NESTA: THE TWO MATCH SUSPENSION CONFIRMED MILAN - The Court of Federal Justice has today confirmed the two days of suspension for Alessandro Nesta, thus rejecting the Rossoneri's appeal. The player will miss the match against Juventus.

Kaka: Cristiano Ronaldo Is The Best Milan star Kaka believes Cristiano Ronaldo is the best in the world and he has tipped Manchester United to win the Champions League. The Rossoneri playmaker won the Ballon d’Or and the World Player of the Year last season for his great year with Milan which saw him drag his side to Champions League glory. Kaka however feels that the Portugal international needs to show more if he is to win the Ballon d’Or and he also believes that Manchester United will win the Champions League. “Manchester United are playing the best football at the moment, but anything can happen, but for me they are favourites to win the Champions League,” Kaka told Sky Sport Italia. “I am not surprised that all the English teams are doing well as they have become used to it in Europe. “There could even be an all-English final and Chelsea could be the team to face off with United as the Blues are used to all the big games. “It’s also true that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best football in the world at the moment. “He is world class but to win the Ballon d’Or there are other factors to take into account, the Euros could provide further proof." Kaka has also opened the San Siro door for both Lionel Messi and Fernando Torres by revealing his fondness for their ability. “It’s a shame that Messi is injured but I really like him as well as Fernando Torres,” he revealed. Kaka will no doubt be hoping his side can qualify for the next edition of the Champions League as they are currently a worrying four points off fourth place in the league with just six games left to play.

Pato To Miss Juve Clash? Alexandre Pato could be set to heap more injury problems on Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, as he is a doubt for tomorrow’s trip to Juventus. The 18-year-old has had a sensational start to life in Serie A, hitting seven goals in just 14 league appearances. Pato missed last week’s 3-1 win over Cagliari due to an injury to the abductor muscle in his thigh. He was expected to recover in time for tomorrow’s big match against Juventus in Turin, however it seems that this will not be the case. The Brazilian is currently rated as a doubt, with Pippo Inzaghi set to fill in as the lone frontman once again. Pato’s injury heaps more problems on Carlo Ancelotti, who is already without a host of first team players. Massimo Oddo is out for the season, Alessandro Nesta and Marek Jankulovski are both doubts, while Kakha Kaladze is suspended after picking up a booking against Cagliari. Milan are struggling to qualify for next season’s Champions League as they are currently four points behind fourth-placed Fiorentina, with just six games of the season remaining.

Raúl Out Of Spain's Prelim Euro 2008 Squad Raúl González will not be going to the European Championships with Spain after being left out of a list of 31 names called upon to have inoculations for the tournament. Coach Luis Aragonés was forced to name a pool of players from which he will name his squad in May after UEFA stated that every squad member be vaccinated against a outbreak of Central European Encephalitis and that means having the jabs early. Reluctantly, the veteran trainer has given over the names and Raúl's absence is not that unexpected with the Real Madrid skipper not having represented his country since September 2006. Aragonés has chosen to name the players that he tried once or twice with Barça's Bojan Krkic, Sevilla's Andrés Palop and Getafed duo Rubén De la Red and Pablo Hernández being included. Los Merengues do have Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos include, while Barcelona have Bojan as well as Carles Puyol, Xavi and Andrés Iniesta. David Albelda has also been named despite not playing for Valencia since December, while Álvaro Arbeloa has also been retained along with Liverpool team-mates Xabi Alonso, Pepe Reina and Fernando Torres. The absence of Raúl may meet with an outcry from the Madrid-biased press, such as AS, who were driving a campaign to see the goalscorer recalled. But that plan looks certain to have failed as those included in the 31 that do not make the initial squad, will be used as cover in case of injuries, meaning that Raúl will not even sneak in through the back door. The 31 players called up on to have the vaccinations are: Real Madrid - Iker Casillas, Serio Ramos Barcelona - Andrés Iniesta, Xavi, Carles Puyol, Bojan Krkic Real Mallorca - Daniel Güiza, Fernando Navarro Arsenal - Cesc Fàbregas Liverpool - Pepe Reina, Álvaro Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres Getafe - Rubén De la Red, Pablo Hernández Sevilla - Andrés Palop Real Betis - Juanito Valencia - Carlos Marchena, Joaquín, David Villa, David Silva, David Albelda, Atlético de Madrid - Pablo Ibañez, Mariano Pernía, Antonio López Villarreal - Marcos Senna, Ángel, Joan Capdevilla Espanyol - Raúl Tamudo, Luis García, Albert Riera

Guti Pens New Lifetime Contract Guti has put pen-to-paper on a new contract that could keep him at Real Madrid for the rest of his career after club president Ramón Calderón fulfilled a promise to the player. The 31-year-old has signed a deal that lasts until 2011 and will be automatically renewed every season after that if he appears in the 30 or more official matches for Los Merengues. Calderón set out to tie down Madrid's three most famous homegrown products and saw Iker Casillas and Raúl sign new contracts last month, leaving Guti as the only one not to have confirmed. A deal was never in doubt, however, as the Bernabéu supremo revealed in mid-February that everything was in place for the signing to go ahead and on Thursday it did. "Guti is going to renew for life with Real Madrid very soon, but he is laid back about it and we have not had time to sign anything. The agreement with him is closed though," Calderón said six weks ago. Madrid see the trio of players that have signed 'vitalicio' deals to tie them to the club as icons of the team and have rewarded their performances and loyalty. Guti joined Los Merengues at the age of eight and played for the youth teams between 1984 and 1995 before stepping up to the B side, Real Madrid Castilla and a year later was given his first-team debut.

Dino: Bike frenzy From gizmos to fast cars to fast bikes, speed has always been the mantra of Bollywood hunks. And guess who the latest entrant into Bollywood’s exclusive biker’s club is? None other than Dino Morea, who was spotted zooming around town on his new red bike in Mumbai some days ago. The hunk says, “It’s always been a dream to own one of these beauties and I have finally purchased it, after waiting all these years. Though Indian roads might not be fit for this machine in the mornings, during the night, this baby can touch the limits. I get really excited when I think of going home and hearing the roar of the engine. And when I ride it, my heart beats as fast as the bike goes.” Keep the speed up, Dino, but remember the saying: Speed thrills but... Hopefully you’re talking all the necessary precautions!

Shah Rukh leaves no stone unturned for his team "Kolkata Knight Riders" Actor Shah Rukh Khan is too busy making fancy his Kolkata Knight Riders. The Badshah, we hear, is leaving no stone unturned to promote and perk up the spirits of his team, Kolkata and win the nation's heart. For this, the man with the marketing mind has already pumped in one crore for his first music video which will be choreographed by Ganesh Hegde. Talks are that Shah Rukh will make two more music videos and will record a total of five songs. And this will result in the most expensive music album of all time! We hear that the actor will be roping in some Bong leading ladies to groove with him on a Bangla version, too. No one seems to be 'pitching' in as much as apna Shah Khan, who is putting together all the money, and all his clout to make this a larger-than-life venture. Hope his team 'performs' as well, specially after he lost his bowling spearhead,Shoaib Akhtar before the first ball was bowled!!! We've heard that 'all that glitters'... saying, na?

SRK miffed with Roshan Family When Shah Rukh agreed to do the Krazzy 4 song, producer Rakesh Roshan promised him that if Hrithik’s knee healed, and if he did shoot the same song, then it would only be part of the end credits of the film, and not be used to promote the film. However, both the songs are now being aired on all channels. Dancing is Hrithik’s forte and pitching King Khan against him in a song is an unfair advantage to the former. There are bound to be comparisons that aren’t favourable towards SRK, who did the song as a goodwill gesture. Says a distributor, on the condition of anonymity, “There was an unspoken understanding between Shah Rukh and Roshan Sr that Hrithik’s dance number would only be seen in the film. But the other song promos were not catching on and the film was looking thanda, so at the distributors’ insistence, he released Hrithik’s song for publicity. Rakesh doesn’t like putting in dialogues or film scenes so the only other alternative was to use Hrithik’s number.” The source adds, “SRK did the song in good faith helping out a friend as Hrithik’s knee was in bad shape but now he is probably feeling cheated. A similar thing happened to Shah Rukh even during Heyy Babyy. Sajid Nadiadwala had promised the actor that they wouldn’t use his special appearance in the Mast Kalandar song to promote the film; but they did. It’s time SRK stopped doing favours to people because ultimately, it’s only about business here and making money.” Shah Rukh stated that he hadn’t made any conditions about only using his song to promote the film. He said, “I don’t do conditional work for friends.” When asked if he was upset that Hrithik’s song was used to promote the film, he chose to remain silent.

Wait, Watch and Dont Binge - Shilpa Shetty If our Miami-based sources are to be believed, the cast of Tarun Mansukhani's Dostana including Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra are almost on a holiday. The debutant director has been single-mindedly filming a lavish item number with Shilpa Shetty for almost a week, leaving the rest of the cast with nothing to do. The song-and-dance sequence will feature Shilpa sitting behind a bearded biker on a Harley-Davidson and leading a pack of Harley riders down Hollywood's paved Broadwalk, as the lanky extras sunbathe on the beach. According to the sources, Abhishek, John and Priyanka who are obviously getting bored doing nothing to do, are embarrassed to broach the 'issue' with the director. Meanwhile, the trio has been strictly instructed to avoid binging, especially AB junior, who is extremely fond of burgers and fries. In fact, the three are in quite a sorry state - while the rest of the crew is munching on pizzas and burgers, they are only served moderate portions of grilled fish, bhindi masala, salads and raita for lunch.

Greek God of Bollywood in Madam Tussaud's - Hrithik Roshan There’s a rumour doing the rounds and fast gaining currency that Hrithik Roshan in all his Greek God-like muscled splendour, will join the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at the Madame Tussauds’s Wax Museum in London. The Jodhaa-Akbar star, whose amazing looks, perfect body, incomparable talent and mass appeal has made him a favourite around the world with Bollywood fans, will be the fifth Indian actor to enter the famous waxworks place if this is true.Hrithik laughed off the news as being a 'happy rumour' that has been floating around lately. "I cannot say anything at this point," Hrithik said, "because nobody from Madame Tussauds has contacted me as yet. But it’s a happy and delightful rumour." The action and romantic star, who has a huge following around the world, added, "If it happens, it will certainly be a high compliment and a magnificient acknowledgement of my work. I would be very flattered to be standing next to many legends." Meanwhile, there’s another rumour about Hrithik that could be described as being in the 'happy' category. He and Sussanne are about to be parents again and the story goes that they are expecting twins! Son Hrehan is about to have not one, but two siblings for company. Hrithik laughed again, "That’s not true, there are no twins on the scene, we are looking forward to our next child, yes, but twins is just another happy rumour."
