Spanish second division club Alcorcon beat rivals Leganes 2-0 last week and they have four-year-old Paula to thank for getting them ready. First, Paula used her megaphone to lead her fellow supporters in song, then she went into the players’ dressing room and did the same there.
With this much adorableness on their side, it’s no wonder they won.
Horrible scenes in Turkey as an angry Trabzonspor fan attacks the assistant referee yesterday

With his team down 4-0 to Fenerbahce and just a bit of injury time left to play, a Trabzonspor fan decided to invade the pitch and attack an assistant referee. Because clearly an assistant referee was the true puppet master behind Trabzonspor’s horrible performance.
On the last full day of his reign as PFA Player of the Year, Eden Hazard scored his first two goals of the Premier League season in Chelsea’s 4-1 win over Bournemouth, proving that his terrible form this season has either been a slow-burn practical joke or something else equally incomprehensible.
Maybe he had been suffering from amnesia, simply forgot how to score goals, and thought his name was Stanley Dingleton, but hit his head the night before the Bournemouth match and it all came back to him? I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about this a lot this season and I still don’t know. The Dingleton theory seems like it’s on the right track, though.
It had been 356 days since his last Premier League goal, but that’s all over now.
Meanwhile, Luis Suarez has scored four goals in each of his last two La Liga matches — a new record — bringing his total to 34 for the season.
Congrats, Eden!
Diego Simeone has proven himself to be a true master of organizing the perfect defense. And during Atletico Madrid’s match against Malaga, she demonstrated that sometimes the perfect defense is ordering someone to throw a second ball on the pitch in order to stop a counter attack.

Djibril Cisse has always been full of surprises. During his playing days, it was his avant-garde fashions, but since retiring it’s been an arrest related to the sextape blackmail of Mathieu Valbuena and now DJing at a Mariah Carey concert in Paris.

Amidst all the talk of whether Leicester can hold on and win the Premier League title, Claudio “The Sausageman” Ranieri has provided an impassioned reminder that club’s already certain achievement of a place in the Champions League needs to be recognized.
“Hey man, we are in Champions League!” Ranieri told a reporter during his Friday press conference. “WE ARE IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, MAN! Dilly ding, dilly dong! Come on!”
So there you have it. Claudio Ranieri remains endlessly likable and he confirms that Leicester will sign former Montreal Impact midfielder Dilly Duka this summer.
Fernando Torres’ career can be divided into two distinct parts: before he was sold to Chelsea for a then British record £50 million and after. In the “before” period, he was an unstoppable force worthy of sharing a nickname with a global weather pattern. In the “after” period, he was a punchline and the symbol of stunning ineptitude.
Struggling with injuries and out of favor with Roma manager Luciano Spalletti, it seemed Francesco Totti might have already scored his last goal in a Roma shirt way back in September. But on Sunday, he came off the bench to score a late equalizer against Atalanta, making Roma commentator Carlo Zampa have a euphoric meltdown on the air (above).
Following Aston Villa’s announcement that striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has been suspended for being pictured with laughing gas canisters, the club has also announced an investigation into all of their players not pictured with laughing gas canisters.
Bill Murray hosted the Laureus World Sports Awards in Berlin and took the opportunity to make Germany manager Jogi Löw squirm.
