Europa League: Cyprus leaders Apoel Nicosia can help remove trophy from Spain’s clutches
Apoel Nicosia's manager Thomas Christiansen gestures
Rome - ArabToday
So used is the Europa League to residing on Spanish soil that the trophy itself may start worrying about homesickness as it scrutinises the situation ahead of the last-16 stage.
Only once in the last five years – twice in the last seven – has it not been carried home in May by a Primera Liga club. But there is work to be done if that pattern is to be maintained.
Sevilla, holders the past three years, are otherwise engaged in the Uefa Champions League.
Celta Vigo go to Ukraine tonight a goal down to Shakhtar Donetsk after the first leg of their last-32 tie while Villarreal’s condition is grave, taking a 4-0 deficit to Roma.
Hope seems to reside with Athletic Bilbao, silver medallists of the 2012 Europa League, if they can only deal with an expatriate Spanish armada in Cyprus tonight.
Athletic take a narrow lead, 3-2, to the island leg of their collision with Apoel Nicosia, and do so nervously.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
