Ramos again showed nerves of steel to chip the ball into the net from the spot after a VAR review for a handball by defender Marc Bartra, who appeared to have been pushed by visiting forward Borja Mayoral. The Morocco striker also scored a treble two weeks ago. It is understood that with Benzema playing, he is the first line of attack amongst the BBC trio. The two goals made him the top French scorer in La Liga history surpassing Zidane.

  • Hublot Sélectionneur D'un Match De Légende
    Auf dem Weg zur Europameisterschaft Hublot schreibt Geschichte, denn die Marke bringt die beiden Legenden Pelé und Maradona in einem historisch einzigartigen Spiel zusammen! Unmittelbar vor der UEFA EURO 2016TM, kurz vor dem Anstoß der Fußball-Europameisterschaft, bringt Hublot als Offizielle Uhr zwei vollkommen neue Mannschaften für ein historisches Spiel zusammen. Von dieser Aufstellung, die es so noch nie im Fußball gegeben hat, träumen Fans schon lange. Manche Fußballmomente sind für die Ewigkeit und die Schweizer Luxusuhrenmanufaktur, Hublot schafft nun einen weiteren unvergesslichen Augenblick. „Wir alle träumen von der idealen Mannschaft und würden gerne einige unserer Lieblingsspieler im selben Trikot zusammenspielen sehen. Daher ist es ein wahres Privileg, nun die beiden größten Rivalen aller Zeiten in einem legendären Spiel vereint zu sehen, voller Leidenschaft für den Fußball, die auch uns alle antreibt. Bei diesem Spiel handelt es sich um einen der „unoffiziellen“ Momente, der aber mein Lieblings-„EURO- Moment“ werden könnte. Diese Partie verrät viel über Hublots Engagement in der Welt des Fußballs und die Beziehungen, die wir in den vergangenen zehn Jahren knüpfen konnten, indem wir die Zusammenarbeit mit bedeutenden Clubs, Startrainern, Ballzauberern und den besten Ligen aufnahmen.“ Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO von Hublot Hublot war die erste Luxusmarke, die 2006 eine Verbindung mit dem Fußball einging und wählte nun für dieses Highlight einen prestigeträchtigen Ort. Nur wenige Meter vom Louvre entfernt, inmitten des Palais Royal und neben den „Colonnes de Buren“ laufen zwei legendäre Mannschaften auf dem frischen Rasen auf. Man nehme die zwei besten Spieler aller Zeiten, zehn Legenden und Fußballstars und bilde daraus zwei Mannschaften für ein klassisches Freundschaftsspiel, bei dem Spieler zusammenkommen, die stets nur gegeneinander antraten.

  • Heartbroken Italians Have Much to Be Proud of by Gideon Long ROTTERDAM, July 3 (Reuters)
    Heartbroken Italians have much to be proud of By Gideon Long ROTTERDAM, July 3 (Reuters) - The summer will be long gone before the Italians come to terms with the magnitude and above all the manner of their 2- 1 defeat by France in the European Championship final. As Dino Zoff's players trooped out of the Feyernoord Stadium on Sunday night, their eyes bloodshot from tears, there was little talk of pride and achievement. There was only disbelief. But once the pain has eased and memories of Sylvain Wiltord's late French equaliser have started to fade, Italy will surely look back on Euro 2000 with satisfaction. They have beaten both tournament co-hosts in their own capital cities, proved they have the world's best defence and partially exorcised the ghost of their penalty shootout defeats at the last three World Cups. And above all, they came within seconds of beating World Champions France to take the title. Nothing too much was expected of the Italians when they arrived in Belgium a month ago. They had just lost four of their previous seven matches in one of the worst runs in their 90-year-history as a footballing nation. Even Zoff said only that his squad were capable of reaching the last four. He never mentioned the final or, in public at least, entertained the possibility of winning it. But as soon as they kicked off their opening group match against Turkey it was clear Zoff's Italy meant business. They produced a blistering opening 30 minutes en route to a 2-1 victory and then beat Belgium 2-0 in Brussels.
