Chicharito Hernandez Scores In His Champions League Debut For Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen have been accused of buying Chicharito Hernandez for marketing reasons. They have denied these claims, but if Chicharito keeps playing as well as he did against BATE in the Champions League, they won't care what people say about the reasons for his purchase.

Florenzi 65-Yard Wonder Goal Against Barcelona: One Of The Most Impressive You Will Ever See

Everyone, please take a moment to bask in the reflective glory of what Alessandro Florenzi has just done, because he has just done something incredible. 

On a field inhabited by both Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, Florenzi is the star of the day. Bow to him, and tramble at his might.

These Fans Watched Zlatan Grow Up. They Just Got To See What He Has Become.

You just knew Zlatan was going to do something special when it was announced he would play against his first professional club, Malmo FF, in the Champions League group stage. It was never going to be otherwise. 

Sure enough, with PSG up 1-0 thanks to a magic di Maria goal in the fourth minute, Zlatan delivered, with a tricky flick on to a cross that eventually found its way to Edinson Cavani's head, from where it found its way to the back of the net. 

Ronaldo's New Record Will Force The Best Out Of Messi

Before today, Cristiano Ronaldo had 77 goals in the Champions League. Lionel Messi had 77 goals in the Champions League.

Cristiano Ronaldo Has His Own Fragrance, Finally

Cristiano has released a fragrance. This is a surprising thing only because this is the first time Cristiano Ronaldo has released a fragrance. 

We were shocked when we found this out. We figured Cristiano releases fragrances with the same frequency that some of us release bowel movements after we have eaten Taco Bell.

Cristiano's fragrance is called "Legacy," and we have no idea why. We guess it's one of those fragrance names engineered by marketers that's meant to sound kind of cool but ultimately means nothing.
