Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao 4-2 All Goals (Full Screen) 13/2/2016 (HD) Cristiano Ronaldo hit home his 12th Champions League goal this season, leading Real Madrid to a 2-0 win over AS Roma. The ESPN FC crew analyse Zinedine Zidane"s tactics in Real Madrid"s 2-0 victory over AS Roma.
Real Madrid beat Roma 2-0 in their Champions League last-16 first leg at the Stadio Olimpico, with away goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Jese giving them the upper hand.
Ronaldo, who hadn"t scored an away goal in any competition since Nov. 29, put Real Madrid up 1-0 in the 57th minute with a curled effort that deflected past Roma goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
Real dominated possession in the first half, pinning Roma back in their defensive third for large chunks of the game, but couldn"t find a way through.
Roma did look dangerous on the counter-attack on several occasions, with Mohamed Salah and Stephan El Shaarawy forcing the action when the Italian side broke free of their own half.
Real"s best chance of the first half came when Ronaldo flipped the ball to Marcelo in the Roma penalty area, but the Brazilian"s curling first-time strike went just wide of the far post.
El Shaarawy nearly put Roma ahead before half-time when he collected a long pass just past midfield and ran at Keylor Navas" goal only to be denied at the last second by a retreating Dani Carvajal.

Roma came out the stronger of the two teams after the break, once again finding plenty of space on the counter. Radja Nainggolan"s effort from 18 yards was deflected away and El Shaarawy almost got to the ball as Navas came off his line to sweep away.
However, Real Madrid soon got the upper hand as Ronaldo chased down a through ball from Marcelo, cut back and hit a curling effort that beat Wojciech Szczesny after deflecting off Alessandro Florenzi.
The goal was Ronaldo"s 33rd in the Champions League on the road over the last six seasons.
A desperate Roma weren"t done, though, with Salah"s pace continuing to open up opportunities to run at Real Madrid"s goal. The Egyptian nearly played substitute Edin Dzeko in with a curling cross after a run down the right flank.
Minutes later, Dzeko laid the ball off toWilliam Vainqueur following a goalmouth scramble, but the midfielder"s well-struck volley blazed wide.
Dzeko again got in on goal in the 80th minute, but his quick turn and shot hit the side netting.
Roma players felt hard done when the referee did not point to the spot following a late Carvajal tackle on Florenzi in the Madrid penalty area.
Substitute Jese scored the clinching goal when played through in the 86th minute, firing beyond Szczesny into the bottom corner, and Zinedine Zidane"s team were able to kill off the remainder of the match.
The win marked Real"s first away win in their last nine attempts against Italian sides, with their last win on Italian soil a 3-0 victory against Roma in 2004.
The two teams meet again at the Santiago Bernabeu on March 8 to determine who will advance to the quarterfinals.
Duke vs #13 Louisville Basketball 2016 (Full Game)
Duke and North Carolina, two of college basketball"s bluest blue bloods, square off Wednesday (9 p.m. ET, ESPN) in Chapel Hill with four 247Sports Composite five-stars on each side. Here is a look at the ranking and college production of each teams top eight players.

No. 5 NORTH CAROLINA (21-4)
*Senior forward Brice Johnson, No. 45 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2012
Johnson made a huge impression at the Peach Jam in July prior to his senior year with his athletic and bouncy game. Prior to that showcase, there had been flashes and potential was evident, but production wasnt always there.
At North Carolina, Johnson has blossomed into the Tar Heels leading scorer and rebounder at double-double clip of 16.4 points and 10 rebounds per game. As a lower-level top 50 prospect, Johnson has positioned himself as a No. 42 pick in this years draft by Draft Express.
*Senior guard Marcus Paige, No. 31 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2012
Marcus Paige was a consistently high producer on the travel team circuit. The questions that kept the Iowa product just out of the five-star range were his explosiveness as an athlete at his size. There was no doubt, however, about his high skill level and ability to run a team.
Paige has consistently developed over his four years at UNC and is the unquestioned leader of the squad. As a senior he is averaging 13 points and 3.7 assists to only 1.1 turnovers per game. He is projected as the No. 49 pick in the draft per Draft Express.
*Sophomore guard Joel Berry, No. 30 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2014

Like Marcus Paige, Joel Berry was a consistent high-level performer at point guard on the travel team circuit. His ranking wavered on the four-star/five-star border throughout and he finished as a very high four-star player.
As a sophomore he has established himself as one of the more critical pieces of the UNC puzzle with his tough play and production of 12.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.2 rebounds per game.
*Sophomore forward Justin Jackson, No. 9 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2014
With his length and scoring ability, Justin Jackson was always considered a five-star prospect coming out of Spring, Texas two years ago ranked ahead of current NBA wings like Trey Lyles, Justise Winslow and Devin Booker.
Jackson finished his freshman year on a strong note but hasnt wowed scouts in his sophomore year. His stock has flatlined and he is considered a bubble first/second round draft prospect. He is averaging 12.1 points and 3.8 points per game while only shooting 24 percent from three.
*Junior center Kennedy Meeks, No. 58 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2013
Kennedy Meeks always intrigued me with his overall skill level. The question was ability to run and keep up with the game. He, nonetheless was named a McDonalds All American and held his own during the events practices and game.
He dropped the necessarily weight and has been a valuable contributor to the program throughout his three years in Chapel Hill. So far this year he is averaging 10.6 points and 10.6 rebounds per game in 21.9 minutes of play. He is considered a second round pick if he enters the draft this year.

*Junior forward Isaiah Hicks, No. 16 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2013
Isaiah Hicks was a promising athletic prospect coming out of high school. The read, however, was that he was a long term project considering his raw skill set to go with his 6-foot-8 frame.
It has been a slow and steady progression, though, as Hicks has settled into his role as a player off the bench. The promising thing is his minutes have increased each season and so has his production, with 9.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.
*Junior guard Nate Britt, No. 121 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2013
Nate Britt hit the national scene early on as a highly ranked point guard prospect. His ranking dropped dramatically throughout his high school career and he finished as a three-star recruit.
As a junior he has been a valuable reserve, playing 16.9 minutes while putting up 6.5 points and 2 assists per game.
*Sophomore forward Theo Pinson, No. 15 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2014
Theo Pinson was a name on the travel circuit for multiple years with his athletic game. But even as a low five-star prospect, Pinson engendered questions about his shooting range and overall skill level.
Next year looks to be the breakout year for Pinson as flashes of brilliance have occurred over the first two years at UNC. This year he is averaging 5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game in 19.9 minutes of game.
No. 20 DUKE (19-6)
*Sophomore guard Grayson Allen, No. 25 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2014
Grayson Allen caught my eye in high school with his scoring ability and fearlessness attacking the basket. With questions about his ability to defend and involve teammates, his ranking hovered on that four-star/five-star border.
His freshman year was largely uneventful until he played a pivotal roll in Dukes National Championship win. Allen carried that momentum into his sophomore year leading the team in scoring at 20.6 points per game while also averaging 4.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game while paling a team leading 35.3 minutes per game. He scored the game-winning bucket against Virginia on Saturday.
*Freshman forward Brandon Ingram, No. 3 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2015
Ingram was considered a high five-star prospect coming out of the travel team circuit prior to his senior season. Concerns lingered, however, about his ability to produce against more physical competition. During the McDonalds All American Game practices, Ingram was a dominant performer and impressed NBA scouts as much as No. 1 ranked Ben Simmons.
Ingrams freshman year at Duke, however, started out slower than expected, and the earlier questions about him quickly came up again. Then the thoroughbred settled in and has established himself as a go-to player, averaging 17.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Draft Express currently has him slated as the No. 2 pick in this years draft.
*Freshman guard Luke Kennard, No. 21 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2015
Luke Kennard put up mega numbers for his high school in Ohio, surpassing LeBron James as the all-time scorer in the state. The five-star shooting guard was a lethal threat on the travel circuit as well.
Production has been up and down as a freshman for Duke, but Kennard has established himself as an integral contributor, averaging 12 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. When he gets hot from downtown, watch out.
*Junior guard Matt Jones, No. 37 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2013
Matt Jones was a McDonalds All American despite being at the end of the top 40 according to the industry driven 247Sports Composite,
After hardly playing as a freshman, Jones played an important role in Year 2, logging 21.7 minutes and scoring 6 points per game. As a junior, Jones is averaging 11.7 points in 33.7 minutes of action per game while shooting 41.3 percent from three-point range.
*Senior forward Amile Jefferson, No. 30 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2012
Amile Jefferson hovered on the 247Sports Composite five-star range as some scouts saw him as a go-to type scorer to go along with his strong all-around play down low while others saw didnt see him as a go-to scorer and thought he was a little undersized for his position.
Jefferson worked his way up in minutes to just over 20 per game his sophomore and junior years, averaging just over 6 points and 6 rebounds per game. Before suffering a prolonged foot injury this year, he was averaging a double-double of 11.4 points and 10.3 rebounds in 30.3 minutes per game. Jefferson is eligible for a medical redshirt if he doesn"t return this season.
*Freshman guard Derryck Thornton, No. 14 in 247Sports Composite
Derryck Thornton was a member of the 2016 class with the capability of moving up to the 2015 class. When Duke realized Tyus Jones was likely headed to the NBA, head coach Mike Krzyzewski convinced the five-star point guard to move up to 2016 and join the Blue Devils.
Thrown into a tough position, Thornton has averaged 25.8 minutes, scoring 8.1 points and dishing 2.7 assists to 1.8 turnovers per game.
*Senior center Marshall Plumlee, No. 62 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2011
Marshall Plumlee certainly had the lineage of two older brothers playing at Duke, but the rawness of the youngest Plumlee kept him out of the top 50 range. Regardless of ranking, Plumlee was named a McDonalds All American.
After averaging less than 10 minutes per game his first three years at Duke, Plumlee has evolved into a critical component of the Duke attack, playing 30.1 minutes while averaging 8.1 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game.
*Freshman forward Chase Jeter, No. 15 in 247Sports Composite, class of 2015
Chase Jeter was a standout at both Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman High School and on the travel team circuit. The five-star product earned McDonalds All American honors.
Jeter has struggled to find the court as a freshman, playing only 7.1 minutes per game. The expectation is that he will develop into an impact player next year.

Has Donald Trump just performed another prank against another Republican candidate? On Monday, JebBush.com was redirecting traffic to DonaldTTrump.com, Trumps official website. Jeb Bushs official presidential campaign website, Jeb2016.com, was running normally. It is unclear if Bush was the victim of a hack, or if his campaign actually failed to register the JebBush.com domain. Bush may have never registered his name as a domain, as Gizmodo points out. According to domain registries, the site owner is anonymous. Is this a voter another Donald J Trump prank?
Trump has trolled his most hated GOP rivals with everything from nagging emails to a delivery of Trump Ice Natural Spring Water to Marco Rubio, the Florida Senator whos embarrassing gulp was seen around the world.
The website debacle is a significant though purely symbolic embarrassment for the Jeb(!) campaign. Bush has touted his mastery of email, releasing a compilation of his electronic messages from his days as Florida Governor in the form of a memoir Reply All (yes, it is incredibly boring).
Someone, somewhere, is probably getting fired right now.
Yet Bush isnt the only self-described tech-savvy Republican candidate to make this mistake. Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina also failed to register her name as a domain, allowing a modest protester to point out how many layoffs she oversaw while holding the reins at the company.
Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao 4-2 All Goals and Highlights 2016 HD
Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos has refused to be drawn on stinging criticism of the club by former boss Rafa Benitez.
The defender, speaking after Madrid"s 2-0 win away to Roma, attempted to be diplomatic in not responding to the coach that he helped force out of the club.
But he couldn"t resist the temptation to reaffirm his belief that new boss Zinedine Zidane was the right man to take over at the Bernabeu.
"As captain I respect everyone but I focus on the present. It wouldn"t be right to comment on what Benitez has said.
"There are times where you need a change of coach and the most ideal person was Zidane."
Analysis: How did Rafa get it so wrong in Madrid?
Revolution: Zidane replaced Benitez with immediate effect
The former Liverpool manager was given the axe from his dream job at the turn of the year after losing ground to rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the title race.
He was quickly replaced by Zinedine Zidane - but Benitez has warned just how difficult it is
Speaking on BT Sport, Benitez said: It"s a pity because we qualified [for the knockout stages of the Champions League] without losing any games and scoring a lot of goals.
We were really pleased with the team and it"s a pity that we"re not there.
Benitez alluded to the claustrophobic atmosphere of having to work under club president Florentino Perez.
He said: My assistant Fabio Pecchia said there is a permanent presence of the chairman. He"s around, he"s talking with players, he"s talking with the press.
He"s always around, it"s not easy for a manager, especially coming from England, to see the chairman talking with players or talking with the press every single day.
Benitez added: When you talk about consistency it is the key word because to win the league you have to be consistent.
Comment: Rafa exit means all eyes are now on Florentino Perez
Phone home: Benitez was on BT Sport"s Champions League coverage
He added: It"s difficult to explain. You need to know exactly what happened in Real Madrid in the last years.
You could see Camacho, Del Bosque, Pellegrini, Mourinho, Ancelotti [all hired and fired as Real boss]... so it"s not easy to be there manager there.
You have to do everything perfect. As soon as something is wrong or the chairman thinks that it"s wrong then you"re used to having problems.
I think that we were quite good, as I said before.
"I think that we could do really well but they were a little bit nervous and the fans were a little bit nervous and the chairman was a little bit nervous then they change the manager.

You have to fight against Barcelona and Barcelona has a style of football, a model of football and then Real Madrid is changing managers every year so you have to start again.
"That is the reason why Real Madrid has won one league title in the last seven, Atletico Madrid one and Barcelona five.
Barcelona now has been in six cup finals in the last eight years.
"They"ve won more than double the trophies of Real Madrid in the time that the chairman is there, so I think it is because they are consistent and that is the key to win the league title.
Asked whether Perez was the problem, Benitez sighed and said: He did a great job in terms of business. Real Madrid needed to improve the business part of the club and he did really well.
In football the problem is that Barcelona is still winning and winning, so he"s changing because he"s trying to find solutions but still Barcelona is winning more every year. That is the big problem for Real Madrid now.
He added: I"m frustrated a little bit because I was sacked.
"As someone who for 20 years worked at Real Madrid as a player and a coach to go there and see the players who you could see were really competitive, good professionals; to see that you couldn"t control things in the way that you would like to do it and then improve the team as a team is a little bit frustrating, yes.
The Tonight Show returned to Los Angeles this week and to celebrate, Jimmy Fallon remade LL Cool J"s "Going Back to Cali" video.
LL Cool J made an appearance in the video, which also featured The Roots. Fallon drove around in a car singing about how he"s "hostin", west coastin" " in the cold open to the show Monday.
"I"m back in town on the L.A. scene. I"ll be telling jokes playing games with my guests," sang Fallon. "The party never ends, so tell your friends The Tonight Show"s back in L.A."
Fallon had Will Ferrell and Christina Aguilera on as guests and the trio got together for a silly, retro "tight pants" sketch.
For good measure, Fallon also celebrated his L.A. return by jumping through a giant "Randy"s Donuts" sign, flipping as he went through the hole of the donut.
Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn posed in body paint for the 2016 SI Swimsuit Issue -- joining Ronda Rousey as the two most badass women to ever appear in the issue (unofficially) -- and she needed a way to stay in shape while she was in the Grenadine islands for the shoot.
So while on set, Vonn just casually jumped up and crushed some pull-ups while donning her body paint swimsuit like it was no big deal.
That"s ridiculously impressive, and Vonn shared a cool hashtag with her post: #strongisbeautiful.
Now Vonn will get back to what she does best -- destroying the slopes.
