Let Us Not Forget The Real Hero Of Manchester United’s Comeback Win Over PSG: Fred

Manchester United completed a stunning comeback to defeat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 on Wednesday in Paris, turning around a dour first-leg defeat to advance on away goals, 3-3 on aggregate. It was an unforgettable match that came down to the final minute. But there was an forgettable hero: Fred.

Pepe Makes Edin Dzeko Collapse By Screaming 'F*** YOU' In His Face

We got 10 years of Pepe at Real Madrid, and if time weren’t such a cruel mistress, we could’ve been blessed with 10 more.

The Great Real Madrid Crisis Of 2019: 5 Bold Moves To Get Back To Winning Everything All The Time

Real Madrid stayed at the top for 1,012 days.
