Marcos ROJO states which Argentina final loss hurts the most, World Cup and Copa America

Marcos ROJO spoke about which of the three finals lost with Argentina hurt the most.

A veteran with the Argentina national team, ROJO played in the three finals in three years. Beginning with the 2014 FIFA World Cup final against Germany and the two Copa America finals against Chile, ROJO commented on them all. Taken from TNT Sports, here’s what he had to say:

“The Copa America we lost in Chile was a bigger hit than the one of the World Cup.

“In Brazil, it was the first final we lost and obviously it hurt but it was also a satisfaction to be able to get to that match. The two Copa America finals we lost hurt us a lot.”

Sergio AGUERO scores for Manchester City in Champions League defeat to Tottenham

Sergio AGUERO scored for Manchester City in their 4-3 win, 4-4 aggregate defeat to Tottenham.

It was one of the most exciting matches in recent history. Goals and controversy, it had it all. Mauricio POCHETTINO’s men took a 1-0 lead going into the second game and AGUERO’s penalty miss in the defeat proved to be crucial.

With the score at 3-2 for City, the club’s all time leading goal scorer scored to make it 4-2 for the home team. A lovely strike from a difficult angle gave Pep GUARDIOLA some breathing room.

However, there was one more goal to be score. Fernando LLORENTE would make it 4-3 and would send Tottenham throguh to the semi finals. Raheem STERLING would score late in injury time but it would go to VAR and the goal would be disallowed.

AGUERO’s goal also means that he has scored 30+ goals in all competitions in three consecutive seasons for the first time in his career.

Javier PASTORE reportedly wanted by Boca Juniors, River Plate

Javier PASTORE is reportedly wanted by the two Argentine clubs.

Another option is could be if Roma receive an offer by a Chinese club although nothing has been submitted.

Lionel MESSI scores twice for FC Barcelona in win against Manchester United

Lionel MESSI scored twice in the Champions League for FC Barcelona in their 3-0 win against Manchester United.

With the first match ending 1-0 for the Catalan’s, the second match at the Camp Nou was business as usual. That is to say the Lionel MESSI show.

Barcelona’s captain scored two very different goals. One of sheer brilliance and the second with some luck. With the ball at his feet, MESSI with a nutmeg through FRED and a left footed shot from outside of the area beat goalkeeper David DE GEA and gave Barcelona the 1-0 lead.

The second goal saw MESSI shoot with his right foot but a blunder by the goalkeeper and it was 2-0 for Barcelona.

MESSI’s two goals bring him to 10 this season in the Champions League, making him the top scorer. With his goals, he has now scored 24 times in 32 matches against English clubs.
