Fortune favors the bold. Just ask Raul Jimenez.
The mexican international striker's near-wonderstrike hit the post and was rebounded in by Nico Gaitan, sending Benfica through to the Champions league quarterfinals and knocking Zenit St. Petersburg out of the competition.
As the dust settled on a thoroughly entertaining 0-0 draw between Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, it was evident that the two most memorable moments of the match involved Munich’s young starlet Joshua Kimmich. A 21-year-old who was serving as a makeshift defender in the most important league match of the season, Kimmich hardly put a foot wrong.

Have you ever had one of those moments where completely unrelated things just start to intertwine with each other?
Sort of like when you're moving and you throw a bunch of cables into the same box and maybe once they had a purpose, but that purpose has been long forgotten by the inevitable decay of time and a serious lack of organizational skills.
UEFA Euro is coming soon, and all soccer fans can expect a great show when it arrives this summer.
Let’s look back and see how much things have changed and how much this tournament has grown up since it started.
It's called the triple punishment. When a goalkeeper or defender brings down an attacking player in the box, and is punished with a red card, a penalty, and a ban for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. It has been a subject of debate for a long time, with most thinking that the law is overly harsh especially in cases where the defending player is genuinely going for the ball.
It appears that the International Football Association Board, or IFAB, has listened and that is all about to change this summer.
Real Madrid absolutely demolished Celta Vigo on Saturday. Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals as Real cruised to a comfortable 7-1 victory. Celta Vigo visited the Santiago Bernabeu near the top of the La Liga table, in sixth place and trailing Villarreal by 11 points in the race for a coveted Champions League spot.
Cristiano Ronaldo broke a few records today and Spanish giants, Los Blancos crushed Celta de Vigo 7 - 1. With Real Madrid's hopes at a La Liga title quickly dwindling, Madrid fans were getting restless and booing the sloppy play of Ronaldo in the first half. When the 2nd half started, Ronaldo was a new man and scored 4 goals in 26 minutes. His second one was an absolute screamer from 30 yards out. Ronaldo moved into 2nd in the all time scoring chart for La Liga and also became the fastest player in Europe to score 350 goals for one club.
Aaron Ramsey featured in our "Top18 Boots You Can Buy Today" showed off again why he deserves to be highlighted for his great goals. In a match between two world reknown clubs, Ramsey opened the scoring with a nifty backheel. With instinct alone, he guided his teammate's cross into the back of the net. Arsenal would draw Tottenham 2-2, which featured another incredible goal from Harry Kane.
Harry Kane caught everyone off guard today with a wonderful goal from a near impossible angle. Hard work paid off for Tottenham as a battle in the corner allowed them to keep the play alive. When the ball emerged from the corner, Kane gathered it, took two dribbles towards the center of the pitch and with no one stepping to mark him, fired a powerful shot that beat Arsenal keeper, Petr Cech. Kane's goal in the 61st minute gave Tottenham the lead, only for them to lose it and draw 2-2 with Arsenal.
