Former Bayern manager Felix Magath on Pep:

"Messi won the titles, not Guardiola. Without Messi, this system has never worked as successfully for Guardiola, otherwise, he would have won the Champions League with Bayern or Man City long ago."(Sport Bild)

Do you agree with Magath?

Stand up for girls’ right to their own body. #SheDecides

African countries are "collectively net creditors to the rest of the world, to the tune of $41.3 billion in [2015], says new report. Rather than Africa being a hapless continent dependent on the rest of the world, it is the exploited continent 1/5
