Bayern Munich’s elimination from the Champions League semifinals by Atletico Madrid ensures that Pep Guardiola will not win a European title for the German club before he joins Man City next season. Though Guardiola has won five other trophies in his three seasons with Bayern, this comes as a terrible disappointment to him. Thankfully, his fellow managers have reached out to him with their comforting words.

Zlatan conducts job interview with woman who does not like Cristiano Ronaldo
When we last saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic conduct a job interview on behalf of the vitamin drink he promotes, he asked a very nervous prospective hire who his favorite footballer was. The guy was smart/scared enough to say it was the massively egoed superstar sitting across from him. But Nicole from Finland is far braver.
Leicester players celebrate improbable Premier League title at Jamie Vardy’s house party
After being told by everyone all season that he’s having a party, Jamie Vardy decided to do just that for the Chelsea-Spurs match that would prove to be the final result needed to confirm Leicester’s Premier League title. And as a result, we get this brilliant celebration video.
Spurs squander 2-0 lead to end title hopes in most Spurs way possible
Spurs hadn’t won at Stamford Bridge since 1990, but they had to do just in order to prolong their slim title hopes for another week. They seemed destined to do just that when they took a 2-0 lead over Chelsea jsut before halftime. But then the longstanding animosity between the two clubs boiled over and Spurs did what they do best: implode.
This is what it’s come to for Mario Balotelli
A missed penalty against Frosinone brings Mario Balotelli to 16 straight appearances without a goal. Once automatic from the penalty spot, even Balotelli’s greatest strength seems to have disappeared as he has only scored one Serie A goal for Milan all season.

Marouane Fellaini delivered his 1,872nd elbow to an opponent’s head (which entitles him to a free small coffee!) as Man United hosted Leicester City. Though Fellaini’s elbow didn’t seem to hurt Robert Huth’s jaw of steel, the German defender did give Fellaini a taste of his own medicine with a hair pull.
2016 Arsenal civil war moans on with protest and counterprotest
The Great Arsenal Civil War of 2016 eclipsed the club’s match against Norwich as fans took the battle from the outposts of YouTube, Twitter, and Starbucks across north London to Emirates Stadium itself.

Brendan Rodgers is boxing now
Brendan Rodgers is rumored to be headed to Celtic or back to Swansea next season, bringing an end to his, erm, colorful time off since getting sacked by Liverpool last October. So he’s getting into fighting shape by boxing with a new trainer who has demonstrated that he is either making fun of him or is just as oblivious as Brendan himself with the Instagram post above.
In the video, Rodgers trains with boxing gloves in an empty garage with Kanye West’s “Power” serving as the soundtrack. The ferocious look in his eyes tells you he’s imagining either Jurgen Klopp or Mario Balotelli as he goes to town on his trainer’s punch mitts.
Anyway, this has been your regular update on what Brendan Rodgers has been up to. Sadly, there isn’t going to be a sequel to Being: Liverpool about the last six months of his life.

Lee Chung-yong has only made 12 appearances for Crystal Palace this season and according to the South Korean international, that might be at least partly down to manager Alan Pardew’s struggles in counting to three.
Leicester fan convinces girlfriend to name their daughter “Vardy” with internet petition
Given the incredible turn of events for Leicester City this season, it’s understandable that their fans would be a bit drunk on life and delirious. Perhaps this is why Leicester supporter Ashley Marriott decided that “Vardy” — as in the club’s top scorer Jamie Vardy — would make a good middle name for his unborn daughter and that he should start an internet petition to convince his partner of this.
