Manchester City saved its season in five minutes, 36 seconds. And Andrés Cantor showed why he’s one of the best announcers in the world.
Just when it looked like the impossible might happen, that Liverpool might usurp Man City on the final day against all odds, Pep Guardiola’s men turned things around faster than you can say “what the hell just happened?!”
Atlas está en la final del Clausura 2022 y sueña con un histórico bicampeonato.
Los rojinegros eliminaron a Tigres, en una serie caótica y cuyo partido de revancha incluyó polémicas arbitrales, un nalgazo de André-Pierre Gignac a Hugo Nervo, la ilusión de una heroica remontada, un enorme error reglamentario y un desenlace digno de telenovela.
RB Leipzig won its first major trophy since the club was founded 13 years ago on Saturday after defeating SC Freiburg 1-1 (4-2 on penalties). For the second year in a row an American player wins the DFB-Pokal with Tyler Adams collecting his first major trophy. Gio Reyna and Dortmund won last year.
Saturday’s DFB-Pokal has two polar opposite clubs competing for their first triumph in the tournament. For Freiburg this was the club’s first trip to the DFB-Pokal final in 118 years of existence. This was Leipzig’s third trip in the club’s 13 years of existence.
American stars Catarina Macario and Lindsey Horan became the fourth and fifth USWNT players to win the UEFA Champions League as Lyon defeated the seemingly unstoppable Barcelona 3-1 on Saturday in Turin.

Después de recibir un puñetazo en el trasero de parte de la arquera del Pachuca, Esthefanny Barreras, Caro Jaramillo marcó un gol olímpico que guió la remontada de Chivas sobre Pachuca, en la primera final del Clausura 2022.
Hasta el minuto 55, las Tuzas aprovechaban la ventaja de la localía y vencían al Rebaño por 2-1 con goles de las históricas Viridiana Salazar y Mónica Ocampos. Sin embargo, fue ahí que los vientos cambiaron en favor de Chivas.
Catarina Macario made history on Saturday when she became the first American to score in a UEFA Champions League final. Macario and her club Lyon faced Spanish powerhouse and defending champions Barcelona in Turin, Italy, and had a sensational first half.

Despite all the hype, cup finals and semifinals tend to disappoint. Nerves take hold of the players, and the play on the pitch is dictated by a fear of losing rather than a desire to win. These matches become cagey affairs defined by midfield battles and long clearances, both caused by an aversion to conceding.
This week was different. The FA Cup final was an end-to-end affair, the notoriously-prudent EFL Championship playoff semifinals were both entertaining affairs and the Europa League final was an emotive footballing masterclass.
Atajar penales no es el fuerte de Guillermo Ochoa y esto volvió a quedar en evidencia en el 1-1 del América y el Pachuca en el duelo de ida de las semifinales del Clausura 2022. Cara a cara ante Nico Ibáñez, Memo se tiró al lado contrario del balón y nada pudo hacer para evitar una igualdad que se antoja valiosísima para los Tuzos.
Lo más increíble de todo es que desda la banca del América le habían pedido al portero que se tirara a su derecha, donde fue el balón, pero él prefirió desoír la sugerencia.
Julián Quiñones está en llamas y esta noche lideró el carnaval que Atlas se armó en el Estadio Jalisco después de golear a Tigres por 3-0.
