Before Zlatan Ibrahimovic became overlord of the universe, he was king of Malmo, Sweden. He was born there and he began his career there. So, it’s only right that instead of a presidential suite, the new Clarion Hotel in town has a Zlatan Ibrahimovic suite on its 23rd floor.

Cristiano Ronaldo was a little off target during warm-ups before the second leg of Real Madrid’s Champions League quarterfinal against Atletico. As a result, he hit a young boy in the stands with an errant shot.
Ronaldo was visibly pained by the accident and watched closely as medical staff at the Bernabeu treated the boy. When his teammates headed back to the dressing room, Cristiano jogged over to the boy and handed him his shirt.
The kid was still in tears after that, but hopefully the realization that from then on he could always break the ice with strangers at parties by saying “I was hit by a Cristiano Ronaldo shot before a Champions League quarterfinal one time” helped the pain of getting smashed by a Ronaldo free kick go away.

Pep Guardiola, David Moyes, and Jose Mourinho: three men who have all managed La Liga clubs and three men who have all torn their pants in public.
The Manchester United foundation hosted a dream day where a group of fans suffering from illnesses were able to meet the players and coaching staff. One fan took the opportunity to present manager Louis van Gaal with his list of summer transfer targets, presumably so the club can avoid acquisitions like Falcao and Angel Di Maria in the future.
