The Man Who Made The Terrifying Cristiano Ronaldo Bust Has Struck Again

Remember the ugly Cristiano Ronaldo bust that everyone made fun of? Well, the guy who made it has not been deterred from sculpting things, and has made another bust, this one of Ronaldo's Real Madrid teammate Gareth Bale.

Andre Onana Was The Hero Of The Europa League Final

We don't want to talk about the game. The game was boring. Manchester United won a totally predictable 2-0 affair and stifled the hell out of a fun, young Ajax team.

Fortunately, Ajax goalkeeper ANdre Onana and some BT Sport producers were on hand to inject some mirth into the procedings.

How Zinedine Zidane Has Turned Cristiano Ronaldo Into Football's Most Lethal Weapon

You could say it’s been an abnormal season for Cristiano Ronaldo. We’ve all gotten used to the Portuguese star playing almost every single competitive match and reaching outrageous totals of 50 or 60 goals a campaign. 

This season, however, Ronaldo has scored 37 goals across all competitions, and he’s appeared in 43 of Real Madrid’s 57 official games — a total of only 75%. This is a significant change from last season when he scored a total of 51 goals and played 48 of Real’s 52 matches — a total of 92%. 

Too Little, Too Late From Atletico Puts Real Madrid In The Champions League Final

The Champions League final is set. Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 4-2 on aggregate. We all knew Real madrid would win. We pretended that Atletico Madrid had a chance, that they could really do this, but we were fooling ourselves.

Real Madrid is Atleti's big, mean older brother who's smart enough to give the little guy a little hope before ripping his heart out.

This time, Real allowed two early goals to bring the aggregate score to 3-2, and then Karim Benzema danced down the end line past three Atletico Madrid defenders and Isco finished the play, ending Atleti's hopes.

Real Madrid Net Crucial Away Goal, Ruin All The Fun

Well, for the neutral fans out there it was fun while it lasted. After a high-octane first 30 minutes that included five yellow cards and two goals from Atleti, Karim Benzema and Real Madrid decided they had enough of delaying their spot in the UCL Final. Benzema did some magical dribbling (what are you doing Godin, Savic and Giménez?) on the endline that ended in a crucial away goal by Isco.

Atletico Net 2 Goals In 4 Minutes, Get To A TV Now

With a spot in the Champions League final on the line you knew Atletico Madrid would not go silently into the night. A chaotic first five minutes included two big saves by Keylor Navas and Jan Oblak, and a yellow card on Stegan Savic. Being down three goals to none, many questioned if Atletico had the firepower to crack Real Madrid’s defense. But early on the Vicente Calderon stadium has ignited Diego Simeone’s team to an early two goal lead.

Dani Alves And Juventus Are In The Champions League Final

Kylian Mbappe became the youngest player to score in the Champions League semifinals, and that's cool, but it was the olds who stole the show on Tuesday.

Dani Alves (34), Andrea Barzagli (36), Gianluigi Buffon (39), Mario Mandzukic (30), Giorgio Chiellini (32), Leonardo Bonucci (30), Sami Khedira (30), Mehdi Benatia (30) and Claudio Marchisio (31) all featured for Juventus, and they did the damn thing. Juventus' 2-1 victory (4-1 on aggregate) was decisive and ruthless and efficient.
