Los Blancos secured their spot in the final with a resounding 4-0 win at Camp Nou, as the Ballon d'Or winner scored his second hat-trick of the week

Real Madrid love these nights. The Spanish giants were behind on aggregate to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final, facing Europe's best defensive side in a stadium where they had only conceded twice domestically all season.

Yet Carlo Ancelotti's side put four past their arch-rivals without really breaking a sweat. It was another entry for Ancelotti's fine collection of comebacks, with Madrid running out 4-1 aggregate winners to book a spot in the Copa del Rey final.

It took a blustery 60 seconds for the tie to be levelled — and 15 minutes for it to be turned on its head.

At the end of the first half, Robert Lewandowski was denied at one end by Thibaut Courtois and Madrid broke swiftly. The sweeping move was started and finished by Vinicius Jr, with a lovely Karim Benzema cut-back in between to lock the tie at 1-1 right before half-time.

Then came the Ancelotti magic. Benzema was at the centre of it all, bagging a hat-trick for a second game in a row and battering a stunned Barcelona defence.

He got Madrid going after the break, sweeping the ball into the far corner after a dart and pass from Luka Modric. He was ruthless thereafter, scoring from the spot for Madrid's third after Franck Kessie tripped Vinicius in the box, and adding the fourth with a delightful dink from an incisive Vinicius run.

There is indeed a trophy up for grabs here, and Madrid will fancy themselves in the final against Osasuna. But perhaps more importantly, they seem to be recapturing their magic ahead of a massive Champions League meeting with Chelsea next week.

GOALbreaks down the winners and losers from Camp Nou…

Getty ImagesWINNER: Karim Benzema

Over these past couple of seasons, Karim Benzema has pretty much done it all, culminating in a richly deserved Ballon d'Or triumph. However, there was one thing missing from his stellar CV: a Clasico hat-trick. Well, the wait is over, with the France forward netting a treble in his 43rd outing against Barcelona.

Oh, and he also set up Vinicius' vital opener with a wonderfully disguised and executed cut-back for his Brazilian team-mate.

Benzema truly is one of the game's great No.9s, the kind of forward who can do it all. And best of all, he's showing no signs of slowing up. With Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi long gone, the Clasico has a new king.

Kessie was probably the most impressive Barcelona midfielder for the first half, but had a nightmare of a second. He was overrun by Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, and gave away a foolish penalty to hand Madrid their third on the night.

Vinicius was going nowhere when Kessie dangled a leg. The Brazilian admittedly made the most of it, but Kessie offered the chance for Vinicius to go over – a true lapse of judgment from an experienced player who should know better.

He was sacrificed after an hour for Ansu Fati, and was deservedly the first Barcelona midfielder to be removed from proceedings. Kessie is not the only Barcelona player at fault here, but his braindead moment allowed Madrid to pull away.

GettyWINNER: Carlo Ancelotti

Ancelotti joked with Osasuna coach Jagoba Arrasate back in February that the pair would meet again in the Copa del Rey final, and somehow he was right!

Madrid fans feared the worst when they saw the line-up: Eduardo Camavinga at left-back; Luka Modric and Toni Kroos in midfield without the legs of Aurelien Tchouameni behind them.

But Ancelotti's bold selection was fully vindicated. Camavinga was one of the best players on the pitch, Kroos controlled the game in the second half, while Modric provided the assist for Benzema's crucial second goal. Ancelotti may well move on this summer but, right now, he remains 'The Boss'.

GettyLOSER: Raphinha

Raphinha was far too predictable on Wednesday. The Brazilian insisted on trying to cut sharply onto his left foot every time he received a pass. And his opposite number, Camavinga, who is by no means a natural left-back, did not have any difficulty in stopping him.

Raphinha lost the ball relentlessly, killing Barcelona attacks before they had even started to mark a truly forgettable showing from a player who has struggled for consistency. He needed to have a big game here, especially with Barcelona lacking some of their big names in midfield. Instead, Raphinha was unreliable and lacking in quality.

This wasn't necessarily a failure of attacking football — some of Barcelona's defending was truly terrible — but Raphinha is not the attacking game-changer that Barcelona thought they were getting last summer.

Stuart Binny said he got the opportunity to spend some time in the middle against Zimbabwe, something he had not had in his previous ten ODIs

Liam Brickhill10-Jul-2015Stuart Binny has been a professional cricketer for more than a decade, and an international one for 18 months. Yet in 10 one-day internationals before this one he’d never really had the chance to show what he’s capable of with the bat. In the first ODI against Zimbabwe, Binny walked out with his side in deep trouble at 87 for 5 – but importantly there was still half the innings to be played, and he had time to express himself fully with a career-best 77 at better than a run a ball.”I’ve played 10 ODIs and I haven’t had the opportunity to bat more than five or six overs,” Binny said. “It was a great opportunity for me to go and spend some time in the middle and try and get as much as we could.”Binny didn’t have it all his way at the start of his innings. With Chamu Chibhabha in the middle of a parsimonious spell of medium pace, Binny suppressed his attacking instincts for a good half hour before biffing legspinner Graeme Cremer over long-on for six. Slowly but surely Binny and his partner, centurion Ambati Rayudu, eased India back into the game.”We didn’t set any totals when we went into bat, we just wanted to bat the next 10 overs and try not to lose any more wickets. It was a bit tough, but the wicket started to ease out a bit. Once you were set you could rotate the strike a bit more and play a few shots. But we just wanted to bat the first ten overs.”The pair eventually added 160 for the sixth wicket – a record for India – and combined to help India reap 90 runs from the last 10 overs as the hosts’ attack grew increasingly ragged. The match was ultimately a close one, with India winning by just four runs, and Binny stressed upon the advantage of having set batsmen in the crease at the death.”The difference was when we were batting it was me and Rayudu both set at that point of time, but [Zimbabwe] had one batsman set and the other one was trying to rotate the strike so two didn’t go hard at the same time. But when we were batting we set the platform. We had batsmen in the shed who could go, and we were both set on 60-plus. If you’re set you’ve got to take it as far as you can.”With all of the matches on this tour being played at Harare Sports Club, it’s likely that India will have to overcome bowler-friendly conditions again, and Binny suggested that a healthy respect for the new ball was needed.”If we get a chance to bat up front again early in the morning it’s crucial, with the Dukes ball that does swing and seam a bit, that we’ve got to give the bowlers a lot more respect, compared to playing with the Kookaburra ball in other ODIs. If you can get through the first 15 overs without losing more than a wicket or two, then we’ve got the firepower to get 300 in an ODI.”

Suriname’s anticipated debut at the ICC Americas U-19 Division One championship will have to wait at least another two years after the team was forced to withdraw from the event starting on Sunday in Bermuda

Peter Della Penna06-Jul-2015Suriname’s anticipated debut at the ICC Americas Under-19 Division One championship will have to wait at least another two years after the team was forced to withdraw from the event starting on Sunday in Bermuda. According to an ICC release, the U-19 Division Two champions had to pull out after failing to secure transit visas.A source told ESPNcricinfo that because there were no direct flights from Suriname to Bermuda, the squad needed to secure visas to transit through either the USA or Canada in order to get to Bermuda. However, the visa applications were not processed in time.The tournament’s format originally stipulated that the four competing teams – Bermuda, USA, Canada and Suriname – would play an initial round-robin stage after which the lowest-ranked team on the points table would be eliminated before commencing a second round-robin stage with the three remaining teams. Instead, USA, Bermuda and Canada will play a double round-robin amongst themselves, as was the format in 2013.The first-place team in Bermuda gains automatic entry into the 2016 ICC U-19 World Cup in Bangladesh. The runner-up will have a second chance at qualification in a global qualifier comprised of runner-up teams from other ICC Associate regions due to be held in Nepal later this year.In addition to the 10 Full Members who received automatic entry, other teams to have qualified for next year’s U-19 World Cup include Afghanistan, Namibia and Fiji while the runner-up teams who have gained a spot at the repechage qualifier are Nepal, Uganda and Papua New Guinea. The ICC Europe U-19 Qualifier begins on July 11 in Jersey.

Isam: Bangladesh won it in style

A maiden ODI series win, and whitewash, over Pakistan. And now a maiden T20 triumph against the same team. Bangladesh have dominated the limited-overs leg of this tour, and added to that narrative with a seven-wicket thrashing in Mirpur.A haphazard batting performance left the onus on the Pakistan bowling again. With only 141 to defend though, all Bangladesh needed was one partnership. That need increased a touch when the score slipped to 38 for 3, but Shakib Al Hasan and Sabbir Rahman steadied ship and shut Pakistan out with a 105-run stand. Both batsmen collected half-centuries and were around for the winning runs to be scored.Their strokes were crisp and both batsmen imposed themselves on the bowlers despite reputation. Umar Gul’s two overs went for 23. Wahab Riaz was clattered for seven fours in four overs and nursed an economy rate near 10. Shakib and Sabbir were together for over 10 overs and the partnership run-rate was 9.84.”They are in such a great momentum,” Shahid Afridi conceded after the match. “We have to learn from the way the Bangladeshi players played”It wasn’t mere generosity either. After Pakistan had decided to bat, the cricket was so ordinary that it appeared the broadcasters had switched from the live feed to a blooper reel. Ahmed Shehzad, beset by rust, spent 10 balls on zero. He went hands first at the ball but could not find it. The defensive bat not working, he decided to hit his way out of trouble. Cue inside and outside edges. Finally, and ironically, the first promising stroke he played led to his downfall. A crisp lift, the elbow high and the head still, ended up in the hands of long-off.Shehzad, a man who hasn’t played for Pakistan in a month was paired with a man playing for Pakistan for the first time. Mukhtar Ahmed appears a power hitter, and despite trying a slog every other ball he walked back with 37 off 30 balls.Afridi hiked himself up to No. 3, for the first time in T20Is since November 2013, missed two balls, and was judged caught behind when there was daylight between bat and ball. The umpires’ two cents to a first hour of cricket that left much to be desired. Afridi even signaled for a review, and was told DRS wasn’t being used for the match.Mushfiqur Rahim evened the scales by missing a straightforward stumping off Mukhtar in the sixth over. There were multiple run-out chances that weren’t converted. The saving grace, though, was Bangladesh’s new-ball bowlers.Mustafizur Rahman, a 19-year old left arm seamer, got the ball to jag around quite strikingly and tormented Shehzad – 10 balls faced, only one run scored. Mashrafe Mortaza hit the off-stump corridor. Shakib’s darts around leg stump frustrated a set of batsmen, who wanted to cane the ball more than hit the gaps. What would hurt Pakistan was despite their constant slogs, there were 52 dot balls in the innings and only one boundary in the final four overs.

United have banned four media outletsRonaldo had slammed Ten Hag for his methodsMorgan aims a fresh dig at the Dutch coachWHAT HAPPENED?

The Red Devils banned four media outlets from attending Ten Hag's press conference ahead of their encounter against Chelsea following reports of dressing room unrest in the wake of their latest defeat to Newcastle United at St. James' Park last weekend.

Morgan, who has never shied away from criticising the Dutch manager for the treatment he handed out to Ronaldo before hisexplosive interviewthat saw him leave Old Trafford prematurely, did not pass up a fresh opportunity to slam the 53-year-old.

Morgan tweeted: "REMINDER: Everything ⁦@Cristiano told me a year ago about Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag has been proven correct."

Soon after he added another tweet that read: "Pathetic. You can pull this stunt when you’re the greatest manager of all time like Sir Alex, but to do it when you’re as bad as Ten Hag and the journalists are accurately reporting how bad you are, is laughable."

The Arsenal fan even went on to urge other journalists to refrain from covering Ten Hag in another tweet: "WTF? I hope every other journalist now boycotts this press conference in solidarity with their colleagues. And yes, I’d say exactly the same if Arsenal behaved like this."

GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Before leaving United Ronaldo claimed that he had "no respect" for Ten Hag. He even insisted that there were "some things inside that don’t help (us) reach the top level " which was perceived as a direct reference to the coach's methods that were holding the team back. United are currently struggling in seventh, nine point adrift of Arsenal at the Premier League summit.

WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?

Ten Hag is in dire need of a win against Chelsea on Wednesday at Old Trafford. It will be a tall order for a beleaguered United side that have lost to every side they have faced in the top half of the table so far this season.

Shakib Al Hasan believes that Bangladesh should start as favourites in the ODI series against Pakistan later this month, and said it was their best chance to beat the side

Mohammad Isam02-Apr-2015Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan believes his side should start as favourites in the ODI series against Pakistan later this month, and said it was their best chance to beat the side on home soil.Shakib, who left for Kolkata on Thursday, will be playing the first two games of IPL 2015 for his franchise Kolkata Knight Riders before returning home to play against Pakistan. Pakistan are likely to arrive in mid-April with a new-look side, without the retired Misbah-ul-Haq and Shahid Afridi.”I will start training from tomorrow,” Shakib said. “I will only play two matches in the IPL so the Pakistan series will be on my mind. If I do well in the two matches, that confidence will work in my favour.”I think we should be starting as favourites to win the ODI series against Pakistan. I think this is our best chance to win against Pakistan. Everyone in the team believes so, too. We have proved that we can beat any team at home. If we play our best cricket, we can do well against any side. We beat New Zealand seven times, and they are the World Cup runners-up.”Bangladesh have won only one in 32 games against Pakistan, with the sole victory coming in the 1999 World Cup. The teams have played two bilateral ODI series in Bangladesh previously, apart from a single game in 1999, with Pakistan winning all the matches. The forthcoming tour, involving two Tests, three ODIs and a T20, has had its share of controversies with an impasse between the concerned boards over revenue-sharing.According to Shakib, 2015 will be a critical year for Bangladesh’s ODI prospects, especially with a 10-team World Cup looming on the horizon. Bangladesh are currently ranked ninth with 76 points, after gaining only one point following the World Cup. They are scheduled to take on Pakistan, India, South Africa and Australia this year.”It is a very important year for us since it will be a 10-team World Cup next time. We need to go up the rankings,” he said. “If we can win against higher-ranked sides, we will get more points.”Ultimately we have to stay within the top eight to play in the World Cup. We have been around No 9 and 10 for a long time. We got up to No 8 for a brief period, but now we have to get to that level and stay there.”Shakib also felt his performance in the World Cup could have been better as the tournament wore on, after he made two fifties in the first three games but only totaled 35 runs in his last three innings. He also took eight wickets at an average of 37.25, giving away runs at 5.16 per over (compared to an overall rate of 4.30).He was impressed with the Bangladesh newcomers and urged them to keep performing rather than learning at the highest level.”There is no end to performing better. I think I did well in the World Cup. If I could have ended the tournament like I had started, it obviously would have been better,” Shakib said. “Still, I don’t think I should be disappointed about the numbers next to my name in this World Cup.”I thought the new players did well. The team performed, which is the most important thing. Soumya, Sabbir and Taskin played well. The senior players were also up to the mark. The team is in good shape. The young players have to perform, not to be taught.”

Real Madrid have reportedly made their decision on Toni Kroos' future as his contract nears its expiry in the summer.

German midfielder nearing the end of his contractMadrid mulling to hand him a one-year extensionContinues to be a cornerstone in their midfieldWHAT HAPPENED?

With Carlo Ancelotti's contract already extended until 2026, the likelihood of Kroos staying for another year has increased, reports German media outlet . The Italian manager highly values Kroos for his strategic prowess at the centre of the park and is advocating his extension, especially with fellow midfielder Luka Modric's diminished importance at the club.

Despite the emergence of younger talents like Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni, Kroos remains a key figure in Real Madrid's midfield as he continues to impress consistently in crunch matches for Los Blancos. His recent performances have convinced the Madrid hierarchy of his enduring quality and it has been reported that talks over his contract extension are expected to commence at the end of March, with both parties keen on reaching an agreement.

DID YOU KNOW?

Kroos has allegedly made it clear to his entourage that he intends to either continue with the Spanish giants or retire from professional football at the end of the current campaign. If he chooses to try his luck for more silverware beyond the summer, Madrid are ready to offer him a new one-year contract, similar to the arrangement in 2023.

Nonetheless, Madrid will remain a significant part of his life post-retirement as his family including his wife and children have found comfort in Spain.

On a day when Australia and India each had a dominant opener – Rohit Sharma made 138 and Aaron Finch 96 – the difference between the sides was Mitchell Starc

Agarkar: Starc just kept attacking

On a day when Australia and India each had a dominant opener – Rohit Sharma made 138 and Aaron Finch 96 – the difference between the sides was Mitchell Starc. For the second consecutive game, Starc broke through in the first over of the match. For the second straight time he was Man of the Match in an Australian win. In Sydney he took four wickets against England; here it was six against India.Starc’s 6 for 43 was the second-best return ever in an ODI in Australia, and his efforts cannot be underestimated. Both of Australia’s wins to begin this tri-series have occurred in good conditions for batting. At the MCG, India chose to bat first and Rohit’s 138 could have been the catalyst for a huge total, but Starc ensured that Suresh Raina’s 51 was the only other contribution of significance.India finished on 8 for 267, leaving Australia to chase exactly the amount they successfully pursued against South Africa at the same ground in November. That win came with exactly six balls to spare, and James Faulkner at the crease. Remarkably, this victory also came with exactly six balls to spare and Faulkner at the crease. His finishing ability was again on display as he and Brad Haddin took 16 off the 49th over.Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the bowler, and had just delivered a wicket-maiden. But in the 49th, Haddin struck one boundary and Faulkner two, including the winning runs, a sweep past fine leg for four. Australia’s four-wicket win was complete. India’s problem had been a lack of incision from their bowlers earlier, allowing Finch to compile half-century stands with David Warner and Shane Watson, and a 101-run partnership with Steven Smith.The wickets for India came sporadically. Warner skied a catch off Umesh Yadav for 24, Watson entertained with 41 from 39 balls before he was bowled trying to sweep Akshar Patel, and Smith struck a slower bouncer from Mohammed Shami to midwicket on 47. There was no sense of momentum from India in the field, and Australia easily milked runs through the middle of the chase.Finch was not required to play the ultra-aggressive game he sometimes does, striking his 96 from 127 deliveries with five fours and two sixes. He did not always get the ball out of the middle of the bat, but worked it around adequately enough to cause India problems. He edged behind off Yadav with 49 still required off 59 balls, but it would have taken a collapse for Australia to muff their lines.There nearly was one, as George Bailey was stumped off R Ashwin for 5 and Glenn Maxwell caught and bowled for 20 in Bhuvneshwar’s wicket maiden. But Faulkner and Haddin were good enough to get Australia home from a position of 20 runs needed from 17 balls.The day had started perfectly for Australia after MS Dhoni chose to bat. Starc had broken through twice in the first over of the match against England in Sydney on Friday and here he again struck in the opening over, albeit only once, when Shikhar Dhawan edged to slip. The total became 2 for 33 when debutant Gurinder Sandhu’s extra bounce had Ajinkya Rahane caught behind.Virat Kohli was unable to immediately transfer his Test form to the ODI series and top-edged a catch off Faulkner, which left India at 3 for 59. But Rohit and Raina then steadied the innings with a 126-run partnership that carried India out of danger and into a position from which they could have pressed on to a hefty total. Then came Starc’s second wind.He had Raina caught at mid-on for 51 off 63 deliveries, Dhoni chopped on for 19 and two balls later Patel was lbw for a duck. Starc completed his five-for by picking up Rohit, caught off a full toss searching for some quick runs in the dying overs, and it was the fourth time Starc had taken an ODI five-for. Only Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath have done that more times for Australia, even though Starc has played only 30 games.By bowling Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a golden duck next ball, Starc also became the sixth Australian to take at least six wickets in an ODI, and the first to do it in Australia. His red-ball work over the past year might have been mixed, but with the white ball Starc is approaching unplayable levels. Only Ajit Agarkar has ended an ODI in Australia with better figures than Starc, and then by only one run.By comparison, Pat Cummins, Faulkner and Sandhu struggled to contain India in quite the same way. Sandhu, who became Australia’s 206th ODI cricketer, bowled with tight lines early but later in the innings was wayward. Rohit enjoyed batting against Sandhu, Faulkner and Cummins, and continued his habit of taking the Australians apart in limited-overs cricket.His third ODI century against them, and his sixth in total, should confirm his place as India’s opener of choice for the World Cup, a position for which he was preferred in this game to Rahane, who batted at No.3. Rohit was keen to score from the word go, and clubbed Cummins back over the bowler’s head for six in the fourth over, one of four sixes he struck during his innings.He also picked up nine fours and brought up his century from his 109th delivery; notably Warner at third man was clapping as Rohit celebrated by raising his bat to the crowd. Rohit and Warner had a heated exchange earlier when it appeared the Australians were annoyed that India had taken an overthrow, believing the throw had deflected off Rohit.Replays could not verify whether the ball had struck Rohit, but could confirm that he was on the end of some angry-looking words from Warner, and the umpire John Ward had to step in. It could not detract from a fine innings from Rohit, who had struggled during the recent Test series.He scored plenty of runs behind the wicket on both sides and frustrated the Australians by picking the gaps, and every run was cheered by a huge contingent of Indian fans in the crowd of 34,253. Those fans went home unhappy with the result, but pleased with what they saw from Rohit ahead of the World Cup.
