Paolo Maldini: 'All Milan's good work is being destroyed'

The former Milan great Paolo Maldini believes the struggling Serie A giants are destroying the progress made by the club over the last decade following an indifferent season at home and in Europe.
Clarence Seedorf's side are currently 11th in the standings after losing 4-2 at home to Parma on Sunday, leaving them 12 points off fifth spot and qualification for next season's Europa League with just 10 matches to play. Milan were also

Blanc says Paris must hit Chelsea at home

Paris St Germain coach Laurent Blanc said Friday that Chelsea will have a Champions League advantage by hosting the second match in their quarter final.
"We are going to prepare well for this double confrontation, we still have a little time" Blanc said in reaction to the quarter final draw.

Chelsea hit Arsenal for six to humiliate Arsène Wenger in his 1,000th game

Arsène Wenger's 1,000th game will always be remembered for The Mysterious Case of the Wrong Card, but Arsenal should probably just be grateful the sideshow was so intrusively farcical, and the refereeing so birdbrained, it might spare them even greater scrutiny of their own deficiencies. Ignore, for one moment, Andre Marriner's contribution to a wild and eccentric afternoon. The real story here was of Arsenal capitulating, once again, in one of the major fixtures.

As Fernando Torres turns 30 is it time he returned to Atlético Madrid?

 In the week of Fernando Torres's birthday, it can't have been much of a present to see Didier Drogba back at Chelsea. The Ivorian's visit with his current club Galatasaray brought with it tributes from José Mourinho, hugs from his former teammates and misty-eyed pre-match reminiscences. All around Stamford Bridge banners still hang that proclaim Drogba as one of the greatest to wear Chelsea blue, and few fans would have begrudged the old warhorse one last goal at the ground. Torres must know that he will never be taken to heart in the same way.
He has always seemed to exist in Drogba's giant shadow. Though he was signed for £50m in January 2011, the sort of fee that

Manchester United's Robin van Persie fears missing World Cup

 

Robin van Persie may not play for Manchester United again this season because of a sprained knee, with the striker concerned his World Cup hopes could be ruined if he returns too early.
Although the club stated that the Dutchman would miss "four to six weeks", it is understood that Van Persie, who had the injury rescanned in Holland on Friday, has been informed of the need for caution. The striker is to undergo treatment on the knee and, even if Van Persie waits the full six weeks, which would take him into early May, he will have to be very careful returning then so as not to compromise playing for Holland at Brazil 2014.
