Manchester City rally to deny Liverpool a EPL title

Manchester City being involved in all the competitions this season they had 3 games in hand over the other top teams going into the final few round of games for the EPL. They won the League cup and lost in the later stages of the FA cup. After loosing the big six pointer against Liverpool they had to win all the remaining games to win the league which looked unlikely as Liverpool were on a roll and had a good momentum and it was in Liverpools own hands.

But Liverpool did get outsmarted by "The Happy One" ie Jose Mourinho who was called "The Special One" before and since then Liverpool could not hold their nerves as they lost points until the final day of the league.
They were a team who lost their mojo as their captain Steven Gerrard's slip cost them the title.
They looked more vulnerable and the other teams got the confidence to hold Liverpool from playing their free flowing game that they did so well since the start of the year.

Bayern Munich win UEFA Super Cup 2013 by defeating Chelsea

Bayern Munich defeated Chelsea to take revenge for their defeat in the 2011-12 Champions League Final. This was a game which was more about the coaches going head to head rather than the teams with Pep Guardiola managing Bayern Munich and Jose Mourinho managing Chelsea. They resumed their rivalry from their days of being the managers of Sains top two rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid. The games versus the top two Spanish teams is known as the El Clasico and we did see a El-Clasico match when Bayern Munich and Chelsea played in the Super cup.

This was the first time that the Super Cup was played in Prague rather than the usual venue in Monaco. This was a one of the better Super Cups as two European Heavy weights were going each other. Usually one team is a considerably less popular team than the other as the second tier European competition ie Europa League is less glamourous and big teams dont take much interest in this competition as compared to the first tier Champions League.

Chelsea snatch the Europa League from Benifica after scoring at the death

Chelsea won the Europa League after Branislav Ivanovic scored in the 93rd minute of an absorbing tie.
Chelsea followed the Champions League final win last year with another European title last night.

Benifica started brightly and were just all over Chelsea and Chelsea were just about able to defend in the final third and keep the score to 0-0. Benifica were quick with their passing and movement and the Chelsea midfield were struggling to cope with the movement of the Benifica players.
Especially David Luiz was very poor as he could not keep hold of the ball and when ever Benifica had the ball he was like a headless chicken running on the pitch.
That put a lot pressure on Frank Lampard in the middle of the midfield. Benifica were brilliant in the passing but they were not shooting when they could have a sight at the goal but they played as if they wanted to pass the ball in the goal.
