Atletico takes the first step towards Bayern

They say that history owes an Atletico and possibly started to collect from the Calderon won a great match thanks to a work of art Saul and could sentence with another of Torres . But Bayern, which claimed two penalties, and crashed to Oblak and sticks, will make him suffer at the Allianz Arena.

If against Barca, Atletico went outside to wait, crouching in their field, as if he feared Messi and company, against Bayern did the opposite. Simeone began biting and high pressure. Without any fear, inconveniencing ballplayers Guardiola and looking approach Neuer domains.

First they did shyly through Saul Torres, but its intensity was growing as the minutes passed until the eleventh scored off an attack on a goal that certainly is the best of many have seen in this edition of the Champions .

Saul, that pearl that is polishing Simeone with care, dressed Messi. And if a year ago Boateng , this time in the tier Calderon was the victim of Argentina, this time the dam ilicitano turned Alaba , which Pep he had chosen as left central holder sacrificing his darling Kimmich.

Well, after leaving behind Bernat, Thiago and mower Xabi Alonso, Saul seasick Austrian to hip movement to later, when it was almost on his knees , place with a magical touch of his prodigious left foot the ball into the far corner without Neuer could stretch enough to prevent the goal.

A goal that led to ecstasy to Calderon pinching by the wonder he had just witnessed , and against Bayern, led by King Arthur, quickly rebelled. In two minutes, the Chilean first forced Gimenez send a corner a lost ball at the small area that he stalked and then Oblak to clear such a hurry a center, watching the action several times, not really know if he touched first the ball or head of Vidal

But the English Clattenburg did not want problems in the area as demonstrated soon after the 27 minutes when Augusto hit a ball with his arm shot Lahm . Play, play, he came to speak English despite the German ...

Were the worst minutes of Atletico, however, he was about to score the second on the stroke of half an hour. In a counterattack house brand, Griezmann stood alone before Neuer who deflected a corner with a poisoned leg kick.

It was the last before the break, for Saul , he again, empowered Koke at the near post and his shot, very well run, ended up sending Javi Martinez a corner.

But upon returning from the locker room, everything changed. The Bayern forgot the doubts of the first half and lunged for the tie. Based to move the ball quickly and exploit the wings was crushing Atletico defending himself like a scalded cat in your area . Although from outside it came the best chance of Guardiola.

A Alaba still smarting from the genius of Saul pulled a shot from 40 meters hit the crossbar . It was the prelude to an attack on Bayern waterspout, he tried by land, sea and air with extreme overflows, arrivals of Vidal and the titanic struggle of Lewandowski with Gimenez .

But there was no way. So Pep was the first to move the bench and ushered the veteran Ribéry by Coman. Experience and quality for speed and daring. Shortly thereafter, Thomas Muller replaced Thiago. Touch and pasted. And a tactical substitution. Bayern went from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1. All heavy artillery in search of a goal ... that did not come despite occasions (Douglas 70 'and Vidal 73'), but yes that nearly put Atletico.

It would have been the sentence, but the right post spat an exquisite shot with the outside Torres that, again, he made ​​a suit to an overflowing Alaba . Koke, who became the clearance, could not beat Neuer, who stopped his innocent shot back.

Until the end he continued the siege of Bayern, but the score did not move . The eliminitoria be decided in Munich after the first assault between stylists and fajadores who won the latter with ... a goal of fine stylist, that of Saul , who dressed Messi.

The Catalan club has a right of first refusal with Atletico de Madrid during the first part the first leg of this semifinal will be looked to shake off three players Germans and launch a cross shot to beat Neuer.

Cristiano Ronaldo would have sought a second medical opinion

Cristiano Ronaldo remains the main protagonist of today's Real Madrid after last Tuesday could not play against Manchester City in the first leg of the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League by some physical discomfort.

Meanwhile, Zinedine Zidane did not guarantee a news conference that the striker is fit for the second leg on Wednesday 4 was played at the Santiago Bernabeu although it hoped to soon have it.

Cristiano Ronaldo assume a serious risk of injury more important if you dispute the second leg of the semifinals of the Champions League against Manchester City, which will be held next Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The program 'The first touch' of Onda Cero, reports that the Portuguese suffered a tear in the femoral biceps of his right leg , an injury that has prevented him from playing the last two games of the team, against the Lightning and Manchester City.

So today is very difficult for the Portuguese player to act before the City: but if you decide to risk, draining options help Madrid to reach the final, exposed to suffer more breakage.

In such a case, and if Madrid qualifies for the Champions League final (May 28 in Milan), Christian could miss the party , but would have 24 days margin to recover from the semifinal (May 4) and the great Final (May 28).

"

"I ponder why I feel so bad, actually I do everything I can to recover and compete as soon as possible, the more I can do, but I realize then that what gives me most pain is to see how my opponents Fernando Echavarri and Tara Pacheco are fighting with your attorney like a scalded cat so we can not run a selection want to go to the Olympics but without running a selection against us. in my opinion, shows little courage. "

"So we put in the press understand that the 49er will have a new selection, which makes it harder yet you can understand how we, we could not run a selection because I suffered an injury caused by a collision of another boat, which was disqualified in the World Cup, we do not have a similar resolution. "

"From there it was impossible to continue the World and selection breakage twin and breakage of internal lateral ligament in his left knee, but I fought to recover as fast as possible and have fought against the lawyer Fernando and Tara to have another opportunity, which appears not coming, "says the Olympic champion.

People that if today Fernando and Tara decide that they want to run a selection and the best man win, he would have That's right , and in fact is what the federation has requested, but not want, on the contrary do their best to block the situation with your lawyer.

In Italy it did not match but coach Luis Enrique has very good references footballer.

His countryman Aldair, with past in Rome, he fell in love with his performance in Italy: "With the age that had impressed her performance in the Olympic" he said.

THE PHRASE IBRAHIMOVIC

"THEY SAID IT WAS TOO SHORT"
PSG stand in both French explosiveness in short distances, as their constant activity in the field. One of the highlights of Maqruinhos are your physical condition, despite being not to be a particularly high plant. "As a child I was told that would not become a footballer because it was too short," he admitted the Brazilian in an interview with 'Le Journal de Dimanche'.

The Brazilian center now ensures that one of their motivations when he leaves the field is to show that it not creyereon them wrong.

HIS GREAT FRIEND
Marquinhos's best friend in the PSG is Lucas Moura. Brazilian striker became one of the biggest bets of PSG, who paid about 40 million for it, but has not met expectations. Although he was considered the great promise of Brazilian football with Neymar, its performance is far from Barca striker's contribution.

Marquinhos is at home in PSG with a wardrobe full of Brazilians and Thiago Silva, Lucas, David Luiz or Maxwell.La samba is very much on the French side.

Brasileiro tem que ter samba no pé, né? O vídeo é antigo, mas mesmo aqui na França meu samba está em dia ! ‪#‎TBT‬ ‪#‎samba‬ ‪#‎MarquinhosM5‬ ... Chaque brésilien doit avoir la samba dans le sang, n'est-ce pas?! La vidéo n'est pas d'aujourd'hui, mais même ici en France je ne perds pas le rythme !! #TBT #samba #MarquinhosM5

THE ROLE OF MAXWELL
Marquinhos has been saddled with the label of versatile player, although he insists again and again that is much more comfortable as a central that as a side. The presence of David Luiz and Thiago Silva has prevented him to have continuity in the center of defense and often has had to adjust to a position where you do not feel particularly comfortable.

The player claimed by the Barcelona admits having had long conversations with Maxwell to improve performance at right back. Exazulgrana remains an important piece for Blanc on the left side but his future in the French club is uncertain.

BRAZILIAN CHARACTER
It is one of the players locker room jokers PSG. Lucas Moura form with the most comical costume French couple set. Both staged a walk funny interview speaking French field after winning the last league. David Luiz is one of the most outgoing players in the squad PSG.

IN THE ORBIT OF MANCHESTER UNITED
The English club is one of the most interest shown, next to Barcelona, ​​for taking the central PSG. He is a player who likes a lot to Van Gaal, but Marquinhos is more in favor of going to Barcelona to try the English adventure.

Marquinhos summit

Begin serious market movements and the main objective is to attach to a host. Marquinhos has become a priority, but the whole operation depends on whether the PSG opens to negotiate the sale

The club has already put its machinery in motion to strengthen the squad ahead of next season. Despite the crisis last game, technicians believe that this team just needs some tweaking, but of high quality and absolute priority is the defense and, in particular, the central position. After many months of analysis, the club has set itself the goal of trying the signing of Marquinhos (PSG) and a few days ago a summit was held in Barcelona with agents footballer to give officers the Barca interest and explore ways of possible agreement.

Trip to Barcelona. The Barcelona maintains good contacts with the representative of the player, Giuliano Bertolucci, by previous negotiations, but this time was also his brother, Luan Aoas, who lives with Marquinhos in Paris. The two have maintained contacts with some clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City, although the clear priority if player leaves the PSG- is to play at Barca. The two sides discussed the situation and it appears that the contract would not be obstacle footballer despite having a high profile in the PSG, but leaving the Parisian club seems more complicated. And there, the player should have a key to dress, once and for all, the paper Barca shirt.

Bertolucci has already warned a few weeks ago that Marquinhos was not happy at PSG because it has minutes. Laurent Blanc has relegated him to the bench and has only finished finding accommodation as a side in the last games of the season. Bertolucci was very blunt in his time. "If the situation does not change Marquinhos, he asked to leave".

And that is the key to the whole thing. Barca have already informed their immediate environment they want to sign him and are willing to pay an amount exceeding 30 million euros, but it should be the player himself who find a friendly PSG output. The French club has made it clear that Marquinhos is not for sale because it is a future player and the club maintains very good relations with the French bank. If the player put an its part, the negotiations could be unblocked successfully. PSG also believes it would be very bad strategy to strengthen a direct rival to the Champions League, but still you have no choice.

The club is aware that Marquinhos has important economic and sports offers from the Premier League. Chelsea is the team that is most pressing to their environment, but Marquinhos did not want to take a step without knowing the intentions of the club. You now know that you want and the player is very clear that is your best choice. She loves the Spanish league and the city of Barcelona. In addition, you understand that it could have many more minutes than in the PSG given its versatility. You can play as left-center, but also as a side and the club will reshape their defensive plot this summer.

From now on, they could intensify negotiations to reach an agreement at the end of the season. Neither side is in a hurry and expect to bring the issue with utmost secrecy. They know that the noise will not help this operation, which is now entirely in the hands of PSG. In any case, the club want to know as soon as possible if his move is possible. If the PSG closes in-band and the subject is locked, the club will speed alternative, but the market for quality central anda scarce and competition is very tough.

James Rodriguez no longer stand to Real Madrid

James Rodriguez did not play a single minute in the match against Manchester City

James Rodriguez, Colombian striker of Real Madrid, is more outside than inside the Real Madrid. The latest decision of Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid coach, not to give a single minute in the match against Manchester City , despite not having Cristiano Ronaldo and lose Benzema injury , has been the lace has ended the patience of James Rodriguez.

James Rodriguez does not count Zinedine Zidane and his agent Jorge Mendes and her team are looking for . Zidane still choosing Lucas Vázquez and Isco as alternatives ahead of Colombia.

A demonstration that relations between Zidane and James Rodriguez are not good and that Real Madrid will soon seek a solution.

Their numbers in the Champions League are just one example of how little account James Rodriguez for Zidane.

While last season played 9 games, eight of the owner, and played 705 minutes, scoring one goal; in today he has only played four games, three as a starter, playing 242 minutes, during which he has also scored a goal.

UNBEARABLE
On the other hand, in parallel, the Colombian means 'The two banks' reported this week that "Jorge Mendes, the representative of James Rodriguez is tired of receiving calls from Jose Angel Sanchez, right hand of Florentino Perez, complaining of constant indiscipline player ... was the first to realize that the Colombian was opened record for their discipline, which in the dressing room is no longer so dear, that his statements after the stellar performance he did against Ecuador were not well received and in August, when begins the 2016-2017 season, will move to Madrid ".

A sign that the future of James Rodriguez does not pass through Madrid.

Hawks and Raptors exploit the advantage of field and again lead the series

Toronto Raptors and Hawks in Atlanta did assert the advantage in their respective qualifying playoff first round of the Eastern Conference and again 3-2 lead them to better seven at the end of the day of the NBA.

DeRozan, who scored 10 of 22 shots, including 2 of 4 triples, and 12 of 13 from the line staff, established his best mark as a professional in the playoffs, and was key in the victory of the Raptors.

The basis Kyle Lowry had 14 points, five assists and four rebounds that left him as the second top scorer and Lithuanian center Jonas Valančiūnas reached 11 points, five rebounds and two blocks.

Along with DeRozan, the surprise winner and sixth man was the Congolese Raptors power forward Bismack Biyombo, 23, who won the game inside a double-double with 10 points monumental (3-5, 0-0, 4-4) --12 defensivos-- 16 rebounds and an assist.

The poor performance of veteran power forward Luis Scola in series so far cost him the title and not go out in fifth game.

Its position was occupied by the power forward Patrick Patterson who contributed seven points and two rebounds, but could not be highlighted on the individual game of the Raptors factor.

The Pacers had the opportunity to have forced extra time, but Solomon Hill three times in the last action of the party, reviewed by the referees, was when the time was over.

This time, the Raptors were able to survive the 39 points scored by star forward Pacers Paul George , but only got two in the fourth quarter when the team began the comeback Toronto and eight rebounds.

The guard George Hill reached 15 points and power forward rookie Myles Turner had 14 and eight rebounds, which also could not avoid the defeat of the Pacers, who came to have up to 17 points of advantage over the first three quarters of the game, played at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

The attack, which led the bodyguard Ken Bazemore, great defense and allowed the Hawks 110-83 win easily by the Celtics of Boston in the fifth game of the series.

The victory allowed the Hawks regain the winning track after two consecutive defeats and after reaching the sixth game, to be played on Thursday at the TD Garden in Boston with a 3-2 lead, and if necessary a seventh on Saturday They return to Philips Arena in Atlanta.

Bazemore scored 16 points, including four three - pointers from nine attempts, and next to baseman Jeff Teague also achieved the same production were part of a list of five players with double digits, led by power forward reserve Mike Scott , who came as surprise winner and sixth man to contribute 17 goals in their 2 minutes played.

While the Dominican center Al Hoford still did not have his best touch and contributed six points by missing the first eight shots he made a field goal in 24 minutes played.

Horford scored 2 of 11 shots, missed two-point attempts and scored 2-2 from the line staff, plus eight rebounds --six defensivos--, four assists, recovered two fumbles, lost one and put a plug.

The key to the game was given in the absence of 6:35 minutes of the second quarter when the Celtics were up on the scoreboard with partial 19-29, and Bazemore scored three consecutive three-pointers that changed the history of the game.

From the triple Bazemore, Hawks dominated the Celtics with a 74-33 streak getting them up early in the fourth period of the deciding set 93-62, which made people forget the bad start of team match Atlanta.

Forward Evan Turner with 15 points led the Celtics attack they suffered in the final stretch of the game's low base and leading scorer star, Isaiah Thomas, who suffered a slight sprain in his left ankle.

Thomas, who in the previous two games had achieved an average of 35 points before the injury had only seven failed after 9 of 12 shots from the field.

Celtics preparers consider that Thomas could be ready to play the next game, but would have to wait to see how it evolves in the coming hours.

Barca buries its European options on a disastrous quarter final

In a grotesque end room, in which only scored five points, the Barcelona has run out of options the win in Krasnodar , where he succumbed 81-67 Lokomotiv Kuban front, with what you can not play the final phase of the Euroleague.

The match Xavi Pascual is a summary of your season. His basketball moves in a continuous slide, capable of the best and the worst. Today started badly (50-39 at halftime), fought back and took the lead in the third quarter (58-62), but skirted the ridiculous in about last ten minutes in which conceded a partial 23-5 loss forcefully by 81-67 in the fifth game of the series.

The departure of the Russians was meteoric. All players saw the big basket and scoring from any position. Highlighting Randolph, Voronov and Broeckhoff, and the three scored 20 of the 26 points of his team in the first ten minutes.

With 80 percent of success in field goals and 75 triples, the club resisted as could rush a team featuring a state of grace and assigned Perperoglou, the lifeline of Barca when things got complicated.

The maximum advantage of Lokomotiv in the first quarter totaled eight points (24-16) and cut Barca thanks to the success of Abrines and five points down (26-21) went at the end of the first ten minutes.

The beginning of the second quarter was promising for Xavi Pascual. He entered the rotation pivots Dorsey. He accumulated a partial 0-7 Barca to stand for the first time ahead in the score (26-28), but in the blink of an eye, everything fell apart.

Unsportsmanlike fouls Dorsey, a pair of fouls in attack, very fast entry into bonus and every encouragement for local from the free throw that allowed the Lokomotiv not only resist but get a 9-0 and open gap marker (35-28).

It was four minutes without scoring Barca and that was too much. Without Randolph, but with Delaney cash and triple Broeckhkoff, the Russians escaped on the scoreboard without either Xavi Pascual and his team could stop the bleeding and rest Lokomotiv income was already eleven points (50-39) , the maximum until then.

Barca knew they had to improve the defense and managed to stop the Russians. In addition, it began to work outside game, with a very active Navarro.

A partial put Barca 0-9 in readiness (52-48), although the successes of Broeckhoff gave respite to his team without Delaney nor Randolph, its main stars, shine.

Tomic dominated under the basket and two shots ahead Navarro put his team. The maximum advantage reached the 57-62 and Barca had three attacks to open space against a Lokomotiv was very touched.

In the fourth quarter, he appeared Singleton. Barca could not stop his outside game and the Russians a 59-64 passed to a 73-64, 14-0 partial Singleton with 11 points.

Barca were five minutes without scoring - a basket two and three Libres and never met again shots. They lost by 81-67 and will see the final stage of Berlin from home after losing the last two games, one of them in the Palau.

"If I had not doped I would not have won anything," Di Luca's confession that hurts cycling

Danilo Di Luca, Italian exciclista perpetuity sanctioned for doping, has presented an autobiographical book where it has its relationship with doping and where it leaves shocking phrases, harshly criticizing and denouncing the system that governs the sport. And even he says he has no regrets of doping on several occasions.

Danilo Di Luca exposes the story of his cycling career marked by doping in an autobiographical book entitled "Beasts of victory." Di Luca tested positive for EPO Giro 2013, and for being a repeat offender was banned for life, that is, without competing again.

The fact is that the runner nicknamed 'The Killer', was already stripped of second place in the Giro 2009 and previously won the Italian race in 2007, although in this case was not caught in any doping control.

Confessions of Di Luca:

Doping improves performance between 7% and 12%. If I had not doped I would have never won. I do not regret anything. I lied, I betrayed, I've done what I had to do to get the first

When managers say 'I know nothing', they lie. Doping leads to lie, we lie to women, family, journalists, the masseurs, the mechanics, even to colleagues. Lying is as natural as breathing. The truth is that all dope and that all would do so again. We are animals, we are beasts. We are not heroes, we are crazy unchained

I tell myself that if I had a good doctor would have known before, or if it had been a good team, I would have protected

I never could have not doparme

In cycling everyone knows the truth, but the truth is unacceptable

I do not regret anything I've done my job as all you athletes. Biking now is no longer the sport I loved. I'm tired of loneliness, of lies, of hiding and not of cycling, because the bike has given me everything in life, it is the only thing that has given me everything
