Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid - Copa del Rey Final
Fabio Coentrao’s mistake on Saturday is almost too good to be true.
Coentrao took his place on the Real Madrid bench for the match against Espanyol, and on most days, there would be nothing unusual with that. But on Saturday, he wasn’t in the match-day squad.
Goalkeeper Iker Casillas gives Coentrao a double take, but even after he explains the situation to the Portugal defender it just doesn’t seem to sink in that he is not supposed to be there. Even Jose Mourinho gets a good laugh out of his blunder, and let’s face it, smiles have been in short supply at Madrid lately.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s reaction says all you need to know about what he thinks about Coentrao — even he knows his close friend isn’t too bright sometimes.
In a massive group wedding in China, 688 couples were married in total, with one couple standing out from the rest. In this particular marriage, the groom wore a Cristiano Ronaldo jersey while the bride wore a Lionel Messi jersey.
This is easily riskier and more forbidden than Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. These two lovebirds have crossed all kinds of cultural and geographical lines and are putting their true Real Madrid and Barcelona fandom to the test.
Here’s hoping they can keep their marriage intact after the next El Clasico.

Still mad about losing a fourth straight Ballon d’Or?
Cristiano Ronaldo was presented with a custom-made Ballon d’Or cake at the Portuguese national team’s training facility in Obidos, a sweet reminder that he’s still Number 1in the hearts of Portuguese bakers everywhere.
No news yet on whether or not Lionel Messi has broken into the facility and stepped on the cake.
Today’s clash of the giants saw Real Madrid advance past United into the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
After United went in front thanks to an own goal, the complexion of the tie changed completely after Nani’s controversial red card (see below).
