Fernando Palomo sat down with our sports team to talk about 2015 UEFA Champions League and who he thinks could win it all in this exclusive interview. Palomo also talks about the soccer superstars of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Bayern Munich is in trouble. Or are they? The team suffered the loss of Arjen Robben to injury on Sunday and by all accounts the superstar will be out for several weeks. He may even miss Bayern's clash with Porto in the Champions League.
And now there are just eight. The quarterfinals for the Champions League are weeks away with the match ups being drawn on Friday morning Eastern Standard Time. Latin Post breaks down the power rankings for the top teams in the quarterfinals of Champions League.
Year in and year out the world expects a surprise. And yet every year the same teams continually make reappearances in the latter stages of the Champions League. But for once, the 2014-15 UCL is threatening to show a new level of excitement as the first host of matches have featured some tremendous shockers.
Real Madrid and Barcelona continued their winning ways in this tournament, the latter doing so at the expense of a suddenly mediocre Manchester City. However, there were some other puzzling situations that have left the second legs with tremendous amounts of tension. Here are some of the big shockers of the UCL round of 16's first legs.
The Champions League returns on Tuesday afternoon with the first two round of 16 matches. The competition is arguably one of the most hotly anticipated of the annual soccer season and this is the phase where things get most interesting.
But it has been a long time since we have seen teams play. In fact, the group round ended in December and teams have undoubtedly altered their styles and are in different form. So which teams are now the favorites to lift the European trophy based on current form?
Anytime that the idea of best player in the world is brought up the list starts and ends with two names - Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. When looking at 2014, picking the top player between Messi and Ronaldo seems like a futile and uninteresting task. So instead, Latin Post.com's David Salazar and Edwin Molina, as part of our Best of Soccer in 2014 feature series, are looking at players not named Ronaldo or Messi, who deserve some credit in 2014.
Everyone loves to honor the individuals. But ultimately, the collective may be even more important in some cases and nowhere is this more apparent than in soccer. As part of the Best of Soccer in 2014 feature series, writers David Salazar and Edwin Molina now highlight their team of year.
The Round of 16 in the Champions League is arguably one of the most entertaining in soccer. This year's Champions League Round of 16 draw took place on Monday and brought up about some unique matchups that feature a number of major winners and losers. Here is a look at those smiling and those crying after Monday's draw.
And now there are 16. The Champions League entered its most exciting phase and now all eyes will be on who gets to take on who in the knockout rounds. But most importantly, which teams have left us convinced of their contender status? Latin Post.com breaks down the power rankings of the UEFA Champions League's Round of 16
Manchester City, playing without Yaya Toure, Vincent Kompany and English Premier League (EPL) leading scorer Sergio Aguero, managed to defy the odds, defeating Series A club AS Roma to advance to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. Luis Suarez helped Barcelona beat PSG with an assist to Lionel Messi -- scoring his 75th career Champions League, three ahead of Cristiano Ronald on the all-time scorers list -- and scoring his first goal with the Catalan club since his transfer from Liverpool.
Manuel Neuer made headlines earlier this week when he landed a top three spot for the FIFA Ballon d'Or. While many expect Cristiano Ronaldo to lift the trophy in January, Neuer's arrival on the scene is already a huge triumph.
Poor Arjen Robben. The ageless Dutchman simply cannot catch a break.Robben was tipped by many to be among the top three to lift the Ballon d'Or in January, but when the final three were revealed on Monday he was not among them.
On Monday, FIFA finally announced the three finalists for the 2014 Ballon d'Or which will be handed out in January. Voting has already closed, so the winner has already been determined. But will Cristiano Ronaldo beat out Lionel Messi? Or will Manuel Neuer pull away with the trophy?
Goalkeepers rarely get major recognition in personal awards. They have arguably the most important position on the pitch, but get less chances to showcase their talent on truly elite teams.
This is quandary that faces Manuel Neuer in his Ballon d'Or bid. The German netminder plays for two teams that rarely give up chances, thus limiting his abilities to show off. He still makes splendid saves and won major tournaments in 2014.
But is this enough to win the coveted individual trophy?
After scoring a hat-trick to break Spain's La Liga all-time scoring record against Sevilla over the weekend, Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick on Wednesday against Cyrus champion APOEL FC on Tuesday to surpass Raul's all-time scorers record in UEFA Champions League history.
