6ADC95A6661AC324A187909C21586EF2

Η Νάπολι άλωσε το Βόλφσμπουργκ επικρατώντας της ομώνυμης ομάδας με 4-1 στο πρώτο μεταξύ τους ματς στη Γερμανία και πλέον μόνο με θαύμα θα αποκλειστεί από τα ημιτελικά του Europa League.

Μεγάλη νίκη, 2-1 με ανατροπή για την Σεβίλη επί της Ζενίτ Αγίας Πετρούπολης στην Ισπανία, με τη ρεβάνς της Ρωσίας να αποκτά μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον.

Προβάδισμα και για τη Φιορεντίνα που στο 92′ έκανε το 1-1 μέσα στο Κίεβο επί της Ντιναμό και πήρε το πάνω χέρι εν όψει της ρεβάνς στην Ιταλία, ενώ στο 0-0 έμειναν Μπριζ και Ντνίπρο, αφήνοντας ανοιχτούς λογαριασμούς για τον επαναληπτικό στην Ουκρανία.

Ange Postecoglou defends A-League salary cap after Perth Glory breach

5998564-3x2-340x227

Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou says Football Federation Australia (FFA) have done the right thing by sticking firm to their hard-line salary cap stance.

Perth Glory were booted out of this season’s A-League finals and fined $269,000 after the club finally accepted its guilt over salary cap breaches.

Some critics have called for the salary cap to be scrapped in the wake of the drama.

But Postecoglou says irrespective of plans for the cap, current rules must be enforced to their full extent.

“Whatever rules are in place need to be protected and honoured,” Postecoglou said.

“It’s not just about the integrity of the competition this year; it’s about the integrity of the competition moving forward.

“You just have to ask Western Sydney and Brisbane Roar how hard it is to hold onto players once you have had success.

“Besart Berisha was running around in a Victory shirt on Wednesday night because Brisbane couldn’t fit him in the salary cap.

“Whether there is movement down the track (in regards to the salary cap), that’s a separate discussion.

“But whatever those rules are now, it’s very important that we are vigilant that we make sure everyone is compliant with them.”

The Glory were found guilty of exceeding this season’s salary cap by more than $400,000.

Perth threatened to take FFA to court in a bid to overturn the heavy punishment, but the club finally accepted its fate on Thursday night.

Earlier that day, Perth chief executive Jason Brewer apologised for his role in the bitter saga and resigned.

Glory will be relegated to seventh spot at the end of the home-and-away season, meaning the seventh-placed Roar will now earn a spot in the six-team finals.

FFA chief executive David Gallop said he felt sorry for Glory coach Kenny Lowe and the club’s players.

Postecoglou shared those views, revealing he had even sent Lowe a text on Wednesday night to see how he was holding up.

“The don’t teach you these things in coaching courses,” Postecoglou said.

“He’s going through a tough time but he’s done a good job regardless.

“They have to get through this and make sure they build a bigger and stronger club.”

UEFA Champions League quarter-final facts

2234953_w2

UEFA.com brings you the key numbers from this week’s first legs, including FC Barcelona’s winning run and an unwanted landmark for FC Bayern München.

FC Barcelona’s victory at Paris Saint-Germain was their seventh in a row in the UEFA Champions League, three short of the competition record for successive wins held jointly by FC Bayern München and Real Madrid CF.

The record for consecutive triumphs in a single season, however, is held by Barcelona themselves – nine in 2002/03. No other club has managed more than Barça’s current run of seven, which began on matchday three with a 3-1 home victory against AFC Ajax, in one campaign.

• The first of Luis Suárez’s two goals at the Parc des Princes was the 400th scored by Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. Their grand total of 401 is surpassed only by Real Madrid, who have 436.

FC Porto’s opener in their 3-1 home win against Bayern – a penalty from Ricardo Quaresma – was the 200th goal conceded in the competition by the German club. Only Madrid (228) and Barcelona (201) have let in more.

• The goalless draw between Club Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid was a rarity for the latter. It was only the sixth 0-0 scoreline in their 209 UEFA Champions League fixtures and their first in 78 games – since facing Olympiacos FC in Piraeus on matchday four of the 2007/08 season.

The stalemate at the Vicente Calderón ended Madrid’s run of five successive away wins in the competition – two short of the record – and also Atlético’s perfect UEFA Champions League home form in 2014/15.

• The race is on to see whether Madrid’s Iker Casillas or Barcelona’s Xavi Hernández can become the first person to reach 150 UEFA Champions League appearances – perhaps this season – as both players took their tallies to a record-extending 147, Casillas completing the full 90 minutes against Atlético and Xavi coming off the bench in Paris.

• Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi remain locked together at the top of the all-time leading scorer rankings with 75 goals apiece after neither managed to find the net. It was the first matchday of 2014/15 on which both failed to score.

Indeed, Messi has yet to register in the knockout phase as both he and Ronaldo remain on eight goals for this term’s competition, one behind eliminated leading marksman Luiz Adriano of FC Shakhtar Donetsk. The last player other than Messi or Ronaldo to top the season’s goal charts was AC Milan’s Kaká in 2006/07.

• Madrid’s Toni Kroos made his 50th appearance in the competition in the 0-0 draw at Atlético, his ninth outing for the Spanish club adding to the 41 he made for Bayern.

• Bayern’s match at Porto was their 27th in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals – one more than Manchester United FC, with whom they previously shared the record.

• The all-Madrid tie is the 23rd to be played between two clubs from the same nation in the UEFA Champions League knockout phase, finals included. It is the seventh tie involving two teams from Spain. Only England, with nine all-Premier League ties, has more.

Panathinaikos open Black Cats talks

1920207

Panathinkaikos are understood to have opened talks with Sunderland over the possibility of signing Charis Mavrias on a permanent deal.

 Mavrias joined the north-east outfit from the Greek club in 2013 but, after struggling to impose himself at the Stadium of Light, was loaned back to Panathinaikos in January.

The 21-year-old has only featured three times during his loan spell back at the club where it all started, but reports have suggested they are keen on making it permanent.

The Black Cats were happy to offload the Greece international in January to provide him with more regular first-team football, but he failed to agree terms with a number of Championship clubs.

The defender is heading towards the final 12 months of his contract with Sunderland and could be available on the cheap.
