Following his brief cardio exercise when he came off the bench for the Clasico, Lionel Messi has marked his first start since injury with a lovely chipped finish.
After playing a neat one-two in the build up Messi is on hand to apply the finishing touch to double Barca’s lead over Roma.
Watch Messi impudent dink below.

Following Real Madrid’s humiliating 4-0 home loss to Barcelona over the weekend during which Rafa Benitez played an unusually attacking line up, Jamie Carragher has suggested that perhaps his former manager’s team selection is being influenced by the suits up stairs, the media or the fans.
Watch Carragher and Neville’s assessment of Benitez’ woes at Real Madrid below.

Benitez on the brink already?
Rafa Benitez has been given the dreaded vote of confidence by Real Madrid chief suit Florentino Perez following their humbling 4-0 El Clasico defeat at home. This should mean that Benitez will be out of the Bernabeu and back at Stamford Bridge in time for Christmas. Something that might have the Bernabeu crowd putting away their white hankies.
Fergie Time is back
It all got a bit 2012 during Manchester United’s visit to Vicarage Road. Having only moments earlier been pegged back by Watford’s Troy Deeney to make it 1-1, United went up the other end and scored a late winner, which was all too much for Ander Herrera to take.
Jurgen > Brendan
In the 6 weeks Jurgen Klopp has been at Anfield he has already racked up more points against top four opposition than his predecessor Brendan Rodgers could manage in three years. Klopp’s Liverpool managed a stunning 4-1 victory over Manchester City at the Eithad and one Liverpool fan camped in the home end could hold it in no more after Skrtel’s thumping drive.
Goal of the weekend Season?
Yes there was the likes of Luis Suarez impudently curling home with the outside of his boot in the Clasico, but if you’ve not seen it, Josh Chamberlain’s brilliant 50-yard goal for Berkhamsted is a must watch.
Final Word
Our final word goes to Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy after he equalled Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of scoring in 10 consecutive Premier League games.
With that menacing face bearing down on you it’s no surprise Premier League defenders across the land are running scared.
Portland took a commanding 3-1 lead from their 1st leg MLS semi-final playoff vs FC Dallas on Sunday night.
Liam Ridgewell, yes the one who use to play for West Brom amongst others, opened the scoring before Dairon Asprilla doubled Portland’s lead in spectacular fashion.
It’s been far too long since we have seen an ‘Asprilla’ score a stunning goal. What his effort above
Ex-Spurs man Jermaine Jenas was reminiscing this morning about the time Arsene Wenger almost signed him as a replacement for the departing Patrick Viera. Yes, he actually said that.
After the deal apparently fell through due to Newcastle’s price tag being a little to steep and Wenger not being keen on “boozing English players,” Jenas eventually made his way to way to Arsenal’s North London rivals Spurs.
Jenas was then handed an Arsenal shirt with his name on the back which he promptly used to wipe his nose on. Watch below.

“He’s made a right hash of it!”
Sensational stuff here from Brisbane Roar keeper Jamie Young vs Melbourne City. Seemingly a little bit too anxious to start a counter attack, Young slips over and manages to release the ball through his legs gifting it to Melbourne City who followed up the howler by firing the a shot wide.
Watch the comical footage of Young nutmegging himself below.
Neymar: “Hey ref, would you like my smelly, sweaty shirt?”
REF: “Neymar, I’m not doing your washing. I’m not falling for that one again.”
After Brazil’s 3-0 World Cup qualifier win over Peru, Neymar’s confidence takes a hit as he discovers not even the ref wants his shirt.
So, taking a leak during while fully kitted up, mid-game is in danger of becoming a thing.
A couple of weeks back, we saw a Gremio’s Douglas relieve himself on the Maracana pitch surrounded by a team huddle and now we have another weak bladder from Belgian.
Philippe Janssens, playing for ameteur side Eendracht Aalst decided he could wait no longer and trotted off behind the opposition goal to have a little tinkle which was in view of the cameras.
The distracting tactic paid off however, as Eendracht Aalst scored their third goal in Janssens absence, winning the game 3-1 vs Izegem.
Watch Janssens marking his territory below.
