• Xavi stated Barcelona have enough squad depth to continue in their ways without their first choice center back pairing on the pitch, ie. Gerard Pique and Carlos Puyol, even though having scraped a home 3-2 win against Spartak Moscow thanks to Lionel Messi. 
• The fact that Madrid's first group game on this occasion – a 3-2 win against Manchester City FC – was won in the dying embers of the match is the first sign that Mourinho and his team may have learned their lessons. They still must be considered one of, if not the team to beat.
• Manchester City looking to maintain their impressive 15-match unbeaten home record when hosting Dortmund.

WSOPE: €1,100 NL Hold'em Winner - €126,207 Prize

Antonio Esfandiari entered the final table with the chip lead and was primed to capture his third bracelet, but he was joined by some stiff competition including five Frenchman looking to become the first ever to win a bracelet at the WSOP Europe. After Day 1a chip leader Ashly Butler was sent home in seventh place, the clock ticked over to Level 21 and that is when action folded around to McLean Karr on the button and he moved all in for right around 170,000. Esfandiari then moved all in over the top from the small blind, the big blind got out of the way, and the cards were flipped on their backs.

"Jack," Karr said in hopes of picking up an open-ended straight draw. "OK, now a jack," he added after the turn gave him a gutshot. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the blanked. Karr shook hands with Esfandiari and then exited the stage in sixth place, good for €24,309.

Esfandiari, who by this point had taken over the WSOP Player of the Year lead, managed to make it all the way to heads-up play against Frenchman Remi Bollengier. Esfandiari was searching for his third piece of WSOP gold, while Bollengier hoped to become the first French player to ever win a WSOP Europe bracelet. Esfandiari held a slight lead when the match began, and he never relinquished it on his way to victory.

In the final hand, Esfandiari opened for 33,000 on the button and was called by Bollengier, bringing about a flop of . Bollengier checked, Esfandiari bet 37,000, Bollengier check-raised to 91,000, and Esfandiari made the call. When the turned, Bollengier check-called a bet of 126,000 and then checked the river. Esfandiari took about 15 seconds before announcing that he was all in, and Bollengier, who had 525,000 behind, shifted in his chair. The Frenchman tanked for a solid five minutes before whispering, "I call."

Esfandiari proudly rolled over and immediately headed over to his supporters on the rail to celebrate. Bollengier's face said it all as he sheepishly flipped over .

Michael Phelps & Texas Hold'em

The "Baltimore Shark" has recently decided to take poker seriously. “I do not want to be just a mere spectator to the active table, but want to be able to demonstrate the ability to be a winner in this new dimension called poker texas hold'em”. 

Michael Phelps is determined  to try to embark on an exciting new career in the world of poker, led by a master of the caliber of Antonio Esfandiari, his long-known friend and now his personal poker coach. 

Lessons that are clearly paying off, as the more time the Olympic champion is spending, the more worth are the poker tables, showing they have the qualities to make this passion his new business. 

However, the strongest swimmer in history, discovered poker at the time of the University, and was introduced to him by the professional player Jeff Gross. Poker is not just a completely new matter for him, in fact, in 2008 was able to place well in ITM, his first and only flag in career to date, in an event played at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, where he won $ 5.200 after paying a buy-in of $ 1,500. 

Recently, however, Michael Phelps was back in action at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, where he sat at one of several tables poker cash game in the casino poker room, closing the evening with a merit 10 and praise in the report card. The same American athlete on Twitter joked of his happy adventure poker, because the swimming champion at the end of the evening got up with a nice stash of chips, which allowed him to close with a profit of $ 100,000. Not bad for a novice player isn't it? 

If this is the result of the first teachings of Antonio Esfandiari in the coming months under the guidance of the most successful poker player of all time and first in the worldwide All Time Money List, such goals that Michael Phelps can never reach. Maybe Phelps’ll be the very first athlete to be able to win something significant in the world of Texas Hold'em.
