Fenerbahce's Gokhan Gonul suffered a scary injury in the second leg of his side's Europa League semifinal against Benfica. With the aggregate score at 2-2 and Fenerbahce leading on their away goal in the 57th minute, Benfica's Nicolas Gaitan tried to reign in a high cross, but ended up kicking Gonul in the face instead.

Gonul was unconscious and bleeding from the mouth, but Gaitan wasn't booked for the high boot. Gonul was taken to the hospital and, according to the Daily Mail, he needed stitches on his lip and "lost some teeth."

Benfica went on to score a winner in the 65th minute, sending them to the Europa League final, where they will play Chelsea. Lucky for Fernando Torres, he already wears a face mask.

Though it proved unnecessary as Chelsea beat Basel 3-1 in the second leg of their Europa League semifinal to advance with a 5-2 aggregate score, David Luiz scored yet another brilliant goal with enviable ease. In the 59th minute at Stamford Bridge, Frank Lampard laid the ball off for Luiz well outside the box and the Brazilian curled a shot that dipped down from the top corner in a way that probably made David Beckham jealous.

All three of Chelsea's goals came within nine minutes of each other after Basel took a 1-0 lead in the first half. Fernando Torres scored Chelsea's first goal in the 50th minute, giving him five in eight Europa League appearances this season (compared to seven goals in 32 Premier League appearances, including none in his last nine).

Chelsea will now play Benfica in the final and until then, the masked man who has replaced Torres has flown off to his native planet...

During Real Madrid's first training session since coming up a goal short against Borussia Dortmund and hearing Jose Mourinho's strongest hint yet that he'll be leaving the club at the end of the season, Sergio Ramos gave his manager a hug. Perhaps this is just Mourinho's way of lifting morale, but the embrace has drawn attention as it brings back memories of Mourinho's tearful hug with Marco Materazzi just before he left Inter for Madrid in 2010. So let's see just how much unfounded information we can project onto this image.

-They were saying goodbye. Even though they have six more matches together this season and immediately walked down the tunnel next to each other while maintaining an awkward silence.
-Realizing that they don't have much more time together, they reconciled their differences and decided that all was forgiven. Except for their argument about whether Mourinho actually created the universe in six days.
-Sergio Ramos was trying to distract and hold Mourinho so Iker

With three matches left to play, Manchester United have already sealed the Premier League title and received a guard of honor from Arsenal. Though they haven't gotten their hands on the trophy yet, they have redecorated Old Trafford to make their latest triumph known.

Along with the champions banners, the club displayed a giant 2013 design that splits the year down the middle to highlight the fact that they have now been champions of England a record 20 times, 13 of which have been Premier League titles. Coincidentally, 2,013 is also the number of driving offenses Carlos Tevez has committed since he arrived in the city.

Tito says I don't feel okay so I have to sit on the bench, but I don't think I feel bad. ... Oh no...maybe I'm a ghost now and I don't even know it! ... That must be why I can't play. Because Luis Suarez bit me and now I'm a ghost and ghosts aren't allowed to play against humans. ... Do people still collect stamps? ... The guy behind me holding the ball is really weird. Maybe he's a ghost too. ... I hope that doesn't mean I have to be friends with him now. ... I bet he doesn't even like The Incredibles as much as I do...

Bayern Munich celebrated on the pitch at the Camp Nou pitch after finishing off a 7-0 aggregate thumping of Barcelona to advance to the Champions League final and they had an unexpected guest join them as they did. A fan jumped out of the stands and ran to Franck Ribery, embracing the Frenchman as his teammates watched, a bit stunned.

But as soon as they saw Ribery hug the man back, they all crowded around for a big group hug with the pitch invader at the center. When the stewards got through the players and got their hands on the overzealous supporter, they dragged him away to certain doom while Ribery tried to give the man his shirt.

Pictures right this way...

The Portland Timbers played against a team of eight-year-olds on Wednesday and lost 10-9. The match, played in one end of the Timbers' JELD-WEN Field, was organized by the Make-A-Wish Foundation on behalf of Atticus Lane-Dupre, who scored four goals in the match, including the winner. Atticus learned he had cancer last fall when he started to feel pain while playing the game he loves.

Atticus' team, the Green Machine, played against Timbers players like Darlington Nagbe, Will Johnson, Jack Jewsbury and Mikael Silvestre. Atticus had his own locker in the Timbers' dressing room and to make the day even more special, 3,000 Timbers fans showed up to cheer him on and create the fantastic atmosphere that Timbers matches are known for. Songs were sung, flags were waved and green smoke rose from the stands. Here's a view from the seats...

Bayern Munich beat Barcelona 3-0 in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal to advance to an all-German final with an astonishing 7-0 aggregate score. The only goal Barcelona managed to score in the tie was a Gerard Pique own goal in the 72nd minute, which he drove into the net with an attempt to clear a Franck Ribery cross that went off his knee.

Though Thomas Muller added one more goal just four minutes later, that moment stomped out whatever semblance of morale Barcelona had left. After the match, Pique confirmed just how bad it was and made it clear that Leo Messi watching from the bench didn't change anything. From Football Espana:

“Perhaps this was the worst moment of my career at Barcelona,” he told reporters.

“With or without Lionel Messi, the result would have been the same.”

As abysmal as it was, this result could actually prove beneficial for Barcelona. As I've said before, Barcelona's extreme level of success in recent years caused them to stagnate out of a desire to not change what was working so well. But now it's not working quite as perfectly against all comers anymore and Bayern Munich have made that very clear. This shouldn't mean the end of an era or the changing of the guard. It should just prove to Barcelona that it's time to adapt and modify and continue on.
