AC Milan playmaker, Andrea Pirlo, has played down the links that have said he is about to join Carlo Ancelotti in moving to Chelsea. Pirlo was said to be upset at the way that Ancelotti left the Italian giants and was rumoured to have already negotiated a deal that would take him to West London. [...]

Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez, insists that Argentine midfielder, Javier Mascherano, is not for sale at any cost. Mascherano was being touted for a bigger move to a Spanish football club such as Barcelona but with Liverpool looking to build their squad this summer, Benitez is quite right to brush off any queries for his services.

Barcelona won their third European Cup last night after they beat Manchester United 2-0 in Rome. It was a thoroughly efficient and dominant display and United had no answer to Barcelona’s superiority.

Barcelona will play Manchester United in the final of this season’s Champions League after a dramatic late goal from Andres Iniesta saw them through their tie with Chelsea. Chelsea had led at Stamford Bridge for virtually the whole game before Barca struck with the last kick of the game to break the heart of every [...]

I thought that making it to the Champions League final was supposed to be a good thing, but after watching Chelsea and Barcelona take turns in giving it away like a hot potato, I’m starting to wonder.
