Cristiano Ronaldo will not win a trophy for the first time in SEVENTEEN YEARS after Manchester United's dismal Champions League exit condemned them to a fifth straight season without silverware

Cristiano Ronaldo has been condemned to his first season without a trophy for 17 years after Manchester United were knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday.

The club's dismal exit at the last-16 stage was sealed by a 1-0 win for Atletico Madrid at Old Trafford.

And Portuguese forward Ronaldo's run of winning trophies at club level, which has continued unbroken since 2005, will now come to an end in his first season back at the Red Devils since signing from Juventus last summer.

United's European debacle also means they will now go without silverware for the fifth campaign in a row.

Moreover, it is far from certain the Red Devils will even qualify for the Champions League next season, with rivals Arsenal currently fourth in the Premier League - the last qualifying spot - a point ahead and having played three games fewer.

Ronaldo, 37, after scoring a hat-trick to help United beat Tottenham 3-2 on Saturday, had a poor game on a personal level, failing to record a single shot across the whole match.

That damning statistic marks only the third time in he's failed to do so in Champions League games and the first time since 2011, when he played for Spanish side Real Madrid against Barcelona.

And club icon Paul Scholes insisted it would not be a quick fix to sort out the cultural issues at United, claiming even a star signing like Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland or Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe would not solve their problems.

He said on BT Sport after the match: 'We've had a lot of pain, and there's still a bit of pain to come before we get to where we want to.

'I keep saying it, until we get a proper coach, a top-class unique coach, that wins football trophies, strikes fear into football players (we won't be back at the highest level).

Liverpool and Man City (are right at the top), it's a high bar now, consistency in which they play at the moment, the numbers they are getting… it could be two, three, four years, it could be that long before they are challenging.

'We haven't had that for eight years, ten years, since Sir Alex Ferguson left and there's no sign getting close to that, it feels we're going in the opposite direction.

'What it does show you, it doesn't matter what players you get together, what collection, what talent you get together, you need someone to harness that. You need a manager to pull all that together.

'If you bring in (Kylian) Mbappe and (Erling) Haaland this summer, United are still not winning the league. It doesn't matter who you bring in, it needs to be from the top down.'

Biden Says He’d Fight World War III for NATO But Not for Ukraine
U.S. has ‘sacred obligation’ to defend NATO, Biden says
No-fly zone in Ukraine would mean war, he tells Democrats
U.S. Will Not Fight War Against Russia in Ukraine: Biden


President Joe Biden said he would defend NATO to the point of World War III, but that he won’t risk touching off a wider conflict by fighting Russia in Ukraine and ruled out establishing a no-fly zone.

“As we provide this support to Ukraine, we’re going to continue to stand together with our allies in Europe and send an unmistakable message: that we will defend every inch of NATO territory,” Biden said in Philadelphia on Friday during a speech to Democrats. “If they move once -- granted, if we respond, it is World War III, but we have a sacred obligation on NATO territory.”

But he again said the U.S. won’t fight Russia in Ukraine, including by establishing a no-fly zone. “We will not fight the third World War in Ukraine,” he said.

He rejected calls for the U.S. to consider an effort to close the skies over Ukraine, which American military commanders have said would require shooting down Russian planes in the airspace.

Don’t kid yourself: No matter what you all say, that’s called World War III, OK?” Biden said.

The organisers of the Ballon d’Or Award, France Football, have announced that the 2022 edition of the award ceremony will take place in October.

This is a break from the November/December period they usually hold the ceremony.

They also announced a shift from the January to December calendar, a period during which the performance of footballers is viewed to determine nominees.

According to them, the award will now be issued on the basis of the performance of players during the classic football season, which is from August to July.

“No more January to December,” they tweeted.

“The #ballondor will now be awarded on the basis of a classic football season: August to July! No worries, the Qatar World Cup will count for the 2023 award. Less global but… much more demanding.”

They also announced a change to the process of selecting Ballon d’Or jury members.

The process of selection for the #ballondor jury members is changing. Ballon d’Or Jury > journalists from country part of the FIFA top 100 ranking. Women’s Ballon d’Or Jury > journalists from country part of the FIFA top 50 ranking,” the tweet read.

Paris St-Germain and Argentina international player, Lionel Messi, won the 2021 Men’s edition of the award while Alexia Putellas of Barcelona won the Women’s edition.

PSG and Italian international goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, won the Yashin Trophy in 2021.

Reports in Spain claim Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi attempted to storm the referee's dressing room after the French giants were dumped out of the Champions League by Real Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi reportedly stormed the referee's dressing room and broke a piece of equipment after their Champions League exit to Real Madrid on Wednesday night.


https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/psg-al-khelaifi-real-madrid-26431039
A report in Spanish publication Marca cites Movistar journalist Monica Marchante and claims Al-Khelaifi saw something he didn't like during the match.

Al-Khelaifi was reportedly left red faced, though, as he ended up storming into the office of Mejia Davila - a Real Madrid delegate.

Meanwhile, a different report from Goal cites an alleged copy of the referee's match report which says Al-Khelaifi 'behaved aggressively' as he tried to enter the dressing.

It continues by claiming that when the referee asked them to leave, the 'president hit a piece of the assistant's equipment, breaking it.'

The alleged incident came after PSG were dumped out of the Champions League by Real Madrid.

Kylian Mbappe's first-half goal had given Mauricio Pochettino's side a two-goal aggregate lead and looked to have put them within touching distance of the last-eight.

But a remarkable second half collapse saw the French giants relinquish that lead in the space of 17 minutes as veteran striker Karim Benzema stole the show.

Benzema, who turns 35 later this year, rolled back the years with a superb hat-trick as Real produced an incredible fightback to dump out the tournament favourites.

PSG's exit could have serious consequences for Pochettino, whose job will be under threat with Al-Khelaifi desperate to achieve Champions League success.

The former Tottenham boss has been consistently linked with a return to the Premier League with Manchester United, rumours that will grow further following the loss at the Bernabeu.

Despite the devastating defeat in the Spanish capital, PSG sporting director Leonardo appeared to back Pochettino after the match - although only for the remainder of this season.

We shouldn't throw everything in the bin," Leonardo told RMC Sport after the game. "We shouldn't start from scratch after every loss. The objective is to win the Champions League, and until half-time we were fine.

We have to look to improve this team and maintain morale to play in Ligue 1 and to finish the season well. We should stay together.

"Pochettino is still part of the project for this season. It's not the time to think about that."

WACK 100 SAYS 2PAC 'DIED A LEGEND' - BUT BIGGIE DIDN'T

WACK 100 SAYS 2PAC 'DIED A LEGEND' - BUT BIGGIE DIDN'T

Wack 100 is never afraid to speak his mind, even if it means ruffling feathers — and he unleashed another hot take recently, this time involving two of Hip Hop’s most cherished figures.

During a guest appearance on The Game‘s Drink Champs interview with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, the veteran music manager — who reps Game along with Blueface and Ray J — claimed that 2Pac was a “legend” when he passed away in September 1996, but his bitter rival The Notorious B.I.G. — who was killed six months later — wasn’t.

“2Pac died a legend; Biggie didn’t,” Wack declared. “His body of work, movies, double CDs, albums that went quadruple [platinum]. Biggie was dead before his [second] album came out. He became [a legend after he passed away]. Over the years muthafuckas remade songs, movies — he became that.”


Wack 100 also challenged the notion that Nipsey Hussle was a legend when he was shot and killed in March 2019, arguing, “I’m saying [Nipsey] will become a legend. It still hasn’t happened. Movies gotta happen, shit gotta happen. He’s only been gone, what, two years?”

Wack’s comments echo those he made about the late Victory Lap rapper in November 2019. “The man died with a million followers. No radio hits. No platinum hits. No world tours,” he told TMZ.

After he died, he went platinum, sold a bunch of records, followers went up nine, 10 million … Was he on his way? I think within time, yes he would have been. At the time of his demise … let’s keep it real. The truth can’t be defined as disrespect.”

The Game also weighed in on the 2Pac and Biggie debate by bringing Jesus (yes, Jesus) into the equation.

“Do we know how long Jesus was giving n-ggas the gospel before Judas ran him into the Romans and they killed him?” he pondered. “It might be a history lesson in that for all of us. Nip put his album out and then perished, but he was great to the people who knew he was great — but not to the world because n-ggas didn’t service his music while he was here like that.

“Same with Biggie. Biggie died before Life After Death came out; he was here for the first. So on the same accord, does anyone know was Jesus on his first album or his second album? … We need to figure that out and then let that be the ledger for what ‘legend’ is.”

It took less than two weeks for Russian President Vladimir Putin to turn his country into the most-sanctioned nation in the world, dwarfing the high sanction totals imposed on the likes of Iran, North Korea and Syria, thanks to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

It took less than two weeks for Russian President Vladimir Putin to turn his country into the most-sanctioned nation in the world, dwarfing the high sanction totals imposed on the likes of Iran, North Korea and Syria, thanks to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.



Data from Castellum.ai, a global database that tracks sanctions, shows that Russia was already the second-most sanctioned country in the world before Feb. 22, with 2,754 sanctions. At the time, Russia trailed only Iran, which has 3,616.

But that changed after Putin ordered Russian forces to enter eastern Ukraine last month. Since then, Russia has faced 2,778 new sanctions from the United States and countries around the world — bringing its new total to a whopping 5,532 sanctions.

Now, Russia is No. 1 in a category no country wants to own. Russia’s sanctions more than doubled the 2,608 sanctions imposed on Syria, and far outpace the 2,077 sanctions placed on North Korea.

The United States leads the way with 1,194 sanctions on Russia, according to data from Castellum.ai. Switzerland, which has been historically neutral, has placed 568 sanctions on Russia since Feb. 22, the most of any country or organization during that time. The European Union, France, Canada, Australia and the United States have each also issued hundreds of sanctions against Russia in less than two weeks.

Bloomberg News was the first to report on the findings.
Russia’s ascent to the most-sanctioned country in the world comes as President Biden announced Tuesday that the United States plans to ban imports of oil and natural gas from Russia — a move seen as one of Washington’s most far-reaching actions to penalize Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. In explaining why he was banning the imports, which carries enormous geopolitical consequences, Biden said, “Americans have rallied to support the Ukrainian people and have made it clear we will not be part of subsidizing Putin’s war.”

“Ukraine will never be a victory for Putin,” the president said.

The ban has become a reality after a stretch in which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has pleaded with lawmakers in the United States and around the globe for more action against Russia. Ukraine has again accused Russia of shelling evacuation routes meant to allow civilians to flee battle zones, after Russia said its troops would observe a temporary cease-fire to allow safe passage in several besieged Ukrainian cities.

More than 2 million Ukrainians have fled the country since the start of the invasion, the United Nations said Tuesday.

More than 2 million Ukrainians have fled the country since the start of the invasion, the United Nations said Tuesday.

In historic crisis, 2 million people have fled Ukraine since the start of Russian invasion, U.N. says

The United States and countries around the world have imposed historic, wide-ranging sanctions on Russia in hope of isolating the country and pressuring Putin to abandon the war. Some of that pressure has been directed toward its central bank and Russian oligarchs considered Putin allies.

The Russian economy has been crippled by the international community’s actions to the point that Putin called for the “normalization” of relations with other states last week, saying Moscow has “absolutely no ill intentions with regard to our neighbors.”

But after saying there was “no need” to escalate the situation or impose further sanctions on Russia, Putin on Saturday said that sanctions and pushback from world leaders in response to the invasion are risking “the future of Ukrainian statehood.” He claimed that the sanctions leveled by the United States and the international community amount to “a means of fighting against Russia.”

“These sanctions that are being imposed are like the declaration of war,” he said.

Russia is no stranger to sanctions. In 2014, in response to the Kremlin’s annexation of Crimea, the United States and Europe sanctioned Russia’s finance, defense and oil industries. Despite those sanctions, the Russian government increased its reserves from $430 billion in May 2014 to $640 billion, financed largely through sales of oil and gas.

When those sanctions were placed on Russia nearly eight years ago, the nation joined other countries that each had thousands of sanctions imposed on them. Most of Iran’s sanctions are related to its nuclear program and support of terrorism, while North Korea has also been repeatedly sanctioned for developing nuclear weapons.

But as the invasion continues and fighting intensifies, Russia is head and shoulders above all others as the king of sanctions.
