Willy Caballero: Man City keeper 'deserved' League Cup final

Manchester City goalkeeper Willy Caballero says he has repaid manager Manuel Pellegrini's trust in him with his Capital One Cup heroics at Wembley.

The Argentine saved three Liverpool spot-kicks as City won the final 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
Caballero, 34, was criticised after a 5-1 FA Cup fifth-round loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge a week earlier.
"It is well deserved for me to play this final," Caballero, picked ahead of first-choice Joe Hart, told BBC Sport.
Caballero has started just four Premier League games since moving to the Etihad from Malaga in July 2014.
He had started every round of the League Cup this season and boss Pellegrini said he would rather have lost the final than drop Caballero.
The former Boca Juniors keeper kept out penalties by Lucas, Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana after the game had ended all square after 120 minutes.
"It was incredible. To save three penalties and win a trophy is amazing," added Caballero. "I enjoyed this a lot because it was hard work for me.
"It was the decision of the manager to put me in the starting line-up and now I can return his confidence in me."

"My word is more important than football."We deserved to win the game before penalties, but I'm happy to win it that way with Willy as a great hero."Maybe most of the media were waiting for him to make a mistake and criticise my decision but I promised he would play both cups."He had to play against Chelsea with a young team so he conceded five goals. But I never lost trust in him because I know how good a player he is."

See the Korean Statue of Jesus Christ That Everyone Is Talking About (Photo)

Image
A statue of Jesus in Korea is causing a lot of reaction on social media because of its unusual depiction of the Christ.     This photo above has caused ripples online after it emerged recently.   The cause of reaction is the unsually muscular depiction of Jesus. Many internet users have argued that if Jesus Christ was that huge, he would probably not have been crucified at all. In fact, many opined that the opposite would have been the case as Jesus would have been the one crushing the people with his strength.   The photo was shared by an IMGUR user by the username, Geekologie.   He said:  "This is a Korean crucifix featuring a very muscular Jesus. I'm not entirely sure where it's located, but presumably outside the Church of Gains. Honestly, if Jesus really did look like that there probably never would have been a crucifixion, just 'the day Jesus killed all the Romans swinging a cross.'"
