Milan was blocked by Juventus

AC Milan 1 - 1 Juventus

MILAN - At San Siro it finished Milan-Juventus 1-1 in the Sunday evening match of the 35th matchday of Serie A. The Rossoneri went in front in the 57th minute with Clarence Seedorf's goal, Juventus drew in the 60th minute with Vincenzo Iaquinta's goal.

After a very tactical and blocked first half, the two teams return on the pitch with the same formations. Juventus attacked very well, with Iaquinta and Amauri always dangerous.

Milan does not find spaces where to launch Kaka and Juventus often opt for long balls for the attackers. Only a quick counter attack allowed Milan to take the lead. In fact Inzaghi overcame the offside line in the 57th minute and read very well Ambrosini’s movement who shot weakly. However, Seedorf is good to be on the ball’s trajectory and beat Buffon.

However, the lead of the Rossoneri lasted only four minutes, because Iaquinta, following a perfect cross by Camoranesi, managed to head past Kalac.

The final minutes of the game are authentic and continuous attacks and counter attacks with two teams wanting to make full points. In the 85th minute a nice shot by Pato is rebounded in the penalty area, whereas on the other hand is always very dangerous. Ronaldinho and Pirlo tried, but the three point hit did not arrive.

La Liga: Barca draw against Villareal

Barcelona 3-3 Villareal

Barcelona were made to wait for a first piece of silverware under Pep Guardiola as they let a two-goal lead slip at home to Villarreal in the Primera Liga this evening.

Barca had all but wrapped up the title following last weekend's incredible 6-2 win at Real Madrid, a which result saw the Catalans move seven points clear of their fierce rivals with just four games remaining. And Madrid's 3-0 defeat at Valencia last night meant Guardiola's side could seal their first trophy of what has been an amazing season today.Seydou Keita's deflected effort gave Barca an early lead, and although Joseba Llorente equalised 10 minutes later, the home side took a two-goal lead in at the break thanks to strikes from Samuel Eto'o and Dani Alves.

And they were cruising in the second half until Eric Abidal was dismissed for the second time in five days with 14 minutes left. Mati Fernandez converted the resulting spot-kick and Llorente crashed home a dramatic late equaliser to silence an expectant home crowd deep into injury time.

There was a carnival atmosphere inside a packed Nou Camp as Barca set out to win their first piece of silverware this season.

Bayern Munich

FC Bayern Munich (German: Fußball-Club Bayern München) is a German sports club based in Munich, Bavaria. It is best known for its professional football team, which is the most successful club in German football, having won 21 German titles and 14 cups.

The club was founded in 1900 by eleven football players led by Franz John. Although Bayern won its first national championship in 1932, the club was not selected for the Bundesliga at its inception in 1963. In the middle of the 1970s, the club had its period of greatest success, when the famous team led by Franz Beckenbauer won the European Cup three times in a row (1974–76). In recent years they have been by far the most successful team in German football, winning seven of the last ten championships. The club's last international title was the Intercontinental Cup in 2001.

The Allianz Arena

The Allianz Arena is a mere three years old. Following on from the Grünwald Stadium and later the Olympic Stadium, the new ground in the north of Munich is the third home venue in Bayern’s long Bundesliga history, and certainly the most spectacular. Europe’s most modern stadium, with a capacity of nearly 70,000, has already established itself in the collective conscience of football fans all over the world within a short timescale.

German BundesLiga

The Bundesliga is the highest level of Germany's football league system. The term Bundesliga also applies to football in Austria and is used to refer to the highest level league competitions in several other sports in those two countries.

Germany was unusual, in that, unlike in other countries, a unified national league structure was quite late in developing. The Bundesliga was not formed until 1963 and the structure and organisation of the nation's football leagues have undergone frequent changes right up to the present day. The league was originally founded by the German Football Association, but is now operated by the Deutsche Fußball Liga.

Every team in the two Bundesligen must have a licence to play in the league, or else they are relegated into the regional leagues. To obtain a licence, teams must be financially healthy and meet certain standards of conduct as organisations.

nternationally, the most well-known German clubs include Bayern Munich, Hamburger SV, Borussia Dortmund, FC Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen. Hamburger SV can lay claim to being the only club that has played continuously in the Bundesliga since its foundation.
