Barcelona Will Slaughter Arsenal - Oma Akatugba

Oma Akatugba is at it again. After predicting failure for Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League Group stage last match against Olympiacos the out spoken sports presenter has come out again to nail the Gunners.

Oma has said Barcelona will slaughter Arsenal. Most Arsenal fans won't like this at all and some will want to ask Oma to keep quite after his prediction of Arsenal falling out of the Champions League failed when the red Londoners fired three goals to proceed to the last 16.

Should Oma keep quite over his predictions when it has to do with Arsenal? That's a question for you to answer.

WOW!!! Nigeria's Micheal Olaitan Is Back To Football

The good days are back for former Nigeria youth international, Michael Olaitan. Questions had been raised over the future of the 22-year-old after he collapsed unchallenged during a Greek Super League game between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos on March 2, 2014.
He was subsequently revived by doctors but did not play again in the 2013/14 season.

Olympiacos then farmed him out on loan to fellow Super League club, Ergotelis on a six-month loan deal on January 30. On Wednesday, Olaitan made his return to competitive action as he replaced Mohammed Youssouf in the 68th minute of Ergotelis’ 0-4 loss to Panaitolikos at Stadio Panetolikou.

Micheal Olaitan Wins Greek League With Olympiakos

Olympiakos secured the Greek Super League title on Saturday with a 2-0 victory over Panthrakikos at Karaiskakis Stadium.

A strike from Nelson Valdez and a penalty from David Fuster was enough to seal a comfortable result for Michel's men against the 10-man visitors, giving them an unassailable 18-point lead over Atromitos with five rounds to play.

The initial title celebrations took place in front of an empty stadium, with Olympiakos forced to play behind closed doors as a result of recent supporter violence during an encounter with rivals Panathinaikos.

Brazilian Legend Rivaldo Retires From Football At Age 41

World Cup winner Rivaldo has announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 41.
The Brazilian, who scored 34 times in 74 appearances for his country between 1993 and 2003, played for the likes of Barcelona and AC Milan at the peak of his powers but prolonged his career with short stints at lesser clubs like Olympiakos and AEK Athens.

Following stints in recent years at the likes of Bunyodkor and Sao Paulo, Rivaldo signed on with Mogi Mirim for the third time in his career at the end of 2013 with the deal set to see him stay until 2015.

However, the forward finally called an end to his "miracle" two-and-a-half decade career on Saturday and hopes his time on the field has set an example for future players to follow their hearts despite being advised otherwise.
