Athletico Madrid Win La Liga 2013-14

Finally a team other than Barcelona or Real Madrid has won the Spanish title. It has been almost a decade since another team has won. The credit should certainly go to Athletico Madrid Manager Diego Simeone who guided his team to the La Liga title after putting off Barcelona in the final game of the league. Barcelona needed to beat Athletico Madrid to snatch the league from Athletico Madrid's hand at the end of the season.

It was a tight title race this season for the Spanish League with the usual Barcelona and Real Madrid fighting out along with the ever growing Athletico Madrid side which has been really making big strides under
the management of Diego Simeone. Even after loosing their best player Radamel Falcao to Monaco they have managed to better their league position this season with Diego Costa being a relevation scoring goals for fun. He was under shadow of Radamel Falcao last season and after Falcao's departure to Monaco Costa has been exceptional. His goal scoring exploits have alerted top clubs with Chelsea being the front runners to sign him.

Bayern Munich thrash poor Barcelona 7-0 over two legs of Champions League Semifinals

After Bayern Munich had won the home leg 4-0 Barcelona had to score 4 goals without conceding a goal to have any chance to progress to the Finals of the Champions League.

Bayern Munish rested a few key players who had a booking and could have missed the finals if they were booked in the second leg. Barcelona had Lionel Messi on the bench and it looked like he might be injured.
It was going to be a uphill task for Barcelona to overturn the tie but they had hope as they have score 4 goals at home in more than 50 games over the last 3 years or so. But against a strong Bayern team who themselves had scored 5 or more goals in their last league game were favorites to go through

Hardworking Bayern Munich hammer Barcelona in Champions league Semi-final

If you did not see last nights match maybe because you live in Europe and live somewhere else where the match schedule for the Champions League Semifinal clash between  Bayern Munich and Barcelona is not time friendly as you need to get sleep to go for work the next morning then you will be in for a shock to hear that Bayern Munich thrashed Spanish runaway leaders Barcelona 4 to nothing.

Both teams are comfortably leading their respective leagues with margins in double figure for the second placed teams. So if you expected a epic Semifinal clash maybe you were disappointed to see a fully one sided clash where Barcelona did have 63 % of the possession but the German champions made light work of Barcelona and humiliated them by scoring 4 goals without a response from Barcelona even after have less than 40% possession in the match.
