King's Cup Trophy Destroyed - Football Cups Tickets
Reportedly, Spain’s most treasured football trophy, the King’s Cup, slipped from the hands of Sergio Ramos, fell under the team bus and was crushed into pieces.
Real Madrid defender Ramos held the 15-kilo (33-pound) trophy above his head in an open-top bus as the triumphant team were about to enter Madrid’s central Cibeles Square, packed with fans partying throughout the night.
But he lost his grip and the Cup, which Real Madrid got their hands on just hours earlier for the first time since 1993 after a 1-0 victory over Barcelona, fell in front of the bus.
The team bus then ran over the silver trophy before stopping.
Police rushed to retrieve the Cup and gave it to the bus driver but it was not displayed to the public again.
Emergency services workers picked up at least 10 pieces of the trophy, news radio Cadena Ser reported. “It fell, it fell, it’s fine, it’s fine,” said Ramos.

Barcelona v Manchester United
Barcelona to Play Manchester United in Summer Match
The top team in the England Premier League will play against the top team in the Spanish Football League - La Liga - this summer as Manchester United takes on Barcelona.
Man United will meet Barcelona in a friendly clash in Washington DC as part of their pre-season tour to the United States.
''Tours are a fantastic chance for the players to get away as a unit, to put in some good training sessions and to meet some of our fans around the world who don't have a chance to watch us play live every week,'' said Ferguson.
''Our visits to the US are always enjoyable ones. The training facilities are excellent and we certainly found last year that, with the improving quality of the MLS teams, the games are very competitive, which is great preparation for a new season.
''To finish off with a match against Barcelona will be a special moment for all our fans in the States.''
United open against New England Revolution on July 13 in Boston before travelling west to meet Seattle Sounders a week later. Next comes a game against Chicago Fire on July 23 before they take on the MLS All-Stars in New Jersey on July 27 and Barca in Washington.

Spanish Copa del Rey FINAL 2011: FC Barcelona v Real Madrid
Barca and Real fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming King's Cup - Spainish Copa de Rey. The clash of the giants will be played at E Stadium in Valencia, Spain on April 20, 2011.
The popular contest is also a clash between Spain's two top goal scorers, Lionel Messi (Barcelona) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madird).
LIONEL MESSI
Messi's last match was a 2-1 victory against Getafe. Super-Messi almost gave Barca the lead with an impressive overhead kick after seven minutes, but the Argentinian - improvising with his back to goal - saw his effort saved by Getafe goalkeeper Jordi Codina. A powerful Dani Alves strike and a deflected Bojan Krkic effort gave Barcelona victory at home to Getafe in the Primera Division. Lionel won the 2009 and 2010 World Player of the Year awards.

"Messi is my Maradona," said Maradona himself, as the head coach of the Argentine national team.
CRISTIANO RONALDO
Ronaldo's last match was a 2-1 win against Athletico Madrid. Real Madrid continued their long-standing domination of city rivals Atletico Madrid with the win - and keep the pressure on Primera Division leaders Barcelona. Benzema struck his 10th goal from his last eight appearances to put Madrid ahead early on, and Mesut Ozil added a second before the break. Ronaldo won the Champions League with Manchester United in 2008, and subsequently was named FIFA's World Player of the Year. Cristiano's name Ronaldo came from his father's favorite actor, Ronald Reagan.

"I have nothing but praise for the boy. He is easily the best player in the world. He is better than Kaka and better than Messi. He is streets ahead of them all. His contribution as a goal threat is unbelievable. His stats are incredible. Strikes at goal, attempts on goal, raids into the penalty box, headers. It is all there. Absolutely astounding." Sir Alex Ferguson, July 2009.
