Everyone is aware of Cristiano Ronaldo! What many do not know is that he was groomed at Sporting before his move to Manchester United.

Spanish LaLiga has been a ding dong affair between Barcelona and Real Madrid until the latter won their game in hand against Celta Vigo yesterday. It was the only acceptable result for Los Blancos as any slip up would have resulted in perpetual regrets.
Real Madrid are scheduled to visit Malaga for their last game of the season. They must ensure they get a least a point to secure their first league title in five years. Now, that’s unusually long for a trophy laden club!
