Captain's Example

Driving force; inspiration; captain fantastic: Cesc Fabregas is many things to Arsenal football club.

Perhaps the finest exponent of Arsene Wenger's nurturing approach to the beautiful game, Cesc returned to inspire Arsenal to a hard-fought victory that put the Gunners on the verge of the Premier League summit.

After scoring the game's opener, and masterminding the second, the influential Spaniard struck his 10th league goal of an already impressive season.

A convincing win on Wednesday night will see Arsenal top the table; a befitting throne for the Premier League's new king.

Cesc's on course for his best scoring season. Can he break the 15 goal barrier?

‘Dinho soars

As Inter strengthened its grip on the Scudetto, it was all or nothing for Juventus and the Rossoneri as the two teams went head-to-head.

Tight and tactical, this was a battle for the right to challenge Inter’s supremacy at the top. A defensive mistake left the Old Lady a goal down, the game and their title aspirations hanging in the balance.

Cue Ronaldinho and a sprinkle of Samba magic, two goals from the Brazilian magician ending the contest. The unmistakable smile says it all.

Can Ronaldinho inspire the Rossoneri to the Serie A title?

History is theirs

There are simply no more trophies left to win.

After 120 minutes of football in Abu Dhabi, Barcelona became the first side ever, to hold every single club trophy at once.

Pep Guardiola has led his team into history. No side has ever achieved this. And no team can ever beat it.

This victory is forever.

Feared Far and Wide

Black, brooding and with a V for victory slashed across its chest, Man U’s new strip has been engineered to inspire the away win – before a ball’s even been kicked.

Like the home strip, this kit is rooted in a century of history, with elements taken from the very first Old Trafford season of 1909/1910. It’s been designed to intimidate, with a blue chevron; black shirt, shorts and socks; and ‘The Theatre of Dreams Since 1910’ woven onto the inside label. It’s dark, menacing, and readies the team for another electrifying season.

The Buzz is back

Celtic have swarmed all over the Scottish Premier League title in recent years. Their hunt for further success sees the return of the famous bumblebee stripes to the new club kits for 2009/10.

While the classic home strip remains untouched, the team’s new away kit has the familiar bumblebee colours – volt green and black hoops wrapped around the shirt. On the waistband of the black shorts, a single star symbolises the team’s historic European win, and the 1888 date recalls the year the bhoys began.

The international kit has a white shirt with Celtic tartan shoulder panels; a pattern that also appears on the shorts and socks delivering a shot of national pride as they march into Europe in the new season.

Tradition Reborn

The 1980s. Juventus won 11 trophies in a single decade. Back then the shirt was black and white, but with narrower stripes than in recent years. This season the look returns, giving the club a striking appearance and a reignited passion for success.

On the inside of the home shirt, the label proudly shows off the Italian flag with a single lone ‘J’ woven into the centre. The away kit is just as simple: silver shirt, black and white sash, black shorts and Juventus stamped onto the calf of the white socks.

It’s all here in black-and-white. The Old Lady stands rejuvenated, ready for the launch of another glorious season.

An Empire will rise, an Empire will fall

In Rome on May 27, two football empires will collide. This season Manchester United and Barcelona won their league, both are playing for a third major trophy. And both have a rich history in Europe’s premier club competition.

Barcelona are the only team to play in every year of European competition since they started in 1955. At 11, they have the most consecutive wins in the competition. And this year they’re on for a treble of La Liga, Copa Del Rey and Europe’s greatest prize. All in Pep Guardiola’s first season as manager.

Manchester United have played in every year of European competition since 1994. In 1999 they won a treble, claiming the Premier League, FA Cup and Europe’s greatest prize. And this year they’re on to become the first team to successfully defend their European crown. All increasing the strain on Sir Alex Ferguson’s already heaving trophy cabinet.

So who will take glory in Rome?

Relentless We March

Always one more. One more point needed, one more result to nail, one more title earned in sweat. And then one more final to own, one more stage to dominate, one more cup to lift.

What's one more to a reigning champion? Everything.
