Manhattan skyline a-ha, oder an allen bekannten vvk-stellen karten-hotline: 01806 700 733 (eur 0,14 p. min.).

Neuer Termin!

Die Tickets behalten Ihre Gültigkeit!

Das Beste aus über drei Jahrzehnten Musik der norwegischen Erfolgsband a-ha hält manhattan skyline in abendfüllender Länge bereit. Erleben Sie ein hochwertiges Programm der schönsten a-ha Songs aus den frühen 80ern bis heute. Die norwegische Pop-Rockband a-ha löste sich 2010 auf, nachdem sie in fast 30 Jahren eine Vielzahl von Nr.1 Hits komponiert und mehr als 80 Millionen Tonträger verkauft hatte. Die Band um Sänger Morten Harket schuf unsterbliche Songs wie „Take on me“, „The Sun always shines on T.V.“ oder „Foot of the Mountain“.

Am 24. März 2015 gaben a-ha auf einer Pressekonferenz in der norwegischen Botschaft in Berlin bekannt, dass sie planen, am 4. September 2015 ein neues Album mit dem Titel Cast in Steel zu veröffentlichen.

Ein weiterer großartiger a-ha Titel veranlasste den englischen Sänger Marcus Baldwin, ansässig in Osnabrück, befreundete Musikerkollegen zu überzeugen, sich um das

musikalische Erbe der berühmten Norweger zu kümmern: „Manhattan Skyline“. Unter

diesem Namen sind seit 2011 vier Musiker (und gelegentlich eine Sängerin) auf Deutschlands Bühnen anzutreffen, um den Spirit von a-ha zu zelebrieren. Manhattan skyline ist europaweit die erste professionelle a-ha Tribute-Band! manhattan skyline bringt die Stimmung und Energie von a-ha originalgetreu auf die Bühne. Dies gelingt der Band nicht nur musikalisch, denn passende Outfits und exzellente Tontechnik, werden dem Publikum ein fantastischer Abend bereitet.

Auch das NDR-Fernsehen wurde auf sie Aufmerksam. In der Sendung „Fühl’s nochmal“ durfte Marcus nur mit Keyboard begleitet The Sun shines always on TV zu Besten geben

manhattan skyline hält die großartige Zeit der norwegischen Kultband wach. Freuen Sie sich auf einen unvergesslichen Abend mit unvergessenen Songs!

Synth-pop sensation a-ha from Oslo, Norway formed in 1982 by Morten Harket (vocals), Magne Furuholmen (keys) and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (guitar) became a global success with the smash hit single “Take On Me”.

Long before the major success that was “Take on Me” the trio formed in Oslo, Norway in 1982 and later moved to London, England to take their career to new heights. It was there they sourced their name taking inspiration from a typical English exclamation. It was also around this time that the trio were introduced to their future manager John Ratcliff.

In 1985 a-ha released their debut album “Hunting High and Low” which officially put them on the map and catapulted into international stardom. Peaking at number one in the Norwegian charts and number two in the UK, the album featured the tracks “Torn”, “The Sun Always Shines on T.V.” and of course the smash hit single “Take On Me”. You’ll hear renditions of the popular track all over the world, whether it’s in karaoke bars or covered by artists such as a1, Tori Amos and ska-punk band Reel Big Fish. The success of the album earned the band a Grammy nomination for Best New Band. The following year the album was also named the best-selling album of the year.

a-ha were invited to play at the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony held in Oslo performing alongside Shania Twain, Elton John and Enrique Iglesias. At the end of “Foot of the Mountain” tour cycle, in 2010 the band announced that they would be calling it a day.

To mark 30 years of band history, in 2015 a-ha reunited to perform at Rock in Rio festival held in Brazil. In that remarkable length of time, the band have managed to amass a sale of over 80 million records worldwide, released nine studio albums, and inspired a multitude of bands such as Coldplay and Keane while remaining in the top list of highest grossing musicians in the world.

Live reviews

So, A-ha return after a five year "farewell" to promote a new album, "Cast In Steel". Well, promote it, I'm not sure, since they played only two songs from it (compared with nine from the first two albums!). A real shame that, as the two they played, the title track and "Under the Makeup" were excellent.

That was one of a few gripes, the second being the lack of songs from later albums, notably Analogue and Memorial Beach, where "Celice" and "Dark is the Night" were omissions. Including those, and a couple more from the latest album would have addressed my third complaint, that the show was criminally short, at 1:45 mins. my final bugbear was one that I have with a lot of bands, that they save all of their 'big' songs for the encores - just wish they would spread them around, and leave the encores as they should be, for bonus songs.

Anyway, that aside, it was a great set, with all (except the two above) key songs represented, most notably in the three song mini-set, where Morten left the stage, for his place on vocals to be taken, in turn, by Pal, Magne and the support act/background vocalist Anni, on three fabulous numbers: "Velvet", "Lifelines" and "Here I Stand and Face The Rain." Then there were the classics, "Hunting High and Low" was awesome as always, as was "Take on Me" to close the encores.

A great show, and it's great to have them back. Hope it won't be long until the next gig.

Norwegian new-wave/synth pop outfit A-Ha were a staple addition to the European airwaves throughout the 1980s having scored numerous hit singles. Despite having disbanded and reunited many times, the group is well and truly back in the musical zone and are planning to release a new album towards the end of 2015. The current setlist though is all about the pop classics of their heyday and it is these vintage gems that keeps fans old and new continuing to attend the tours in high numbers.

The fact the original trio remains in tact helps with the fantastic showmanship they attain as they not only have a natural rapport with each other, but they also convey this rapport to the crowds for are so enthusiastic throughout the show. This is mainly due to the pace never dropping off as the gig is constantly propped up by the appearance of mega hits such as 'The Sun Always Shines on T.V.' and 'Cry Wolf'. These sound as shimmering and shining as ever, yet it is perhaps the encore of 'Take On Me' that receives the largest singalong of the evening. From the deafening final applause, it is no wonder the group have reformed so many times.

I’ve always been a fan of A-Ha. Being an 80s child I listened to them growing up and well into the 1990s. I admit I still listened to them even after most had moved on. Their eclectic music beats and lyrics makes giving them up hard to do. They’re just an 80s band that keeps coming back and back.

Anyway, I saw them live back in 2009. It was my first time too. So after listening to them for nearly 20 years, I finally got to see them alive. Was I disappointed? Not at all! They were flipping amazing.

Their stage setup was quintessentially 1980s but with a modern flair There were no outlandish costumes, but just a fun business casual look. The crowd was cheering in delight and some older members of the crowd had taken out their lighters and stared swinging them side to side. Just like they do in movies. The experience made me feel amazing and it was an auditory experience I’ll never forget in my life.

There are few 1980s bands I’ll bother watching live, but A-Ha is one I’ll buy another ticket for if they’re ever playing live close by. There’s no way I would give up a chance to listen to them again.

When you mention a Norwegian born band that formed in 1982 and that specialise in synth pop, you would probably be at a loose end to conjure up an accompanying name. But then you recall the song ‘Take on me’ and it all begins to ring a bell. I give you… a-ha. The musical trio from Oslo. With over 80 million albums sold worldwide, and having inspired such bands as Coldplay and Keane, the band is one of the most commercially successful bands in the world. They have produced an incredible nine studio albums and have even performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony in 1998, alongside such global superstars as Elton John and Shania Twain. The band have reassembled after their split to tour once more and you would be a fool to deny yourself this one chance to see the band reformed in all their former glory. The band performs all their greatest 80s and 90s hits for the crowd, allowing everyone to sing along to each beloved classic. 'The Sun Always Shines on T.V.' and 'Cry Wolf’ take precedence but it is, of course, ‘Take on me’ that ends the night on a climactic high.

The show was excellent. The boys have definitely not lost their touch. Morten´svoice is still young and able to hit the high notes. A good mic of the old hits and some (not very) new material. The arrangements were mostly new and some songs were just unbelievable. As always, the show ended with "Take on me" - this time in an acoustic version with only the 3 guys. Excellent.

The O2 arena is, in my opinion, very good for this kind of music. We were in section 108 so rather far from the stage but with the good acoustics and some help from the screen, it was just great.

What was not so good (and this hurts to say) was the audience around us. 1,5 hours after the show should have started, loads of people with loads of beer were still pouring in. During the show, many seemingly ignored the music, had loud conversations during the show and went in and out for more beer. Very disturbing for us who went there to listen to music. Manners?

I was a little disappointed with A Ha. I didn't feel much energy coming from the stage. The music was great. At one stage Mags commented about the audience being a little flat. But the energy of a gig comes from the stage, feeds the audience, which feeds back to the stage. So it could have been better.

I was not impressed with the venue at all. My wife is in a wheelchair. We were stuck at the side and could only see half the screens at the back of the stage. The downstairs gents toilet had one of only 2 cubicles blocked. One other 2 disabled toilets was blocked. And the bar was rubbish. Poor choice. Poor service. We were at Royal Concert Hall the previous night. A full bar with slick service. Get your act together Armadillo. The audience deserves better.

This was the first time ever I saw A-ha! I grew up with the music because my mom is a big fan of them.

Also, this was the first time I went to HMH (Heineken Music Hall). Most of the time I go to 'metal' concerts and most of the time they preform in 013 Tilburg. So I was pretty excited to go HMH.

I'm disabled and need to sit in a wheelchair, I was really shocked there was no office box or something else. I had to 'stand' in the regular line. People were pushing me and I didn't feel safe.

The show was great and I was shocked Mortan could still sing the high notes! I got goose bumps when they played Hunting high and low!

I had a great time and made my mom very happy with the tickets!

A great evening, eventually, with a well thought out selection of songs from a-ha's 30yr back catalogue along with a good light show. The evening was almost spoilt by Morten seemingly having serious issues with his earpiece which made him appear serious and grumpy for the first half a dozen or so songs. He then explained that due to travel issues from Glasgow the band were unable to soundcheck and so were doing it as they went along. The second half of the concert was far better once he had engaged with the audience. A final encore including The Sun Always Shines on TV, Living Daylights and Take on Me rounded of a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Absolutely splendid evening.

It was a shaky start with Morten's microphone not working, but it soon improved. All their biggest hits plus a demo version of Train of Thought that was very interesting. The guys still have it...and are looking great.

Highlights were Sun always Shines on TV, I've Been Losing You and Analogue, which they do not sing often enough. I think this was the 13th time I have seen the band, the frst being in 1985, and they certainly did not disappoint.

Amazing! Morten's vocals and the sound was excellent. Would definitely see A-ha again as they are absolutely brilliant live. Played all the classics and some newer tunes too. Would loved to hear more from their Minor Earth, Major Sky or Lifelines albums but ran out of time...too many great songs to fit into one gig!

A nice intimate venue with great acoustics, the Oslo Spektrum was convenient to get to with decent facilities.

Concerts and tour dates of a-ha

A-ha (usually stylized as a-ha; Norwegian pronunciation: [ɑˈhɑː]) is a Norwegian band formed in Oslo in 1982. Founded by Morten Harket (vocals, guitars), Magne Furuholmen (keyboards, guitars) and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (guitars), the band rose to fame during the mid-1980s after being discovered by musician and producer John Ratcliff, and continued its global success in the 1990s and 2000s. A-ha achieved their biggest success with their debut album Hunting High and Low in 1985. That album peaked at number one in their native Norway, number 2 in the UK, and number 15 on the US Billboard album chart; yielded two international number-one singles: ""Take On Me"" and ""The Sun Always Shines on TV""; and earned the band a Grammy Award nomination as Best New Artist. In the UK, Hunting High and Low continued its chart success into the following year, becoming one of the best-selling albums of 1986. In 1994, after their fifth studio album, Memorial Beach, failed to achieve the commercial success of their previous albums, the band went on a hiatus. Following a performance at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 1998, the band returned to the studio and recorded their sixth album, 2000's Minor Earth Major Sky, which was another number-one hit in Norway and resulted in a new tour. A seventh studio album, Lifelines, was released in 2002, and an eighth album, Analogue, in 2005, was certified Silver in the UK – their most successful album there since 1990's East of the Sun, West of the Moon. Their ninth album, Foot of the Mountain, was first released on 19 June 2009 and returned the band to the UK top 5 for the first time since 1988, being certified Silver there and Platinum in Germany. The album peaked at number 2 in Norway (their first release not to reach number one in their home territory). On 15 October 2009, the band announced they would split after a worldwide tour in 2010, the Ending on a High Note Tour. Thousands of fans from at least 40 different countries on six continents congregated to see A-ha for the last leg of the tour. On 4 December 2014, A-ha officially announced its participation at Rock In Rio 2015 which celebrated 30 years for both the band and the event. In 2015, it was announced that A-ha would re-unite for two years. Their tenth studio album, Cast in Steel, was released on 4 September 2015. A tour, named for the album, in support of the album happened in autumn 2015 and March–May 2016. The band has released ten studio albums, several compilations and four live albums. In less than a year, during 2010, the band earned an estimated 500 million Norwegian Kroner from concert tickets, merchandise and the release of a greatest hits album, making them one of the 40–50 largest grossing bands in the world. The band were listed in the Guinness World Records book for having the biggest rock concert attendance; they drew an audience of 198,000 at Maracanã Stadium during Rock in Rio festival. Another record for the band is for singer Morten Harket, who was (and is still) listed in the Guinness World Records book in 2001 for the longest live note held; he held a note in ""Summer Moved On"" for 20.2 seconds. According to their label, Rhino, they have sold 55 million records.

Biografie - a-ha

Das Trio a-ha zählt bis heute zu den weltweit erfolgreichsten Musikgruppen Norwegens. Mit ihrer Mischung aus Synth-Pop und Pop-Rock zählen sie zu den Giganten der europäischen Musiklandschaft und blicken auf eine langjährige Karriere zurück – angefangen in den 1980er-Jahren mit Hits wie "Take On Me" und "The Sun Always Shines On T.V." über ihr 2000er-Comeback mit "Minor Earth, Major Sky" bis hin zur vielbeachteten "MTV Unplugged"-Tour von 2017 bis 2018. Auch heute sind a-ha noch live auf Tour unterwegs.

Morten, Paul und Magne: Drei Namen, die bei Millionen Fans für ein Aha-Erlebnis sorgen. Tatsächlich lässt sich kaum überschätzen, wie groß der Einfluss des Trios auf viele heutige Bands und Solokünstler ist. So bezeichnet Chris Martin von Coldplay die Gruppe als seine erste Lieblingsband und auch U2s Adam Clayton oder Robbie Williams stehen zu ihrer Liebe zu a-ha.

Vom Debüt zum MTV-Welterfolg

Gegründet wird a-ha von Gitarrist Pål Waaktaar-Savoy, Keyboarder Magne Furuholmen und Sänger Morten Harket im Jahr 1982 in Oslo. Der Bandname geht auf einen frühen Song von Pål und Magne zurück, den Morten in Påls Notizbuch entdeckt. Da die Musiker einen weltweit eingängigen Bandnamen suchen, passt kaum etwas besser als der Ausdruck positiven Erstaunens.

Obwohl a-ha als Newcomer noch nicht oho sind, ändert sich alles mit dem Umzug nach London: Mit Hilfe von Produzent John Ratcliff und Manager Terry Slater nehmen sie ihre erste Hit-Single "Take On Me" (1984) auf. MTV verhilft dem Song 1985 zum internationalen Durchbruch. Das wegweisende animierte Musikvideo sorgt für Furore – und gewinnt 1986 sechs MTV Video Music Awards.

Die zweite Single "The Sun Always Shines On T.V." (1985) knüpft mit zwei MTV Video Music Awards an den Erfolg an. Doch "Take On Me" ist bis heute einer der größten Erfolge von a-ha und erreicht Meilensteine in der Musikgeschichte . So ist der Song die erste Nummer-1-Single einer norwegischen Band in den US-Charts. Das Musikvideo knackt im Februar 2020 die Marke von einer Milliarde Views auf YouTube und ist damit erst das zweite 80er-Jahre-Musikvideo, das diesen Rekord für sich verbuchen kann.

Die frühe Glanzzeit der Musikgruppe reicht vom Debütalbum "Hunting High and Low" (1985) über das vierte Album "East Of The Sun, West Of The Moon" (1990) bis zur a-ha-Show beim Rock in Rio Festival 1991 mit Besucherweltrekord: 195.000 Zuschauer zieht es zu der Band ins Maracanã-Stadion – mehr als zu den ebenfalls auftretenden Künstlern Prince und Guns ’N’ Roses zusammengenommen.

Ersehnte Comebacks und MTV-Unplugged-Tour

Nachdem sich die Band ab 1993 zur Schaffenspause zurückzieht, wird ihr Auftritt bei der Nobelpreis-Verleihung 1998 zum auslösenden Moment fürs Comeback. Mit optimalem Timing und dem – Musikkritikern zufolge – perfekten Album "Minor Earth, Major Sky" (2000) besinnen sich a-ha auf ihre Synthpop-Wurzeln . Das Album mit Single-Auskopplungen wie "Summer Moved On" und "Velvet" erreicht Platin-Status und führt zu heiß umkämpften a-ha-Tour-Tickets im neuen Jahrtausend.

Vor der zeitweisen Auflösung von a-ha nach der Tour zum 25. Bandjubiläum 2010 erscheinen noch drei Studioalben sowie das erste Live-Album "How Can I Sleep With Your Voice In My Head" mit den größten Hits der "Lifelines"-Tour. Die Trennung besteht jedoch zum Glück nur fünf Jahre: Schon 2015 folgt das Reunion-Album "Cast In Steel". Mit ihrer Show beim Rock in Rio Festival im Maracanã-Stadion schließt sich 2015 zum 30. Bandgeburtstag der Kreis in Erinnerung an ihren größten Live-Erfolg.

Eine neue a-ha-Ära bricht mit der MTV-Unplugged-Show auf der norwegischen Insel Giske, dem Album "MTV Unplugged – Summer Solstice" und der MTV-Unplugged-Tour an. Das Synthpop-Urgestein verzichtet komplett auf Synthesizer und besinnt sich auf seine Stärke: eingängige und mitreißende Melodien. Der Erfolg gibt a-ha Recht: Die Tickets für die Akustiktour verkaufen sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit .

Auch die 2019 folgende "Hunting High And Low"-Tour und die Dokumentation "a-ha: The Movie" zur Bandgeschichte mit all den Höhen und Tiefen bekräftigen das a-ha-Revival. Absolutes Highlight der Tour: Die Band spielt ihr Debütalbum erstmals in voller Länge. 2022 folgt das Album "True North", begleitet vom gleichnamigen Film und der Wiederaufnahme ihrer "Hunting High And Low"-Tour.

a-ha Fan-Report: Bewertungen und Rezensionen

2 bewertungen (ø 4,5), grosses kino.

Live nochmal besser als auf MTV. Hätte sich Ausverkauft verdient. Traumhafte Arrangements alter Hits. Habs nicht bereut.

Konzert von A-ha

Ich kenne A-ha von Anfang an und war besonders in den 80er Jahren der größte Fan von dieser Gruppe - ganz besonders von Morten Harket, dem Sänger. Allerdings habe ich A-ha am 10.April zu ersten Mal live gesehen und bin von dem Konzert schwer begeistert - sie haben sowohl alte Lieder als auch neue gespielt, sie waren so gut drauf wie eh und je - ein ganz tolles Konzert - ich bin froh, dass ich A-ha wenigstens einmal hören und sehen konnte - ich würde es jederzeit wieder tun. Einfach SUPER !!

2024 Masters predictions, favorites: Ranking the entire field from 1-89 at Augusta National

Where does tiger woods land are jon rahm and jordan spieth higher than expected breaking down the entire field at augusta national golf club.

The 88th Masters is here, and it is now time to rank all 89 golfers in the field as Augusta National opens its doors to the world. 

There are a number of factors that go into these rankings. Past history matters, but so does current form. First-timers get discounted given that a first-timer has not won at Augusta National since Fuzzy Zoeller did it in 1979. Older veterans get discounted because older veterans rarely win majors, but they also get credited because many (like Phil Mickelson) have a tremendous relationship with this golf course.

The perfect Venn diagram is great play at Augusta National over the last few years combined with top-notch current form. There are not a lot of golfers who fit those two groups, and all of those who do are ranked inside our top 10.

Let's take a look at this year's list.

2024 Masters field, ranked

1. Scottie Scheffler (Won in 2022):  Something a bit lost in all the histrionics around Scheffler and his tee-to-green play (currently off the charts) is how solid he's been at major championships. Since he started regularly playing majors as a pro at the 2020 PGA Championship, here's who has had the most top 10s. 

• Rory McIlroy (10)
• Scottie Scheffler (9)
• Jon Rahm (8)
• Collin Morikawa (7)
• Brooks Koepka, Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, Will Zalatoris, Xander Schauffele (6)

Ball-striking wins the day at majors because of the way those golf courses are set up, and Scheffler is one of the great ball-strikers in the last 20 years. But he's also perhaps the most disciplined golfer in the world, which leads to a ton of success at majors. Plus, he's only lost to one golfer in his last three events. A deserving 4-1 favorite and a borderline "[Insert player] or the field?" candidate.

2. Jon Rahm (Won in 2023): It always seemed obvious that he was going to win at Augusta National, but plenty of golfers have seemed like obvious winners at Augusta National and not gone on to win. Now, Rahm can play freely at a place where he has five top nine finishes in his last six starts and nothing worse than a T27 over the course of his career. He almost certainly has Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal's two green jackets circled as numbers he would love to match or even surpass.

Rahm is not playing quite as well overall as he was going into the 2023 Masters, but remember, he was also terrible at a couple of tournaments just before winning Augusta a year ago. The point with him is reserved for a tiny group and is similar to the point about Koepka at this point in his career: His major record is immaculate, and he's always among the top three or four threats to win no matter how he's played in the events leading into a major week. Rahm seven top 10s in 12 majors since 2021 with two victories and three top-five finishes among those.

3. Xander Schauffele (T2 in 2019):  Schauffele has four top 10s in his last five starts and should theoretically be somebody who I have tremendous confidence in to win this event, especially because he's probably been the second-best player in the world so far in 2024. However, he's eroded my confidence with too many late fades at majors. If the question is, "Will Xander Schauffele eventually win a major championship?" I would say it's difficult to be that good for that long and have that many close calls without winning. If the question is, "Am I going to miss it when it happens?" Also probably yes.

4. Brooks Koepka (T2 in 2023): It's been feast or famine for Koepka, who has three top seven finishes in his last five starts at the Masters but also two missed cuts. The safest thing here is to presume that, if he's physically and mentally healthy (which he appears to be), he's going to contend for what would be major win No. 6, which would tie him with Mickelson, Nick Faldo and Lee Trevino. I'm not sure it's even worth looking at how he's playing going into the week ashe only has one top 10 so far this year. He's probably the only player this can be said about, or at least the only one where it's actually true.

5. Rory McIlroy (2nd in 2022): He has tried everything: playing extra tournament golf, playing less tournament, golf, extra practice at Augusta, less practice at Augusta. One year, he juggled. Personally, I believe the best thing for McIlroy to do -- if only because he's so inundated with pressure the second he steps foot on the property -- is fly up the morning of the first round and cut his tee time as close as possible. Close enough that there are multiple stories written about whether his flight is going to get there in time. Play the first three holes with his shoes untied. I'm convinced he'd shoot 64 in the first round and win by three.

I'm (kind of) kidding, of course. Rory continues to have two things going for him. The first is that he's awesome at Augusta National. Here are the strokes gained numbers for players in this field over the last 10 years (minimum 12 rounds played).

• Jon Rahm (2.8)
• Jordan Spieth (2.8)
• Scottie Scheffler (2.8)
• Rory McIlroy (2.5) 

The second is that he's moving in the right direction with fewer mistakes and better iron play at the Texas Open than he had in the weeks preceding that.

If -- and this is always a big "if" when it comes to Rory -- he can control some of the emotional and mental stuff early in the tournament and just play golf, he's going to be in contention multiple times over the next several years, not only to win the Masters but also other majors as well. If he does what he did last year and tells himself he's already 10 down to Koepka on the way to his second round, then he probably has no chance. 

6. Hideki Matsuyama (Win in 2021):  Players with at least 20 rounds played since the beginning of January 2015, ranked by strokes gained at Augusta National:

• Jordan Spieth (2.7)
• Dustin Johnson (2.5)
• Rory McIlroy (2.5)
• Hideki Matsuyama (2.4)

Matsuyama has been incredible so far this year and not missed the cut at the Masters (or finished outside the top 32) since 2014. He should be among the six or seven favorites going in.

7. Wyndham Clark (n/a):  It's hard to believe, but this will be Clark's first Masters. While the numbers say that Schauffele has been better, Clark both has more actual wins (Pebble Beach) and more real chances to win other event (Arnold Palmer and Players Championship). Between him and the next man on this list, this is one of the better chances since 1979 for a first-time Masters golfer to win the tournament.

8. Ludvig Aberg (n/a):  It's been over a decade since somebody won a major in their first attempt (Keegan Bradley in 2011). Aberg and his monstrous driving ability probably represents the best chance to end that streak that we have seen since Bradley beat Jason Dufner in that playoff at Atlanta Athletic Club. Sometimes -- maybe a lot of the time -- at this golf course, no experience at all can usurp some of what the other older guys on this list have gone through.

9. Jordan Spieth (Won in 2015):  Since the statistic was introduced in 2004, here are best strokes gained numbers at Augusta National (minimum 20 rounds):

• Jon Rahm (2.9)
• Tiger Woods (2.4)
• Phil Mickelson (2.3)

That is some insane company. Spieth now has  six  top-four finishes at Augusta after his T4 to Rahm a year ago. Six! No matter how he's playing or what the form is like going in, he is very much like Phil Mickelson at that golf course. Not to be undervalued. Not to be counted out. Also, when he's even remotely competent , he plays well here.

10. Will Zalatoris (2nd in 2021): He might be the new Koepka. His major finishes are staggering. In nine such starts as a professional, he has three second-place finishes and three more top 10s! The other three were a withdrawal, a missed cut and a T28. And while he has been good at non-majors, he hasn't been nearly as good as he's been in majors. This chart from Data Golf shows that clearly. It's difficult to find two bigger over-performers at majors compared to their regular play than Zalatoris and Koepka.

11. Viktor Hovland (T7 in 2023):  Hovland has never missed the cut at Augusta National and has been an extraordinary ball-striker in that time. Among the top 150 in the world currently, he ranks No. 9 in ball-striking at the Masters over the last three years (1.5 strokes gained). However, he's struggling going into the tournament. He does not even have a top 15 so far in 2024.

12. Cameron Young (T7 in 2023):  He's not a great putter, but also ... Hideki Matsuyama won a Masters. He quietly had a top 10 here last year, and his iron play has been humming so far in 2024. I'm intrigued by him as a sleeper to win this event.

13. Collin Morikawa (5th in 2022):  Morikawa has played in four Masters, and though I never really envisioned him as a tremendous Augusta National player, it makes sense that he is because of his terrific iron play. In those four Masters, he has two top 10s and stands as one of just seven golfers to play all 16 rounds and have a strokes gained number over 2.0 (elite). Others include Rahm, Scheffler, Cameron Smith, Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Reed and Shane Lowry. If he wasn't struggling so much (no top 10s) outside of this course, he would be in the top five.

14. Justin Thomas (4th in 2020):  On paper, the fit is so good. J.T.'s short game is magic, and you could argue that he's the best iron player in the world.  His weakness -- arguably accuracy off the tee -- is not a massive issue here. However, he has struggled at times to play his way into contention at Augusta National. A (possibly dumb) theory: He tries to hit  too many  shots instead of just playing stock shots on what's in front of him. He'll opt for that rolling draw on No. 13 and make a mess of what should be an auto-birdie hole for him. That's emblematic of how he's played this course at times. Regardless, there are almost no lingering concerns from a year ago when he was truly terrible at the major championships. J.T. is all the way back from the swing that got him off kilter a bit in 2023 and should be ready to rock for major No. 1. The two things that do give me a bit of pause are a putter that went ice cold at the Valspar Championship and a split from multi-year caddie Jim "Bones" Mackay.

15. Joaquin Niemann (T16 in 2023):  Niemann is playing the best golf of his life, and he's gotten better every single year he's played the Masters. It would be unusual, though, for somebody to go from no top 10s in 19 major tries to winning a green jacket.

16. Patrick Cantlay (T9 in 2019):  One of the biggest mysteries in the professional game right now is why Cantlay is not better at majors. An example: He's been worse statistically than -- checks notes -- Sebastian Munoz, Steve Stricker and Corey Conners at Augusta National over the last 10 years.

17. Matt Fitzpatrick (T7 in 2016): Among the current top players, Fitzpatrick ranks among the top 15 over the last three years in tee-to-green play at Augusta National. I didn't used to think he had the power to thrive at Augusta National, but he has clearly solved that over the last few years, and now I think he can legitimately become the No. 1 player in the world. 

18. Bryson DeChambeau (T21 in 2016): A friend in the media recently randomly texted to inform me that he thinks Bryson is going to win the Masters. (He needed me to know.) I could not disagree more. There's too much nuance. He's missed two straight cuts. His best finish came as an amateur in 2016. He's never been in the top 20. And yet, the skillset is still good enough that I can't rank him any lower.

19. Dustin Johnson (Won in 2020):  In the years leading into his win in 2020, he finished in the top 10 four consecutive times before beating Cam Smith and Sungjae Im in that November Masters. Since then? Missed cut, T12 and T48. It doesn't seem like D.J.'s focus on the majors is what it used to be, hough he does have the talent to win seemingly from out of nowhere.

20. Shane Lowry (T3 in 2022):  Here are the golfers with the most top 25s in the last four Masters:

• T1. Scottie Scheffler, Hideki Matsuyama, Shane Lowry (4)
• T4. Jon Rahm and eight others (3) 

21. Tony Finau (T5 in 2019): Here's a weird one: Finau has only gained .02 strokes per round off the tee at Augusta National over the last three years. That's a similar number to guys like Stewart Cink, Sebastian Munoz, Tyrrell Hatton and Christiaan Bezuidenhout.

22. Russell Henley (T4 in 2023):  Here's a stunner: Henley has better numbers at Augusta National over the last 10 years than Tony Finau, Cameron Smith, J.T., Schauffele, Hovland and Patrick Reed.

Who am I... • Top 20 player in OWGR • Top 15 player in Data Golf • Top 5 last year at Augusta • Top 15 in 3 of last 4 Masters starts • Top 5 at Bay Hill • Top 30 in SG Putting • Top 5 in 3-Putt avoidance • Top 15 in FedEx Cup last year 100-1 currently for next week 👀 — Jamie Kennedy (@jamierkennedy) April 5, 2024

23. Tommy Fleetwood (T14 in 2022): For whatever reason, this has been Fleetwood's worst major. That's relative, of course, but he doesn't have a top 10 here, and he has top fives at the other three (including multiple top fives at the U.S. Open and Open Championship). His iron play at Augusta National of late has been below his normally terrific baseline. That's the stat to watch for him this year.

24. Si Woo Kim (T12 in 2021):  Among the top players right now, Kim has been fourth-best at Augusta National in terms of iron play over the last three years. That's wild! He does the thing you need to do best at Augusta National nearly better than everyone. Only Scheffler, Marc Leishman and Corey Conners have been better in that span.

25. Sahith Theegala (9th in 2023):  If Zalatoris is the new Koepka, Theegala might be the new Spieth: good but wild off the tee, terrific iron player and at times elite short game. He's also an electric factory. Impossible to take your eyes off, and if he plays like he did at the end of last year's Masters -- 67 on Sunday -- you won't need to.

26. Cameron Smith (T2 in 2020):  Forget about the Official World Golf Rankings, Smith is dropping on a much more important list, the Data Golf top 100. After rising all the way to No. 3, he's now closer to No. 50 and not playing at the same level he was when he won The Open in 2022. There is a chance that that Open at St. Andrews was part of the 18-month run that many of the best players have in which they do most of their prolific winning. That doesn't mean he  can't  win Augusta, only that it seems as if he's no longer in that 18-month stretch where he won seven times worldwide from January 2022 to August 2023, which means winning another major -- already a difficult feat -- will that much tougher. 

27. Brian Harman (T12 in 2021):  Hovland changed my mind the most of anyone in 2023 in terms of what he could be as a player. Harman, though, was probably second. I'm not positive what he does necessarily translates to Augusta National -- he's missed three of five cuts there -- but I'm far more intrigued following his Open Championship victory than I was a year ago at this time.

28. Max Homa (T43 in 2023): Homa has been good with his iron play at Augusta National but terrible almost everywhere else. I refuse to believe this is a bad spot for him as it rewards precise, elite iron play, which is his greatest strength. Also, if you can win at Riviera (where Homa has four consecutive top 10s, including a victory), you can win at Augusta National. For Homa, it's about finding the balance between not caring enough and caring too much (which is where he sometimes finds himself).

29. Sam Burns (T29 in 2023):  Burns has yet to top 10 at a major, and there's a reason for that. He does most of his damage off the tee and on the greens, and majors are the most demanding when it comes to iron play where he has been more up and down over the course of his career. It's an area where he's had years of greatness, but overall, it has not been consistently good as his driving or his putting. He's played extraordinary golf so far in 2024 but has dropped off slightly in the last few events.

30. Tyrrell Hatton (T18 in 2021):  I am very much in on Hatton being one of the most underrated players in the world (as Homa pointed out to me earlier this year). But the reality is that, since the start of 2020, he has five missed cuts at majors and no top 10s. More suited for one of the Opens.

31. Adam Scott (Won in 2013):  I don't know what's crazier, that he's made 14 cuts in a row at Augusta or that only one of them since his win in 2013 has been a top 10. 

32. Corey Conners (T6 in 2022):  He's the superior version of Eric Cole (see below). He's probably not going to win, but nobody has more top 10s than him at the Masters since the start of 2020 (he's tied with Rahm, Smith and Reed at three top 10s).

33. Jason Day (T2 in 2011):  After he finished T2 and third in two of his first three Masters, he looked like the player who would become the first Australian to win the Masters (Adam Scott got him in that third-place finish by beating Angel Cabrera in a playoff at Augusta). After those two starts, though, it would have seemed wild to suggest that Day would never really contend for another one, but that's mostly how it has played out. He has two other top 10s (2016 and 2019) but in neither was he really a contender to win.

34. Harris English (T21 in 2021):  After struggling through a few years because of injury, English is playing solid golf again. If you want him for a major, though, it's probably going to be the U.S. Open where he has three top-eight finishes in his last four appearances.

35. Min Woo Lee (T14 in 2022):  Boy, don't let Min Woo get hot. His big problem is that he's a bad iron player and especially so from 150-200 yards, which is a tough distance from which to be a bad iron player at Augusta National. 

36. Keegan Bradley (T22 in 2015):  Bradley has been decent at Augusta National but probably not as good as you might expect. He does not have a top 20, which is odd for somebody who is such a great-ball striker, and particularly such a good iron player. In fact, he only has one top 10 at  any  major in the last nine years. 

37. Sungjae Im (T2 in 2020):  This is certainly Im's best major. He has six top 25s in 17 starts in all four majors, and half of those are at Augusta National, including two top 10s (one of which was a T2 to Dustin Johnson in 2020). 

38. Phil Mickelson (Won in 2004, 2006, 2010): Mickelson's results last year make zero sense. He did nothing before the Masters and nothing after the Masters. And in the middle of all of that, he shot 65 on Sunday at Augusta National to finish tied for second at the Masters.

All of that happened as he was attempting to buoy the LIV Golf league he helped start amid a maelstrom of conflicting thoughts and ideas about how pro golf should operate. The conclusion? The marriage of Phil and Augusta National is magic. It's not crazy to think he can contend there again this year given his history. Likely? Not really, but he certainly has more win equity than almost everyone in the field outside of, say, the top 15 or 20 guys.

39. Nick Taylor (T29 in 2020):  He  probably  won't get into contention, but if he manages to somehow, he  definitely  won't shy away from the lead. 

40. Adam Hadwin (T24 in 2018):  Here's a weird one: Over the last 10 years, Adam Hadwin has a better strokes gained average at Augusta than Adam Scott. He's only played 10 rounds compared to Scott's 40, but I would not have expected that.

41. Sergio Garcia (Won in 2017):  Garcia's last 10 years at Augusta National make almost no sense.

• Missed cuts: 5
• Strokes gained: 0.66 per round

42. Akshay Bhatia (n/a):  Bhatia is an awesome story -- skipped college to turn pro and has made his way on the Tour -- and he fits the mold for Augusta National in that he's a lefty who hits the ball quite well. However, expecting him to win in his debut a week after his first full field PGA Tour victory (one in which he got injured) is probably a bit much.

43. Nicolai Hojgaard (n/a):  The Dane should punish Augusta National off the tee. There are only a handful of golfers in the world (McIlroy, Young among them) who rank ahead of Hojgaard in driving distance relative to field since the start of 2023.

44. Justin Rose (2nd in 2017):  It's been feast or famine for Rose recently at ANGC. Starting at the 2015 Masters, he has five top 12s but also two missed cuts at an event where it's actually somewhat difficult to miss the cut. He has only finished between T26 and T50 once (T36 in 2008).

45. Rickie Fowler (2nd in 2018):  This is, surprisingly, Fowler's first April Masters since before the COVID-19 pandemic started. He has been awesome at this golf course with one of the best scoring averages in the history of the tournament, but his play has dropped off a bit since winning the Rocket Mortgage Classic last summer. Still, the only players better than him in the last 10 years at Augusta are all familiar: Zalatoris, Rahm, Spieth, Scheffler, McIlroy, Rose and Johnson. 

46. Patrick Reed (Won in 2018):  Reed has been low-key excellent at Augusta National. Obviously his 2018 victory gets all the run, but since then he has a T10 in 2020, a T8 in 2021 and a T4 in 2023. I don't know that he'll have another victory here, but he should be an absolute force when it comes to fantasy teams.

47. Tom Kim (T16 in 2023):  I was pleasantly surprised by what Kim did at the majors last year. Between his T16, T8 at the U.S. Open and T2 at the Open Championship, it's not what I expected. He doesn't have the modern skillset you think of when you think of major winners, but he does have an impressive amalgamation of magnetic presence, grit and sense of the moment that is difficult to quantify. I'm more convinced than I was this time last year that Kim will be a major champion.

48. Ben An (T33 in 2017):  The late addition to the event with the best chance of winning. An is a ball-striker savant who is having an amazing year with five top 21s so far in 2024. 

49. Tiger Woods (Won in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2019):  Woods has accomplished some extraordinary feats in his career, but beating Scehffler, Rahm, Thomas, McIlroy, Spieth, Morikawa, Schauffele and a host of other players -- after having finished one major since the start of 2021 -- would be the most extraordinary thing of all. Still, if there's anyone who can do it …

50. Denny McCarthy (n/a):  McCarthy has played in nine majors (including four PGA Championships) but never a Masters.

51. J.T. Poston (T34 in 2023):  Poston is playing the best golf of his career and has been at a top 25-like level leading into this Masters. He finished T5 at Kapalua, which has some Augusta attributes. He reminds me a bit of Russell Henley in that he is playing like somebody who  could  win but you're a bit dubious that he actually will. A good top 20 bet.

52. Sepp Straka (T30 in 2022):  Players who finished in the top 10 in multiple majors in 2023.

• Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler (3)
• Brooks Koepka, Cameron Smith, Cameron Young, Sepp Straka , Tom Kim, Tommy Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland, Xander Schauffele (2)

53. Gary Woodland (T14 in 2023):  With just two top 25s and five missed cuts, Woodland has had a surprisingly average history at Augusta National. He's a proven major champion, though, and would be one of the easier stories in the field -- bouncing back from brain surgery last fall -- if he gets into the mix. 

54. Emiliano Grillo (T17 in 2016):  Grillo is coming in off his first top 10 in a major. Of course, that will have been nine months ago when he tees it up at Augusta National.

55. Eric Cole (n/a):  Cole is one of those guys who is perfect to bet as a top-25 finisher because he has no name recognition and is thus probably a bit underrated but not the guy you want to bet at even 100-1 odds (appropriately and humorously, at the time of this writing, he's not even listed at most major books taking bets on the Masters).

56. Cameron Davis (46th in 2022):  I'm a bit confused about what Davis is supposed to be. His skillset suggests that he should be excellent at major championships. Perhaps he develops into that player; he did finish T4 at last year's PGA Championship at Oak Hill. But he has not quite reached the level where I feel comfortable about him being a contender at this major (or any other). 

57. Chris Kirk (T20 in 2014):  Kirk is playing for just the second time since 2016, but he brings perhaps the best version of his game to Augusta National. Will he win? I'm dubious about that, but I do believe he's a good fourth or fifth guy on your fantasy team this week.

58. Lucas Glover (T20 in 2007):  It's a bid odd to me that Glover has not been better here. He flushes everything he sees, and though the putting hasn't been great, one would think it would be good enough to get at least a top 15 or top 10 in one of his previous starts. Glover has two top 10s in any major, and one of them was, of course, a victory.

59. Bubba Watson (Won in 2012, 2014):  The win equity remains higher than most with him because he's done it before (twice), but it's pretty difficult to envision him winning a Masters at age 45, mostly because his one elite skill (driving distance) has taken a huge hit since 2012 and 2014 when he was truly generationally long off the tee, which helped him win two green jackets. The blue line below represents the top five in distance. Watson lived above it for so long, and now he's dropped all the way to basically being barely a top 100 guy.    

60. Matthieu Pavon (n/a):  Is Pavon the best player in the world? He sure looked like it for a bit earlier this year when he won Torrey Pines and was in position to win Pebble Beach before the final round was canceled due to weather. Still, it would be a shock if that carried all the way through to Augusta in April. He's never finished better than T25 at a major.

61. Stephan Jager (n/a):  Having (by far) the best year of his career, and a lot of it is based on how well he's striking the ball. He won't win, but he could absolutely make the cut and make a little noise.

62. Erik van Rooyen (MC in 2022):  Three South Africans have won the Masters, and incredibly none of them are Louis Oosthuizen or Ernie Els. Gary Player, Trevor Immelman and Charl Schwartzel. Van Rooyen would make it four.

63. Jake Knapp (n/a):  The big-hitting Knapp will be playing his first Masters and just his second major after his win in Mexico. If he's in contention, you might want to make sure the sleeves are big enough for his pipes.

64. Nick Dunlap (n/a):  At this point, the only thing that could make his last year any more remarkable is to cap a U.S. Amateur-Walker Cup-PGA Tour victory (as an amateur) run with a green jacket.

65. Austin Eckroat (n/a):  "Who will be low Oklahoma State Cowboy at this Masters?" is a fun game. Eckroat is definitely the underdog here but a sneaky-interesting play nonetheless.

66. Peter Malnati (n/a):  I cannot imagine a more fun and compelling story than a 36-year-old who recently cried after just his second win playing in and winning his first Masters.

67. Ryan Fox (T26 in 2023):  I'm more intrigued by him as a potentially sneaky-low Australian, which he was last year (just edging out Smith), than I am intrigued by him to win the event.

68. Adrian Meronk (MC in 2023):  At 6-foot-6, he will be the toughest LIV Golf player to his peers to carry off the 18th green on their shoulders (if that is still a thing that is being done this year,  as Greg Norman suggested .

69. Taylor Moore (T39 in 2023):  The good news for Moore is that he beat Thomas, DeChambeau and D.J. at his first Masters last year. The bad news is that none of those guys finished in the top 40 on the leaderboard.

70. Luke List (T33 in 2005):  I don't believe there is any non-winner in the field whose best finish at the Masters happened longer ago than 2005.

71. Adam Schenk (n/a):  It would be incredible if a guy named "Schenk" won the most famous golf tournament in the world.

72. Kurt Kitayama (MC in 2023):  Kitayama has a strange major resume. He has just one top 50 in 12 major championship starts … but it was a T4 (!) at last year's PGA.

73. Thorbjorn Olesen (T6 in 2013) : After a nice start to the year, he's done nothing in the last month. It would be stunning if he contended to win this event.

74. Lee Hodges (n/a):  Since the start of 2023, Hodges has had two top 10s. One of them was a win to get into the Masters. 

75. Ryo Hisatsune (n/a):  He does not have a top 10 on the PGA Tour this year.

76. Camilo Villegas (T13 in 2009):  Villegas does not have a top 10 in any major since 2010, but his story would be the sports story of the year if he were even to get into contention here.

77. Charl Schwartzel (Won in 2011):  Schwartzel has had such an interesting (and at times, odd) pro career. He only has four PGA Tour and European Tour wins (that were not co-sanctioned by the Sunshine Tour), but one of them is the Masters. Then in 2017, he finished in third at Augusta, three shots out of a playoff. But he also doesn't have a top five at any other major. Name me a more bizarre run than that of Schwartzel.

78. Grayson Murray (n/a):  Murray's redemption story is really interesting (though I am still cautious about it), and I am intrigued to see how the broader sports world would receive it if he gets into contention at a big-time event like the Masters.    

79. Danny Willett (Won in 2016):  Willett is proof of what a life-changer the Masters can be. He's currently outside the top 300 in the Data Golf rankings and would be mostly irrelevant as a pro right now if Spieth hadn't hit two shots in the water on No. 12 back in 2016. Willett has only made two cuts at Augusta since that win (although one was a T12 in 2022).

80. Zach Johnson (Won in 2007):  Honestly, I think Z.J. might have a better chance of making the next Ryder Cup team than he does of winning this year's Masters.

81. Stewart Hagestad (T36 in 2017):  Hagestad, the 2023 Mid-Am winner, has played as many rounds at Augusta National as Young, Burns and Min Woo Lee.

82. Christo Lamprecht (n/a):  Data Golf ranks him as basically an average PGA Tour player so it makes sense that he would finish T74 at last year's Open. The question is how high the ceiling is for Lamprecht. The 6-foot-8 Georgia Tech star could supplant George Archer (6-foot-5) as the tallest Masters winner ever. 

83. Mike Weir (Won in 2003):  Weir does not have a top 25 at the Masters since 2008. Since 2021, he's only played the Masters, Canadian Open and Sony Open on the PGA Tour.

84. Fred Couples (Won in 1992):  Couples will try to break his own record for oldest player to make the cut at a Masters, which he set just a year ago when he made it to the last two rounds at age 63 and 187 days. "It's not like, 'Ha, ha, ha, I can screw around and play 36 holes for fun.' I'm going to try and compete," he said. "I can't compete with Viktor Hovland or Jon Rahm or anybody, but I can compete with myself, and that's really why I come. That's what I like to do, is make the cut here at an older age."

85. Neal Shipley (n/a):  The Ohio State graduate student became a legend last summer when he nearly holed out at Cherry Hills to win his semifinal and get into the Masters. Ranked outside the top 25 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, he was never really been a star until that week at Cherry Hills, but he's one of the easier guys in this field to cheer on.

THE SHOT! THE SPIN! THE SHIP! 🛳️ @OhioStateMGOLF 's Neal Shipley has punched his ticket to the #USAmateur championship match! pic.twitter.com/O9rX9VHn5X — USGA (@USGA) August 19, 2023

86. Jose Maria Olazabal (Won in 1994, 1999):  Olazabal has made just one cut in his last eight majors. It was a stunner, too, in 2021 when he beat D.J., McIlroy, Day, Garcia and Adam Scott at the age of 55.

87. Vijay Singh (Won in 2000):  The biggest mystery with Singh this week is whether he'll choose to set up shop and watch DeChambeau try to reach the media center with his driver from the practice area.

88. Santiago de la Fuente (n/a):  De la Fuente joined Alvaro Ortiz (2019) as Mexicans who have won the Latin America Amateur Championship to get a spot in the Masters. De la Fuente's story is wild. He started his career at Arkansas Tech (where the men's athletic teams are called the Wonder Boys!) before landing at Houston where he became an All-American. From Wonder Boys to Magnolia Lane. Golf rocks.

89. Jasper Stubbs (n/a):  Stubbs was an out-of-nowhere winner of the Asia-Pacific Amateur toward the end of 2023. He said he knows ANGC well from having played it on "Tiger Woods 2012" (kids!), but  I found this part  to be perhaps the most interesting. Ranked 476th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, Stubbs became the third highest ranked player in the history of the championship to wear the crown. Matsuyama was 544th when he won the first of his two titles in 2011, and China's Tianlang Guan was 490th when he won in 2012 as a 14-year-old.

tabù italiano

Dalla beffa dell'Inter al rimpianto della Roma: l'Europa League è la coppa che ci manca

La delusione dei giocatori della Roma dopo la finale persa con il Siviglia

Mai un’italiana ha alzato il secondo trofeo continentale. Prima delle finali 2020 e 2023, le delusioni per Juve e Napoli

Noi, antichi navigati nei mari Uefa, non riusciamo più a portare la barca in porto. È bastato cambiare il nome e dare un tocco di mascara al formato della seconda coppa del Continente per renderci irriconoscibili alla nobiltà europea. L’Europa League è ufficialmente nata nel 2009-10 e continua a essere un tabù: per anni le nostre squadre l’hanno guardata con sospetto, magari a volte snobbandola un po’ attratti dalla grandeur della Champions. Grave errore, non solo economico, poi nell’ultimo quinquennio si sono avvicinati finalmente alla vetta. L’hanno sfiorata sia l’Inter nell’anno dannato del covid, il 2020, sia la Roma nella scorsa stagione, ma le mani sul trofeo le hanno messe sempre gli altri. Per inciso, il Siviglia, accumulatrice seriale di Europa League. In questo scorcio gli andalusi ne hanno vinte 5 e ne sommano altre due con il vecchio nome tra 2005 e 2007: nell’ultimo ventennio l’inno della coppa è un giro di flamenco. Considerando il tris dell’Atletico e il guizzo del Villarreal un paio di stagioni fa, si capisce perché qualche cugino spagnolo la chiami “Europa Liga”.

Le italiane che avevano nella vecchia Uefa il proprio terreno di caccia stanno a guardare da anni. Il digiuno è antico, ancora prima dello spartiacque 2009-10: sono passati 25 interminabili anni da Parma di Malesani trionfante nel 1998-99. Altra epoca del nostro calcio, altra grandezza. Ma se si ripercorre la storia degli ultimi anni si scoprono cadute inattese, beffarde, anche contro rivali di basso lignaggio. Ad esempio, è capitato di perdere l’ultima italiana nel torneo addirittura ai sedicesimi di finale, come il Napoli 2010-11 contro il Villarreal. L’anno dopo è andata leggermente meglio, ma sempre ben sotto la sufficienza: l’Udinese ha resistito di più di tutti, ma già agli ottavi cadeva contro l’Az Alkmaar. Nel 2016 il tricolore lo ha ammainato la Lazio, fuori agli ottavi con lo Sparta Praga. E ancora nel 2017 Roma sconfitta dal Lione sempre agli ottavi, poi nel 2018 è stato il Salisburgo a rovinare il cammino della Lazio. Nel 2019 l’Inter è naufragata contro l’Eintracht Francoforte, altri ottavi maledetti. In quella stagione, però, è stato poi Maurizio Sarri a sbaciucchiare la coppa col Chelsea. Il tecnico toscano è stato l’unico nostro connazionale a cui l’Europa League abbia mai sorriso.

che rimpianti

Prima delle ultime due finali, c’è stato un trio di semifinali con una montagna di rimpianti. L’ultima Juve di Antonio Conte concentrò ogni energia sulla rincorsa del record di punti in Serie A e quando mancava l’ultimo passetto nell’Europa League 2014 scivolò sul più bello: soprattutto nel ritorno in casa in cui bisognava ribaltare il 2-1 del Benfica con freddezza, i nervi hanno ceduto di schianto. La finale i bianconeri l’avrebbero giocata nel proprio giardino, allo Juve Stadium, come se fosse tutto apparecchiato per la festa. Nel 2015 il Napoli di Benitez buttò alle ortiche un’altra semifinale contro il Dnipro, società tanto umile da essere oggi fallita: pareggio amaro al San Paolo con gol ucraino in posizione irregolare e nella partita persa al ritorno, giusto per non farsi mancare niente, Higuain si divorò un paio di occasioni. Nel 2021 è toccato alla Roma, ma con lo United assai meno pathos: il 3-2 orgoglioso all’Olimpico arrivò dopo il naufragio a Old Trafford, un 6-2 come una sentenza. Certo, per Paulo Fonseca, allenatore giallorosso, non sarà stato facile preparare la battaglia sapendo già che sulla sua sedia si sarebbe seduto un connazionale ingombrante come José Mourinho. Proprio il portoghese, l’anno scorso, si è avvicinato alla coppa come nessun altro collega su una panchina italiana. Giocarsela col Siviglia è diventata una sentenza ma, dall’autogol di Mancini nei tempi regolamentari agli errori dal dischetto dello stesso difensore e di Ibanez fino al penalty non fischiato dall’arbitro Taylor per fallo di mano di Fernando dopo cross di Matic, sono tante le spine sulla pelle dei giallorossi: chissà se verranno mai staccate. L’Antonio Conte interista che era arrivato in fondo due anni prima, in una edizione strana con gare secche e stadi senza pubblico, è stato invece tradito dal suo pupillo: Lukaku ha segnato, sì, il primo rigore, ma ha divorato una rete prima dell’autogol del definitivo 3-2. Una secchiata d’acqua gelata, ma qualche mese fa in finale a Istanbul Romelu ha fatto pure peggio, ma quella è Champions: un’altra storia, un’altra Europa.

Anitta anuncia 'Baile funk experience': un tour único de funk brasileño en recintos íntimos

Anitta anuncia hoy su esperada gira Baile Funk Experience Tour. Esta gira de más de 20 fechas, que comienza el 18 de mayo en Ciudad de México (México) y está producida por Live Nation, llegará a ciudades de todo el mundo, incluida la primera etapa norteamericana de Anitta, que la llevará a Los Ángeles, Nueva York, Miami, Chicago, Toronto y más ciudades. Después de la gira norteamericana, Anitta llevará el Funk Generation Tour a Sudamérica y luego a Europa , incluyendo Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Londres, París y más.

Aunque el Baile Funk Experience Tour marca la primera serie de fechas norteamericanas de Anitta, la estrella nominada al GRAMMY no es ajena a las actuaciones para sus fans norteamericanos y de todo el mundo. A finales de 2023, Anitta fue una de las cabezas de cartel en TikTok In The Mix, la primera experiencia global en directo de su clase en TikTok, donde actuó ante una multitud de 17.000 fans que agotaron las entradas en el Sloan Park de Mesa, AZ, y batió récords de audiencia con más de 33,5 millones de espectadores en total viendo la emisión. En 2022, Anitta volvió a ser noticia y batió récords al convertirse en la primera solista brasileña en actuar en Coachella. Tras su actuación, Variety proclamó que "asombró" al público con un set que presentaba una "alucinante mezcla de géneros, haciendo hincapié en la música brasileña y latina que la lanzó al estrellato."

La gira seguirá al lanzamiento del nuevo álbum de Anitta, Funk Generation , que saldrá a la venta el 26 de abril a través de Republic Records/Universal Music Latin Entertainment. Recientemente, Anitta dio a sus fans un adelanto de lo que pueden esperar del próximo álbum, con el ardiente sencillo "Double Team" (ft. Brray & Bad Gyal). El single ha sido producido por Botlok y el vídeo musical ha sido dirigido por Sam Hayes.

Funk Generation sigue al bundle de tres temas de Anitta , Funk Generation: A Favela Love Story, que se publicó en 2023 como precursor del nuevo álbum. Los tres temas eran "Funk Rave", "Used To be" y "Casi Casi", que se convirtieron en los favoritos de los fans. Tras el exitoso lanzamiento, Anitta empezó a cerrar el año con BELLAKEO, un tema conjunto con Peso Pluma que se convirtió en la canción de Anitta que más alto ha llegado en la lista Billboard Hot 100 hasta la fecha.

Anitta anuncia las fechas de su gira Baile Funk Experience 2024

La gira de 20 fechas incluye el primer recorrido de Anitta por Estados Unidos, así como paradas en América Latina y Europa.

La táctica de Ancelotti que "sorprendió" a Guardiola y el excesivo descanso del Madrid: "Nos gusta más jugar cada 3 días"

El italiano cambió de posiciones a Rodrygo y Vinicius y presionó hombre a hombre a su rival. "No lo habíamos hecho hasta ahora", admitió. Valverde reconoció que "cuando paras una semana es peor".

• Crónica Real Madrid y City empatan en un trepidante 'thriller' de caos y cañonazos
• Protagonista El "clásico" de Guardiola: "Es el Bernabéu, 'my friend'. No lo conoces como yo"

Sensaciones extrañas en la zona mixta del Santiago Bernabéu . Real Madrid y Manchester City volvieron a empatar camino de la vuelta en el Etihad Stadium y por los pasillos del estadio nadie parecía del todo contento. b, con la cabeza agachada y el rostro serio, pasó por delante de los periodistas sin mover la vista ni un centímetro del horizonte, lejos de las sonrisas que había dejado el año pasado. El noruego apenas tocó balón, fruto de una presión agobiante de Rüdiger sobre él y del resto de los jugadores del Madrid sobre sus compañeros. Hombre a hombre . " Muy raramente lo habíamos hecho y salió bien. Hemos recuperado muchos balones", admitió Ancelotti sobre una de las claves del 3-3.

El técnico italiano decidió cambiar algunas cosas de su once ideal ante la visita de Guardiola . Intercambió las posiciones de Rodrygo y Vinicius , escoró al '11' a la izquierda y centró al '7', defendió en un 4-2-3-1 y eligió a Tchouaméni para acompañar a Rüdiger en el centro de la zaga. Si analizamos sólo el primer minuto, le salió horrible.

Tchouaméni tardó 40 segundos en ver la amarilla que le deja fuera del partido de vuelta y Bernardo Silva tardó apenas 60 segundos en batir a Lunin para el 0-1. Las caras en el banquillo madridista eran un poema, pero no cambiaron el plan de partido. La idea era clara y funcionó: "Hemos empezado mal, con un gol en contra, pero el equipo lo ha manejado bien, robando y buscando transiciones. Con el cambio de posición entre Rodrygo y Vinicius buscaba mantener la buena racha de Rodrygo, que jugó muy bien contra el Athletic, a Vini realmente no le cambiaba casi nada lo que tenía que hacer", explicó Ancelotti.

Su decisión sorprendió a Guardiola : "Me ha sorprendido ver a Vinicius centrado , sí. Había escuchado a Ancelotti decir que no le había gustado el 4-3-3 contra el Leipzig, y pensé que si lo decía no lo iba a hacer contra nosotros. Han tenido sus momentos. El tema es que no puedes parar siempre sus transiciones, es imposible pensar que el Madrid no te va a correr. La cosa es que te lo haga lo menos posible, hoy nos lo han hecho mucho", admitió el de Santpedor.

Vinicius, Rodrygo y Valverde dispararon tres veces a puerta cada uno y aprovecharon los errores del City en salida de balón, fruto de la presión madridista, hasta que el pulmón del conjunto blanco comenzó a sufrir. "Ellos no se esperaban verme por la izquierda, porque siempre está Vini y hoy lo hicimos diferente, una táctica nueva . Salió bien, pese a que el resultado no fuese el que queríamos", declaró Rodrygo.

"Mientras tuvimos piernas..."

La presión hombre a hombre del Madrid impulsó al equipo pero también le hundió cuando los jugadores empezaron a estar más fatigados. "El partido ha sido bueno hasta que hemos perdido energía. Ahí ya hemos tenido que poner bloque bajo y buscar más las transiciones", explicó Ancelotti. En zona mixta, Fede Valverde se reconocía " muy cansado ". "Mucho desgaste después de estar corriendo tantos minutos detrás de la pelota, ya nos costaba salir a la contra. Intentamos robar más arriba, presionarles más porque sabíamos que con nuestra velocidad les podíamos hacer daño. Y mientras tuvimos piernas y oxígeno nos dio para marcar goles ", reflexionó.

El uruguayo también se refirió al calendario , que les dio una cierta ventaja a la hora de tener más descanso que el City para el partido, pero según Valverde es un arma de doble filo. " Yo, y hablo por mí, estoy acostumbrado a jugar cada tres días , nos gusta más y nuestro cuerpo se acostumbra a eso. Cuando paras una semana y dices 'voy a descansar' es peor. Parece que te cuesta el doble, te cansas más, te contracturas más durante el partido... Pero es parte de quien hizo el calendario".
