In the 59th minute of Zenit St. Petersburg's final home match of the Russian Premier League season, 31-year-old Russian international Roman Shirokov was brought on to boos and jeers. In the first minute of injury time, Shirokov put away the final goal in Zenit's 3-1 win against Volga Nizhny and he celebrated by giving fans behind the goal an "up yours" gesture as payback for his reception half an hour earlier. The referee then showed the striker with a history of being unfriendly a straight red and he was off.

Shirokov was probably jeered in the first place because he tweeted "CSKA deserved the championship!" after CSKA Moscow sealed the league title on Saturday, leaving second place to Zenit. This isn't the best way to endear yourself to your own fans.

Prior to Euro 2012, ITV explained his reputation for cause controversy like this:

That [big-game] mentality has its downsides, though, as a number of disciplinary scrapes have given Shirokov something of a bad-boy reputation in Russia. He's known as 'Mister Twitter' in his homeland, apt - much like Joey Barton - to use social media to vent his uncompromising views. Shirokov once famously referred to fans of rival club Spartak Moscow as "pigs", and to Slovakia's national side as "a bunch of farmers".

So it seems this is just Roman Shirokov being Roman Shirokov.

Real Madrid were understandably confident going into Friday's Copa del Rey final. Atletico Madrid had not beaten them in over a decade and Jose Mourinho had to win in order to avoid the first season of his top-flight career without a trophy. But then Mourinho was sent off. And so was Cristiano Ronaldo. And Atletico ended up winning the Copa del Rey in extra time.

As a result, Real Madrid didn't get to use their customized open-topped bus, which was spotted in the city on its lonely trip back to the garage.

Atletico did use their bus as they paraded through the streets on Friday, though. Here it is in all its glory...

After Borussia Monchengladbach scored three goals in the first 10 minutes of the final match of the Bundesliga season, Bayern Munich came back to win 4-3. Though Bayern still have the Champions League final against Dortmund and the DFB Pokal final against Stuttgart to play, it was still an emotional day for outgoing manager Jupp Heynckes, who is not only from Monchengladbach, but also had two spells as a player there and two spells as a manager.

During Heynckes' post-match press conference, he got a bit misty-eyed while discussing the occasion. "This is an emotional moment for me," He said. "I started my playing career and coaching career at Gladbach. It would certainly have been more emotional if it would have been at the Bökelberg [Gladbach's old stadium]. I associate many triumphs, bitter defeats and some curiosities with it. I would like to heartily thank the Borussia fans for the wonderful farewell."

"This shows me that this is my home," he added, tearing up.

Heynckes said earlier in the week that he would not take another job in the Bundesliga and that at 68 years old, he felt he might be too old for youth-oriented clubs abroad. But he did admit that he has had offers. Still, he hasn't ruled out devoting his golden years to pulling a series of vengeful pranks on his successor at Bayern, Pep Guardiola.

Already crowned Ligue 1 champions, PSG strolled to a 3-1 win against Brest in David Beckham's final match before his retirement. Beckham was given a rare start and wore the captain's armband, along with a special pair of boots (pictured below) he designed himself with the names of each of his four kids and the shirt numbers he wore throughout his career. When he was subbed off in the 82nd minute, he was in tears as his 20-year career comes to an end at the age of 38.

Though PSG still has one more match at Lorient, Beckham made it clear this would be his last. "I feel a lot of satisfaction and emotion," Beckham said after the game. "Tonight is the end of my career for sure."

Beckham assisted PSG's second goal against Brest with one of his signature corner kicks, which Blaise Matuidi headed into the net. After the final whistle, Beckham returned to the pitch all smiles and his teammates tossed him into the air.

On the same day that the Daily Mail carried a story about how much the Man City players disliked now ex-manager Roberto Mancini, the Italian who wasn't even kept until the final match of the season took out a full page ad in the Manchester Evening News to say goodbye to the fans. "Manchester City supporters 3 UNFORGETTABLE YEARS," the ad reads above a picture of a waving Mancini with the FA Cup, Community Shield and Premier League trophy superimposed beneath him. "You will always be in my heart. Ciao. Roberto Mancini."

Mancini enjoyed great support from the fans despite finishing a distant second to Man United and losing the FA Cup final to Wigan this season. Though the club nor his players had the same faith in him, it seems he's looking to keep the fans on his side even after departing. One last way of thumbing his nose up at those who undermined him.

If only the next page was addressed to Carlos Tevez with a picture of Mancini giving the finger.

"This has been my worst season because it's the first season in which I have not won an important title." That is what you said after losing Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, Jose. I am already having this stitched onto a pillow to put in my hotel room. It makes me very happy. Like Batman movies and funny hats.

While you were getting sent off and having Real Madrid lose to Atletico for the first time in 13 years, I was just sitting here in my beanbag chair with my new Europa League trophy. You only won the Spanish Super Cup with Real Madrid, but I wasn't even at Chelsea a full season and I still won a better trophy. I have named it Albert. Albert and I were discussing how you have said many rude things about me over the years and how you even got lying liar Marco Materazzi to lie lies about me. Lie. Liar. Lie lie. Anyways, maybe now you and Materazzi can cry together. Oh wait, you've already done that. Rafa burn!

But seriously, I must congratulate you, Jose, because you have done many things this season that I never thought was possible. You beat Barcelona, but you still lost the league by 10 points. You have also maintained a feud with Iker Casillas. Iker Casillas! Who has eyes like puppy dogs hugging unicorn kitten in a river of baby giggles. Here is a picture of him...

Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo were both sent off as Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid for the first time since 1999 to win the Copa del Rey final 2-1 in extra time. Real Madrid fell victim to the woodwork and Atletico keeper Thibault Courtois, who made a couple of tremendous saves to thoroughly frustrate Real.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 14th minute and it seemed Real Madrid would stroll to yet another win against their local rivals. But Atletico kept their focus. Diego Costa equalized in the 35th minute and the longer circumstances conspired against Real, preventing them from finishing off the game, the testier the atmosphere became. Mourinho was sent to the dressing room in the 75th minute in a bizarre incident that even he didn't seem to understand and the bookings began to pile up.

Galatasaray allowed supporters to attend their training session this week — a decision they probably regretted after a fan invaded the practice pitch and collided with Didier Drogba. The man appeared to be sprinting towards Drogba to give him a hug, but just before he reached the Ivorian striker, he slipped and fell on him.

Drogba recoiled in pain as security personnel dragged the clumsy supporter away. Drogba then got treatment from the club's medical staff and limped his way through the rest of training. That's what you call a terrible idea gone wrong.

This has been the Dirty Tackle of the Day: a chronicling of unfortunate events.
