NO EUROPA LEAGUE FOR LIVERPOOL

A combination of a Stewart Downing goal for Villa and a Spurs win elsewhere saw to it that Liverpool were stripped of any European privileges next year on the final day of the EPL season.

Istanbul hero quits football.

Istanbul hero Jerzy Dudek hung up his goalkeeping gloves for good last night after playing his final game of professional football for Real Madrid against Almeria.

The man who made that unforgettable extra time save from Shevchenko in the 2005 Champions League final and then followed that up with crucial saves in the penalty shoot-out, received a rapturous ovation from fans and teammates alike as he left the field for the final time after Madrid's 8-1 victory on the final day of the La Liga campaign.

Dudek's name will forever be etched into Anfield folklore following his Istanbul heroics - and back in 2007, two years after that nerve-shredding final, we caught up with our big Pole to ask for his memories of that dramatic night.

Sir Alex confirms Hargreaves exit

Owen Hargreaves will not be offered a new contract by Manchester United when his current deal expires at the end of next month.

Hargreaves, a £17 million signing from Bayern Munich four years ago, has seen his last three seasons ruined by tendinitis in both knees. He has tried many comebacks but most have lasted just minutes.

It leaves an uncertain future for the 30-year-old, who was an integral part of the England squad until the injury problems struck. It will be a brave club that offers the midfielder anything other than a pay-as-you-play deal due to his horrific recent record.

He made 36 appearances in the 2007-08 season before the problems began. In 2008-09 he appeared just three times for United and in 2009-10 he played just once, as a 90th minute substitute at Sunderland.

It was hoped he would come back stronger this term, but his comeback against Wolves in November was aborted after just nine minutes when he was replaced by Bebe.

Sir Alex Ferguson told the Mail on Sunday: "This has been a difficult decision knowing how hard the lad has worked to win back his fitness.

"But we have made it in the hope he will be able to resurrect his career elsewhere."
