Image
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't appear to appreciate being stopped by  UEFA's doping officials after Real Madrid's draw with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night. The Portuguese superstar threw his arms in the air and cried  "siempre yo," translated as "always me," when he was stopped as he walked from the pitch following the 0-0 stalemate.  Maybe it's not all wonder goals and Hollywood movies being CR7...

This summer, athletes from across the globe went head to head for a new title:  “Most Charitable Athlete.”  Inspired by its annual Celebs Gone Good list, honoring the most charitable celebrities of the year, DoSomething.org announces the winners of its inaugural Athletes Gone Good list. Cristiano Ronaldo topped the list for going above and beyond on the field and in his charity work.  The Portuguese soccer star raised money for various causes including donating more than $83,000 to a 10-year-old fan in need of brain surgery and giving more than $165,000 to fund a cancer center in Portugal that treated his mother.  Ronaldo has also used his fame as a global spokesperson for a variety of causes including childhood hunger, obesity and biodiversity.

Man City and Manchester United among top six best paid sport teams

Manchester City are the third-best paid sport team in the world - three places ahead of United - for 2015. Paris Saint-Germain, who recently secured their third successive Ligue 1 title and were taken over by Qatar Sports Investment in 2011, are first with an average weekly wage of £101,898, according to the Sporting Intelligence website. City spent an average of £96,445 on wages per week, while United's is £89,988. Annually, that amounts to £5,015,122 for City and £4,679,377 for United. As well as PSG, Real Madrid are the only other sport side who shell out more on wages than City. Barcelona and Major League Baseball team LA Dodgers are also above United, in sixth. The annual report was first produced in 2010 and eight football clubs are included in this year's top 12 list, along with three MLB teams and the National Basketball Association (NBA)'s Brooklyn Nets. With Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules set to be relaxed by Uefa president Michel Platini, City could b...

Manchester United could lose second big-money midfielder with Valencia after Juan Mata

Image
The La Liga side think they can lure the Spaniard back to  his home country for a knock-down £20m fee. Mata joined the Old Trafford outfit from Chelsea for £37.5m in January 2014 but could be set to leave for almost half that just 18 months later. The Daily Mirror  claim Valencia want to re-sign Mata after selling him to the Blues in 2011. Mata was forced to leave the La Liga side to help finance what was a crumbling empire at the Mestalla but thanks to new owner Peter Lim they have new-found financial muscle. The report follows the news that Paris St-Germain are still interested in signing Angel di Maria after missing out on the Argentine last summer. If United do decide to sell the pair they could be set for a windfall in excess of £80m. Boss Louis van Gaal still has an unbalanced side which has struggled to gel and it seems that either Mata or Di Maria features in their match day squad rather than both and perhaps United feel that it is time for at least o...
