I Want To Be Like Pep Guardiola - Xavi

Xavi has revealed he one day hopes to follow in the footsteps of Pep Guardiola and make the transition from Barcelona midfielder to club coach. The 34-year-old replaced the now Bayern Munich boss in the Barca engine room when he made the break through at Camp Nou back in the late nineties.

No January Signings For Chelsea - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has ruled out making any January additions to his squad. Mourinho was active in the close-season as he lured Diego Costa, Filipe Luis, Loic Remy and Cesc Fabregas to Stamford Bridge, while veteran striker Didier Drogba also made an emotion return to the club.

Bolstered by the arrival of that particular quintet, Chelsea have set the pace at the top of the Premier League, reached the League Cup semi-finals and will face Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

HORROR!!! PSG Fans Stabbed In Barcelona

Emmanuel Adebayor Can Take As Much Time As He Needs - Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino has told Emmanuel Adebayor to take as much time as he needs to sort out his off-field problems. The Togo international was granted a leave of absence on Wednesday with Tottenham releasing a statement saying the striker was allowed to return home for "personal reasons", with reports suggesting a family member has been taken ill.

It is not known how much action the 30-year-old will miss, but he definitely sits out Thursday's UEFA Europa League tie with Besiktas and is unlikely to return in time to face Swansea City in the Premier League on Sunday.

NBA:Warriors Beat Rockets 105-93 For 14th Straight Win

Oakland, Calif. (AP) Steve Kerr knew he had a lot of expectations on him after taking over a Golden State Warriors team that Mark Jackson led to a 51-win season and back-to-back playoff appearances.

In less than two months, Kerr has built on his predecessor's success and eclipsed every rookie coach that came before him. Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry shook off slow starts to finish with a flurry, and the Warriors extended their franchise-best winning streak to 14 games by beating the Houston Rockets 105-93 on Wednesday night.

We Should Have Punished Barcelona - Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic regrets Paris Saint-Germain's failure to punish Barcelona as they were knocked off the Group F top spot in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat.The Swede scored the opener against his old club but subsequent goals from Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez allowed Luis Enrique's men to leapfrog the visitors in their Champions League table.

Defeat for Laurent Blanc's side ensures that they will not be top seeds in the last 16 of the tournament, meaning they could be drawn against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund or Porto.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: Manuel Pellegrini Under Pressure Against Bayern Munich

Manuel Pellegrini has heaped the pressure on himself ahead of Manchester City's must-win UEFA Champions League clash with Bayern Munich. City's hopes of progression to the knockout stages are hanging by a thread after claiming just two points from their first four matches.

Pellegrini's men suffered a morale-sapping 2-1 home defeat to CSKA Moscow in Europe's premier club competition earlier this month in a match that saw them finish with nine men. The Premier League champions have enjoyed plenty of success domestically in recent years, with two league titles and glory in the FA Cup and League Cup appeasing the club's super-rich owners - at least for now.
