«Ασφαιροι» σε Παρίσι και Τορίνο, «σώθηκε» το Μάντσεστερ

F930CB52FE46B3972EB0973845138A78

Θέαμα και πάθος υπήρχε. Ελειψε όμως το γκολ, από την αναμέτρηση Παρί Σεν Ζερμέν-Ρεαλ Μαδρίτης, την σπουδαιότερη της 3ης αγωνιστικής του Champions League. Το αποτέλεσμα αυτό δείχνει βολικό και για τις δύο ομάδες, που βρίσκονται μαζί στην κορυφή του 3ου ομίλου και ουσιαστικά εξασφάλισαν την πρόκριση, μετά την ήττα της Σαχτάρ από τη Μάλμε στη Σουηδία, 1-0 με τον… συνήθη ύποπτο, Μάρκους Ρόζενμπεργκ.

Σπουδαία νίκη για τη Γαλατασαράι που επικράτησε 2-1 με ανατροπή της Μπενφίκα και μπήκε δυνατά στο παιχνίδι της πρόκρισης, ενώ ο Αντονί Μαρσιάλ ήταν πρωταγωνιστής στο ΤΣΣΚΑ Μόσχας-Μάντσεστερ Γιουνάιτεντ 1-1. Αρχικά «χάρισε» ένα ανόητο πέναλτι χάρη στο οποίο οι γηπεδούχοι προηγήθηκαν (απέκρουσε ο Ντε Χέα, αλλά σκόραρε ο Ντουμπιά στην επαναφορά), αλλά στη συνέχεια ισοφάρισε με έξοχη κεφαλιά-ψαράκι.

Η Μάντσεστερ Σίτι λυτρώθηκε ξανά στο τέλος και με «χρυσό» σκόρερ τον Κέβιν ντε Μπράιν στο πρώτο λεπτό των καθυστερήσεων, νίκησε τη Σεβίλη στο «Ετιχαντ». Ξανά με 2-1, ξανά με ανατροπή, ξανά στο τελευταίο λεπτό, όπως ακριβώς πριν από 20 ημέρες στο Μενχενγκλάντμπαχ. Ηταν η πρώτη φορά που η Σεβίλη γνωρίζει την ήττα σε αγώνα του Champions League, ενώ προηγήθηκε.

Real Madrid: Cristiano Ronaldo would be a ‘bargain’ for Manchester United or PSG says ex-president

MADRID, SPAIN - OCTOBER 05:  Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid celebrates after scoring his team's 5th and his third goal against Club Athletic during the La Liga match between Real Madrid CF and Athletic Club at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on October 5, 2014 in Madrid, Spain.

Cristiano Ronaldo was linked with a move to Manchester United during the summer transfer window

Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have both been put on notice in their bids to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, with former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon saying that whatever they spend to tempt the player away from Spain will by paid back to them in the marketing revenue he generates. However, Calderon admitted he wanted the Portuguese star to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu as he is “priceless” and only Lionel Messi is at his level.

Calderon resigned as president of Spanish giants in January 2009. However, speaking with IBTimes UK earlier this year, he claimed he was the one who ironed out the £80m ($123m) agreement that saw Ronaldo move from Old Trafford to the Bernabeu.

Ronaldo has since been significant not just Los Blancos’ trophies, including the 2013/14 Champions League, but also for the sponsors. Some would suggest that a big-money move for a player the wrong side of 30 would be an error.

But during an interview with Le Parisien, Calderon said that paying €100m for the star would actually be a bargain.

“Cristiano Ronaldo is priceless,” he said. “Because what he gives to the team, in terms of goals and mentality, he has no equivalent except Messi. If PSG or Manchester United sign Ronaldo, they will have no problem recovering the purchase price, however high, thanks to marketing benefits. If the Real sells him for €100m, they will without a doubt be richer, but they will never be able to buy a player like him again.”

Ronaldo has been linked with both PSG and United in recent months despite the player himself suggesting that his future lies at the Bernabeu. Calderon wants to see him hanging his boots with Los Blancos too, but admits his departure in the summer is a possibility.

“I have heard rumours that there’s strong PSG interest [in Ronaldo],” he said. “As the former president of Real Madrid, I hope that it never happens. But as someone who knows football, I think it could be possible.

“For now, Cristiano hasn’t expressed [a desire to leave]. I think he will take a decision at the end of the season, depending on the titles won and the feelings he has. In the meantime, the mystery will continue.”

Russia takes Syria lead after Assad visit

untitled

Please upgrade your Flash Plugin Russia has seized the initiative over Syria after a diplomatic flurry that saw it host President Bashar al-Assad on his first foreign visit since 2011 and schedule talks involving the war’s key players.

Assad met Vladimir Putin and thanked his Russian counterpart for launching air strikes against his opponents in Syria, with both leaders also agreeing during talks late on Tuesday that political steps must follow military operations.

Moscow announced afterwards that Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov would meet on Friday with US Secretary of State John Kerry and their Turkish and Saudi counterparts to discuss Syria.

The talks between Putin and Assad focused mainly on military developments, with the Russian president pledging ongoing support but also urging a political solution to end the war, the Kremlin said.

Assad, who last visited Russia in 2008, had told Putin that the three-week-old Russian air war – which has prompted an outcry in the West – had helped to stop the spread of ‘terrorism’ in his country.

The strikes are reported to have killed 370 people so far, a third of them civilians.Russia says the campaign targets the extremist Islamic State group and others it describes as ‘terrorists’.

But rebels and the West accuse Moscow of seeking to prop up Assad and of striking moderate and Islamist opposition forces rather than just jihadists.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Wednesday at least 12 people including medical staff were killed when Russian warplanes struck a field hospital in the northwestern province of Idlib.

The clinic was run by the Syrian-American Medical Society, whose staff confirmed Tuesday’s strikes had ‘severely damaged’ the facility.Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Assad’s ‘working visit’ was at the invitation of the Kremlin.

The Syrian presidency said on Wednesday that Assad had returned to Damascus.Russia’s foreign and defence ministers also participated in a meeting between the two leaders.

Putin said Russia was ready to do all it could to help secure peace in Syria, which has been ravaged by the conflict that began with anti-government protests in March 2011.More than 250,000 people have been killed and millions forced from their homes, sparking a mass migration of around four million refugees.

‘We are ready to make our contribution not only during armed hostilities in the fight against terrorism but also during a political process,’ Putin said.Assad also stressed the importance of ‘further political steps’ and praised Russia for its military and political efforts, the Kremlin said.

‘I need to say that the political steps which Russia has taken since the start of the crisis prevented the events in Syria from developing along a more tragic scenario,’ he said.After the talks, Russia said Lavrov would meet with his US, Saudi and Turkish counterparts to discuss Syria in Vienna on Friday.

Putin discussed his talks with Assad in a string of phone conversations with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Saudi King Salman, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Jordan’s King Abdullah.Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United States are all key backers of the Syrian opposition and have criticised Moscow’s military intervention in support of Assad’s regime.

French President Francois Hollande warned Russia against strengthening the position of Assad, ‘who is the problem, and cannot therefore be the solution’.
