Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Copa Del Rey Final, Barcelona 1 - 2 Real Madrid

Real Madrid clinched their maiden trophy under Carlo Ancelotti beating their bitter rivals Barcelona, 2 - 1 in the last night's triller of an encounter. Goals from Di Maria and Gareth Bale helped them secure their 19th Copa Del Rey title last night. With Cristiano Rolando injured, Gareth Bale stood up to the challenge and proved his worth in the left wing of Madrid's strike force. His winner in the 85th minute marked on of the most crucial goals of his career as it sinked the Catalans and their hopes of the only silverware this season.

Barcelona who are already out of the Champions League, now failed to clinch the Copa Del Ray and are in 3rd in the table behind Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. With only 5 more games still to play Barcelona may end this season without any silverware.

Real Madrid with their 19th Copa Del Ray title

Real Madrid are still alive in the Champions League as they face the defending champions Bayern Munich in the semi final next week. With the Copa Del Rey already in the back they look to add to that tally, as they are only 3 points behind Atletico Madrid in La Liga as both teams have 5 more games to play. Rolando's injury and he missing these crucial matches is certainly a big loss to the Spanish giants but yet the manner in which they managed to clinch the major within the reach of their rivals last night was just incredible.

Wayne Rooney signs a four year contract extension with Manchester United

Wayne Rooney celebrated his new contract extension after a brilliant volley against Crystal Palace last night. United picked up their first away win of 2014 with goals from Van Persie and Wayne Rooney. Rooney is now fourth on the all time goal scorers list, 42 behind the club legend Sir Bobby Charlton who is leading the chart with 249 goals. Rooney, who has 151 goals from 300 league matches, will go on to become the club ambassador after his retirement as per the terms in his new deal signed recently. 

As per the terms in the new five-and-a-half year contract he will be paid £300,000-a-week and will remain in the No 10 shirt making him the highest paid player ever at United.

Rooney after their 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace

United were keen on keeping their best players at the club extending the contracts of Januzaj last October and now Rooney this February. David Moyes responded after their 2-0 victory "We thoroughly deserved it. Wayne's finish was exquisite". He also added saying "We're building a new team and the best players will stay".

According to the Sun "United are convinced that have won the £25 million battle for Germany’s Ilkay Gündogan." which also heated up the chances of Kroos joining United as Moyes himself scouted him during Bayern's 2-0 Champions League victory over Arsenal at Emirates this mid-week.

Moyes also added saying "I can't tell you the amount of phone calls I've had from top players around the world who want to play for Manchester United." and with big names already being linked with United we can expect some new faces this summer at Old Trafford.

Manchester United transfer news: Moyes keen on Juan Mata

Juan Mata is growing increasingly frustrated with him not being able to break into the Mourinho's squad at Chelsea.This could probably open the doors for Manchester United who badly need creativity in the mid-field.The defending champions have registered their first win in 2014 over Swansea last Saturday and Moyes is looking forward to add to his squad before the end of this January. However, the sources claim that United are ready to make a £27m bid for the Spaniard with Bayern Munich also in the race.

Moyes was seen scouting Davide Astori and Arturo Vidal this Sunday and was also interested to bring back Paul Pogba from Juventus. He also got concerns with captain Nemanja Vidic who runs out of contract at the end of the season along with Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand. Evra has already confirmed that he would not be ending his career at Old Trafford due to personal reasons. United look out for a quick replacement in Luke Shaw or Leighton Baines which have not been any success so far.

United are also showing interest to bring the wonder-kid Ever Banega to the Premier League.Barcelona's boss commented ahead of their Copa del Rey semi-final clash against Valencia, "He is a fantastic player, really have to concentrate in order to limit Banega's effectiveness".

All eyes on Rooney as its Manchester United vs Chelsea

With just into its second week of the new season, Premier League witnesses the greatest of the rivals, Manchester United and Chelsea taking on each other this Tuesday. Both the teams have new set of managing personnel with Sir Alex Ferguson announcing his retirement in May and handing over the responsibilities to his fellow countrymen David Moyes. Chelsea on the other hand welcome their most successful manager, Jose Mourinho who marks his second coming and promises to be a historical one this time.

With new additions, both teams need to prove their worth in what seems to be a new era for the two giant football clubs. Chelsea has signed Andre Schurrle, Marco van Ginkel and Mark Schwarzer this summer along with Lukaku who returned from his loan move to West Brom last season. He was amongst the goals, scoring 17 for them for Baggies last season. United have signed only one player Varela, a right full back along with Zaha who returned from Crystal Palace to which he was loaned to in January.

Both the clubs need to settle terms with Wayne Rooney, who probably wanted a move to Chelsea at the start of this season. There were rumors that the England striker requested for a transfer and was expecting to leave Old Trafford in early May itself. But Moyes dismissed the claims and answered the press saying "Rooney is not for Sale". Chelsea have already submited two bids for Rooney under £25 million mark which were rejected by United and have already sent a letter to Chelsea not to bid for the England International as he's not for sale.

With a score to settle on  and off the pitch as well Moyes has a challenge going into this game. With injuries to Hernandez, Nani, Young and Rafael, Moyes needs to look up to his young-guns to fire. Moyes played Rooney in the second half against Swansea in which he created two goals for the Red Devils which marked their first win of the new era under David Moyes. All eyes will be on Moyes and Rooney whether he'll make Rooney start or even play against the club to which the striker wants to move to.

All in all this one will be an exciting one for the fans.

Champions League - The shift of power

Come the 25th of May and you would witness an all German final at Wembley. Yes, there has been a shift in power when both Barcelona and Real Madrid lost to the German giants Bayern Munich and Borrusia Dortmund. The defending Bundesliga champions, Dortmund had a close shave when Real Madrid came close in the second leg scoring 2 goals out of possible 3 which would take them through to the Champions League finals. The aggregate score line was Dortmund 4 - 3 Real Madrid.

Barcelona suffered a 7 - 0 aggregate loss to their rivals Bayern Munich, which was the worst loss for the Catalans after their dominance for nearly 10 years. Barcelona once again proved that they were highly dependent on Messi who sat out of the second leg with an injury. The Spanish giants didn't even manage to net even once in their home ground, instead gave out an own goal in their home leg tie.

The shift of dominance could now move to Germany from Spain with both Bayern and Dortmund looking impressive. Quardiola would be taking charge of Bayern from this summer and they winning the Champions League would be a stunning welcome for the Spaniard and also to their current manager. With a possible Rooney move from Manchester United, Bayern and Quardiola would look to make a stiff impact and continue their dominance in world football.

Dortmund, the defending champions may have lost the league to Bayern but would like to lay their hands on the Europe's major title this time. With many of their star players performing they would be counting on for a title this time. Lewondoski, Godze and Rues could move out at the end of the season, and rumors say that Lewondoski has already signed a contract with a popular club and would be joining them this summer.

Whatever the result may be at Wembley, the German teams have managed to leave a mark this season and hope to continue their dominance for the years to come.
