On this day in 2011, Brendan Rodgers’ Swansea City became the first Welsh team to play in the Premier League when they paid a visit to Manchester City at Etihad in the 2011-12 season opener. Swansea did play in England’s top flight league between 1981 to 1983, but no club, outside England, had reached the Premier League since its formation in 1992.

Having finished third in the Championship prior to the 2011-12 season, Swansea defeated Nottingham Forest in the semi-final of the Championship playoffs, before getting the better of Reading by four goals to two in the final at Wembley, with Scott Sinclair scoring a hattrick. Ahead of their first Premier League campaign, Swansea signed striker Danny Graham from Watford for the club’s then record fee £3.5 million.

Their opening game was a complete disaster as they were scheduled to play one of the title challengers, Manchester City. They somehow managed to keep the scoreline intact at 0-0 until half-time, but soon after the restart, Cityzens showed their domination, with goals from Edin Džeko, Sergio Agüero and David Silva handing City a 4-0 win.

On this day in 2009, Barcelona and Inter Milan agreed one of the greatest swap deals in footballing history which saw the Swedish sensation Zlatan Ibrahimovic move to Barcelona, while Samuel Eto’o travelled to Italy, joining Inter Milan. Barcelona also offered Alexander Hleb for a season-long loan, but the German international rather decided to make a move back to his former club VfB Stuttgart.

Zlatan underwent his medical on this date in 2009 and completed his €46 million move to Camp Nou. His total fee was touted to be around €66 million as Eto’o was valued at €20 million. The Swede reported cost the Catalan a total of €69.8 million (including other fees), making him the then third most expensive footballer in history, behind Zindine Zidane (€76 million in 2001) and Cristiano Ronaldo (€94 million in 2009).

On this day in 2017, former AS Roma captain and legend Francesco Totti announced his retirement from international football, after earning 58 caps for the Italian national team.

Progressing through the ranks, Totti – while plying his trade with the U-16 Italian national team – reached the UEFA European Under-16 Championship in 1993. Just three years later, Totti helped young Azzurrinis to the UEFA Under-21 Championship triumph. He had to wait to four more years to earn his senior cap. With the Italians going into EURO 2000, Totti’s brilliant form came handy. In the semi-final round, against Netherlands, Totti calmly chipped in a fine penalty which was later branded as one of the “magic moments” of the tournament.

Meanwhile, Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola has been named as the assistant coach of Maurizio Sarri.

On this day in 2008, Brazil’s one of the most promising right-back, Dani Alves joined Barcelona for fee reported to be around £23 million, with about £7 million add-ons. His move from the fellow La Liga side Sevilla made the Brazilian full-back the then third-most expensive player for Barça. Furthermore, his four-year contract with the Catalan club had a whopping €90 million buy-back clause.

Only two years back, in 2006, Sevilla agreed a let Alves leave for Liverpool, but the transfer failed as the Merseyside club failed to match the £8m valuation of Sevilla. He eventually signed a new contract with the club, keeping him with the Sevillistas Los Rojiblancos until 2012. However, just a year later, the Brazilian expressed his desire by publically announcing that he wants to leave Sevilla for a bigger club. He later confirmed that his agent has been in England, negotiating a possible deal. Chelsea, reportedly, were an interesting party, but the Spanish outfit firmly rejected the Blues’ offer claiming that their offer was “way below what was expected.” Chelsea eventually settled for Juliano Belletti.

Just a year later, he moved Barcelona and the transfer worked wonders for the Brazilian. In his debut season with the Catalan club, he reached the Champions League final. Although he missed the final due to a suspension, Barcelona managed to defeat Manchester United 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Alves helped the Pep Guardiola-led Barcelona lift a treble in his very first season, winning the La Liga title, Copa Del Rey and the UEFA Champions League.

Courtesy of a brace from star man Ronaldo, Brazil didn’t sweat much in beating all-confident German battalion. Brazil, who were led by Cafu, had a perfect start to the tournament, as they won all three of their group stage games, getting the better of the likes of Turkey, Costa Rica and China. Germany, on the other hand, had a tough road to the final as they won two of their three group stage games while drawing one.

On this day in 2008, Spain – a team full of confidence – won their first Euro Cup since 1964 by beating Joachim Löw’s Germany at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna, Austria, in front of 51,000 spectators by one goal to nil.

Spain, who were drafted in group D, won all three of their group stage games, beating the likes of Russia, Sweden and Greece. While Germany, on the other hand, finished second in their group behind leaders Croatia – winning two of their three group stage games. Advancing to the quarterfinals, Spain were scheduled to face a phlegmatic Italian side which they won 4-0 on penalties. Germany locked horns against Portugal and emerged victorious, courtesy to the goals from Schweinsteiger, Klose and skipper Michael Ballack.

Spain then faced Russia and didn’t sweat much in defeating the then men in red. While it was a walk in the park for Spain, Germany had to break the sweat and needed an injury time goal from Philipp Lahm to beat Turkey 3-2.

Spain, who failed to qualify beyond the quarter-finals of any tournament in 24 years, came into the final without the tournament’s top-scorer David Villa due to a thigh injury. Germany, on the other hand, received a massive boost as their skipper – Michael Ballack – was given the green light to play the fixture. Spain started off brightly and tested Germany’s stopper Jens Lehmann early in the game. Righ-back Sergio Ramos delivered an inviting ball into the box and Fernando Torres rose high to connect a header, only to be denied by the frame of the post.

The deadlock was broken soon after the half-hour mark when Xavi played a delicious through ball in between Germany’s defenders and Fernando Torres matched it with a fine finish. Spain were continuously testing Germany’s patience, while at the same time, were defending brilliantly. The likes of David Silva and Sergio Ramos came close to scoring but firmly lacked the finished required.

The keeper is expected to join United as a free agent and is likely to sign a one-year deal.

Messi scored his first goal of the tournament against Nigeria.

Following Real Madrid’s Champions League triumph in the 2013-14 season – their first Champions League crown since 2002 – star man Cristiano Ronaldo was named as the UEFA Best Player in Europe on this day in 2014. The Portuguese starlet surpassed the likes of Manuel Neuer, Arjen Robben, Thomas Muller and Philipp Lahm to win the award.

A panel of 54 journalists was given the task to select the candidate, through an electronic system, and the Real Madrid starlet won all ends up, receiving 27 votes – 9 more than the second placed Manuel Neuer. Speaking after receiving the award from the French veteran Michel Platini, Ronaldo said:

“I’m really happy so I must say thanks to my team-mates because without the team, individual awards would not be possible. I don’t have this trophy in my museum, so my brother is going to put it there.”

Since the beginning of the award, Ronaldo became the third player to receive the honour, following the likes of Lionel Messi (2010/11), Andres Iniesta (2011/12) and Frank Ribery (2012/13). Ronaldo broke the then-record for goals, scoring 17, which was most by a player in a UEFA Champions League campaign and helped Real to lift their tenth Champions League crown.

Virat took to Instagram to reveal his G.O.A.T

On this day in 1968, one of the best defenders to have ever graced a footballing field, Paolo Maldini was born.

Considered as a pure no-nonsense defender, Paolo started his playing career with AC Milan and went on to play for the same club for the entirety of his career. Capable of playing anywhere across the defensive line, Maldini began his career as a right back, but with Milan already having Mauro Tassotti on that spot, manager Arrigo Sacchi deployed Maldini on left. Although he was a right-footed player, his tactical genius and ability of playing with both feet with equal effect allowed him to play anywhere on the defensive line.

Maldini was first given the reins of Milan in 1997 when both Franco Baresi’s and Mauro Tassotti’s retired. Although the club initially struggled under his leadership, they managed to reach the Coppa Italia final in 1998, but lost out the title to Lazio. For the Italian national team, Maldini made his debut as a 19-year-old in 1988. Plying his trade for the Gli Azzurri for a whopping 14 years, Maldini earned 126 caps, a record at that time. He also captain Italy for eight years and played 74 times as a captain, again a then-record. It was eventually surpassed by Fabio Cannavaro, in 2010.

Dinu’s body was found by the locals on the banks of River Meenachil near Kottayam.

On this day in 2006, one of the fiercest encounters in the history of football was played. In the round of 16 of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Portugal were scheduled to lock horns against Netherlands and in the game referee Valentin Ivanov issued four red cards and sixteen yellows, which till date is a FIFA-record of most number of cards in a match.

Portugal were in some form in the tournament as they won all three of their group matches, while Netherlands, on the other hand, won their opening two games before drawing their third fixture with Argentina. Netherlands have always been a tactical team and strategic game was duly expected from the two team. However, it soon turned out to be a complete physical battle. It all started within the first eight minutes of the game as Mark van Bommel and Khalid Boulahrouz of Netherlands booked their names in referee’s book.

The next player to be booked was Portugal midfielder Maniche, but he soon made it all up by giving his side a lead just three minutes after receiving the caution. Compatriot Costinha fouled Philip Cocu minutes after the goal and received his marching orders, became the first player of the game to be sent off, in the first minute of first-half’s extra-time.

400,000 Argentine pesos ($14,819) have been seized by the police.
