    Twenty-eight years after he left Napoli, Diego Maradona is still fondly remembered in Naples.

    They're currently second in the table - 17 points behind leaders Juventus with six games to go.

    The wait to be crowned champions of Italy goes on.

    Spare a thought for the Benfica fan who has rocked up in the wrong Frankfurt after travelling to Germany to support the Portuguese leaders.

    Alvaro Oliveira made the 28-hour car journey from Lisbon but instead of turning up in the city where his team is defending a 4-2 first leg lead, he has turned up in the town which has the same name on the Poland-Germany border - about 350 miles from where he should be.

    Most opposition managers would be delighted to see Eden Hazard's name missing from the team sheet.

    Not Jindrich Trpisovsky.

    The Slavia Prague boss wants the Chelsea forward to start at Stamford Bridge after appearing as a substitute in the Blues' 1-0 first leg win in the Czech Republic.

    "I think currently he's the best player in the world," said Trpisovsky. "And I'd love for him to play. If he plays that means Chelsea take us seriously.

    "And if we win we would beat the best Chelsea, and we would be respected."
