Someone Actually Touched Messi

((HT: beINSports))

Barcelona played Malaga today in La Liga and it appeared that the back line for Malaga wasn't going to roll over for anyone...

Much less Messi...

The weird thing about the whole exchange was that Weligton and Pique each got yellows when a red card REALLY would have been appropriate.

How good was Malaga's defense...???

Barcelona were held without a shot on goal in a league game for the first time in the past 11 seasons...

That good...

Semis Start To Get Set In Champions League... Offsides Aside...

The HQ will admit that, when Cristiano Ronaldo knocked in the first goal of their game against Galatasaray, we thought the game was over. But the home Turks turned back the clock about a decade or so with goals by Sneijder and Drogba- before Ronaldo did it all over again for the 5-3 aggregate win...

Real Madrid advances...

Next up, at the same time, was Malaga and Borussia Dortmund...
The game was back and forth, but Malaga thought they were going to be another BBVA Liga squad moving through...

Except...

Here's the game winner from Santana- offsides and all...


"I think I need to see a doctor. It feels like we've won the trophy," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. "My assistants and me were looking at each other in shock in the dressing room and saying, `This is crazy'. This is the best I've ever felt.'

Two goals in stoppage time will do that for you...
