Cristiano Ronaldo equalled Ferenc Puskas' goalscoring record as Real Madrid beat Schalke 3-1 and secured their progress to the quarter-finals of the competition with a 9-2 aggregate win. The prolific Portugal captain took his goal tally for the La Liga leaders to 41 for the season and 13 in the Champions League in 2013-14. The tie was settled in the first leg in Gelsenkirchen a fortnight ago, when Ronaldo also scored twice as Real hammered the Bundesliga side 6-1 to put one foot in the last eight and Ancelotti's men finished off the job at the Bernabeu. Ronaldo opened the scoring and restored Real's lead 16 minutes from time after Tim Hoogland briefly levelled for the visitors on the night. Alvaro Morata sealed the victory a minute after Ronaldo's second goal and the former Manchester United forward struck the crossbar and the post in another outstanding display. But there was concern for Madrid ahead of Sunday's Clasico against Barcelona as Jese Rodriguez was force...

Chelsea booked their place in the Champions Leaguequarter-finals with a comfortable 2-0 win over Galatasarayon Tuesday evening. First-half goals from Samuel Eto'o and Gary Cahill - on his 100th Chelsea appearance - sealed a comfortable 3-1 aggregate success, with the long-awaited Stamford Bridge return of Didier Drogba proving an anti-climax. Eto'o opened the scoring with the first attack of the game, controlling Oscar's pass before firing low into the corner and Chelsea made their dominance count shortly before the break when Cahill converted the rebound from a John Terry header. Former Chelsea striker Drogba had very little impact on the game, his most notable contribution coming in the first half when he blasted a free-kick over the crossbar and into a banner bearing his own name. Mourinho's spiky relationship with opposite number Roberto Mancini was well documented in the build-up, but it was the Portuguese who had the last laugh as Chelsea secured an untroubled pas...

To his shock, one of the tickets he'd purchased at 7-Eleven at Rolling Rd, Springfield,on March 5 was worth $1 million.

Manning said, with one child in college and another planning to go next year, the win came at a good time.

A man who argued with two other movie goers about the ending of a film was struck outside the cinema by a truck driven by his adversaries and killed, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said on Monday. The men's discussion of the film grew more heated as the three left the theater and went to the parking lot after the late Sunday evening film. Two of the men then got into a white Ford F-150 pickup truck. 'The driver of the truck put the vehicle in reverse striking the victim and knocking him to the ground,' it said. The truck then sped away. The victim later died at a Tomball Regional Hospital, the sheriff for the Houston-area county said without identifying the man, according to the Houston Chronicle. The office would not name the film but witnesses told KHOU-TV that it was '300: Rise of an Empire,' a Greek-era action film steeped in battle scenes.
