It was a huge weekend in Italy and Spain as both Inter Milan and Barcelona clinched their respective leagues on saturday.
Inter Milan players were so excited by clinching the Italian title that they took an impromptu open top bus to the city centre in the early hours of Sunday morning. AC Milan’s 2-1 defeat at Udinese on Saturday handed Inter their 17th scudetto and fourth in a row.
Inter, who still have three games left to play, were supposed to celebrate at their training ground but made a late decision to take a bus to Piazza Duomo, the city’s main square, where thousands of flag-waving fans were waiting.

The champagne is on icne across Europe where as many as 12 teams could win their respective league titles.While most of the focus will be on England, Spain and Italy, fans will be celebrating title victories in countries like Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Georgia and Hungary.
UEFA Champions League finalists Manchester United and Barcelona need just a point from their respective games against Arsenal and Mallorca, while Jose Mourinho can win his fifth consecutive league title, with his third team in three countries. That is probably a record that will not be beaten anytime soon.

It was an entertaining weekend in Europe as Manchester United, Barcelona and Inter Milan all took massive steps towards winning their respective titles.
Barcelona’s 6-2 thumping of hated rival Real Madrid on Saturday was the victory that effectively wrapped up the La Liga title. Even more impressive than the score was the way that Pep Guardiola’s troops recovered from going a goal behind to humiliate Real with a display of superiority that showcased why they are the best team in Europe.

In a surprising move, David Beckham has been included in AC Milan’s Uefa Cup squad despite technically only being able to play in two of their games.
Beckham’s loan spell with AC Milan is set to end on 9 March, at which point he is due to return to the LA Galaxy.
But the Italian giants have made no secret of their desire to keep the 33-year-old and his inclusion has added to rumours that he may stay beyond March.
Beckham again starred for his new club as they beat Lazio 3-0 on Sunday. The England midfielder set up two goals as the Rossoneri closed the gap on Serie A leaders Inter Milan to six points.

David Beckham lay the groundwork for him opting out of his contract with LA Galaxy next October during his introduction to the Italian media today.
Beckham said that he has missed playing football “at the highest level”. Specifically what he said was:
“But I have always said that I would always miss playing at the highest level. I’m not saying that in America they won’t get to the highest level – it will take time and it will happen. But with five months off during the season I personally can’t do that.

Anyone who has ever seen Ben Affleck and J-Lo’s classically pitiful cinematic plutonium bomb, Gigli, knows that its one of the worst movies ever painfully recorded on film. It’s so bad, it makes Affleck’s horrible holiday follow up, Surviving Christmas, look like It’s a Wonderful Life.
Gigli is the punch line for many, many jokes. It’s universally regarded as perhaps the most abhorrent waste of money the film industry has ever seen. It’s Hindenberg bad. It’s Costner bad. It’s possibly worse than some tropical diseases bad. Just ask Affleck. Even he’ll tell you.
I have a joke for you about Gigli though…
