Europa League Semi-Finals

Looks like an all English Final wasn't meant to be. Fulham won 2-1 over Hamburg placing them in the final. Liverpool sadly lost out on away goals (the score was 2-2) The Liverpool Atletico Madrid game even went into overtime, but Liverpool just couldnt score another goal to place them in the final.

Both teams played well, but for Liverpool it just wasn't meant to be. Better luck next boys.
So this means that on May 12th Fulham will play Atletico Madrid in the Europa League Final.

Not sure who Im going to be rooting for yet, but im thinking Atletico Madrid. =]

Inter Milan beat Barca

Inter Milan lost 1-0 tonigth against Barcelona in the 2nd leg of the Champions League Semi-Final. But the overall score was 3-2 to Inter Milan which meant they go through to the final of the Champions League.

Pique scored a goal in the second half, but it was not enough.

Now Inter Milan will face Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu in May, to determine who will be champions =]

Fingers crossed Inter =]

Tuesday 27 April 2010

Real Madrid Picture Time =]
















Bayern Munich secure spot in CL Final.

Bayern Munich booked a spot in the Champions League final. With an overall score 0f 4-0. Tonights match saw Bayern with a 1-0 advantage, that soon became 4 by Bayern player Olic. Olic scored a hatrick in tonights match. Whilst Lyon failed to score any.


It seems like Bayern may well be winning another Champions League after winning it all the way back in 2001. Good luck Boys.


Now all thats left is the Barcelona vs Inter Milan game tomorrow. Barca are usually pretty good at home, but are going to try very hard to beat the 3-1 advantage Inter already have. I'm rooting for Inter, but you never know with these matches. =]

Oh No Raul.

From realmadrid.com,

Raul Gonzalez Blanco had a clinical examination and a magnetic resonance this morning at Sanitas-La Moraleja Hospital that determined he suffers from a grade II sprain on the syndesmosis. The player will miss at least four weeks.

Ahhhh this is not good. Lets pray for Raul and keep him in our hearts so that he will make a good speedy recovery and get back to doing what he does best. (Scoring awesome goals =])

Thankful it isn't to serious though, but we love you Raul.

Found this picture - Too funny, not to post


Torres Health Fears

Liverpool player Fernando Torres has spoke out about fears over his health whilst playing iin the Premier League, also about boss Rafa Benitez,


"The Premier League is such a tough competition and I have always admired this championship and the players who are here," Torres, whose season has been scuppered by a knee injury which could see him miss the start of the World Cup with Spain, told The News Of The World.

"This is my third season and I'm still amazed to see (Steven) Gerrard, (Wayne) Rooney and (Frank) Lampard, players who have been here a long time, still playing at such a high level and with such impressive rhythm because the English league really wears down a player.

"I just can't imagine what state I'll be in within five or six years if I continue to play here - it could easily give me problems when I stop playing. The physical level is superior to all other countries."

On Rafa Benitez,

"If I score twice in a game I want to hear that I played badly to help me do even better next time," he added.

"Rafa is ruthless and sometimes it is tiring but he knows the right way to deal with me.

"I have put in a lot of effort but you always need someone who brings the best out in you, someone who is very demanding.

"If Rafa had not been here I would never have come. He has taught me a lot and he has helped me go beyond my limits and to be the player I am today."


Whilst I understand where he is coming from, as a fan of both Torres and Liverpool, I will be extremely sad if he leaves. In my opinion La Liga is just as hard if not harder than the premier league, but maybe if he feels a move there or to another country will do him good, then I will accept that and not be bitter. He needs to do what is best for him and not worry about what Liverpool fans may think.

Torres is looking to miss the start of the world cup this summer. Lets pray that does not happen and that he makes a speedy recovery. God knows this could be the summer of his life.

Some of my faveourite players...

Damnnnnn picture of the week.

Check out those thighs =O



Barcelona vs Xerez

Barcelona won 3-1 against bottom of La Liga team Xerez. Suprise though is that the "messiah" failed to score and despite winning the team played rather poorly. Could the defeat againt Inter Milan be taking its toll on them.

Will they be able to bounce back for Wednesday's game against Inter, or will they get knocked out of the Champions League.

Anyway, Real Madrid and Barca's win mean that Barca still lead in La Liga with 4 games to go and only 1 point between the two teams.

This will be a tense battle im sure.......But yeah HALA MADRID


=]

Real Madrid vs Zaragoza

Real Madrid won 2-1 tonight against Zaragoza, with two stunning goals from Raul and Kaka. Raul who had missed 10 days and Kaka 45 due to injury, scored the goals both with assists from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Kaka said after the game:



"I finally scored again, which is important for both Real Madrid and myself. I am extremely happy. I had been waiting a long time for a match like this. I dedicate this goal to all those who have helped me."

"The best answer I had for all those who criticized me was my performance on the pitch. I ask that Real Madrid fans not question my injury."





And Raul:

"Playing here is always special for me. I got hurt on a play before I scored, but all that matters is that this team remains competitive and is still in the title hunt."

"We are very pleased with this win. We proved that we know how to suffer. Winning to stay in the title chase was all that mattered."

Raul is thought to have suffered a sprain in his ankle. Lets hope for a speedy recovery so he can continue scoring more fantastic goals like tonights.

Thoughts on the match?









Funny Picture of The Week


Manchester United vs Tottenham

The Red Devils bet Spurs 3-1 today at Old Trafford, making them go top of the table for now. Ryan Giggs proved age dosen't matter when it comes to football and tucked away two penalties in the second half. Nani scored a fantastic goal in the 81st minute, chipping the ball over the keeper =]. King scored for Spurs in the 70th minute, but....yeah, whatever.

Nani looked like he was about to puke in extra time, towards the end of the match. Kneeling on the ground and clutching his stomach. As well as Evra, who was sick on the pitch and had to come off. Wonder what those Manchester United players are being fed.

Please dont get food poisining Boys. (Fingers crossed)

Rooney was out with a groin injury (Booooo) But the team managed just fine without him. Well Done Boys.

Thursday 22 April 2010

Bayern Munich vs Lyon

Bayern Munich won 1-0 against french side Bayern last night at the champions league semi - final match. Even with Ribery getting sent off during the first half they still managed to win the game.

But i must say that they did deserve it. Lyon played.....well not so good and hopefully in the next match which will be on their own turf they beat Bayern .

But yeah well done Robbin for a good goal.

And Ribery....you deserve everything you get. In more ways than one, if you get what I mean. If not ill say this, if it proves to be true that you slept with a french prostitute them SHAME on you. Even though prostitutiton is legal iin France, they have to be 18 or over and supposedly this girl was not. So yeahhhhh =

Wednesday 21 April 2010

Inter Milan Wooooooo.

Inter Milan won 3 - 1 against Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League Semi-Final. Maybe Barca's excuse could be that they had a 16 hour coach journey or maybe Inter Milan were the better team =]

Either way they still whopped the "best team in the worlds" ass. So yeah this girl is happy =] =]





United looking for new manager.

Manchester United are said to be looking for a new manager to replace current manager Alex Ferguson. Ferguson is said to be looking at retiring in 2011 when he will be 70 years old (WOOOOWWWW he dosent look it) Some say there looking at Jose Mourhino or Capello.

Who do you think should replace Ferguson?

Even though no one can do it like Fergie can =]

Monday 19 April 2010

Liverpool Win

Liverpool won 3 - 0 against West Ham at Anfield. This is sure to keep their European dreams alive.

Yossi Benayoun, a former West Ham player, scored for Liverpool in the 19th minute. David Ngog then made it 2 - 0, ten minutes later. A free kick from Gerrard hit off Sotirious Kyrgiakos against the post and rebounded off the keeper.

Maybe they dont need Torres after all, but it couldn't help....could it.

Javi Alonso (Homolicious) =]


Olllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaa! =]

Real Madrid won 2 - 0 against Valencia tonight at the Bernabeu. With two stunning goals from Higuain and Ronaldo. Los Blancos played a brilliant game, with Ronaldo blasting the ball at the net every oppurtunity he could. They definetly deserved a win tonight, even though Valencia did put up a good fight, they just wern't good enough tonight.

The win means that Real Madrid go 1 point behind Barcelona and with 5 games left in La Liga, the race for the title is back on. Real must win all there upcoming matches and hope that Barca slip up again, like they did with Espanyol on Saturday if they want to take home the title.

This looks possible as Barca have to face much stronger teams in their next 5 matches than Real Madrid. So fingers crossed Madridtas =] There is still hope.































Fernando Torres - Knee Problem

Liverpool Player and Spanish International Player Fernando Torres has been ruled out for the rest of the season as he has to have surgery on his knee. Initially Liverpool Manager Rafa Benitez said his injury would be nothing to worry about but it looks like the problem has got worse.


Torres will now be out for 6 weeks and Liverpool's hopes of a top four finish or winning the Europa league are now looking slim without their star player.


I wish Torres a full speedy recovery. Boy needs to get up and at it for the World Cup this summer, but Im sure he'll be more than ready. =]



Saturday 17 April 2010

Barcelona vs Espanyol

Well its seems like the "messiah" couldn't shine in this game. Barca drew 0 - 0 will Espanyol tonight which means that if Real win against Valencia tomorrow, they go just one point behind Barca.


Fingers crossed Ronaldo works his magic =]

Thursday 15 April 2010

Real Mardrid vs Almeria

Real Madrid won 2 -1 against Almeria.

Crusat scored a goal for Almeria in the 14th minute, but Real were able to bounce back with Cristiano scoring a goal in the 27th minute and Van der Vaart in the second half.

The win puts Real Madrid still in the running for the La Liga title =]

There next game is on the 18th against Valencia and will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu.

PFA Player of the Year Award

Well it looks like Wayne Rooney is the faveourite to win the PFA Player of the Year Award.

And your mad to think he doesen't deserve it. Having already notched up 34 goals this season and continuing time and time again to shine on the pitch for Manchester United, I damn well think he deserves this award. =]


The Shortlist is as follows:

- Carlos Tevez
- Cesc Fabregas
- Didier Drogba
- Wayne Rooney


Thoughts on who you want to win this award?

Sunday 11 April 2010

Messi pipes up.

Lionel Messi decided to give us his view on Saturdays match against Real Madrid.

"We have demonstrated on the field that we are better than Real Madrid"

"This was not a duel between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, but a battle between Real MAdrid and Barca and Barca have proved to be the winners in every aspect"

Well there you have it and I dont care but i still think Ronaldo is better than you Messiiiii

Thoughts?

Ronaldo still has hope.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still hopeful that Real Madrid can win the title.


He says "Barcelona were much better than us, but we need to lift our heads, because there are seven games left"


"If we win the league you cannot talk about failure. We need to believe its possible. We're professionals and you cannot give up. We can win the league"



Defender Ramos agreed "The team are going to continue fighting to the death and we have to lift ourselves because there is still a lot of the league left"



Kudos on having a positive attitude. Stick in there Real, were always right behind you =]





Man city vs Birmingham

Okay maybe not a good day for Manchester United. But their arch rivals Manchester City had a really good day.


The Man City boys scored 5 goals. Tevez scored 2, Adebayor 1 and Onuoha 2 as well.

Birmingham managed to score 1 from Jerome, incase you cared.

Blackburn vs Manchester United

Nil - Nil

WTF Liverpool and Manchester United both dont score any goals or win. God guys get it together. We want some action.

=]

Poor Fernando

It seems that Fernando Torres knee problems arnt gone just quite yet. Torres was missing from Liverpool's game with Fulham (were neither team scored).

Torres had already missed a month in January where he underwent surgery on his knee.


Rafa Benitez said "He has a problem with his knee and has gone to see a specialist. We are waiting for news"


Fingers crossed everything will be okay for Fernando. Liverpool don't shine as brightly without him.


Were rooting for you El Nino.

Saturday 10 April 2010

Barcelona are the winners.

Well it looks like Los Blancos couldn't maintain their perfect winning streak at home. Barce with two goals to none were the winners El Classico.


Although I have to admit a good game was played by Real Madrid, with some good chances from Higuain, Ronaldo and Van de Vaart.


But Real's defence was just not strong enough escpecially for Messi who scored the first goal.


Better luck next time Real =]

Its hereeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Football Scandals

Here at football bebe, we realise that girls (and boys) no matter how big a football fan you may be, do love a bit of a scandal every now and then to remind you that footballers, even with their fame and money are really just like the rest of us. So can fuck up just like everybody else, whether or not we hold this against them on the pitch is your choice. (I personally dont). But here are some of the biggest scandals to hit football throughout the years.


Wayne Rooney

In 2004 it was discovered that Manchester United Star Wayne Rooney was a regular client to a Liverpool prostitute called "Auld Slapper" who as well as being 52 years of age (Ewwwww!) liked to dress as a cowgirl. This along with Rooney being known to visit brothels regulary throughout Manchester, shined a very different light on the fame soccer player, who at the time had a girlfriend (Coleen McLaughlin, now his wife and baby momma). Luckily she forgave him and most Man U fans seem to have forgotten about it. Possibly due to the fact that Rooney is their best player.



Ashley Cole


Recently married to lets face it, stunning, Cheryl Tweedy. A very drunk Cole charmed Aimee Watson (hairdresser and mother to one) to come back to his and well...you know. After being sick in the car (real classy) they arrived to home, only for Cole to stop thier "romp" to be sick again. Watson later admitted she was very impressed by cole despite him "not being very big". HA! Cheryl forgave him, turning the blame on Aimee taking advantage of Ashley being intoxicated. Lucky Fella eh. Well now as he's cheated again and she's finalllllllly dumping his ass, not so lucky.


David Beckham

David Beckham decided to take a break from his darn good life, with his money, fame, equally succesful wife and beautiful kids to get freaky with his PA. A supposed 4 month affair ensued and finally Rebecca Loos sold her story to the papers. David never denied the clain, however Victoria stuck by him and they are still one of the worlds leading "power couples"


Diego Maradona


World Cup quarter final 1994 between Argentina and England saw Maradona punch the ball into the net with his fist. To the horror of the England team and the millions watching the Ref allowed the goal having appeared not to have seen it. The famous quote said by Maradona was formed from the game "a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God" Still viewed as one of the best player ever, but will always be remembered by this. Note to Self Henry =P

Liverpool through to Semi-Final

Feck yeah.... The lovely boys in red managed to defeat Benfica with an impressive 4 goals to 1. Who says Liverpool are losing there touch...eh?


Dirk Kuyt headed a corner from Steven Gerrard 27 minutes into the game. Strangely however, the linesman flags for offside, promting the ref to blow his whistle to disallow the goal. But after some persuading from Torres allows the goal. Who says Refs cant be nice once in a while? Maybe he took his happy pills this morning =]


Lucas 7 minutes later plays a beautiful ball into the back of the net, passed nicely from Gerrard. Liverpool's chances by now are sure looking gooooooood.


Torres slams the ball into the back of the net at 58 minutes.....Torres song followed =] Na na na na na na na na Torrs Torres

Benficas's Cardozo makes it 3 - 1 at the 68th minute as the Liverpool wall fails to stand firm.

Annnnnnnnd Torres scores again in teh 81th minute. Chips the ball over Moreira and Wollla 4 - 1 to Liverpool. Cue singing =]




Well what a stunning performance from Liverpool. To be fair Benfica played strongly in the first 30 minutes. But hand up to boys in Red for a fantastic performence (What it should be like) I have to mention though, Benfica players were pretty rough to Torres during this game. Leave blondie alone, he's to cute =]






















Torso of the Week




Here at Football Bebe we realise that girls who like football dont just neccessarily like it for the "hot sweaty men running about". We do ACTUALLY have a proper interest in the beautiful game that goes further than "how hot number 5 is". But as we are girls, we can find certain footballers hot, so why not showcase this...heres your torso of the week.








































Playing Today

Liverpool vs Benfica


Atletico Madrid vs Valencia


Wolfsburg vs Fulham


So Liverpool who one could say have been performing not so good (shite) lately, really have to step up for this game. Hopefully they give the fans a reason to sing the torres song =] (Which in my opinion is the best damn football song ever) If you disagree please tell me and suggest another and no Rangers Follow Follow does not count.


Atletico Madrid and Valencia, well it seems to me that La Liga is all about Real Madrid and Barce. Thats not to say the other teams dont count, they do, but we all no either Real Madrid or Barce is going to win La Liga. There is little to no hope for any other team to actually come within a fraction of winning it. Disagree then please tell me.

And Wolfsburg vs Fulham, The Germans vs The English =] Well considering the losing streak Fulham has recently being seeing, can they turn it around......I think not. Disagree tell me.

Real Madrid El Classico Interview

Some of the Real Madrid boys had some things to say about the upcoming El Classico.

Sergio Ramos

"The match comes at a very important time this season. There is hardly any difference between us and Barcelona and the slightest mistake could kill both our chances to win the title. We are very excited about the match. I believe it could be decisive."

"We must be strong, use the speed of our wingers in attack, keep posession and make as few mistakes as possible, especially when defending"

"Barcelona have a style of their own. It dosent matter who plays because the whole squad has the same philiosophy. We'll have to have a clear idea of what it is we must do and play how Pellegrini wants us to"

"Leo Messi always performs at a high level. He makes a difference"

Guti

"It will be an important match. We fear no one. Barcelona are doing a good job, but we have sufficient weapons to help us defeat them"

"I only think about victory. We will be very motivated because we know how much is at stake for us. We will have to concentrate hard because Barcelona are a great apponent. It wont be easy"

"We could have won the first leg of the matchat Camp Nou. It is now time for us to defeat them at the Bernabeu"

"I think we can do it. We are strong home and we will have the support of our fans. We have players who are capable of scoring at any given time"

Iker

"The Classico will be a great game, but it wont be decisive. Three very important points will be at stake and our goal is to win the match. The winner's position on the table will be strengthened, but the league is still far from over. Other teams we will face are fighting for particular objectives"

"We hardly concede any goals because we all help out. Everyonr is invloved in defending set pieces. Our quality in attack can guarantee us to win games as long as we dont concede any strikes"

"Kaka wants to help the team. The team will benefit if he's in good form. He is angry because he hasn't performed as he wished, but we are delighted with him because he is a team worker who sets a great example. We want him to recover as soon as possible"

"Barcelona's Xavi is a great player and his team benifits from his skill with the ball. Valdes is a very good goalkeeper. He is doing well on his team"

Bordeaux VS Lyon

So yeah even Chamakh scoring a goal just before half time couldn't get them through to the Champions Leauge semi - final. As the overall results were 3 - 2 to Lyon. Better Luck next time boys.

Im sure Lyon will now go celebrate and pray pray pray that they dont get Barcelona in the Semi - Final.







Real Madrid Vs Barcelona EL CLASSICO

Kick Off 22:00 (Spanish time), 20:30 (United Kingdom) @ Santiago Bernabeu.
Will you be watching? If so who are you rooting for? Real or Barca.

And really do you see it as more of a battle between Ronaldo and Messi or a Spanish Rivarly.

Is it going to be Viva La Ronaldo or the Messiha thatt takes home the crown?

Ronaldo (shhhhhhhh!)





















Funny Football Picture of the Week


Manchester United Vs Bayern Munich

Okay, so at the start of the week the results didnt look to be good for this game. Wayne Rooney was apparantly out for 2 to 3 weeks and The Red Devils had already suffered a defeat Away. So one could say we were fucked.

All that changed however, we got "The White Pele" back....
















So with Man U's top player starting, it started to look much much brighter at the end of the tunnel. Even brighter when Gibson and Nani scored early goals within 7 minutes of each other. Im sure the words "Lets P.A.R.T.Y" came into a lot of United's fans heads there, mine included.
So with another fabulous goal from Nani in the 41st minute, it looked like Bayern would be going back home to cry into there Bratwursts.
But somehow, luck was not on United's side, Olic scored in the 43rd minute and in the second half Rafael (who i have to say was playing pretty good so far) got sent off.
A ten man United just couldn't fend of Bayern and Robbin scored in the 74th minute leaving a desperate Man U trying to get another goal.
Sadly however, fate intervened and it was not meant to be. So Bayern Munich get to go home and eat a good bratwurst, drink some beer and stare at Heidi Klum pictures before the Champions League semi-final.
Alltogether I think both teams played very well. However Bayern was definetly stronger in the 2nd Half. I do believe Manchester deserved to have won however and hopefully they kick everyone's asses next year.











Wayne Rooney coming off to make way for O Shea. Hopefully no more damage caused to him.









Robbin after scoring









Rooney clutching his ankle. (Pray here guys)
