Titled Tadpole for you, tadpole for me, the song follows a familiar Baldur’s Gate 3 cinematic of a man being transformed into a Mind Flayer after being infected by one of the titular tadpoles, but with a few festive features added to the video. Additionally, the performers also appear throughout the scene, with implications that some of them are also succumbing to the Mind Flayer transformation.

The 29-year-old continues to generate exit talk in Spain and has seen moves to the likes of Manchester United and Bayern Munich mooted in recent windows. He is, however, doing his best to aid La Liga and Champions League causes with Madrid for now, with inspiration required at the Santiago Bernabeu following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. Bale is trying to fill that void, but could make a move of his own at some stage and may end up joining an illustrious former team-mate in Italy....

The striker, who was overlooked for the most recent Italy squad, has been in excellent form for Nice this season and will face off against PSG on Sunday. It is a match that Balotelli does not seem to be attributing any particular importance to, suggesting that the capital side, who are 14 points clear of Monaco at the top of the standings, see themselves apart from their domestic rivals....

Ebukam got to Stafford relatively unchallenged before knocking the bal out of his grasp with a ferocious swipe. The ball made its way toward the first down marker before eventually being scooped up by a pair of cherry-stained gloves. It was an apt way to finish proceedings, all things considered. Ebukam’s strip sack was one of seven times Stafford was brought to the canvas behind the line of scrimmage, an eye-watering total....

Sylhet have been brilliant in their last two matches against Khulna and Rajshahi itself and have found form towards the end of the tournament with the team playing fearless cricket. Rajshahi should be wary of them on a flat pitch that could go either way on Wednesday. Sylhet Sixers Nasir Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Liton Das, Sohail Tanvir (c), Jason Roy, Sandeep Lamichhane, Afif Hossain, Al-Amin Hossain, Andre Fletcher, Towhid Hridoy, Fabian Allen, Mohammad Irfan, Nabil Samad, Ebadat Hossain, Alok Kapali, Jaker Ali, Gulbadin Naib, Mehedi Hasan Rana, Patrick Brown and Nicholas Pooran...

The U.S. economy has taken its biggest downturn in decades, as the pandemic has led state leaders across the country to order all but essential businesses to shut down in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Already, some 26.4 million workers have filed for unemployment in less than two months, a higher number than all the jobs created since the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009....

“I feel good,” Butt said as he arrived at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, shortly after 9:00 am (0800 GMT). His appearance comes a day after Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif appeared before the court, in what he described to AFP as a “quite busy” day of hearings about the infamous Lord’s Test against England in 2010. Butt, Asif and fellow paceman Mohammad Aamer were banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2011 after being found guilty of deliberately contriving no balls to order in that match....

The story so far finds the plaintiff banned from using PSN for blatant disregard of user agreement policies and multiple offenses while playing online. No word on exactly what those offenses were, but I’m sure we all have a few ideas, since most gamers know the dos and don’ts of online play. As a result of his banishment, the gamer sued PSN for $55,000 and all of the virtual-points he had purchased on his account....

The study, led by Louis Klarevas, research professor at Teachers College, Columbia University, is one of the only comprehensive assessments of large-capacity magazine bans in the United States. Klarevas’s study, selected for publication in the American Journal of Public Health, looked specifically at high-fatality mass shootings, defined as incidents in which six or more victims died. His research found that death tolls were 62 percent higher on average when large-capacity magazines was used....

19-year-old Linda, who has represented South Africa at U-17, U-20 and now senior level, featured on the free-role just behind the striker in Vera Pauw’s 4-2-3-1 formation as the championship hopefuls got their season off to a moderate start. Motlhalo, who signed from South African Sasol Women League side JVW Football Club, lasted 77 minutes before she was replaced by Claire Falknor. Fellow South African Janine Van Wyk also featured for the BBVA Compass Stadium side and lasted the entire duration of the match....

Messi, who scored a sublime goal in Sunday’s thrilling 2-2 draw with Real Madrid, has been with the Blaugrana since arriving from his native Argentina as a 13-year-old. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has reportedly been the subject of regular interest from Manchester City, who have been steered to the Premier League title this season by former Barca boss Pep Guardiola. But Barca president Bartomeu claims he has never fielded an enquiry for the 30-year-old....

The champions were without injured talisman Lionel Messi and Luis Enrique left captain Andres Iniesta and experienced centre back Javier Mascherano out of his starting lineup. His decisions soon backfired as Barca were blitzed by an intense Celta side, who raced into a 3-0 halftime lead. “I cannot be satisfied, we’ve wasted the chance to go top before the international break,” Luis Enrique said with his stuttering side two points off the pace in fourth behind leaders Atletico and Real Madrid and a point behind Sevilla....

The Primera Division’s most talented players enter the spotlight as sides from the likes of La Liga and the Premier League look to find the next Lionel Messi or Sergio Aguero, and many end up moving while still in their teens. Argentina 9/1 to win World Cup 2018 Racing Club’s whizzkid Lautaro Martinez is one such example: having attracted attention from the likes of Arsenal and Valencia earlier this season, the 19-year-old forward is now being closely watched by Barcelona and Atletico Madrid....

The La Liga champions got into their passing rhythm early and dominated the early exchanges. However, their opener arrived via an unlikely avenue when Antoine Griezmann flicked a Lionel Messi corner past Sergio Asenjo. Nine minutes later, Arthur Melo stamped his mark on the game with a sumptuous strike from 25 yards. Villarreal though, halved the deficit before the break when Santi Cazorla blazed the ball past Marc-Andre ter Stegen from distance....

With Javier Mascherano and Dani Alves set to depart the club this summer, the Catalan club are expected to sigh multiple defensive players to make up the numbers and players with enough quality to challenge on all fronts. Umtiti had another excellent season in the Ligue 1 this time around partaking in 38 matches across all competitions. Even though Paris Saint-Germain won the title by a massive margin, Lyon had a good season finishing the season in second and qualifying directly for next season’s UEFA Champions League owing Samuel Umtiti a lot....

Arda underwent tests at Barca’s training ground on Wednesday after suffering the problem while with Turkey during the international break. Having played in the World Cup qualifying win over Finland, he missed the friendly against Moldova and it was hoped the injury would not be serious. But he could now miss up to six Barca games at a busy period of the season. “Medical tests conducted this Wednesday morning have confirmed that first-team player Arda Turan has an injury to the adductor muscle in his right groin,” read Barca’s statement....

If reports are to be believed, Barcelona are now closing in on finding an agreement with Sevilla for the deal to go through before the transfer window slams shut tonight. Earlier, Barcelona parted ways with as many as three players on deadline day. Striker Rey Manaj joined Spezia in Italy on loan with an option to make it permanent. Both Emerson Royal and Ilaix Moriba also left Camp Nou by joining Tottenham Hotspur and RB Leipzig respectively....

The Catalan giants were among the clubs interested in signing the Dutchman in 2019 before he made a move from Ajax to Juventus.

Lionel Messi was the star of the show on that occasion, scoring twice - one a spectacular free kick - to add to Luis Suarez’s opener against his former side.
