Portuguese powerhouse Benfica had a chance against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinals, going into the second leg down only 1-0 on aggregate. They had even more of a chance after Mexican striker Raul Jimenez put the hosts up 1-0 to tie the contest on aggregate.
Holy Chit!!! Raul Jimenez gives Benfica the lead! Wow! Golazo! #PanchoVillasArmy
It's sometimes difficult to tell what Silvio Berlusconi wants with AC Milan.
It seems anytime the Rossoneri gain a foothold, Berlusconi arrives right on time with a tiny rock hammer and chips it away. And thus, that familiar refrain has again been trundled out as Sinisa Mihajlovic found himself on the end of Berlusconi's perpetual restlessness.
A crunch meeting between French national team manager Didier Deschamps and the president of the French Federation, Noel Le Graet, has yielded the decision to omit striker Karim Benzema from selection for the French squad at Euro 2016.
Everyone thought Tuesday's Champions League match between Wolfsburg and Real Madrid was exciting: fans, journalists, players, etc. One man, though, stood above the rest in freaking out about the sheer excitement of Madrid's 3-0 victory that erased a 2-0 aggregate deficit and earned them a place in the semifinals: Zinedine Zidane.
Yes, that Zidane. The same Zidane that won everything there is to win in soccer. The same Zidane who could do things with a soccer ball we hadn't seen before and haven't seen since.
It isn't every day the phrase "Bulgarian puddle fight" appears on my google search history, but here we are.

Childhood friends Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez and Marco Fabian had a so-called Mexican Skype Duel, courtesy of the Bundesliga's official YouTube account.

Celtic and Rangers – the so-called Old Firm – have produced some of the most notable – and notorious – derby matches in the history of world football.
The rivalry has as its underpinnings a complex cocktail of social, political and, yes, religious and ethnic issues that divide supporters of the two Glasgow clubs, creating a tension that has led to fierce battles both on and off the pitch.
It has been a week and we miss Champions League very much. Thankfully, the second leg of the quarterfinals kicked off today with Real Madrid hosting Wolfsburg and PSG traveling to Manchester. With Real Madrid down, 2 - 0 to Wolfsburg, it was time for Cristiano Ronaldo. The superstar scored two goals in two minutes and completed his hat trick in the 77th minute to give Real Madrid the 3 - 2 lead on aggregate. Ronaldo scored in the 15th and 17th minutes in a stunning turn of events. Just like that, Madrid was tied with Wolfsburg and had all the momentum.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic just can't get enough of playing journalist.
The PSG striker interviewed himself on Instagram before the first leg of the Champions League tie between PSG and Manchester City, and he liked the idea so much he did it again this week.
