Sad yaar Barca is in 2nd

New signing Diego believes Atletico Madrid are
finally fulfilling their potential having climbed to
the top of La Liga on Sunday.
A 4-0 victory over Real Sociedad sent Atletico
three points clear at the top of the league, with
previous leaders Barcelona having lost at home
to Valencia on Saturday.
And Diego - who moved to the Spanish capital
on a loan deal from Wolfsburg in January,
having previously enjoyed a loan spell at the
club in 2011-12 - feels such success has been
a long time coming.
"It was about time this team grew and won,"
he said. "When I first came here (2011), it was
a very well organised team.
"Now we’re more accustomed to playing at this
level, to winning.
"This is one of the strongest teams in Europe
and I want to help the team keep winning."
And the Brazilian midfielder, who scored in the
victory over Sociedad, was full of praise for
coach Diego Simeone.
"My relationship with Simeone is spectacular,"
he continued. "He’s the best coach I’ve worked
with in my life and has helped me a lot as a
player and as a person.
"The trust he has in me certainly makes a
difference in the decisions I make.
"It was great to start with a win (on Sunday).
"It was a very difficult and important game but
I got a spectacular reception and was able to
make a goal.
"I prepared a lot for this but I have to thank
everyone - my teammates, the fans, the board
and the trust of my coach. I’m very happy."

Four-time World Player of the Year Messi struck from the penalty spot with 54 minutes gone after being brought down by Martin Demichelis , who was sent off. • Tomas : Barca midfield in control at City City had their chances but Barcelona dominated possession throughout and were rewarded when Alves struck the second in the last minute. City had set up well in an attempt to soak up Barcelona pressure and catch them on the break but the task proved beyond them after Messi punished a mistake early in the second half. The Argentinian raced away and, although replays suggested contact by Demichelis may have been just outside the box, a straight red card was brandished and the penalty awarded . The hosts kept on pressing but they failed to make the most of their opportunities and they were picked off again as t...

Ballon d'Award 2013

Madrid and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo has won the FIFA Ballon d'Or following a stellar year for club and country. Ronaldo scored an incredible 69 goals for Real and Portugal throughout 2013, and has been rewarded ahead of Lionel Messi and Franck Ribery at Monday's awards ceremony in Zurich. The former Manchester United man was last recognised as the best player on the planet when he was awarded the now-defunct FIFA World Player of the Year in 2008. Since then, Ronaldo has played second fiddle to Messi, with the Barcelona star winning the final World Player of the Year prize in 2009 before then reeling off three straight Ballons d'Or after FIFA and  France Football  merged their awards in 2010. Messi had to settle for second place on the podium this time around, however, while Bayern Munich winger Ribery finished third. Ronaldo becomes the first player since compatriot Luis Figo in 2000 to collect the Ballon d'Or despite not winning a major trophy in the cal...
