Remind us why Nuri Sahin is moving to Real Madrid again? From the looks of it, his appetite for sabotaging press conferences/throwing beer on the coach’s head should take him to Corinthians – or at least at an event Robinho will be attending! At least we can still see Borussia manager Juergen Klopp (on the extreme left) in this photo. His counterpart – Josef Schneck looks like Davvy Jones being consumed by a bottle of Mahou!
So it looks like Busquets the Butcher (everyone gets a name OK?!!) has been cleared to face Man United in next weekend’s epic encounter at Wembley. Despite Madrid’s insistence that Busquets had called Marcelo a “mono, mono” (which is a racist slur that means “monkey” – que unclassy!), Busquets was spared in UEFA’s disciplinary proceedings. Well, YOU can be the judge in this one.
Meanwhile, Senor Pep has said that it would be “very hard” for his team to beat their opponents because “Manchester United are extraordinarily strong, very similar to Real Madrid,” he said. “They are a hard-working side and it’s very hard to hurt them.”
