The bonuses came from the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City. Manchester City have a massive job on their hands picking themselves up after a terrible night in Europe and getting ready to face the Gunners on Sunday.

The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been seen this morning at Madrid airport. It is believed he is armed with £70m to spend after adding the expected profits from winning the Champions League to the £40m already taken off Man City for Emanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure.

He is believed to be going to the Bernabeau first where he will persuade Real Madrid to sell him Rafael Van Der Vaart for £10m. The Holland midfielder has already indicated that he would love to move to the Premiership, and Arsene Wenger is his favourite manager in the whole world. .......Read the full article here
