Caught! Mario Gotze takes a leak on Malaga’s stadium

Borussia Dortmund’s Mario Gotze was caught in the act of relieving himself during the team’s training at Malaga’s La Rosaleda Stadium prior to their 0-0 draw. The footage has since been broadcasted on Canal+ and Spanish TV.

Even after realizing he was caught on tape, Gotze still finished answering the call of nature before heading back on the pitch.

Think this gives Malaga some added incentive for payback? We’ll have to wait until the 2nd leg match next Tuesday to find out.

Real Madrid crushes Galatasaray, eyes semifinal berth

Real Madrid had a gameplan, and they executed it to perfection. The Spanish powerhouse was absolutely firing on all cylinders in their 3-0 dismantling of Galatasaray.

Cristiano Ronaldo began the scoring brigade with a perfectly timed chip shot over the oncoming keeper and the momentum stayed with the club for the entire match. As impressive as the Madrid attack was, their defense may have been even better.

Galatasaray has a tough hill to climb in the 2nd leg. They can only hope that their passionate fans can give them a home field advantage in next Tuesday’s match.

Galatasaray fans attack TV station after pundits pick Real Madrid to win

To say Galatasaray fans are on edge about their Champions League match against Real Madrid would be an understatement. After the TV channel Beyaz, located in Galatasaray’s home country of Turkey, had pundits choose Real Madrid to win in Wednesday’s clash, fans and supporters took matters into their own hands.

A contingent of about 40 fans showed up to the TV station to voice their disapproval. Matters escalated quickly, but luckily the fans were not able to get past the security guards into the building. According to a Turkish newspaper, however, one TV station employee was injured and taken to a local hospital.

There are many ways to show your passion, but this is probably not the best one.
