    The 0-0 draw between Barca and Juve was pretty gripping, mostly because everyone was waiting for the first Barca goal to start the comeback, which never came.

    Rashford with the winner in extra time. He had a nice assist and then did well at center forward after Ibra got hurt.

    Still shots of how Ibra landed on that knee did not look good at all.

    Even so, as good as he has been, could be a blessing in disguise as Rashford is best at center forward.

    Pogba was a beast. He can be maddening with the way that he waits for the defenders to close in on him rather than running, but he bossed that game. And while the 'fro doesn't play the beautiful game, he gives 100% effort.

    Lots of ACL rumors floating around. None confirmed by the club yet.

    The rumors are ACL and MCL, which is damn near career ending at his age, even as good of a shape as he is in. If true, he's likely out much of next season.

    intesting dance for United -- they are so depleted and have such a busy schedule that the rational play is to rest their players for the Europa League, but it's a huge risk. But top 4 in the league is within reach.

    Liked a tweet someone sent to the Men in Blazers (paraphrasing): In the way they refer to the Achilles' tendon, the ACL will now be known as Zlatan's Ligament.

    I'm doing an explainer this week on ACL surgery and rehab, so tragically this injury makes it timely.

    I assume that Ray Hudson is naked from the waist down calling El Classico. Even by his terms, he is ridiculously over the top 13 minutes in.

    Crazy end to El Classico. No reason for a 10 men Madrid to chase the win there when a tie would have basically wrapped up the league.

    500 goals with Barca for the greatest player in the world.
