On March 8, 2005, in the Champions League round-of-16 second leg, Barcelona lost 4-2 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea advancing 5-4 on aggregate after a 2-1 first-leg defeat. Ronaldinho's jaw-dropping dead-ball strike from 35 yards silenced the home crowd, following his earlier penalty goal, though Chelsea responded with strikes from Eidur Gudjohnsen, Frank Lampard, Damien Duff, and John Terry. Fans who saw it live called it magical, with one behind the goal naming it the best ever witnessed, while others marveled at the technique and shared playground memories of kids trying to copy it. The clip revives nostalgia for Ronaldinho's flair, even as some gripe about modern football lacking that pure showmanship.

Marseille have agreed in principle with 48-year-old Habib Beye to become their new head coach, just days after Roberto De Zerbi's mutual departure following a 5-0 loss to PSG.

The Benfica manager will speak only to the club's BTV outlet ahead of Saturday's Portuguese league game against Santa Clara, just like he did before last weekend's win over Alverca.

Mourinho, sent off for protesting the referee, questioned Vinicius's celebration style post-match, while Benfica stays top of the Primeira Liga unbeaten and eyes a comeback in the second leg on February 25.

Jose Mourinho, fresh off a heated Champions League loss to Real Madrid, is sticking to his routine by skipping Benfica's pre-match press conference.
