KUALA LUMPUR - Perlis kembali merampas takhta Liga Super daripada Selangor hasil kejayaan menewaskan Pulau Pinang 3-0 di Stadium Utama, Kangar, semalam.

If the showdown between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in Rome was genuine and credible to determine who is the best player in the world, then the Argentine has won by a mile.

PERLIS terus gah menambah koleksi kemenangannya dalam saingan Liga Super dan malam tadi, skuad Singa Utara menundukkan Kelantan 2-1 di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil.

KUALA LUMPUR - Perlis masih mengungguli tangga teratas Liga Super tetapi hanya dengan kelebihan satu mata selepas membenam cabaran Kelantan 2-0 di Stadium Utama, Kangar semalam.

Manchester United captured their 18th English league title on Saturday when they secured the point they needed in a nervy 0-0 draw at home to Arsenal.

Joan Laporta said on Tuesday night that Barcelona against Manchester United was the "dream final". But then he would say that. He is, after all, the president of Barcelona and he had just sat at the Emirates watching United tear Arsenal apart, less than 24 hours before his side faced Chelsea for a place in Rome. He was not so much articulating a dream final as articulating his dream of being in the final. United came as part of the package, not a personal preference.

Relegation battlers Middesbrough brought Justin Hoyte into their back-line in place of Andrew Taylor. Premier League leaders Manchester United, meanwhile, made seven changes to their Champions League XI. Jonny Evans came in for Rio Ferdinand, as expected, with Cristiano Ronaldo starting on the bench and Michael Carrick rested completely. Ji-Sung Park and Federico Macheda started, alongside veteran pair Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.
