Revenge Is Best Served Late (Inter Milan 0 – 1 Bayern Munich )


Inter claimed last season's Champions League title by beating Bayern Munich in the final, but this time around the Germans have exacted revenge at the San Siro with a 1-0 win. Mario Gomez's late tap-in decided the action packed match after Julio Cesar spilled Robben's long-range shot...

1St half - Match Highlights





2nd Match Highlights


Genoa 4-3 AS Roma




Manic depressive Roma implode again.

Phillipe Mexes, Nicolas Burdisso, and Francesco Totti fire Roma into a seemingly unassailable 3-0 lead. But Genoa storm back through braces by Rodrigo Palacio and Alberto Paloschi to pull off a remarkable comeback as the Romans fall to pieces. Check out Palacio's zen like equalizer for the Rossoblu. Such lethal finishes made him a legend at Boca Juniors.

For Claudio Rainieri it was the end of the road as Roma stumbled to their third Serie defeat as well as being outplayed by Shakhtar in the CL first leg.

They've given up 36 goals with only Lecce and Bari giving up more. As recently as the 21st week, the Romans were riding high in 2nd position trailing just AC Milan. That peak was achieved after a disastrous slide to the bottom after the sixth week. Now in eighth position it has been a season of bipolar proportions for the 59 year old Rainieri. Vincenzo Motella, the assistant coach takes over in a caretaker capacity till the end of the season. His first order will be to stop this careless leaking of goals.

Crouch scores as Spurs shock Milan in late finish

Crouch, Spurs, Milan, Tottenham, UEFA Champions League


Peter Crouch might have scored the goal but the architect was Aaron Lennon bursting forth leaving Mario Yepes sprawling in his wake.

Spurs shrugged off the loss of Luka Modric and Gareth Bale as they went on the offensive through Rafael Van der Vaart with Sandro and Wilson Palacios bolstering the midfield. A slew of near misses and a goalkeeper change as Marco Amelia came in for the injured Christian Abbiati kept Milan on the backfoot.

On the other hand, Milan looked like they were expecting Spurs to prolong their record of failing to keep a clean sheet. Chances were few and far in between. Massimiliano Allegri opting to keep Clarence Seedorf instead of Alexander Pato was a bit baffling. A realization that dawned too late. Milan redoubled their efforts but Spurs this time were not found wanting. Gomes pulled off a stellar save from Yepes to prevent Milan from levelling.

Milan made waves in other ways as Mathieu Flamini hobbled Vedran Corluka giving Jonathan Woodgate his first start since November 2009. The former Arsenal defender should have been sent off by all indications. Rini Gattuso lived up to his snarling dog reputation headbutting Joe Jordan at halftime.

Spurs now need to hold on at White Hart to keep their Champions League dream alive. Milan will come at them.

Germany's Revenge Failure (Germany 1-1 Italy )

Miro magic Miroslav Klose scored his 59th goal for Germany as they looked to gain revenge on Italy for their 2006 World Cup semi-final defeat.


Wednesday night's highly anticipated clash between Germany and Italy may only have been a friendly, but Goal.com's Clark Whitney feels that die Mannschaft could have been more upbeat and used their time to avenge their historical loss to the Azzurri in the 2006 World Cup...

Pazzini's debut is a dream one for Inter

Pazzini,Inter,Seria A


Fabrizio Miccoli and Antonio Nocerino combining with Matia Cassini put Palermo two goals up. Inter's defending bordered on the ludicrous with Maicon looking a pale imitation. That was before Giampaolo Pazzini newly bought from Sampdoria took matters into his hands. Both goals were the result of impeccable goal poaching instincts in front of goal. It was left to Samuel Eto'o to pull off a come from behind win to keep Inter on pace with the Serie leaders.
