Having starred for Madrid throughout the competition, this year’s top scorer drew a blank against Liverpool in Kiev. Substitute Gareth Bale stepped up to seal a third straight title as the Blancos prevailed 3-1, with Karim Benzema also getting his name on the scoresheet. Ronaldo, however, stole the headlines when he referred to his sparkling Madrid career in the past tense to reporters. That statement caused an instant reaction, with both Madrid president Florentino Perez and coach Zinedine Zidane speaking out to deny his exit....

For such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually met her feel that they, too, lost someone close to them in the early hours of Sunday morning. It is a more remarkable tribute to Diana than I can ever hope to offer here today. Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty....

As an adult, I started as a lawyer but ended up working in management development for a major international bank. My work involved travelling the world and I had young kids, so I was always buying gifts to bring home. Whilst in a department store in Kuala Lumpur, I bought my son, who was 2 years old at the time, a funny looking soft toy. I thought it was cute, but he hated it....

I like punk rock. I like girls with weird eyes. I like drugs. (But my Body And mind won’t allow me to take them). I like passion. I like playing my cards wrong. I like vinyl. I like to feel guilty for being a white, American male. I love to sleep. I like to taunt small, barking dogs in parked cars. I like to make people feel happy and superior in their reaction towards my appearance....

Trump’s remarks caused some consternation among social media users who believed Trump may have been discussing a real-life situation in which Trump actually had been in contact with the energy company to help fund his campaign. In a Monday tweet, ExxonMobil said the call never took place. “We are aware of the President’s statement regarding a hypothetical call with our CEO… and just so we’re all clear, it never happened,” ExxonMobil said in a tweet....

The Brazil forward was sent off in the 87th minute of Sunday’s 2-2 draw after clashing with Lucas Ocampos and picking up a second yellow card. PSG 17/4 favs to win CL with dabblebet Neymar was fouled five times – the most of any player – during the encounter, which PSG took a point from thanks to Edinson Cavani’s free-kick.

The talented playmaker burst onto the global scene at the 2014 World Cup, with Real Madrid moving to snap him up on the back of that tournament for £63 million. He had already represented Porto and Monaco by that point, but was recognised as one of the best creative influences in the business on the back of an impressive showing in Brazil. James’ spell in Madrid did not go entirely to plan, leading to him joining Bayern on a two-year loan in 2017, but Higuita feels he remains one of the finest players on the planet....

Against Franklin, Whyte made his return to the ring following his demoralising loss to Tyson Fury back in April, which saw his incredibly long journey to a world title shot end with a whimper, as the reigning WBC champion cruised to victory with a round-six knockout. The then-unbeaten American was widely seen as the perfect way to regain some confidence — a relatively straightforward night’s work for a boxer of Whyte’s calibre and a tune-up for a mega-money showdown with old foe Joshua in 2023....

According to the 50-year-old, the grass wasn’t well maintained and therefore denied the fans good football as Chiefs couldn’t play their usual passing game. Amakhosi took the lead through Eric Mathoho’s powerful header in the first half, but Atusaye Nyondo’s penalty 15 minutes from time earned the home side a crucial point. “We couldn’t play here. I’ve heard many coaches complain about the surface, it’s a pity that we denied people good football,” Komphela said after the game....
