It is a scene we have gotten used to in recent years: Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper, captain, and spiritual leader, Iker Casillas yelling while lifting trophy after trophy.

It is hard to recall a weekend as decisive as this in football.

The Portuguese gaffer holds the record for most Champions League semifinal appearances (eight), but also the record for the most uncharitable in defeat. Mourinho is a bad loser, to say the least. So, it was quite refreshing to hear him say something pleasant about Atletico [...]

On Friday July 19, 2013, Vilanova stepped down as manager, so he could continue his treatment for cancer. On Friday April 25, 2014, he succumbed to the ailment.

As the rest of the football world speculated over whether Brendan Rodgers could deliver a top-four finish at Anfield, Nigeria's Victor Moses was in no doubt that the Reds would be aiming higher, much higher.
