Despite his now infamous open criticism of the strike force at his disposal, Jose Mourinho must still have been able to observe the irony of Demba Ba scoring the winning goal for Chelsea in the their Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint Germain on Tuesday night.
It has happened, it has come to pass; Bayern Munich’s incredible 53 game unbeaten run came to end at the hands of Augsburg in Bundesliga this weekend.
Reverse your mind back to 2008 when Heurelho Gomes arrived in the Premier League with Tottenham.

Mario Balotelli – a player famous for his off-field shenanigans and on-field bust ups. The Italy international joined Manchester City in 2010 and instantly made a name for himself thanks to his outrageous personality, and though not all fans of the game approved of his fiery and sometimes childish attitude, there were plenty who did.
