Munich Defeats City as they win Audi Cup in Allianz, RMA takes revenge on Champions League 11/12 Loss

Equaliser: Thomas Muller slots home his penalty to bring Bayern Munich level
The English side is defeated once more, with The Bavarians dominating the match with roughly 73% in the first half, and with them winning 2-1. Bayern Munich looks like they thurn the tables round in Allianz Arena with a delightful comeback of two goals which are credited two Thomas Muller's penalty and Mario Mandzukic's goal (65', 72'). Munich had successfully turned it over, with City scoring on the 61st, Thanks to City's new recruit, Alvaro Negredo. It was a great match, looking like the German side won't get scored, due to their domination of the ball in the first half but in fact, the English side scored before them, with a more superb goal than two of Munich's goals. German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was exceptional, handing tons of great saves for Munich, while Muller and Mandzukic also contributed a lot to their win and some other key players to Munich's win were Alaba, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, and not to mention The 2012/13 final MoM (Man of the Match), Dutch winger Arjen Robben. The first goal was for The Citizens, with their new recruit Alvaro Negredo scoring a wonderfuul goal with great pace and power used to go through Javi Martinez the striking the ball low and hard, finding itself on the net. Just after the goal, Guardiola looked quite angry, you can say, nestling after the goal that left his team behind. Just 4 minutes later, Die Roten equalized with Thomas Muller's  penalty after Argentinian Right-back Pablo Zabaleta's hand-ball inside the penalty box. Pablo was just plain silly, he didn't even bother to look at the ball. Muller didn't waste the huge opportunity and calmly put the ball in the net, sending Pantilimon to the wrong direction. All of us know what actually happens when Germans take penalties. I say it's a colossal mistake for every single team to foul inside the penalty box against a German team. Foul a German team inside the penalty box. Conclusion: Very bad. I say there is an 85% chance that (they) will score. Now, for the next goal, The Bavarians had it again. With a sublime cross from Muller, the ball found itself too far to reach for Boyata. Hungry for a goal, Mandzukic headed the ball in City's net.

For Real Madrid vs Chelsea, both head coaches Carlo Ancelotti from Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho from Chelsea saw familiar foes. The precise score was 3-1 for Madrid with Real Madrid defender Marcelo taking the Spanish team to the lead in the early point of the game, the 14th minute. Just less than a minute after that goal, The Blues responded from Ramires almost immediatly. With the game level, Portuguese all-star Cristiano Ronaldo scored a tredemark 25-yard goal that Chelsea keeper Petr Cech trying to reach it with his fingertip on the 31st, raising the noise of the Miami crowd. The Blues looked like they didn't want to lose, and out of many tries, Belgian star Eden Hazard missed another golden opportunity. At the 56th, CR7 scored against his former coach's team the second time, with Real winning the friendly pre-season match. Thanks for reading, come back for more football news.

Manchester City Buries A.C Milan, Munchen Beats Sao Paolo as Both teams Meet in the Finals in Minor Audi Cup

Edin Dzeko is challenged by Kevin Constant.
Manchester City vs A.C Milan wasn't a tense match, but it was a hard fought comeback that wasn't enough to beat the English giants. With eight goals all on the first half, the score was 5-3. It was a hard match for Milan, with the Italian side losing 5-0 in the first 39 minutes but on the last eleven minutes, three goals were scored (37', 39', 43') but all those three-goal effort definitely wasn't enough for beating Manchester City's goal party (3', 19', 22', 32', 36'), but as every person says, at least you tried. The first half was quite a sensational half, with an eight goal party, starting from David Silva's ball that went comfortably in the net. It was an easy goal, starting from a great passing display. Navas then receives the ball, beats his man, whips it to Jovetic, Jovetic passes the ball to silva and the first goal of the match was born. (The goals are in order so if you are wondering in which minute the goal was scored you can just match it with the minutes I wrote. The next goal was scored by Micah Richards. It was another goal that was too easy for City. Starting from a pass from Richards to Navas, Navas quickly cuts inside the box and plays the ball to Ferdinanho. Richards then again gets the ball, strikes it to Amelia's chest, but successfully converted the rebound. Games like this will never ever get any easier for Manchester City. The next goal came from Serb left back Aleksandar Kolarov. City then earns a corner, a new start of their fourth goal with Navas executing it. The ball then lands on Spaniard David Silva. He splits the defense just like how Moses split the Red Sea then sends Navas running down the right. The winger then whacks it with a powerful strike and Edin Dzeko finishes it by tapping the ball back the post. The next goal was assisted by Yaya Toure. This might sound a little crazy, but jeez, Yaya Toure struckthe ball from 30 yards! The ball ended up on Dzeko's chest, with him spinning around then volleying the ball to the net with Amelia not having the power to anticipate it. The comeback is on, baby! El Shaarawy cleans out of the heavy defense, the scores. Nothing the English keeper Joe Hart can actually do. Aleksandar Kolarov took down a barging Milan player. Looks like he just stopped Petagna. Unfortunate for City, Shaarawy is unstoppable. He nailed yet his second goal of the day. Petagna then ended the sensational half with a goal to City's net. The second half was completely boring, with no goals.

For Bayern Munich vs Sao Paulo, it was a fun match, with a two goal cushion for Munich, which means that both City and Munich are meeting each other face to face at the Audi Cup finals. The match was quite an easy one for The Bavarians, with both goals on the second half (55',86') each scored by a different person. The first goal was scored by Mario Mandzukic while the second was scored by Weiser. Thanks for reading, come back for more football news.

R.I.P Christian "Chucho" Benitez

Thousands bid farewell to late Ecuador star
Ecuadorian star and Mexico's top scorer for last season, Christian "Chucho" Benitez suddenly passes away at 27 while playing his first league match with El-Jaish due to heart failure. Chucho had complained that he had heavy pains in his abdomen, which caused the team's crew to take him to a hospital nearby the stadium at Doha, Qatar. Christian passed away 4 days ago at Ahli hospital. His 24 international goals for Ecuador made him 3rd place in the overall, and the Ecuadorian star passed away just three weeks ago. Manchester United player Antonio Valencia who played alongside Chucho in Ecuadorian team El Nacional tweeted "The pain is very strong brother but we love you" and posted a few respective pictures for him (Chucho). Interior Minister of team Jose Serrano commented on a micro-blogging site "Dear Chucho thank you for your goals and your happiness". The team didn't bother to take him (Chucho) and family back to Ecuador to bury him in a glass coffin with fans looking over his glass coffin partly covered by Ecuador's national flag. Chucho's aunt, Brenda Benitez requested one last autopsy "In order for the country to have clarity, for the speculation to stop".
My condolences to Christian "Chucho" Benitez and family, Rest In Peace Christian Benitez.
