Messi is great, but Xavi doesn't get the recognition he deserves for setting Messi up with all of those opportunities.

How about Zlatan?

Zlatan has been injured. He's expected to play tomorrow though. Even at his best, he cannot compare to Messi or Ronaldo.

Maicon's goal in the 75th minute is a thing of beauty.

Paul Scholes keeps Manchester United's title hopes alive with a header in the final minute of stoppage time.

93rd minute, actually...in soccer it's 1 minute ahead...for example, if you score within the first 60 seconds of the match, it's counted as the first minute. Scholes scored at 92:46, I believe.

Barcelona vs. Espanyol 0-0

Damn, was that game boring! What a waste of 2 hours! Real Madrid is now just 4 points back. With a win tomorrow, they will be only 1.

Real Madrid vs. Valencia 2-0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW19LD30wHY

Higuain should of scored 3 goals at the bare minimum. He blew many opportunities in the first half. Ronaldo scores on a cross from Marcelo in the second half to put the game away. Real Madrid is now 1 point behind Barcelona.

Fernando Torres to Miss Remainder of Premier League and Europa League Due to Knee Surgery

I wonder how this will affect his chances of playing in the World Cup. This could potentially be a giant blow to Spain!
