will spend big-money in January

Arsene Wenger is prepared to make more big-money moves at Arsenal, but will also persevere with youth development.

Wenger is a well-known advocate of developing youth players with opportunities in the first-team, while being relatively prudent in the transfer windows.

                

But the Gunners broke their usual practice over the summer with the club record acquisition of Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid.

The Arsenal boss insists that the club will continue to develop players through their renowned academy, but accepts that spending money on established players is essential to keep up in the Premier League.

"Of course, it's a big responsibility to spend that amount of money. But I feel comfortable with it because we had the money to do it. Before we couldn't have done it because we didn't have the money available. It's as simple as that," Wenger told the club's official website.

"I had a huge sense of responsibility when we built the stadium to get the club through it without going bankrupt. The first years were difficult, and also explained why we lost some players.

"Now we are in a more comfortable financial position, I - more than anyone - want the great players to play for Arsenal Football Club. If we have to spend the money to do that, I will spend the money."

Arsenal never lost a game after Ozil's join, and now Arsenal may buy Suarez in January, that will certainly make Arsenal more powerful. 

Iniesta: Why Real Madrid let Ozil go

Real Madrid have admitted that Gareth Bale has a "small chronic disc protrusion" in his back but have denied a report that he has suffered a spinal disc hernia or that there is any risk of him being forced to have surgery. After Marca report about Bale's back problem, more and more Real Madrid fans miss Ozil,

             

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniestahas also confused why Real Madrid would let Ozil go,"Ozil leave Real Madrid? I'm very confused about it. Ozil is one of those who understand soccer now. But they have their reasons."

Iniesta also told Cadena Ser's El Largueroradio programme he is not worried about his ongoing contract negotiations, insisting he expects to sign a new deal.

Per ESPNFC's Dermot Corrigan, Iniesta told the show money is not in his thinking when it comes to renewing, but rather that he would need to feel comfortable at the club.

Messi‘ biography,the special one

These days, Messi's biography is sold well in Argentina, this book talked about Messi's some personal experience,give us more informations about Messi.

An interesting childhood incident was extracted in the soon-to-be-released biography of Argentine international and Spain’s FC Barcelona striker Lionel Messi. 

  

 
The extract recalls that, “Messi was just 1.25 meters [4 feet 1 inch] tall [at the time], and was sent flying whenever he collided with the kids of his age,” AS quotes. 

The book reveals that the young Messi suffered deep distress as he dealt with his childhood growth issues, asking his doctor Diego Schwarzstein: “Am I going to grow enough to be able to play football?”

“He was fearful of being told he couldn’t be happy, because he could only be happy if he was playing football. He tried to read the doctor’s lips in anticipation of the response, until he finally heard what he wanted to be told: ‘You will be taller than Maradona,’” AS quotes

Messi also talk about his experience in Argentina team, he was shamed by his teammates, because he is god in Barcelona, but he can't take Argentina to win a world cup. They sang national anthem before Messi because Messi didn't sing before the game. They thought Messi didn't try to play well, he is selfish, he want to protect him from hurt.

Messi said he felt guilty due to his performance, moreover, his teammates also attacked me. "That make me very sad."

Robben: We are not Barcelona 2.0

Many people would like to say Bayern is Barcelona 2.0 since their coach are Pep Guardiola, who change Barcelona to a dream team.

Howerver, Arjen Robben has insisted that Bayern Munich are not trying to copy Barcelona's style of play, but rather following their own football philosophy.

The Bundesliga champions have been in impressive form in recent weeks, with a number of high-profile names claiming Bayern are an improved version of Pep Guardiola's old Blaugrana side.

However, Robben has dismissed suggestions that Bayern are merely imitating Barcelona's Tiki-Taka style under the Catalan coach.

"We are not Barcelona Part II. The comparison might seem logical but the focus should always be on ourselves," he told the reporters.

"We are Bayern Munich and we have different players to Barcelona. We don't have Xavi or Messi, but we have great players at the club."

Bayern currently sit atop of the Bundesliga with 20 points form eight games, while they also head their Champions League group.

Victor Valdes will leave Barcelona

Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has reminded club bosses that he will leave when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The Spain international is out of contract at the end of the season and has his heart set on a move abroad, revealing that he wants to try his luck in a different league

             

Victor Valdes has reiterated his internation to leave Barcelona next summer, explaining that he feels that his time at Camp Nou is over.

The Spain international is out of contract at the end of the season and announced during the summer that he would not be signing an extension.

A number of Barca players, including midfielder Andres Iniesta, have publicly stated that they have tried to persuade Valdes to change his mind and stay in Catalunya, but the 31-year-old shot-stopper says he has his heart set on a move abroad.

"My time here is done," the goalkeeper told Antena3. "They offered me the chance to renew [my contract] but my decision had been made."

"I am seeking new challenges. I want to play in another league and be with my family in another place.

"But this season I have still been feeling the love and support of the people and that is greatly appreciated."

Valdes, a product of Barcelona's youth academy, has spent his entire professional career to date at Camp Nou.

Real Madrid joined the race of Pirlo' transfer

Bleacherreport reported that Pirlo's contract with Juventus will end in 2014 summer, and Tottenham begins to contact Pirlo on free transfer.In fact,not only Tottenham, Manchester United,Chelsea and Arsenal are all want to take this midfield master to their team.And now,real madrid joined in.

            

The playmaker is attracting plenty of interest this season with his contract expiring with Juventus next summer, especially from the Premier League with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham after his services.


But Real Madrid have now joined the race, with Carlo Ancelotti having a 'close working relationship' with the veteran midfielder from their time shared at Milan.

However, Pirlo's main criteria is regular playing time and sees Madrid as a club where that may prove more difficult.

But Real Madrid have now joined the race, with Carlo Ancelotti having a 'close working relationship' with the veteran midfielder from their time shared at Milan.

However, Pirlo's main criteria is regular playing time and sees Madrid as a club where that may prove more difficult.

The Italy international was linked with a move to the Bernabeu in the summer, but nothing materialised due to their signing of Asier Illarramendi.

          

Former Bianconeri captain Gianluca Vialli has also added fuel to the Tottenham rumour, suggesting they are in the driving seat for the 34-year-old's signature.

“I’ve heard rumours from England that there has been contact between Pirlo and Tottenham for next season,” said the ex-Old Lady striker.

Juventus remains Pirlo's number one team and will stay there if he is promised first-team football, but is prepared to move abroad to another team of Juve's calibre.

“Juve are my priority, but I don’t want to be a weight for anybody. The years go by, but it is not written that I have to stay here just because I am called Pirlo," he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“If I had to change, perhaps I’ll go abroad. I’ll certainly continue playing for a high level team."

Eusebio thought he is better than Ronaldo

Benfica's 1960s great Eusebio has weighed in to the argument, saying he was upset by what he considered to be an unfair comparison because he had played fewer matches than Ronaldo.

"I am saddened because we can't make that comparison. It's a mistake because I played (around) 60 matches to score that amount (41 goals)," Eusebio told Portuguese national television.

           

Ronaldo reached 43 goals in 106 internationals after his hat-trick earned Portugal a 4-2 comeback win over Northern Ireland in last month's World Cup qualifier.

"This is historic. I'd scored a lot of hat-tricks for Real Madrid but never any for Portugal," he said after the game.

"Going above Eusebio in the scorers' list was a natural thing to happen and it was only a matter of time but still I am really proud," the smiling player said while showing off the match ball.

Ronaldo, a product of Sporting Lisbon's youth academy, has had a massive impact during his time with Manchester United, where he won the Champions League, and at Real Madrid.

Eusebio spent most of his career at Benfica, winning the 1962 European Cup and 11 league titles.

Those behind the 'Black Panther' say he excelled at a time when soccer science was limited.

“Eusebio had no preparation, no gyms, no academies. He became what he did through sheer talent,” said Hilario Conceicao, former coach to Ronaldo and Figo.

His 1960s team mate Jose Augusto told o Jogo: “Footballs are all high-tech and vulcanised today, much faster, lighter and with unpredictable trajectories. With today's balls Eusebio would have scored double the goals.”

Despite their differences the two players have a lot in common - devastating shooting, power and pace and the ability to use both feet.

“Technically the two are not actually that distant. Both are incredible hard-workers who loved to practice and improved from a very young age,” said Jose Pereira, the head of Portugal's coach association.

“Ronaldo and Eusebio thrived thanks to a tremendous sense of opportunity up front and explosive runs,” Pereira said. “Both are football giants.”

That said, with Ronaldo still performing, a major international trophy or a player of the tournament award in Brazil next year would perhaps tilt the balance in his favour for good. – Reuters

Balotelli say sorry to fans

Mario Balotelli has apologised to the match officials and his AC Milan team-mates after being sent off against Napoli, but claims he was provoked into his actions.




Mario Balotelli received a three-match ban for insulting the referee as he was sent off at the end of Milan's 2-1 loss to Napoli. Balotelli missed a penalty for the first time in his career and scored in that match, but the official's refusal to punish Napoli for knocking him around throughout the game pushed him over the edge. And after his own manager said that he needs to stop acting like a child, Mario has decided to apologize. But not to everyone.


"I apologise to my team mates, who train hard every day. I also apologise to the referee," he said in an interview with Sky Sports Italia. "I reacted the wrong way to provocation.

"Mario has made a mistake," he added. "He has been provoked and made a mistake in reacting.

"If Mario makes a bad mistake, Mario should be punished...But against Napoli it was the same old story, the fouls against me didn't count for anything, I was the only one who could do anything wrong."

Manchester United finally won Liverpool one goal

In the Capital One Cup game Manchester United vs. Liverpool, Manchester United finally won one goal,Javier Hernandez scored with Rooney's corner kick.And Suarez, his first play this season is not satisfying.

            


Let's see the live of the key goal.

47 mins: Rodgers looks sick as a parrot on the touchline, his team are trailing having been on top and, as I said at half-time, in a game very low on chances

GOAL! Simple ball in from the left, Luis Enrique loses his man, and there's Hernandez with an acrobatic lepaing finish with the side of the foot. Great movement from Hernandez, came back from the line, and lost his marker. Man United 1 Liverpool 0 (Hernandez 46)

46 mins: United have an early corner.... and it's Rooney.

20.46 Eyes down for the second half, then.

HALF TIME Quite an encouraging half for Liverpool. Sturridge and Suarez did a lot of pretty good things that very nearly came off but then didn't quite at the last moment. United a bit flat. Rooney quiet, he had to come back a long way to get any of the ball. Kagawa looked short of confidence, as did one or two other of the fringe figures. I cannot say I remember either goalie having to make as save. We have had no racist incidents, no biting, no refusals to shake hands. Only a couple of bookings. It's all been quiet. Liverpool's 3-5-2 formation having the upper hand over United's 4-4-2.

David Moyes has admitted he might have to "take a few more blows" in his first season as Manchester United manager, warning there will be more difficult times to come as he tries to make the handover from Sir Alex Ferguson as seamless as possible.

Moyes, who missed out on several targets during the transfer window, said he was "shocked" by the 4-1 thrashing against Manchester City on Sunday, and indicated for the first time that the team he inherited from Ferguson had obvious deficiencies. The former Everton manager has previously talked about a side who are capable of winning the Premier League and Champions League, but now appears to have his own doubts about their quality. "I think a lot of people thought Manchester United [winning the title] last season, that it was probably the form of the other teams that was poor," he said.

Neymar's first goal in La Liga

In the game for Barcelona at Real Sociedad, Neymar got his first La Liga goal.Barcelona strolled to a 4-1 win that failed to their almost effortless dominance justice over a much-changed and lackluster Real Sociedad. The victory extends their perfect start to the season in La Liga to six matches, but they could surely scarcely believe just how easy it was for them on Tuesday at the Camp Nou.



It wasn’t dramatic, difficult, or even that memorable. And if it wasn’t for Claudio Bravo tying himself up on Alexei Sanchez’s cross, Neymar would still be scoreless in La Liga. But goals come in all different forms, and while he’s sure to score many beautiful goals throughout his Barcelona career, this was not one of them. This would have been put home by almost any attacker in the world.

Regardless, Neymar is now on the scoresheet in the Primera Division, with the final movement on today’s score beginning to the right of goal, outside Real Sociedad’s penalty area. Sanchez moves wide of La Real left back Alberto De La Bella, avoids helping left winger Antoine Griexmann, and cuts a ball into the six-yard box. Bravo appears to misread the pass, doesn’t come out to cut it off, allowing Neymar to finish into an empty net for the fifth minute goal.

Neymar had his first goal while Messi was unhappy when he was benched at the 80th mins. Messi said no one will be happy when he was involuntary to be replaced.While the coach said he is just want to protect Messi.

Manchester City 4-1 Manchester United

Without Persie, Manchester United lost a perfect striker,and can't make threat to City. Even in second half,Rooney scored one,that's can't bring the United to be a strong lion.

              



Sir Alex Ferguson lost his first derby game away to Manchester City too, in September 1989, by a humiliating 5-1 scoreline that later prompted him to make a rare confession of vulnerability. He said that afterwards he went home to bed and felt, as he walked the streets of Manchester over the next few days, “like a criminal”.

Nasri was the player in the corresponding fixture last season who had faced accusations of cowardice after ducking out of the way of Robin van Persie's late, decisive free-kick. Now he could be seen shadow-boxing by the corner flag. City had outfought their opponents in every department, from A to Z, and the bruises will take a long time to heal for the team beaten to the point of humiliation.

Manuel Pellegrini's side won with such remarkable, carefree splendour it felt as though the team in United's colours had no actual plan or idea about what this fixture is supposed to signify.

David Moyes now knows how the pre-knighted Alex Ferguson felt on that day at Maine Road, almost a quarter of a century ago, when United's manager of the time talked about going home and lying on his bed with a pillow over his head. At the height of this ordeal, Moyes's name reverberated around the stadium. Unfortunately for him, it was the home crowd serenading his appointment as Ferguson's successor.

Ronaldo hat-trick against Galatasaray

In the game against Galatasaray yesterday, Ronaldo had a nice hat-trick in the second half.That' Ronaldo's 21th hat in real madrid in 204 games.


         

Within moments of replacing opening goalscorer Isco, Bale delivered a free-kick that eventually landed at the feet of Ronaldo, who tapped in for 4-0.

Ronaldo is now the fourth-highest scorer in Champions League history with 53 goals.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has scored 56, Lionel Messi has 59, while Raul has 71.

It was cheap Ronaldo's soccer jerseys second Champions League hat-trick after his treble against Ajax Amsterdam last year.

Less than four months after a last-minute Arjen Robben goal won last season's trophy for replica Bayern Munich soccer jerseys the Bundesliga giants were quick off the mark in their defence of the title.

David Alaba's powerful early free kick sent Bayern on their way to a 3-0 victory over CSKA Moscow in Pep Guardiola's first European tie since taking charge. Dutchman Robben was on target again with Mario Mandzukic scoring Bayern's other goal.

Ronaldo's former Manchester United team shirts mate Wayne Rooney also scored twice in the English champions' 4-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen as the Old Trafford club began their first European venture without Alex Ferguson at the helm since 1985.

Marouane Fellaini joined Manchester United

In the last day of the transfer deadline, Manchester United signed Marouane Fellaini from Everton, a excellent midfielder. Marouane Fellaini says he "jumped at the chance" to work with David Moyes again after sealing his switch from Everton to Manchester United. 

The 25-year-old midfielder had been linked with a move to Old Trafford throughout the summer and was the subject of a failed £36million joint-bid with left-back Leighton Baines.

Having been given permission by Belgium to delay joining up with the national squad ahead of their World Cup qualifier with Scotland, Fellaini handed in a transfer request late on Monday in a bid to push through the move.

With Fellaini handing in an official transfer request at Everton's training ground early on Monday evening three hours before the window closed and United deciding to haggle over Herrera's €36m release clause despite the Spanish club making it clear they would not sell for less, the strategy adopted by Moyes and Woodward came down to a frantic effort to strengthen in the closing hours of the window.

Fellaini's transfer request means he will miss out on any bonus payments due from the deal, but his patience cracked late Monday afternoon, when he made clear he didn't want to play for the club any more.

That persuaded Everton to find a replacement, and they did that when Wigan chief Dave Whelan accepted an offer for McCarthy at 10.50pm, when he backed down and agreed to a £12m deal spread over four years.

Manchester United’s midfielder is weaker than other strong team in EPL, so Moyes is try to bring a stong midfielder this summer, now Fellaini joined, it will surely improve Manchester United’s strength.

Ozil joined Arsenal

Because of the come of Ancelotti and Bale, Ozil had to leave Real Madrid this summer. After the sign with Arsenal,Ozil said the reason he leaves Real Madrid is he can’t be fully trust in Real Madrid. Now he want to help Arsenal to win a title.

Ozil joins Arsenal

Arsène Wenger has given Arsenal's supporters the statement signing they have craved with the €50m (£42.5m) purchase of the attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid, a move that has nearly trebled the club's previous highest outlay on a player. The manager had expressed the confidence that Arsenal's increased financial firepower would permit him to complete a deal for one of the biggest names on the market. At 10.30pm on Monday he could celebrate a coup.
Ozil said: ‘I look forward to my future with Arsenal. In talking with Arsene Wenger, I immediately sensed what had been missing, the wholehearted trust in me. I will pay back the club and the fans in each game. Now I want to help the club to finally win a title.’

His capture means the club have kept their promise of landing a high-profile signing after failed attempts with Luis Suarez, Wayne Rooney, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain.

Wenger said: ‘He is a great player, with proven quality at both club and international level. We have watched and admired him for some time as he has all the attributes I look for in an Arsenal player.
Will Ozil help Arsenal to win a title? I hope so.

Bayern Munich's new away kit

Bayern Munich just announced their new away kit.

And now, to break in the new kit, here's Manuel Neuer, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Philipp Lahm and Thomas Muller arm wrestling in it (yes, caps too)...

Chelsea signed Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o

Chelsea officially announced the Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o sign with a zero transfer fee, the club's official website is also expressed the delight to introduce the former Anzhi player's. It is reported that Eto'o has an one-year contract with Chelsea, the annual salary is about 700 pounds.




The 32-year-old striker, who played under José Mourinho at Internazionale, told the Chelsea website: "I am very happy to be here but also anxious because I want to get playing as soon as possible."It wasn't a hard decision. I saw the qualities Chelsea have and I was very happy with José Mourinho before, so when the opportunity came, I was very happy to take it."

'I am very happy to be here but also anxious because I want to get playing as soon as possible.'Jose Mourinho moved for Eto'o after two Chelsea bids for Manchester United's Wayne Rooney were rejected and the Premier League champions declared he was not for sale.

Mourinho is continuing to add to his galaxy of stars though as talks continued on Thursday with Porto's Christian Atsu.

Eto'o is the second player to sign from Anzhi in a matter of days, after Willian's capture was announced on Sunday and completed on Wednesday.

Messi and Neymar

Although Barca win, but reporters made a lot of questions questioned Barca tactics. Martino from the conference outset constantly explain the problems, first starting lineup: "Actually I want to Iniesta starting today, and now nothing to say."

Reporters asked whether Messi’s injury is heal in the end, and invited Martino talk about Messi’s penalty throw penalty, Martino replied: "Messi and I talked before the game, I judge that he can participate in the competition."

Reporters have proposed a very sharp question: "How do you think the cooperation between Messi and Neymar ?" Martino replied: "I think Messi and Neymar each individually performed very well, but in the same venue lack of cooperation. When they cooperated with each other, the quality of the offensive decline. This situation happens with the players’ injuries, they lack training together. Neymar's performance seems good, but I felt he was tired. "

For the match referee, Martino said: "Actually, I have nothing to say on the referee,someone has been suggested that the penalty does not exist, but I do not think. Obviously, Atletico players fouled inside the penalty area. Valdes had a outstanding performance today, rescue our teams three times and our defense has a lot of content needs to be corrected.

As for first title since being Barcelona coach, Martino said: "As Barca coach 40 days, the players training hard, which is what they deserve. Season has just begun, to win at least not a bad thing, we need to progress, really need to progress. "

Bale's transfer fee may not exceed C Ronaldo

No matter how optimistic some Spanish media think Bale will join Real Madrid, Tottenham aspects are always clung "at least temporarily do not sell the first card" attitude anyway. Transfer window will be closed on September 2, can Real Madrid buy Bale in the end or not ? It’s hard to say. However, the "Aspen" today said that even if Bale joined Real Madrid, he probably will not be worth more than C Ronaldo, the transaction price is expected to be 87 million euros.

"Aspen"’s message does not come from Real Madrid interior, nor is Tottenham side, but quoted saying of the Sky Italia, one of four largest Spanish sports media. It’s rare to quoted foreign media’s saying but considered from a different angle, "Aspen" thinks the news from Italian counterparts have high credibility.

Related reports have mentioned is that no matter how long Tottenham want to resist, it is just a matter of time for Bale to move to Real Madrid , because the player himself have reached an agreement with Real Madrid, and in order to seek transfer, he has begun to strike training. Now Tottenham has no better choice except sell Bale, and in the next few days, the two clubs will conduct intensive negotiations, the final sale price is expected to be 87 million euros.

About the question of how much Bale is worth in the end, Netease sports’s reporters Uris in Spain has recently also inquire about the insider, his argument is: "It is said that Bell will be worth more than C Ronaldo, but as far as I know Bale’s transfer fee does not exceed the C Ronaldo’s 96 million. "in addition Uris also said that Real Madrid are not hot-headed to purchase Bale.
