john bennett says natalie‘s failure to reach the last 16 is a huge shock.you thought napoli would go through. donetsk have been superb. napoli could have won that match. because donetsk did theirjob. they beat manchester city 2-1, theirjob. they beat manchester city 2—1, ending their winning theirjob. they beat manchester city 2—1, ending theirwinning run theirjob. they beat manchester city 2—1, ending their winning run of 20 games, 2—i, ending their winning run of 20 games, ending that unbeaten run which stretches back to april. a great performance. wonderful goal from bernard. and the head coach promised to dress as zorro after the game in the postmatch press conference this is something for social media. and he did do that. so here are the 16 teams who've qualified for the knockout stage. there are 5 from england, 3 from spain, 2 from italy, and onlyi each from germany and france — with switzerland, ukraine, turkey and portugal also represented. 8 of the 16 are previous winners of the trophy — including the holders real madrid. the draw takes place on mo

15 goals for portugal as the european champions qualified for next year's world cup finals as john bennetteports. it's official. footballjournalists from around the world have voted cristiano ronaldo the world's test player this year. year started well and real madrid were top byjanuary. i made a worker lalique champions for the 33rd time. ronaldo played his part, with 25 league goals in 25 games. couple of weeks later came a record extending 12 champion league titles. he found the back of the net twice in the final againstjuventus, enough to give him man of the match. as if that wasn't enough, cristiano ronaldo did his bit to help portugal qualify for the world cup. this is it's been more of a struggle. he has only scored twice in the league is so only scored twice in the league is so far, but continues to break records. he scored in all six champions league group games. so all in all not a bad time for the player regarded as one of the greatest of all time. i still have the motivation to be cristiano, to play with happiness, so cristiano, to play with happiness, so the main word is happy
