Bayern Munich a step closer to appearing in the UEFA Champions League final

Mario Gomez struck a 90th-minute winner to move Bayern Munich a step closer to appearing in the UEFA Champions League final in its own stadium with a narrow 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in the Allianz Arena. Franck Ribery gave Bayern the lead in the 17th minute of the semi-final first leg, but Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil levelled early in the second half.

Bayern dominated for large parts of the game and found a deserved winner in the last minute through the prolific Gomez, giving it a slender advantage to take to Spain next week. Madrid had the better of the first 10 minutes, but all it could produce was a shot from Karim Benzema which Manuel Neuer tipped over the crossbar after Bastian Schweinsteiger uncharacteristically gave away possession in midfield.

Bayern responded and took the game to its visitor. Ribery felt he should have had a penalty when he went to ground under a challenge from Sergio Ramos inside the area, but referee Howard Webb waved play on. But the France winger was soon celebrating as he rifled Bayern in front with a shot from 10 yards, which only just avoided Luiz Gustavo in an offside position. The host was looking dangerous every time it came forward, and those attacks were becoming increasingly frequent, with Arjen Robben marauding down the right and Ribery causing confusion in the Madrid defence down the Bayern left.

But it failed to make its pressure count with Gomez's shot turned behind by Iker Casillas just before the break. And Madrid levelled on the counter-attack eight minutes after the break. Cristiano Ronaldo looked to have wasted the chance when his tame effort, one-on-one with the keeper, was saved by Neuer. But Benzema picked up the rebound and took the ball back into the area, playing it across goal to Ronaldo, whose clever pull-back gave Ozil a tap-in from a yard out.

Madrid enjoyed its best spell of the game with Bayern and many of the 66,000 fans in the Allianz Arena becoming increasingly anxious. The Bavarian side regrouped and soon got back on top of the game, though. Gomez spurned an excellent chance to put it back in front in the 71st minute when he lifted the ball over the bar from close range after being teed up unwittingly by Sergio Ramos.

Gomez headed straight at Casillas as the host continued to be frustrated in its attempts to find another goal. Two hopeful penalty claims were waved away by referee Webb as Bayern kept on pressing and the pressure finally paid off in the 90th minute. Philipp Lahm got to the byline down the right and fired a ball in which Gomez, sliding in, bundled over the line at the near post.

Arsenal Vs. Chelsea, Poor Match ever played in premier league

Arsenal and Chelsea were supposed to play an entertaining clash in their fight for Champions League places, but they instead decided to play one of the most dire matches of the Premier League season. Neither team was at their best, and it seemed very obvious that Chelsea were looking ahead to Barcelona and that Arsenal's best midfielders were missing. The biggest events were blocked shots and bad misses in a poor 0-0 draw.

The first half was mostly controlled by Chelsea, though Arsenal had the only two clear-cut chances of the period. Robin van Persie failed to make the most of a great free kick by Theo Walcott in the 13th minute, missing badly at the far post. Arsenal's other good opportunity of the half also came on a free kick, with Laurent Koscielny hitting a header off the crossbar.

Unfortunately for Arsenal, the biggest event of this game was probably an injury. Early in the second half, Theo Walcott pulled up with a hamstring problem. He attempted to continue, but pulled up lame again and appeared to make his injury worse in the process. He was replaced by Gervinho in the 60th minute, and Arsenal could be without him for a couple of games.

Chelsea did have one good attack late in the game, created by Juan Mata who came on as a substitute, but some great defending by Koscielny prevented it from ever being dangerous. In the 87th minute, the ball fell to Daniel Sturridge in the penalty area, but Koscielny got across for a great block. Arsenal are now six points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur for third, but Spurs have two games in hand. Spurs and Newcastle have one game in hand on Chelsea, and both now lead them by one point.

Fc Bayern Munich make a clear win 2-1 against Real Madrid

Bayern Munich kept up their impeccable record of having never lost at home to Real Madrid as they win with 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final at the Allianz Arena. The hosts opened the scoring through Franck Ribery in the 17th minute but Los Blancos showed great resilience and pulled back a vital away goal through Mesut Ozil early in the second half.

The atmosphere inside the stadium was pulsating and the early moments were certainly befitting of the occasion. Los Blancos' keep-ball tactics were clearly grating on the crowd and they were further incensed when Ribery saw his claim for a penalty turned down in the 15th minute. Frustration then turned to elation just two minutes later as the Bavarians took the lead. Toni Kroos' corner was not dealt with by Sergio Ramos and the ball fell to Ribery, who rifled a low shot past Iker Casillas from 12 yards.

Bayern remained solid and were getting a lot of joy in the wide areas but Jose Mourinho's men regained their composure to end the half on a brighter note. The hosts could not regain the ball and were being pinned back in their own final third. In their haste to find an equaliser, Madrid almost went two behind after a swift counterattack from the hosts. Gomez burst in on the left-hand side of the area but his shot was kept out by a diving Casillas who got two strong hands to it and turned the ball behind.

Los Blancos began the second half in a similar vein to the first and drew level in the 53rd minute. The Bayern defence was caught ball-watching as Benzema's mishit committed Neuer to the far post. Cristiano Ronaldo just reached the ball before it went out of play and cut it back into the danger area, leaving Ozil with a simple tap-in.

However, that almost paid dividends for Bayern when Kroos whipped in a fantastic free kick from wide on the left after 71 minutes. Ramos again failed to clear the danger and was fortunate that Gomez could not keep his instinctive shot below the bar, blazing over from just outside the six-yard box.

The visitors became more conservative as they sought to hold on to the draw but Bayern continued to pile on the pressure and reaped the rewards in the 90th minute. After missing two headers earlier in the game, Gomez remained positive and was on hand to slide the ball into the back of the net after some superb play on the wing by Philipp Lahm, who created the space for a tantalising cross.

The result means that Bayern take a slim advantage into the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on April 25, while Madrid slide to their first Champions League loss of the season.

Real Madrid will have to sweat to win La Liga

After the victory against Zaragoza, the Azulgrana players agree: the La Liga title can be won and they will fight until the end to win it . Víctor Valdés, who saved a penalty, thanked the fans for their support. He also said that he’s always felt loved by Barça fans.

Three vital points won at La Romareda and two more games to go this week in La Liga. Before hosting Getafe at the Camp Nou this Tuesday, the Barça players analysed today’s victory over Zaragoza.

Thiago also talked about the condition of the pitch. However, the handicap wasn’t enough to stop Barça from winning on week 32 of the La Liga, which also happens to be the ninth consecutive victory for Barça in the competition.

Finally, the La Masia graduate sent a clear message to the current league leaders: “Real Madrid will have to sweat if they want the league title.”

Lionel Messi the best player of the world

Barcelona’s Lionel Messi reached another milestone in his amazing career on Saturday when he became the first player to score 60 goals in a season in European top-flight soccer in almost 40 years.

The Argentine World Player of the Year netted twice in a 4-1 victory at Real Zaragoza to notch up 38 La Liga goals in the campaign and his 60th in all competitions. Gerd Mueller was the last player to achieve the feat on the way to scoring 67 goals for Bayern Munich in the 1972-73 season and Messi has at least 10 more matches in which to break the German’s record.

Messi put Barca 2-1 ahead with a powerful strike into the roof of the net shortly before halftime and also netted from the penalty spot in the closing stages at the Romareda. Still only 24, he is already Barca’s leading scorer in official games with 240 goals, beating Cesar Rodriguez’s 60-year-old record of 232 last monthn when he also became the first player to score five in a Champions League match.

Messi netted his first goal for the Catalan club on May 1, 2005 aged 17 years, 10 months and seven days in a La Liga game against Albacete at the Nou Camp after coming through the youth system with contemporaries Cesc Fabregas and Gerard Pique. This season, as well as his La Liga tally, Messi has 14 goals in the Champions League, two in the King’s Cup, three in the Spanish Super Cup, one in the European Super Cup and has also scored two at the Club World Cup.

He has 11 more goals than Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 37 in La Liga, eight in the Champions League, three in the King’s Cup and one in the Spanish Super Cup.

A very solid performance against AC Milan at the Camp Nou by Barcelona

Barcelona are through to yet another UEFA Champions League semifinal after a very solid performance against AC Milan at the Camp Nou. They were given two penalty kicks, but Milan did not look particularly competent going forward, and there's no reason to discredit their performance. Barcelona were the much better side on the night, and go through with a deserved win by a 3-1 margin.

The first spot kick was given for a clear-cut foul inside the box by Luca Antonini on Lionel Messi. The Blaugranas passed up a couple of shooting opportunities and probably should have scored from open play, but were bailed out by Antonini's foul. Messi stepped up to the penalty spot and converted to give his side the lead.

Barcelona attempted to kill off the game and sit on the ball for an extended period of time, but would be forced to become an ambitious side again in the 32nd minute, when Antonio Nocerino struck for Milan to equalize on the night and put Milan ahead on away goals. Javier Mascherano was responsible for the goal, letting Zlatan Ibrahimović beat him badly, then backing up before an Ibrahimović pass to Nocerino to keep the goal-scorer onside.

The second penalty came in the 41st minute, and unlike the first, was a controversial one. Alessandro Nesta grabbed a fistful of Sergio Busquets' jersey just before a corner kick and the Barcelona midfiedler went down. The referee gave a penalty, and Milan were furious. Though Nesta certainly committed a foul, worse contact before free kicks goes uncalled in almost every game, and Carles Puyol certainly pushed Nesta before he pulled down Busquets. The penalty was given nonetheless, and Messi stepped up to convert his competition-leading 14th Champions League goal.

Even with the two penalties conceded, Milan had a good chance to go through going into halftime. Because of the 0-0 draw at the San Siro, Milan would have gone through with any scoring draw. They couldn't manage it, though, and allowed Barcelona to score again in the 53rd minute. After a shot by Messi was blocked, Andrés Iniesta pounced and put in the rebound to make it 3-1.

At that point, the tie was essentially over. Barcelona didn't allow Milan to fire their way back into it at all; the Rossoneri had just three attempts on goal in the entire game. While the refereeing was very questionable independent of the penalties -- Milan was given seven bookings to Barcelona's two and 19 fouls to Barcelona's nine -- Milan had nothing going forward and made silly mistakes at the back.

Chelsea’s late attempt to qualify for the Champions League

Chelsea’s late attempt to qualify for the Champions League was boosted by a 4-2 win at Aston Villa in the English Premier League on Saturday.

Villa recovered from 2-0 down to 2-2 with 10 minutes remaining but Branislav Ivanovic headed in his second goal of the game and Fernando Torres struck late on his first league goal in six months to give fifth-place Chelsea increased hope of finishing in the top four. Daniel Sturridge put Chelsea ahead in the ninth minute from a rebound after Torres’ close-range effort was blocked by defender Stephen Warnock. Ivanovic doubled Chelsea’s lead in the 51st before James Collins and Eric Lichaj scored for Villa.

Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov watched from the stands, a day after it was announced he has acute leukemia. The Bulgaria international will begin treatment in a London hospital on Monday. Petrov was visibly emotional as he waved from the stands to the fans giving him a standing ovation. It was Chelsea’s sixth win in eight games under interim coach Roberto Di Matteo, although fourth-place Tottenham can restore its lead over its London rival to five points if it beats Swansea on Sunday.
