For the first leg of the first semifinal of the Champions League ,Manchester City and Real Madrid matched scoreless in a very loose game at the Etihad Stadium.
The first half was forgettable. Two unknown, inaccurate equipment, without connections, without territorial domain and unserifed the arches. The local had some individual bursts of Kevin De Bruyne and little else, his best men were Nicolas Otamendi and Vincent Kompany who controlled smoothly to a trio of attack without spark. On the visitor side, Casemiro annulled the opponent 's midfield, Sergio Ramos to Sergio Aguero , while both Tony Kross as Luka Modric tried to be who carried the baton but nobody accompanied and the field to the arch rival left them long. It was noted that low Cristiano Ronaldo at the last minute was a blow to assimilate.
The second half started the same, although with Real Madrid a little more advanced and City betting on the speed of Kelechi Iheanacho , Aguero and De Bruyne. But both Keylor Navas as Joe Hart did not see action until 70 minutes when it appeared the first play strake Merengue with Kross as shaft ended with a head zo of Jesse Rodriguez who hit the crossbar . That play gave him confidence to Madrid began to attack more willingly and with Gareth Bale who went on and better accompanied Kross and Modric .
So much so that the Welshman got a corner in the 78th minute almost concrete Casemiro head if it were not for Hart and reflexes. Three minutes later, and also corner, Pepe shook blank range Citizen goalkeeper who again responded dramatically to support his team in a match. At the end De Bruyne pushed and gave the only chance his team , which Navas pulled to a corner.
In conclusion, a forgettable game that both had too much respect and in which Real Madrid recently reacted to the last but not reached. There are 90 minutes in Madrid to improve and demonstrate why they deserve to be in the final of the most important tournament old continent at club level.

Hillsborough tragedy was not an accident
A jury has ruled that the 96 Liverpool fans who died in the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 killed illegally. The six women and three men ended their deliberations on Monday, after considering more than two years of testing during the investigation of the events of the FA Cup match of April 15, 1989 between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
The decision comes after years of campaigning by the families of the victims, seeking to clarify the real causes of the tragedy. Coroner John Golding said he accepted the theory that most of the 96 people were killed illegally and the jury unanimously agreed after hearing answers to 13 other questions about the disaster.
The jury also determined that the behavior of the fans in the stadium contributed to the catastrophe. Members are proof that the police chief of South Yorkshire, David Duckenfield, "was responsible for manslaughter through gross negligence in these 96 people."
To test this gross negligence, the jury had to have evidence of a breach of attention to the people who attended the party by Duckenfield. Jurors also agreed that the police and ambulances made errors in their response to the incident, which may have contributed to the loss of more lives.
A total of 96 people were fatally injured in the avalanche in Leppings Lane, while 766 were injured. Among the dead were people between 10 and 67 years, including 37 adolescents and 26 parents.
The latest investigation was opened after the Supreme Court in 2012 invalidated a verdict of accidental death, which was reached after an initial investigation between 1990 and 1991.
Families of the victims campaigned for the release of documents that could provide detailed information on the events, including whether any of the victims could have been saved if they had received medical treatment faster.
Prime Minister David Cameron issued an apology on behalf of the British government after the 2012 report showed that police and emergency services had made "tremendous efforts" to blame the disaster on Liverpool fans.

Bayern - Atletico Madrid ... in 1974
Atletico Madrid will face against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinal. There is only one precedent of confrontation between the two teams, and ended badly for the rojiblancos, although today it is remembered as something heroic.
They had sweated ink to get there. Not only they were imposed on the Liga Spanish last year , a feat already remarkable, but had to stop on the way to some of the best in Europe . Galatasaray very tough in the first round, resolved in overtime; the only slightly more affordable Dinamo Bucharest later; the fearsome Red Star in the quarterfinals; and especially Glasgow Celtic, one of the giants of the time, it sold very expensive semifinal.
But there was the Atletico Madrid , cited the story in the old Heysel in Brussels, willing to take the first European Cup to his credit . Opposite, another rookie in these conflicts, but whose name commanded respect: Bayern Munich , with Beckenbauer, Müller, Maier and other people as talented as unpronounceable.
Respect, yes, but not fear, that the rojiblancos were far less lame . Was Queen , Don Miguel, the father of Pepe, covering the goal. Was Cacho Heredia , the Argentine tank, leading a defense as impregnable as the current one . He was Adelardo , the great captain, escorting a certain Luis Aragones in midfield. It was the swiftest Irureta with Garate , perhaps the most elegant football player Spanish football has seen, and the Spanish-Brazilian magic Ufarte on the front of attack. Despite the low (Ayala and Baker Diaz were sanctioned after the riots in Glasgow), the outfit led by Juan Carlos Lorenzo from the bench could trust his chances.
He also played 15 May, the day of San Isidro , patron of the city of Madrid. Thousands of Spanish fans, many of them immigrants, packed the stands of the Belgian stadium. Everything seemed propitious to shield the Bear and the Madroño reign on the continent. The Germans, of course, also craved victory and were not going to put anything easy. Hence, after a very tactical game and, why not say, somewhat boring, it was reached at the end of 90 minutes 0-0 for the first time in the history of the old European Cup.
The extension passed along the same path until a flash of genius would decant into the Spanish side. Foul on the edge of the area, skewed to the left of the goal Maier. Ideal for zapatón right - hander Luis Aragones. The Hortaleza settled the ball on the ground, took some career, kicked , and when the ball was still flying the barrier, luxury jumping for joy celebrating the goal, more cool than eight wearing the shirt was allowed. A second later, the ball is dug into the top corner.
With 1-0 on the scoreboard and only seven minutes left, the Atleti and looked winner . Bayern, wounded pride, strove to avoid such a glorious end to the locals as painful for them. In this that, seconds before the whistle craved, he dropped ball at his feet to Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck central defender as powerful as difficult to name. He walked without anyone being able to stop them after two hours of football, and when he was forty meters from the goal of Queen gave a ball, to see what happened . It happened that he came the shot of his life, satin, next to the post, impossible to stop, and the match ended with a tie .
Louis himself would spend years reproaching himself not to have retained the ball in the corner to waste time and have left that mission Garate, "too good person", whom they stole it fast. The number 9 never forgave not have scored a second goal shortly before , despite the cramps just allow him to stand. Adelardo regret having gone to make another rival and have not been in place in the midfield, where perhaps could have hinder the pitcher. Miguel Reina suffers every time he remembers that failed narrowly to stop the shot . If it still hurts so many years later, at the time the pain had to be terrible.
They were, of course, the ideal conditions to face a penalty shootout, but if there had been, the Atleti would still have been able to entrust the fate that had just left. Unfortunately, at that time the habit of solving end from the spot was not yet widespread. The UEFA decided that the party had to repeat the same scenario, a couple of days later.
With tempers tatters after having been so close and have seen how escaped, this second assault was more of a slaughter in which the Bavarians, the same that formed the basis of the German world champion a few months later, no they had mercy. Two of Müller, two Hoeness , and the cup for the trophy room of the Olympiastadion. For history is, however, the feat of having got there and touching the sky for seven minutes.
