Cristiano Ronaldo is confident Real Madrid can add to their Super Cup success

Cristiano Ronaldo expects English clubs to challenge for European glory this season - but still believes Real Madrid will end up making Champions League history.

Ronaldo was back in the goal-scoring groove on Tuesday night after an injury-hit World Cup for Portugal, scoring twice in the 2-0 Super Cup victory over Spanish rivals Sevilla in Cardiff.

The reigning world player of the year was named the official man of the match by his former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and seems set for another trophy-laden campaign.

"Madrid are going to be the first team," Ronaldo replied when asked if Real could make Champions League history by retaining the title.

"I hope so. Maybe we have the potential to be the best but I believe the players that Real Madrid have bought this season - James (Rodriguez), (Toni) Kroos and (Keylor) Navas - are going to give more support to the team and more quality.

"I'm very happy with the quality that we have in the squad, so it's fantastic and we are going to try and win all the trophies."

England's Champions League challenge will be spearheaded by Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea while Arsenal will be aiming to overcome Besiktas, of Turkey, in the play-off round to join them in the group stages.

Manchester United 2-1 Valencia

Louis Van Gaal is determined to be his own man at Manchester United, but this is one habit he will not mind borrowing from Sir Alex Ferguson.

Late goals were a hallmark of Ferguson’s teams and how fitting that Van Gaal’s first appearance as United manager at Old Trafford should end with a stoppage-time winner from under-fire midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

It meant that the Dutchman maintained his winning start as United boss, adding Valencia to a list of beaten opponents that includes Real Madrid, Roma, Inter Milan and Liverpool shirt.

Typically, he was still far from happy.

It was, Van Gaal acknowledged, United’s ‘worst game’ under him. They were pedestrian at times and Wayne Rooney missed a penalty.

On this evidence, he still has a significant amount of work on his hands. On Saturday lunchtime another team in white will line up against United ... and this side will have to raise their game to beat Swansea City.

‘We made a lot of wrong choices, wrong passes and we didn’t press too much,’ said Van Gaal afterwards. ‘We have to choose better the right time to pass the ball. We haven’t done that and that is a pity.

‘It’s a big pressure because the fans expect a lot, but you cannot change everything in three or four weeks and the players cannot change either.

‘We have to wait and see and develop and we need time, but we have won every game up to now and that’s fantastic when you see our opponents.’

That Fellaini should be the man to score the winner was somewhat poetic.

MLS undoubtedly will give Donovan an epic sendoff in the coming months

Together, the pair led the Galaxy to consecutive MLS Cups in 2011 and 2012 and gave the rest of the league a blueprint to follow for blending premier European talent seamlessly. Players like Thierry Henry, Jermain Defoe, David Villa and Frank Lampard have followed in Beckham’s wake. Without Donovan’s support, who knows what the MLS landscape would look like now?

He had more international goals  and assists  than any player in U.S. soccer history. None was more breathtaking than the injury-time strike against Algeria in the 2010 World Cup. With that goal, the U.S. went from out of its group into the second round, and Donovan went from great player to living legend.

It would be his last great World Cup memory. The U.S. lost its next match to Ghana, and Donovan was cut from Jurgen Klinsmann’s 2014 roster. Donovan seemed at odds with Klinsmann in recent years. A three-month sabbatical from soccer in 2013 for burnout and mental fatigue didn’t help matters.

Despite being denied the World Cup sendoff he deserved, Donovan has not lost his flair for the dramatic – and the goal.

On Wednesday night, the 32-year-old shredded the Bayern Munich defense for 23 minutes in the MLS All-Star Game, hitting the game-winning goal with his final touch of the match. As Donovan jogged off the pitch in the 70th minute, he received a standing ovation from a crowd that was unaware this would be the last time they would see him in an All-Star setting.

MLS undoubtedly will give Donovan an epic sendoff in the coming months, as the season lurches toward the playoffs. The league will be hard pressed to do Donovan’s career justice. How do you pay tribute to someone who has done so much for the sport?

Donovan’s departure leaves a vacancy that will not be soon filled, if at all.

David Rudisha is beaten by Nijel Amos in 800m final at Commonwealth Games

The head-on shot was bizarre. David Rudisha: tall, striding, the epitome of calm. Next to him Nijel Amos: arms swinging wildly, legs overreaching, muscles tensing.

That single image with 10 metres remaining appeared to reveal so much. In fact it was full of deceit. The king of middle-distance running was in trouble and Amos was about to pull off the biggest upset Hampden Park had seen this week.

This was not what the 50,000 spectators had expected to see. Rudisha is not just an Olympic champion or a world record holder. He is the greatest 800m runner in history.

The Kenyan’s victory at London 2012 was described as “the most extraordinary piece of running I have ever seen,” by double Olympic champion Lord Coe.
