3 sports story reviews

This article was an interesting one because it talked about the recently played Champion's League game between Fc Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain.
These two teams are exact opposites, one a gloried team, built from the bottom with players grown from their youth squad. The other, PSG, a team taken over by rich oil tycoons, who injected money to bring superstars to the capital of France.
The game was thrilling, really one that should be read about.

The article is over Fc Bayern vs Juventus, and the highlights and grades each player should get.
Fc Bayern and Juventus were two teams who had played yesterday as well. This game wasn't nearly as close as the Barcelona-PSG game.
Bayern absolutely crushed the timid looking Juventus, who were previously thought to have the best defense in all of Europe. That defense doesn't look nearly as good after they lost 4-0 on aggregate.

This article talks about the game between the Phoenix Suns, and the Dallas Mavericks. The Suns finally ended a ten game losing streak, and in the process ended the Mav's hopes of making the playoffs.
This game also ended Dallas's record of beating the Suns ten games in a row at home, making this the first time that Phoenix has beaten Dallas since 2007.
This game ended a lot of good things for Dallas, but also ended a lot of bad things for Phoenix.
