Jurgen Klopp's Dortmund survive Mourinho's Madrid flurry to reach Final

  

Unfancied by some, Dortmund’s triumph against Jose Mourinho’s s Real came in two forms: devastating attack at home, measured, concentrated defence away - at least until those last few scrambled minutes. If they are the coming team, Real and Mourinho are going — their separate ways probably. This was a second consecutive semi-final failure at home. It was Bayern last year.

Remontada historicas — historic comebacks — was the theme Real have pushed since last Wednesday.  Madrid have come back from some serious deficits in the past, including being 4-1 down against Derby County in 1976 and winning 5-1 in extra-time at home.

Craziest Things to Ever Happen in a Sports Locker Room

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas so what happens behind closed doors should stay behind closed doors. Unfortunately for the sportsmen we will be discussing, sometimes it doesn't.

We would be naive to believe that it's all sunshine and rainbows in professional sports locker rooms. Just like any group of people who work closely together for far too many hours in the course of a week, there are bound to be scuffles and disagreements. It's human nature.

And now that the NFL plans to install cameras in home-team locker rooms beginning in 2013, we're bound to have a lot more stories like these at this time next year.

Sportunes will from time to time bring to your know the scuffles and disagreements that have refused to stay behind those sealed doors.

Jason Collins has become the first active player in the NBA to come out as gay.

The 34-year-old, who played most recently for the Washington Wizards in an NBA career spanning 12 seasons and six teams, came out in an article with Sports Illustrated magazine.

'I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, 'I'm different.'

Eight is great! Nadal the king in Barcelona once more after seeing off Almagro in final

Rafael Nadal won the Barcelona Open for the eighth time Sunday after seeing off Nicolas Almagro 6-4, 6-3 in the final.  Almagro played aggressively early on and built a 3-0 lead, but Nadal found his form and broke his fellow Spaniard in three of his next four service games to take the initiative - and he held it for good.

It was Nadal's 54th career title and fourth this year, having made six straight finals after returning from a knee injury that had kept him off the courts since last summer.

Robin van Persie earned a point for Barclays Premier League champions Manchester United in a 1-1 draw on his return to Arsenal.

The former Gunners captain received the expected hot reception as soon as he stepped out at the Emirates Stadium for a guard of honour, which was impeccably observed by the Arsenal team to mark United's achievements in marching to a 20th championship.

After making his way off the Manchester United team bus, Van Persie walked towards the Arsenal dressing room before realising his error, slapping his forehead and making his way to the away dressing room, sporting an embarrassed smile.

Game over! QPR AND READING DROWN IN RELEGATION WATERS

Reading and QPR were both relegated from the Barclays Premier League today with neither side able to secure the win they required at the Madejski Stadium to still have an outside chance of surviving. In a game bereft of quality both sides were guilty of wasting the few chances that fell their way as they both bowed out of the top flight with a whimper.

A win for either would have kept them mathematically in the hunt for survival and relegated the losers, whereas the draw condemned both clubs to the npower Championship.

SPORTS FANS WHO RUINED SPORTS

Sporting events have one thing in common with concerts: A few douchebag fans can ruin everything. They're running onto the field, they're blowing some kind of plastic horn in your ear, they're throwing sh*t down onto the playing surface.

It kind of makes you stop and wonder, who the hell started this? And why did other people decide to copy it?

Athletes Whose Personalities Overshadow Their Talent

Sometimes, it's fine when athletes use their larger-than-life personalities to make names for themselves, especially when they don't have the talent to do their talking on the court or on the field.
Professional sports are filled with Good Guy types who make us laugh, sometimes make us cry (in a good way) and give us moments that we'll never forget.

But professional sports are also filled with suspect characters who will forever be known for something entirely unrelated to their jobs—like, for instance, bringing a gun to the locker room or just being really, really dumb. Because of those indiscreet identifiers, nobody really remembers much of anything that has to do with their talent.

In this column we are going to be looking at the guys who will forever be known for their personalities rather than their skills—the good, the bad and the ugly.

Champions League - Lewandowski smashes four as Dortmund rout Madrid


                    Robert Lewandowski celebrates his fourth goal (AFP)

Real Madrid look destined to suffer a third Champions League semi-final defeat in three seasons after conceding four goals to Robert Lewandowski in a remarkable 4-1 first-leg defeat away at Borussia Dortmund.

Mario Goetze's imminent record transfer to Bayern Munich had dominated the build-up to the contest and it was feared, would distract Dortmund from the task at hand. But Lewandowski produced one of the most destructive performances ever seen in the latter stages of the competition, slaying Madrid in a compelling demonstration of centre-forward play.

Oklahoma City Thunder – Kevin Durant Is Staying Second Best


                   

So Kevin Durant is sick of being second best. It doesn’t change the fact that he is just that at the moment. His team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, are inferior to the Miami Heat until proven otherwise, and he himself isn’t as good as LeBron James, and all of his motivation and obsession to become better than everyone else isn’t going to help.

MOST SPECTACULAR BREAKDOWNS IN SPORTS HISTORY

In every sport, there is nothing more uncomfortable or embarrassing to watch than a meltdown; that single moment when an athlete finally absorbs all the criticism, the pressure, the boos in the stadium and just emotionally malfunctions.

Novak Djokovic Will be Remembered as Better Than Rafael Nadal


The situation for Rafael Nadal at this stage of his career is quite different than it is for Novak Djokovic. Unless what we saw in the Monte Carlo final was a rusty Nadal who still needs more time to find his way back to the top of the game, this is as good as it gets. A final on clay, with the world’s number one standing in his way. When the careers of both men will be over, the Serb will be remembered as the better player.

Tim Duncan Was *ThisClose* to Becoming a Swimmer 
         
                    

If you're surprised that Spurs ageless superstar forward Tim Duncan is a man of many talents, then obviously you just don't know Tim Duncan. He's been one of the most quietly dominant forces in the NBA for 15 years, but basketball isn't the only sport he has excelled at.
Duncan was born and raised on the U.S. Virgin Island of St. Croix, where swimming was a more natural fit for his and his two older sisters' natural athleticism. By the age of 13 Duncan was already a world-class swimmer with Olympic dreams who had already broken a number of world records.

But when Hurricane Hugo hit the island, his swim team's pool and facilities were decimated, which required practices to be moved to the ocean for a period of time. Duncan immediately began skipping practices and ultimately gave up the sport entirely due to an extreme, but understandable, phobia of sharks.
A promising young swimmer may have been lost.
Thankfully, swimming's loss was the NBA's gain.

Nike Is Removing This 'Boston Massacre' T-Shirt From Its Outlets
