Naked and with his blue and white painted face, a man got into the field during the game between Pumas and England. It happened during the second half of the match between the Pumas and England when all of a sudden they were surprised, the dark nakedness of a man with his face painted with the Argentinian colors, advanced running on the pitch, before the unflinching gaze of some players and the shouts of the crowd at the Stadium of Dunedin Otago. From little is known about his fate: the official transmission of the tournament, as it is normal for this events, did not show the end of his mad run, probably in the hands of New Zealand police. Anyway, the story of a nudist in Dunedin, the capital of nude rugby.
Besides being man of the match in the Champions League final, as well as cementing his place as a true great, with a scintilating performance at Wembley, Lionel Messi also took his tally for the season to an incredible 53 goals. The second goal for Barcelona, a trademark impish run in from the right and low shot past Edwin van der Sar, means Lionel Messi finishes the 2010/2011 campaign with 53 goals – the exact same number as Cristiano Ronaldo managed for Real Madrid. It is a remarkable achievement since Messi is also a team player and despite playing in a central striker role, he also creates for team mates, often in a deeper position alongside the likes of Xavi and Andres Iniesta. And the statistics associated with Messi are now simply outstanding, especially if you throw in the fact that he is just 23 and showing no signs of weakness. The Wembley goal (Messi’s first on English soil) equalled Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of 12 goals in a Champions League season and he is now just the third player to top-score in three successive editions of Europe’s premier club competition. "Blessed are the passmakers, for they shall be in the Champions League final once more. The best team go through - but how crucial was that Gonzalo Higuain disallowed goal? Penny for Jose's thoughts, but he's history this season - it's now all about Pep v Sir Alex Pt II, 28 May, Wembley." |
