Prior to Tuesday, Ángel Di María had played 741 matches for club and country, receiving all of four straight red cards and 80 yellow cards. No one would ever say Di María is a hothead or has a habit of committing bad fouls — even Lionel Messi has more yellow cards in his career. So it makes the racist comment CBS announcer Jim Beglin said after the Di María red card all the more baffling.
Temporada 2018-2019: Batalla campal, remontadas épicas, consorcio de buen fútbol y dominio inglés. Liverpool derrotó 2-0 al Tottenham y se llevó el título de títulos de la UEFA Champions League. Por su parte, Chelsea vapuleó 4-1 al Arsenal y consiguió la Europa League.

Raúl Jiménez has been out of action since suffering a fractured skull in a win over Arsenal in November. After he was unconscious for 10 minutes, he was quickly rescued and attended by professionals.

MANCHESTER, England - It has certainly been a year of sporting contrasts for American businessman Joel Glazer.
In February, he was in celebratory mood, raising the Vince Lombardi trophy as his NFL team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the Super Bowl, led by veteran quarterback Tom Brady.
Three months later, Glazer's Premier League soccer team, Manchester United, had to call off their match against rivals Liverpool following violent protests against the American's ownership of the club.
If Mason Mount were American, we’d have elected him emperor of soccerdom already. Instead, he’s a British lad with a boring face who keeps doing astonishing things on the pitch that really deserve more credit. Mount’s brilliant assist sent Chelsea on its way to a 2-0 victory over Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
El título de la Premier League roza los dedos del Manchester City. Hoy los Cityzens, con un exquisito Sergio Agüero, necesitaron apenas 82 segundos para liquidar su duelo ante Crystal Palace y ahora solo necesitan dos puntos en los próximos cuatro encuentros para poder abrazarlo con confianza y destapar las botellas de champagne.
¡Ah! Y no es la única ruta: si Manchester United cae mañana ante Liverpool, el título será para Pep Guardiola y sus jugadores.
El abuso online hacia los futbolistas se salió de control. Por lo mismo, la Premier League y sus clubes, además de otros aliados alrededor del mundo, decidieron iniciar una protesta que busca acciones concretas que ayuden a prevenirlo y desterrarlo. ¿Su método? Un apagón por cuatro días a sus redes sociales, una de las principales fuentes de los ataques.
Varios equipos y futbolistas, de hecho, no están actualizando sus perfiles en Twitter, Facebook e Instagram desde el viernes 29 de abril y no volverán hacerlo hasta el lunes 3 de mayo.
