"I'm thrilled Pedro got the winning goal"

By -
Messi who scored two fantastic free kicks and bagged the MVP award gave an interview to UEFA after the match and here are few highlights:

  "I've just been lucky enough to score those [two early free-kicks] and I'm very happy the team won and very grateful to everyone for their support and such a warm welcome. We seemed to be the home team [with the support in the crowd]! It was like we were the hosts and we're very pleased to have won. "The key thing is to win and to win as many trophies as possible. Winning today was significant because of what the Super Cup represents in terms of starting the season on the right foot, so we're delighted. All trophies are great. "The match began strangely for us, we were losing but then I thought we were much better and stronger. We had the ball for the first hour, we created opportunities and scored but then we relaxed and they pressed harder and scored and that was pretty tough. It looked like we were winning hands down but they came back. "I'm thrilled that Pedro was the one to get the winning goal. Personally I don't know what his decision will be [about staying at Barcelona ] but we're all with him and we'll back him. We want the best for him given what he's given the club – he deserves the best. I don't know what he'll decide but whatever he'll have our support."

The Argentine who switched the red side of Manchester for the beautiful city of Paris, said he had to lea've Manchester because Van Gaal changed his position. "Van Gaal has his philosophy and one of the reasons I wanted to go to Manchester United is because of that factor. "However, it was difficult to adapt to Van Gaal's workings. I had a couple of run-ins with him. "It started well for me but then I got injured. When I came back, Van Gaal changed my position. When I spoke to PSG coach Laurent Blanc he said he'd play me in the position I had for Real Madrid." Maria's international team mate Lionel Messi has been publicly criticised for their failure in the Copa America and Dimaria also had this to say: “The next Copa America is our main goal now,” he added. “People didn't see the state of our dressing room after losing this summer's final – we were destroyed. “We do not want to lose another final. Messi is the most important player to our

How much can u bet on a match?

By -
  When we talk about passion for football, we know that a lot of people are ardent soccer fans and we also understand that the degree of passion varies from one fan to the other. However, this passion was elevated to the height of insanity by Henry Dhabasani and Rashid Yiga of the Iganga district of Eastern Uganda recently. Dhabasani, an arsenal fan, made a ridiculous wager by putting his house on the match and Rashid, a United fan, followed suit by betting with his wife and a car! They even formalised the deal by signing a written agreement in the presence of community leaders in the build-up to the match.Of course the match has come and gone with Dhabasani rendered homeless alongside his three wives and 5 children. United Robin Van Persie 27th minute goal neatly ensured that. Dhabasani was said to have fainted after the match that ended 1 - 0. Imagine what the United fan would have lost too if the outcome of the match had been otherwise, a car and...God have mercy, his w
