Three-year contract with the famous Italian fashion designers made the English champions Chelsea. Dolce & Gabbana will dress their players in the mentioned period, as well as redesigned director’s lodge on Stamford Bridge.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana already had been swimming in the sport waters so they contributed to the appearance of the department of Italian football team at the World Cup in South Africa this year. Since 2007 until 2009 the suits for the Chelsea players and directors lodge was designed by Giorgio Armani.

British singer and member of the band Girls Aloud, Cheryl Tweedy Cole, has been voted as having the best breasts in show business in a new survey.

In a survey of 16 to 24-year-old females, “Bravissomo” bra company found that the Cheryl, who they think is a 28F, left behind a group of other celebrities to land the title. “Cheryl’s boobs are indeed fab. We estimate she’s around a 28F bra size – but it’s a shame so many young women aren’t happy with their own breasts,” the Sun quoted Jo Lee, the marketing director, as saying.

“Well fitting, supportive bras like Cheryl wears could give them the lift and shape that they want,” he added.

The 25-year-old, who had auditioned for “Popstars: The Rivals” in 2002 and was the first person to be chosen for the band and in 2008, replaced Sharon Osbourne as a judge for the fifth series of reality show ‘The X Factor’. She is married to the Chelsea and England football player Ashley Cole.

Manchester United won the Champions League after a dramatic penalty shoot-out success against Chelsea in Moscow, last night. This is United third title in the club history.

It was an amazing end to an all-English Champions League Final that had ended 1-1 after extra-time between the two teams that has dominated the Premier League in the last four years.

United took a deserved lead in the 26th minute. Paul Scholes and Wes Brown combined well with the ball sending cross the field for the unmarked Cristiano Ronaldo to plant a header past the stranded Petr Cech – the 42nd goal of an amazing season for the Portugal international.

The goal immediately led to the game opening up and, in the 34th minute, Chelsea almost equalized when Frank Lampard found Didier Drogba who headed the ball into the danger area where Edwin van der Sar was forced to make a smart save to deny Michael Ballack.

United should have doubled their lead when Rooney sent a low cross into the penalty area that Claude Makelele missed but the surprised Tevez could not turn the ball into the net.

Right on half-time, Chelsea were back in it. Essien’s drive hit Vidic and Ferdinand before bouncing obligingly across to Lampard, who clipped a left-foot effort past Van der Sar and equalized to 1-1.

The second half was dominated by Chelsea although, in the 54th minute, Ronaldo find some space for Patrice Evra but the Frenchman over-hit his cross and a good chance was wasted.

United almost grabbed the winner when Evra pulled the ball back for Ryan Giggs who seemed certain to score only for Terry to head the veteran Welshman’s miss-hit shot away for a corner.

In a feisty finale Drogba received red card and was sent off for stupidly flicking his hand in to Vidic’s face.

After extra-time, penalty-kicks begin and Ronaldo’s nervy third penalty for Manchester United was saved by Petr Cech and Chelsea took the lead.

Terry was one kick away from the greatest moment of his career as he stepped up to take his team’s fifth penalty-kick. All Terry had to do was put the ball in the net from 12 yards and the cup would belong to Londoners, but he misses the chance.

The kicks then went to sudden death and, after Anderson and Salomon Kalou had scored, Ryan Giggs coolly slotted home on his record-breaking 759th United appearance to make it 6-5. Source

Former Chelsea boss and current “I’m on Setanta Sports” presenter Jose Mourinho has had discussions with Inter Milan about becoming their new manager.

Mourinho’s personal advisor, Eladio Parames, has said that the 44-year-old and his agent Jorge Mendes flew to Italy yesterday to begin negotiations with Inter chairman Roberto Moratti.

“It is true they are in Italy and will return to Lisbon on Saturday,” Parames said.

The Portuguese has been linked with a number of European clubs, and the England job, since he left Chelsea in September last year.

AC Milan and Barcelona have been speculated as clubs where Mourinho could return to management this summer but Parames has said that Inter had contacted the former Porto coach.

“Of course, it was Inter who contacted Mourinho and his agent, not Mourinho contacting them,” Parames said.

“Mourinho always showed interest in working in Italy, and he received the contact with pleasure.”

Talks will raise suspicions as to whether Coach Roberto Mancini will be sacked at the end of the current campaign. Mancini announced he would step down at the end of the season following their Champions League exit to Liverpool earlier this month but reneged on that decision 24 hours later.

Milan is four points clear at the top of Serie A following last week’s defeat to third-placed Juventus. Meanwhile, Luis Figo is close to reaching an agreement to extend his stay with the Italian champions, according to the player’s agent Miguel Macedo.

“These reports about Mourinho have nothing to do with Luis Figo’s interest in staying with Inter. Since Luis joined the club, many good things have happened to him.

“He has a great relationship with Roberto Moratti, who showed interest to keep Luis Figo in the club.”

Mourinho is the ideal man to rebuild Inter’s squad into an effective team that can win in Italy and perform in Europe. He may begin immediately by poaching Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard from Chelsea.
