Manchester United are the UEFA Europa League 2017 Champions

Manchester United beat by 2 - 0 Ajax as a goal in each half and won the 2017 UEFA Europa League to complete the English giants' set of major UEFA club competition trophies.

Pogba scored with a deflected strike before Mkhitaryan's close-range finish on an emotional night in Stockholm in Friends Arena.

There was recognition before the game of those killed in Monday's attack in Manchester and United's players wore black armbands in respect.


The collection is complete, United are the fifth side to win all three major European club competitions.
Prior to this victory they had won the European Cup on three occasions, in 1968, 1999 and 2008, and
the Cup Winners' Cup in 1991.


Deprived of injured top scorer the Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic, defenders Marcos Rojo and Luke Shaw and the suspended Eric Bailly, Jose Mourinho's side had to dig deep in their 64th and final game of this season.
Manchester United started quicker the Final, than some anticipated – but they always kept their shape and never really gave Ajax a sniff to control the match. They were solid in defence, both full-backs especially impressive, dominant in midfield – and
always had an outlet going forward. Their charismatic manager was animated throughout the game, but never more so than after the final whistle when he basked in the adoration of the crowd. This could be a real springboard for both him and the club for future battles.




A Dutch team with unblemished diamonds.
Ajax Amsterdam side who, with an average age of 22 years and 282 days, fielded the youngest
starting XI in a major European final,
they fought with much courage but they could not pass their greater experience and more valuable English team.



One more trophy and watta way to get UEFA Champion league tickets group stages, which will earn them about £50m in revenue. 
This also represents their second trophy of Mourinho's debut season as United boss following their victory in the EFL Cup in February.


It was a brilliant performance & they won this for the City of Manchester.
Congratulations, Manchester United - 2016/17 UEFA Europa League champions!

For 2006, Hayden was charged with spearheading Repsol Honda's championship aspirations, and was
the only rider to be handed the full 2006 Honda bike during pre-season testing. He led the championship from the third race and looked set to break Valentino Rossi's championship-winning streak. In the second to last round at Estoril in Portugal, teammate Dani Pedrosa lost the front-end on the brakes (a lowside) to avoid colliding with Hayden. The resulting lowside accident took out both bikes. This left Hayden eight points behind Rossi in the championship with one race left to go. In the last race of the season on October 29, 2006 Rossi crashed on lap 5 trying to make up for a poor start.

Bergqvist as the only members of Tre Kronor to win three World Championship gold medals.

"For me it's the first time ever winning something with Team Sweden," enthused Marcus Kruger. "I know how important this is for all the guys on the team and for Swedish hockey in general. It's going to be a good thing to come back to Sweden and share it with the people there. It's going to be great to celebrate with the Swedish fans."

Well done, Sweden. the championship couldn't go to a more deserving country. Keep up the great Hockey!


Russia won the bronze medal game after a 5-3 win over Finland at the 2017 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship.

Lewis Hamilton wins a spectacular Spanish Grand Prix 2017

Lewis Hamilton beat championship leader Sebastian Vettel in a direct head-to-head duel as the Spanish Grand Prix delivered a spectacular fight for victory between F1 2017's big two.



What a thriller Spanish GP Lewis Hamilton overtakes Sebastian Vettel to close the title gap 

It was a tense and gripping battle befitting the closeness of the fight between Formula 1's top teams and the two biggest favourit drivers of the 2017 season.
Four-time Formula One World Champion German Sebastian Vettel took control of the race with a superb start, sweeping around the outside of Lewis Hamilton into Turn One and building a 2.2-second lead with a blistering first lap.

When Ferrari beat Mercedes to making the first pit stop, preventing Hamilton passing by stopping earlier and benefiting from fresh tyres, the race appeared to be Vettel's to lose and Mercedes to win but...

A clever strategic move by the Mercedes team 
Despite losing the lead to his Ferrari rival at the start, Mercedes played Hamilton's strategy cleverly to give the Englishman a chance and he then overtook Vettel on track after the final pit stops to claim the lead.
Hamilton's second win of the season cut his deficit to Vettel in the championship to six points after five of 20 races.



The championship two biggest favourites totally dominated the Spanish race, finishing 75 seconds ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo in third, after Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen ran into
Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya racing accidents.



Speaking after the race, Vettel reflected: "It was very close when we came out. I was just guessing on the braking but there was no room for him. I don't know if we
touched. It was really close."

"That's how racing should be," enthused Lewis Hamilton. "It was incredibly close." Hamilton, Said after the race.



Bottas and Raikkonen were involved in a three-way collision at the first corner, with the Ferrari and Max Verstappen's Red Bull, who was on the outside of them, making heavy contact and retiring as a result.


Valtteri Bottas later dropped out when running a distant third with what appeared to be a Mercedes engine failure.
With Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull all losing one car apiece, Force India profited and finished fourth and fifth with Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon respectively. The team, the only one to finish with two cars in the points at every race so far in the F1 2017 Championship.


Best race seen for some time. Great timing on the Pit stop by Mercedes, bit aggressive from Vettel, but understandable as he had to maintain the gap. Also, well done to Alonso for a good home race. Bring on Monaco.

But certainly the most coolest and cute moment in the Spanish race was at the beginning, when a kid cried at the start after Kimi's early exit of the race. He's now met the iceman! According to his parents, today is the happiest day in the life of little Thomas :)
