The Rossoneri are on a 13-game unbeaten run in all competitions but still go into the pivotal showdown seven points behind their city rivals, who sit fourth in the table. Having triumphed 2-0 away at Roma last weekend, Milan reached the Coppa Italia final in midweek after overcoming Lazio in a dramatic penalty shoot-out. While Inter have struggled of late - winning just twice in their last 11 Serie A outings to dramatically fall out of the title race - Gattuso has warned his players not to get too complacent....

Who could say it better? With a grace and gallantry that recalled his quips after he was shot by John Hinckley in 1981, Reagan announced his illness to a public that, whatever it now thinks about his presidency, still admires his easygoing charm. But there was no hint of his self-deprecating humor – and no mistaking the valedictory tone of his communique. Reagan seemed to be saying farewell: Alzheimer’s is progressive, irreversible and largely resistant to current therapies....

Barca captain Iniesta took his combined career tally of major honours for the Catalan giants and Spain to 35 as Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick in a thrilling 4-2 win at Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday to ensure they cannot be caught in the top flight. It capped an emotional nine days for Iniesta, who scored in the 5-0 Copa del Rey final demolition of Sevilla last weekend before announcing on Friday that this season would be his last with Barca, ending a 22-year association....

Carrick deserves a new deal - Scholes The striker scored twice when the Old Trafford side defeated Sainte 3-0 in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 encounter, and has scored 17 times against Les Verts – his favourite opponents. Winger Hamouma was clearly hopeful that Ibrahimovic would not travel for the return leg on Wednesday, and made little secret of his disappointment when he was told the Swede will indeed be present....

By the next night, Cowell has gotten his way. America has voted–or at least 19 million “Idol” worshipers have–and it gives Locke the boot. Minutes after the show, Aiken is in the famous “Red Room,” crying. He can barely speak to a reporter. “Um, let’s wait just a minute,” he says, ultimately taking a half hour to steady himself. Studdard is as close to becoming 350 pounds of emotional Jell-O as you’ll ever want to see....

Heavyweight outfits from England and Germany have crossed paths on a regular basis in recent years. European draws seem incapable of keeping the duo apart, with group stage fixtures and knockout contests pitching them into direct competition. Ribery & Boateng out of Arsenal match Bayern have enjoyed a greater level of success, prevailing 5-1 in the last meeting between the two clubs in November 2015. They have also sent Arsenal packing at the last 16 stage of Europe’s premier club competition on three previous occasions and will be looking to add a fourth success to that list this time around....

In a post on Reddit’s popular r/AmITheA****** forum, her husband, under the username u/wold-into, shared how his wife became upset with him when he suggested she should leave their friend’s baby shower. The 28-year-old said his 26-year-old wife has been trying to conceive since September, but so far she has not become pregnant. “The doctor did say at our first appointment that it typically takes close to a year for most couples to conceive,” he wrote....

Antonio Conte’s men have struggled at the back with Davide Zappacosta and Cesar Azpilicueta being drafted to right wing-back role as replacement for Moses who has been out of action since October 14. And Lampard admitted that the absence of the Super Eagles’ player has left a vacuum in the Stamford Bridge outfit’s defence. “Moses is a miss,” Lampard told BT Sport. “You wouldn’t have thought that 18 months ago with what he’s given them in the right-wing back position....

City cruised to a straightforward 2-0 win over Stoke City on Monday, with David Silva scoring both goals at the bet365 Stadium. The result edges them closer to their seemingly inevitable Premier League title triumph and restores their 16-point lead over United. City are not in league action again until March 31 when they face Everton and then they host their local rivals on April 7, a match in which they could clinch the title....

WATCH: Ozil loses it with Alexis and Monreal The 19-year-old international moved to the Etihad Stadium from Palmeiras last month and has already found the net for his new side. It has been a dream start – one that has gone better than he could have hoped. “I have to say it’s going much better than I expected,” he said. “When I spoke to some players that had already played in the Premier League, they said it was going to be very difficult but I put in my head that by working hard, you can achieve your goals....

Lamo’s unauthorized entry into the Times’ site last month-where he also accessed sensitive employee payroll accounts and subscriber information-was not his first such escapade. During the past year, he has altered a news story on the Yahoo! site and made illegal entries into the AOL, Microsoft and WorldCom networks. Each time, he followed up by contacting the breached sites, informing authorities of security lapses, and sometimes even helping to plug the holes (without pay)....

Local gossip columnist Leo Dias sent the world abuzz on Thursday when he claimed the ex-Barcelona star would hold the unorthodox three-way nuptials in August. Ronaldinho has maintained an open relationship with Priscilla Coelho and Beatriz Souza for several years, and was reportedly set to exploit a loophole in Brazilian law that allows multiple individuals to be joined together in a civil union. Dias held that it would be an intimate ceremony in the player’s Rio mansion open only to family, although Ronaldinho’s sister was supposedly opposed to the union and would not be in attendance....

Down, but not out, this Celtics team has been a team of resilience all season, something All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum was quick to make mention of during his postgame press conference. “We’ve been in this situation before,” Tatum said as he assessed the situation. “It’s not over.” While Monday’s loss in Game 5 marked the first instance in which the Celtics have lost consecutive games during this postseason, the 3-2 series deficit is not the first deficit they’ve faced this postseason....

The 27-year-old is widely recognised as one of the foremost players in his position in the world, but gave the thumbs down to the ball following Spain’s 1-1 draw with Germany on Friday. De Gea conceded a thumping shot from Thomas Muller early in the second half and, while he is not crediting the new ball with that, he does believe it behaves in a strange manner. “It’s really strange,” he said....

On the back of their 2-0 loss to Zlatko Dalic’s side in their opening match, Rohr came under criticism for his insistence to see out the entire match without notable tweaks witnessed in pre-World Cup friendlies, notably in England and Argentina ties. But the German tactician, not sold on revealing his plans for their next clash in Volgograd, insists his side’s only failing in Saturday’s game was conceding ‘stupid goals’....

The 22-year-old is on loan at the Bundesliga side from Liverpool and has already scored four goals in 11 appearances in all competitions. Wolfsburg 2/1 to score O2.5 goals v Freiburg The Belgium international has become a first-team regular with the Bundesliga club, and Rebbe, who previously hailed Origi as an “extraordinary forward”, insists they have a responsibility to try to sign him. “It would be negligent of us not to try,” Rebbe told Kicker....

Actor Fisher was responsible for a huge upset earlier this month, when he defeated Yale Ph.D. candidate Amodio after a phenomenal 38-game win streak. Fisher—who hails from Coral Gables, Florida—went on to win 11 games in his subsequent run, before he was stopped in game 12 by Nancy Donehower, in an episode that aired on Tuesday. However, retired college admissions counselor Donehower’s run proved to be short-lived, as she was defeated on Wednesday’s installment of the show....

For the most part, my role is keeping a good inventory of the animals in the facility, along with a variety of other tasks. Not just knowing who they are and where they are, but really trying to get to know them. At DHA we have anything from 40 to 50 dogs and 50 to 100 cats in-house at any given time, and we have a lot of animals in foster care, normally between 10 to 30 dogs or puppies and 50 to 100 cats or kittens....

The show chronicles the life of former Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Joseline Hernandez as well as sex workers in the entertainment industry. Hernandez is known to fans for her eccentric and unfiltered behavior on the show Joseline’s Cabaret: Miami and now a second series based in Atlanta is due to air later this month on the Zeus Network. Today, Hernandez shared a clip from the upcoming season on her Instagram—and it garnered quite the reaction....
