And Nakh OTM about Atleti. A truly wondrous season so far. Have they lost a single CL game this season? Think they've won about 9 on the spin in La Liga and need to beat Levante away and Malaga at home to secure title. RM did flatten them in the cup this season mind you.

The Premier League quality has come at great expense and undoubtedly benefits from the kind of hype that would even make PT Barnum blush.
But anyone – particularly those in my own profession – who claims it is not currently the greatest football show on earth should either stop grumbling when others say how marvellous it is, or pick up their ball and take a one-way flight to one of those countries where all but a handful of fixtures are utterly predictable and the playing styles are little more than variations of a theme.
From top to bottom – and that’s the key when assessing competitiveness and quality - the Premier League is a class above everywhere else. The results over the last two weeks have proved it more than ever.

There’s nothing jingoistic, ill-informed or culturally impotent about proclaiming the Premier League the most competitive and cosmopolitan – and yes (broadly speaking) highest quality there is. It’s a fact.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone praised his players' mothers for nurturing a winning mentality after reaching the Champions League final.
The Spanish side came from behind to beat Chelsea 3-1, setting up a clash with city rivals Real Madrid on 24 May.
"I want to thank the mothers of these players because they gave birth to them with balls this big," said Simeone, gesturing as if holding a football.
