Maestro Rui Costa - Benfica's Prodigal Son
His talent got him to the club's first team and to international glory. His heart brought him home.
Genres
Overview
Rui Costa is one the last football romantics. A symbol of devotion, of passion over profit. It's hard to find a player in Benfica's history with such a bond with the club having spent so many seasons abroad. The "Maestro" revives how he got up the ranks to the first team, soon becoming an international star in Italy but always longing to fulfill a promised and emotional return to where his heart calls home.

Chelsea FC - Season Review 2006/07
The 2006/07 season has proved a rollercoaster ride for Chelsea FC and its fans but once again the club emerged triumphant with two more cups to add to the trophy cabinet and many more wonderful memories to savour. For the majority of the season, José Mourinho and his players battled to achieve what no other team had managed in the history of English football - the quadruple! Eventually injuries, which had dogged the side throughout the campaign, and fatigue caught up with them and they had to settle for a cracking double with victory in the Carling Cup and FA Cup. The Blues defeated their arch-rivals Manchester United with a dramatic victory in the first FA Cup at the new Wembley Stadium to complete José Mourinho's collection of medals in English football. This programme is packed with the action, drama and goals from this incredible 2006/07 season. Relive all these wonderful moments time and time again.
