Real Madrid fan in Dubai has a Decima themed Lamborghini
If a Real Madrid themed Lamborghini were exist anywhere, it was always going to be in Dubai — where supercars grow instead of trees. And so it is there that one Madridista celebrated the club winning their 10th European Cup last season with unparalleled flash.
With a large crest on each side and all 10 cups on the back end spelling out “Hala Madrid,” the customizations are enough to make Ferruccio Lamborghini cry.

Peter Crouch is really tall and this jockey he met in Dubai is really small, so they decided to delight the world with their one-foot and seven inch height difference by posing together in a photograph. How considerate of them.

Traveling sketchbook beautifully depicts some of Cristiano Ronaldo’s greatest moments
By now you must be familiar with the brilliant and unique work of Richard Swarbrick (see his 2014 World Cup highlights here). This latest video, however, adds another dimension to his beautifully minimalistic animations — the real world.
Recapping some of Cristiano Ronaldo’s career highlights on a sketchbook moving through the streets of Manchester and Madrid — the cities where he has played the majority of his career — the video serves as a reminder of why he’s already won two Ballon d’Or awards and might be on the verge of his third.
Enjoy.
Heerenveen abandon friendly after comically dubious series of penalties
Standard Liege and Heerenveen played a friendly in Spain on Friday that came to an abrupt and premature conclusion when the Dutch side walked off after one too many curious decisions from the referee.
Frustrations came to a boil as the ref awarded three penalties (two to Standard Liege and one to Heerenveen, which was saved), but it was the fourth for a phantom offense that pushed Heerenveen to the brink. But when the penalty was saved and the ref called for it to be retaken, they decided they had had enough and walked off the pitch, shaking hand with the Standard Liege players as they went.
Again, this was only a friendly, but it was also the most egregious example of match fixing in recent memory or maybe a Spanish official’s desperate attempt to impress his family in the stands. Either way, there are plenty of better things to do in Spain to wrap up the winter break than whatever this was.
