With Arsenal and Chelsea setting up an all-English Europa League final, Premier League teams are establishing themselves among Europe’s elites once again. While both of Europe’s premier club competitions are assured of having English winners, it has been a while since an Premier League player won the Ballon d’Or. The last time a player from the league won was in 2008, when Cristiano Ronaldo bagged his first. The decline in English football and the Messi-Ronaldo domination means no Premier league player has won the award since....
The Liverpool forward played an influential role as the Italians reached the final of Euro 2012 and he hopes that Stephan El Shaarawy can make a similar impact in France.

Balotelli mocked PSG for their elimination by Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League. “It’s always shameful to see a big team like PSG go out of the Champions League, but Real were better,” the Italian striker said. “Money doesn’t make a team,” he added. Asked what he expected on Sunday, Balotelli said: “To be honest I haven’t watched PSG this season, apart from their last match against Real Madrid....
The Asian Cup qualifier between Malaysia and North Korea will finally be played, not in either countries but in Bangkok, Thailand. Asian Football Confederation (AFC) made the announcement today that both fixtures of the North Korea v Malaysia and Malaysia v North Korea will be played on neutral ground. The former fixture had been previously postponed several times due to various reasons. “We are extremely grateful for the continued support by the Football Association of Thailand in agreeing to play host for these two matches....

Banjo Kazooie’s history is a complicated story, and one that many would consider being pretty sad. After creating the legendary Donkey Kong Country series on the SNES, and many games for the Nintendo 64, including Banjo Kazooie, Rare was acquired by Microsoft to become one of its first-party studios. Unfortunately, due to the changing times and player interests, Banjo Kazooie was left by the wayside, aside from the strange platformer, kart-racer hybrid, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts....
The program—the Community Affordable Loan Solution—promises to be a zero down payment, zero closing cost mortgage solution for first-time homebuyers squeezed out of the market by skyrocketing home prices, bidding wars and rising mortgage rates in “designated markets” in Charlotte, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles and Miami. The bank has not yet disclosed which areas of these cities the program will cover, but has said that these include Black/African American and Hispanic-Latino neighborhoods....
The brides and grooms have been left in the lurch after South West Photo and Film announced it had declared bankruptcy. The business, previously known as Lee Brewer Photography, said the financial implications of COVID-19 have “proven too much.” It has resulted in many couples - reports state as many as 800 - across the United Kingdom desperately searching for a new photographer. They are also having to find additional money after having paid the Torquay in U....
Italy international Verratti has been linked with Barcelona on and off for several years, having established himself as one of Europe’s most talented central midfielders. Following PSG’s Champions League elimination, reports in France claimed Verratti had instructed Raiola to secure him a move, with Barca said to be their preferred destination. But the 25-year-old has ended such rumours, adamant he will not be seeking a move away from Parc des Princes....
The visitors are in real danger of relegation, but had a surprise 2-1 win over Sevilla last time out in the league – meaning Luis Enrique’s men had to keep their guard up. However, a sensational Lionel Messi hat-trick and a late Neymar goal sealed all the points for Barcelona, but Granada did put up a fight. At the end of the day, it was men against boys as Granada could simply not cause serious problems for Luis Enrique’s men – and were lucky to have all 11 men on the pitch as they picked up four yellow cards....
Real Madrid are clearly a lesser team than former seasons. They have suffered in La Liga and were knocked out by Barca in the Copa del Rey. Before the match against Ajax, they had played their eternal rivals twice at home, and lost both. So heading into this match, many would have thought that the Blancos would want to bounce back in style and seal their place in the quarterfinals....
Suarez, 32, was said to have been carrying a knee injury for a while before Barca revealed he was set for surgery on January 11. Reports suggested that Barca only expected him to be missing for a few weeks, but a club statement the following day confirmed their worst fears, with Suarez likely to miss most of the season. Unsurprisingly Barca have been strongly linked with several strikers since, with Osasuna’s Chimy Avila, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of Arsenal and RB Leipzig star Timo Werner all mentioned as potential targets....
In the women’s singles, PV Sindhu lost to Cai Yanyan of China in straight games. It was a disappointing performance by the two-time World Championships silver medalist who looked out of sorts. The Indian lost the match 19-21, 9-21 to be knocked out in the quarter-finals. Cai began with a great start, taking an early lead and put pressure on the Indian. Despite PV Sindhu fighting well in the latter half of the first game, Cai won the first game 21-19....
The 4-minute, 40-second video posted on Facebook by Bakhmut Mayor Oleksiy Reva shows a time lapse of what the city looked like prior to the Russian invasion, and the damage incurred throughout the past six months. The city in the Donetsk region formerly had a population of 70,000 and was known for its salt mine and as a transportation hub. Images of the mostly vacant town show dilapidated buildings, bombed-out houses, structures ablaze, downed power lines, deserted gas stations with covered pumps, craters with used missiles inside them, broken windows, and even a Ferris wheel in a field....
The Dungeons & Dragons-based game isn’t complete. Only about the first 20 hours of Baldur’s Gate 3 are available to play, leaving a good chunk of it a mystery still, and those 20 hours are riddled with bugs and other issues. However, those 20 hours will also leave players wanting more, packed with fun, intriguing, and promising content that stands to blow away both new fans and old when complete....
Real Madrid favourites to retain La Liga Bale was seen departing Madrid’s session at Soldier Field on Tuesday with obvious discomfort in his right ankle. The 28-year-old missed long spells of last season with calf and ankle problems and the latest worry prompted concern among supporters on social media, with the UEFA Super Cup clash with Manchester United just a week away. However, Zidane is confident that Bale has been showing encouraging signs both in terms of fitness and form during pre-season....
That 3-1 win brought an incredible era to an end at Los Blancos, as Zinedine Zidane stepped down as coach less than a week after guiding the club to a third successive Champions League title. It proved to be Ronaldo’s final match in a Madrid shirt as well, with the Ballon d’Or holder securing a shock €112million move to Juventus last month, bringing a nine-year association with the club to an end....
Football seems a simple game at times. It would be doing a disservice to Bale to dismiss his role in this goal as entirely straightforward. The pace he used to reach Marcelo’s throughball, the speed of close control that left David Costas spinning on the spot, the weight of cross to give Benzema an easy finish – it was all of the highest quality. It also showed why Zinedine Zidane was correct to put faith in Bale to deliver in this LaLiga opener at Celta Vigo, despite the prolonged, exasperating uncertainty over his future....
