Pure brilliance from Cristiano Ronaldo helped Real Madrid to a crushing 3-0 first-leg victory over Juventus in Turin in their Champions League quarter-final clash on Tuesday, with the Italians seeing their misery compounded by having Paulo Dybala sent off for two bookable offences.

Juventus went into the game looking to avenge their defeat in last season's final in Cardiff, but wound up on the losing side once again as a ruthless Real Madrid put them to the sword at Juventus Stadium.
The visitors got off the the perfect start as Ronaldo opened the scoring inside three minutes. Marcelo showed nice feet to find Isco down the left and the Spaniard crossed low, with Ronaldo stealing a march on his marker to prod past Gianluigi Buffon and into the far corner. The goal saw the Portuguese make Champions League history as he eclipsed Ruud Van Nistelrooy by scoring the the 10th consecutive game.
The early setback though Juve responded well and almost found an equaliser when it took a stunning reflex stop from Keylor Navas to keep out Gonzalo Higuain's volleyed effort and Dybala was inches away from connecting with Mattia De Sciglio's cross-cum-shot from the right. Just minutes later Real were inches away themselves as Toni Kroos saw a pile-driver from range crash against the bar.
The hosts were up in arms on the stroke of half-time when they were denied a penalty after the ball appeared to strike Casemiro's arm, before Dybala was booked for diving in the aftermath. With that Real went in at the break a goal to the good, but they ran away with things in the second period. First, Ronaldo dragged a low effort just off target from a narrow angle after good work from Benzema, before Dybala's deflected free-kick dropped narrowly wide with Navas beaten.

If you’re looking for something a bit more substantial than happy mother’s day this time round, why not use a poem or quote?

Mother’s Day Poems
Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome Has many sonnets: so here now shall be One sonnet more, a love sonnet, from me To her whose heart is my heart’s quiet home, To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee I learnt love-lore that is not troublesome; Whose service is my special dignity, And she my loadstar while I go and come.
And so because you love me, and because I love you, Mother, I have woven a wreath Of rhymes wherewith to crown your honoured name:
In you not fourscore years can dim the flame Of love, whose blessed glow transcends the laws Of time and change and mortal life and death.

-Christina Rossetti-
Love set you going like a fat gold watch. The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry Took its place among the elements. Our voices echo, magnifying your arrival.
New statue. In a drafty museum, your unclothedness Shadows our safety. We stand round blankly as walls. I’m no more your mother Than the cloud that distills a mirror to reflect its own slow Effacement at the wind’s hand.
All night your moth-breath Flickers among the flat pink roses. I wake to listen: A far sea moves in my ear. One cry, and I stumble from bed, cow-heavy and floral In my Victorian nightgown. Your mouth opens clean as a cat’s. The window square Whitens and swallows its dull stars. And now you try Your handful of notes; The clear vowels rise like balloons.
–Sylvia Plath-
Mother, any distance greater than a single span requires a second pair of hands. You come to help me measure windows, pelmets, doors, the acres of the walls, the prairies of the floors.
You at the zero-end, me with the spool of tape, recording length, reporting metres, centimetres back to base, then leaving up the stairs, the line still feeding out, unreeling years between us. Anchor. Kite.
I space-walk through the empty bedrooms, climb the ladder to the loft, to breaking point, where something has to give; two floors below your fingertips still pinch the last one-hundredth of an inch…
I reach towards a hatch that opens on an endless sky to fall or fly.

What it's like to win to win the Champions League as a player but Davor Suker is one such individual, and the former Real Madrid star believes his former club will be present in Kiev for the 2018 final.

The Croatian was part of Los Blancos' seventh European Cup win and remains a popular figure in the Spanish capital. He spoke exclusively and detailed just why he feels that the defending champions are destined to overcome Paris-Saint Germain on Tuesday.

You know perfectly well what it's like to win the Champions League with a team that's struggling in the league, how does it work?"

The Champions League is different from everything else, the anthem, the atmosphere, if Real Madrid are strong physically then they can beat anyone. This was demonstrated in the final against Juventus, many people spoke about Juve's defensive power but in the end they did nothing. I hope that Real Madrid are in the final in Kiev."Two weeks ago, Los Blancos were in a close game against PSG but ended up winning with a two-goal advantage,

what does this team have to do in order to transform itself for the big games?

"The players are more or less the same, they have hardly changed. When the players hear the anthem, their mind is immediately focused, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights they perform better, they understand that it's their competition, that's what happens with Real Madrid."

Billy Graham, who counseled presidents and preached to millions across the world from his native North Carolina to communist North Korea during his 70 years on the pulpit, died on Wednesday at the age of 99, a spokesman said.

Graham died at 8 a.m. EST (1300 GMT) at his home in Montreat, North Carolina, according to Jeremy Blume, a spokesman for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. With his steely features and piercing blue eyes, Graham was a powerful figure when he preached in his prime, roaming the stage and hoisting a Bible as he declared Jesus Christ to be the only solution to humanity’s problems.
According to his ministry, he preached to more people than anyone else in history, reaching hundreds of millions of people either in person or via TV and satellite links. Graham became the de facto White House chaplain to several U.S. presidents, most famously Richard Nixon. He also met with scores of world leaders and was the first noted evangelist to take his message behind the Iron Curtain. “He was probably the dominant religious leader of his era,” said William Martin, author of “A Prophet With Honor: The Billy Graham Story.” “No more than one or two popes, perhaps one or two other people, came close to what he achieved.” In a rare trip away from his home in his later years, Graham had celebrated his 95th birthday on Nov. 7, 2013, at a hotel in Asheville, North Carolina, where some 800 guests, including Republican politician Sarah Palin, business magnates Rupert Murdoch and Donald Trump and television hostess Kathie Lee Gifford paid tribute.
The celebration featured a video of a sermon that his son Franklin said was Graham’s last message to the nation. Graham had been working for a year on the video, which was aired on Fox News. In it, he said America was “in great need of a spiritual awakening.” In his prime Graham had a thunderous, quick-burst speaking style that earned him the nickname “God’s Machine Gun.” Through his “Crusades for Christ,” Graham sowed fields of devotion across the American heartland that would become fertile ground for the growth of the religious right’s conservative political movement.

The R&B and pop star is celebrating her birthday about eight months after she first stepped out with Saudi boyfriend Hassan Jameel.

This relationship is different from the past ones Rihanna has been known to have. She has notoriously dated fellow music artists—there was her past relationship with Chris Brown, which ended horrifically, and more recently, Drake, with whom she had often collaborated and performed with. Hassan has nothing to do with the music industry. He's also probably the wealthiest man she's ever dated. He is a billionaire who serves as the deputy president and vice chairman of the family-owned Abdul Latif Jameel, a conglomerate that is one of the largest businesses in the world and which exclusively owns Toyota distribution rights in Saudi Arabia.

According to The Independent, his family fortune is estimated to be approximately $1.5 billion. His family is so rich that they even own their own pro soccer league. Rihanna and Hassan keep their relationship private. The two do not talk about each other in the press. Rihanna has also never brought Hassan as a date to a celebrity event. Rihanna and Hassan have rarely been photographed out together and have tended to avoid paparazzi-ridden places.

Big earthquake has hit the UK with thousands of people reporting tremors across England from as far as Cornwall to Liverpool.

Its epicentre fell about eight miles northeast of Swansea city centre, according to the US Geological Survey, sparking an evacuation at Swansea University.
An independent scientific organisation based in Paris, said it measured 4.7 on the Richter scale, at a depth of 10km. Tremors were felt up to 300km, 190 miles, from the epicentre. It is the fifth biggest earthquake ever recorded in the UK and the biggest to rock Britain in ten years. EMSC estimated around 10 million people would have felt the quake, and some small aftershocks following the quake. Dyfed-Powys Police in Wales confirmed the tremor had been felt in its control room and they were experiencing a high volume of calls in relation to the incident. Swansea University was evacuated after the quake. Port Talbot Town FC reported the earthquake temporarily stopped play. The club wrote on Twitter: "43' - temporary stop in play.
A recorded earthquake in the area. Incredible." A local in Cheltenham, aged 32, told Express.co.uk: "It was like a big lorry bouncing past the house at speed. "It sounded like an earthquake." Roger Heard, in Bradford upon Avon, told Express.co.uk: "Suddenly my chair was sliding from side to side. My wife and I ran outside, we found it very unnerving". Meyrick Sheen, father of actor Michael Sheen, told Wales Online: “We have lived here for 40 years and we have never experienced anything like this before, it felt like a massive explosion under ground. “The walls shook, the lights flashed and the pictures were shaking. It was frightening.”

The pair, who reportedly met on the set of comedy film Wanderlust, said the mutual decision was "lovingly made" at the end of last year.

They gave no reason for the split and said they intended to continue their "cherished friendship". Aniston, 49, and Theroux, 46, were married in a secret ceremony in Los Angeles in August 2015. They had been together for four years before the wedding, which took place at their Bel Air mansion. In a joint statement, the couple said they intended to remain friends.
"We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship," they said.
"Normally we would do this privately, but given that the gossip industry cannot resist an opportunity to speculate and invent, we wanted to convey the truth directly."
"Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another," the statement added. The magazine Architectural Digest had just published a feature about the couple's home in Bel Air , Los Angeles. In it, Aniston is quoted as saying: "I look around at my husband and my dogs and our home, and there's nowhere else I want to be." Theroux was not interviewed for the piece.

Tired of annoying online ads? There could be some relief starting Thursday, if you're one of the vast majority of people who use Google Chrome as your default browser.

Google is launching a built-in blocker in Chrome that is designed to filter out ads it says repeatedly violate standards put out by the Coalition of Better Ads. Pop-up ads? Check. Auto-playing video ads? Yep. Large sticky ads? You know, the ones that stay on your screen even as you try to scroll past them. Those are on the blacklist, too. Of course, Google is simply putting in its own version of what many users have already installed by third parties.
And, not surprisingly, as The Associated Press notes, "many of Google's own most lucrative ads will sail through its new filters." "We want the web to be a place where businesses can thrive and make revenue, but also a place where users can have a good experience," said Ryan Schoen, Google's product manager for web platform work at Chrome.

The first leg of this crunch round of 16 tie will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu, where Paris Saint-Germain will attempt to establish a new order by beating the reigning champions and achieve continental glory for the first time since their money-spinning Qatari takeover seven years ago.

A third successive European triumph would salvage a disappointing season for Zinedine Zidane so far, with their wheels coming off in domestic competitions. 'Los Blancos' desperately cling onto the hope of being in Kiev on May 26. Zinedine Zidane's mind was in the PSG clash when he picked his lineup for the La Liga game against Real Sociedad on Saturday; Casemiro and Bale were on the bench, and Luka Modric came off too, suggesting all three will play.
The 'bbc' is posed to start, with Karim Benzemalooking rediscover his goalscoring form to give him the confidence he needs. Focus will mainly be on Neymar, primarily because he's dazzled for the Ligue 1 giants since his summer switch form Barcelona, but also because of speculation linking him with a move to the Bernabeu, a stadium where the Brazilian feels very much at home. Dani Carvajal is the only senior absentee for the hosts, as he is suspended for the first leg, while Dani Ceballos is a slight doubt with an ankle problem and fellow youngster Jesus Vallejo is missing with a hamstring injury. They still made the squad list released by Zidane on Tuesday. Gareth Bale should start after struggling with injuries this season.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday night that he paid $130,000 to pornographic film star Stormy Daniels, who has in the past said she had an affair with Trump.

In a statement late Tuesday, the lawyer, Michael Cohen, confirmed a report in The New York Times that he made the payment to Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, a month before the 2016 presidential election. "Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly," Cohen said. Cohen said he told the Federal Election Commission the same thing after the nonprofit government accountability group Common Cause filed a complaint alleging that the payment was an illegal "in kind" political contribution.
"The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful, and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone," he said. He didn't say Tuesday night why would have made such a large payment on his own initiative without reimbursement. And he also left it unclear what the payment was even for. While Cohen has strongly denied that Trump and Daniels had an affair in 2006, he declined to answer Tuesday night when asked whether the payment was intended to silence Daniels in the weeks before the election, as The Wall Street Journal reported last month.

We take a look ahead today Carabao Cup semi-final first leg match between Chelsea and Arsenal from Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea:

Eden Hazard should be fit for the game after overcoming a calf injury, but new signing Ross Barkley will miss out as he continues his comeback from hamstring surgery. David Luis is avail once again after making his comeback in the FA Cup draw with Norwich at the weekend.

Arsenal:

Arsene Wenger will once again watch from the stands as his touchline ban continues and the Frenchman will be without Mesut Ozil, Laurent Koscielny, Nacho Monreal, Sead Kolasinac, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud, who are all sidelined through injury. Ozil's absence means that Alexis Sanchez is expected to start, despite Manchester City having tabled a fresh bid for the Chilean. New signing Konstantinos Mavropanos could feature on the bench due to Arsenal's minor injury crisis at the back. Cup goalkeeper David Ospina will start ahead of Petr Cech, but other than that Wenger is expected to name a strong side. Midfielder Granit Xhaka and defender Shkodran Mustafi are both doubts for the game and face late fitness tests.

Possible lineups:

Chelsea:

Caballero, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Cahill, Moses, Bakayoko, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso, Hazard, Morata.

Arsenal:

Ospina, Chambers, Mertesacker, Holding, Bellerin, Wilshere, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles, Sanchez, Welbeck, Lacazette....

Stoke City have signed Austria defender Moritz Bauer.

The right-back joins the managerless Potters on a four-and-a-half-year contract, signing for an undisclosed fee from Russian club Rubin Kazan.

Stoke sacked Mark Hughes on Saturday following their 2-1 FA Cup defeat at the hands of League Two Coventry City after a poor run that had left the club 18th in the Premier League.

"Moritz is a player we have been trailing for some time and was someone Mark Hughes wanted to bring into the club," chief executive Tony Scholes said....

Real Madrid is one that goes back to the time the Belgian joined Chelsea. He has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Bernabeu and neither the player nor Zidane have done much to extinguish said rumours.

Madrid are undergoing their own crisis midway through the season and arguably their top target for the transfer window has turned down two new deals at Stamford Bridge. As revealed by 'Radio Montecarlo', in this critical situation the team is currently in, Real have turned to Hazard and have already begun negotiations with those that surround the 27-year-old.

The French outlet also claimed that Chelsea have offered Hazard an extension to his current contract, which ends in 2020, and twice the Belgian has refused to sign. Not even a hike in his current wages to make him the highest earner in the Premier League could convince Hazard, who would earn €17.6 million euros to surpass the salary of Paul Pogba (€17 million)....

Tottenham winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou has joined Burnley on loan for the rest of the season.

Sources had earlier told ESPN FC that Spurs want the French winger, 22, to gain Premier League experience and the deal will not include the option to make the transfer permanent in the summer. Nkoudou said he had spoken to Spurs teammate Kieran Trippier, who joined from Burnley in 2015, about life at Turf Moor. ""When I spoke with Trippier he told me good things about this club, about the players and everything about Burnley," he told Burnley's official website.

"I am happy to be here, so thank you, Trippier. "I think it's a big opportunity to play my first minutes this season in the Premier League. Everyone is shocked because Burnley is just after the big six. They have played very well. "I watched the last game against Liverpool when they played very well and were unlucky. That's why I have come here, to find football." Nkoudou said he hopes to develop under Burnley boss Sean Dyche. "I knew he is a big manager who likes young players and players who go forward, so it suits my character to come here and I am happy to work with him," he said.....

Barcelona presented new signing Philippe Coutinho to their fans on the pitch at Camp Nou on Monday.

Philippe Coutinho thanked Barcelona fans for their warm welcome as he was presented on the pitch at Camp Nou on Monday. The Brazil international completed his move from Liverpool to Barca earlier in the day by undergoing a medical and signing a five-and-a-half-year contract.

Coutinho then ventured out onto the playing surface for the first time and, despite the thigh injury that is set to keep him out for three weeks, performed kick-ups to the delight of the thousands of fans in attendance.

"I'm happy to be here because of the history of the club and the players that have played here through history," he said. I want to thank everybody for the great welcome, especially on social media. "I hope to be able to play soon and live up to the high expectations."....

Manchester City kept alive their chances of winning four trophies this season, coming back from a goal down to beat Burnley 4-1 in the FA Cup third round on Saturday with two goals from Sergio Aguero.

The Argentine striker helped rescue the tie for Pep Guardiola's team after they trailed to Ashley Barnes's first-half opener for their Premier League rivals. But the equaliser, in the 56th minute, was not without controversy as Ilkay Gundogan's quickly taken free-kick caught Burnley unprepared and played Aguero clean in on goal for City's all-time leading scorer to complete a routine finish.

That led to a furious reaction from Burnley players, who clearly felt the free-kick had been taken too quickly and Guardiola and his opposite number Sean Dyche became embroiled in an angry argument with the fourth official and each other. That row was still ongoing when Aguero claimed a brilliant second, playing a pass to Gundogan, who back-heeled the ball cleverly back to the forward, who again gave Nick Pope no chance with an unstoppable shot. Leroy Sane ensured City would have a comfortable passage into the fourth round after 70 minutes with another well-worked goal. The German played another devastating one-two with David Silva, running through to receive the return pass before finishing impressively from a wide angle. And, with eight minutes to go, Pope rushed from his area to try and beat Sane to a Kevin De Bruyne through ball, allowing the winger to round him and square for substitute Bernardo Silva to score into an open goal.

Burnley opener

It was a harsh scoreline on the visitors, who had already threatened by the time Barnes fired them into a 25th-minute lead. It was the most direct goal imaginable as Sam Vokes rose to flick on a long punt forward from goalkeeper Pope. There was ample opportunity for John Stones to clear the danger but the England defender completely miskicked his attempted clearance, allowing Barnes to sprint through on goal and beat Claudio Bravo with an accomplished finish from 15 yards. City could not say they had not been warned, with the best chance of the game having already fallen to the visitors from Johann Berg Gudmundsson's 18th-minute corner, which former City junior Ben Mee headed powerfully across an empty six-yard area....

Barcelona fans had reason to sleep easy when Lionel Messi finally put pen to paper on a new contract in November, it appears that there is a caveat to consider.

Given the volatile political situation in Catalonia, it is being reported that the Argentine has planned an exit route if all goes pear shaped for the Blaugrana.

Spanish daily newspaper El Mundo's front page for Friday reveals that Messi would only remain at the club if it were part of either the Spanish, French, English or German league system.Naturally, remaining in LaLiga would be the realistic option for Barcelona given the legal and practical issues in integrating to a distant competition.....

Goncalo Guedes has been one of the stars of the 2017/18 LaLiga season and Paris Saint-Germain, who loaned him to Valencia last August, are keen to cash in on his success.

The fact that the Ligue 1 side are under Financial Fair Play pressure to sell, given how much they've spent on Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, means that they are studying their options, with the Parisians eager to move the 21-year-old on this January, rather than wait until his loan deal - which did not include a purchase option - expires at the end of the season.

Valencia are one of the clubs rumoured to be interested in signing the player on a permanent basis and Le Parisien reported in December that they were going to buy him for 35 million euros....

Liverpool extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 16 matches after an added-time Ragnar Klavan goal gave them a thrilling 2-1 win at Burnley in the Premier League on Monday.


Johann Berg Gudmundsson's stooping header in the 87th minute for the home side looked to have frustrated the visitors before Estonian defender Klavan bundled the ball in at the back post from a Dejan Lovren header to snatch all three points.A stunning 61st minute strike from Sadio Mane, who blasted the ball home on the turn from the edge of the area, had put fourth-placed Liverpool ahead as they moved to 44 points.It was a tightly contested game and Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp was delighted with his side's spirit."Did we deserve to win? I don't care. We got the three points," said the German. "It was a fantastic finish to the game.


This is one of the toughest places to play all season."Today it wasn't possible to play brilliantly but it was an open game, we had a massive setback with the equaliser but we changed it again - we haven't done that too often this year."Klopp made seven changes from the side that beat Leicester City 2-1 at Anfield on Saturday, with Mohamed Salah and Philippe Coutinho injured and forward Roberto Firmino left on the bench."I like rotation, I love the quality of my squad and I am really pleased. It was not fantastic football but it was a fantastic attitude," said Klopp.

Mohamed Salah scored twice as Liverpool came from behind to maintain their push for a Champions League place with 2-1 victory over Leicester on Saturday.

Jamie Vardy put Leicester ahead but Liverpool, who had new £75 million ($100 million) signing Vigil van Dijk watching from the Anfield stands, fought back after the interval to secure the points.

Salah was again instrumental for Jurgen Klopp's side as he took his tally to 17 Premier League goals this season with two fine finishes. Liverpool, who remain fourth, are four points clear of fifth placed Tottenham. Klopp's goalkeeper rotation policy saw Loris Karius start ahead of Simon Mignolet, who dropped to the bench, and after just three minutes the German was forced to pick the ball out of the net.

Joel Matip's timid pass from the back sold Emre Can short and Vicente Iborra's sharpness saw him steal possession and quickly release Riyad Mahrez down the right flank....

We take a look ahead to today Premier League game between Chelsea and Stoke at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea: 'Blues' boss Antonio Conte has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the game, but may make changes to freshen up his squad ahead of the trip to Arsenal on Wednesday. Defender Andreas Christen could return to the starting lineup after missing the win over Brighton on Boxing Day due to illness. David Luiz and Charly Musona both remain unavailable with knee and gorin injuries respectively, but both are closing in on a return to action.

Stoke: Mark Hughes is facing a defensive crisis ahead of the game, with Ryan Sawcross (calf), Bruno Martins Indi (groin) and Glen Johnson (knee) all injured, whilst Kurt Zouma is ineligible against his parent club. They could be boosted by the return of Erik Pieters, who has missed their last two games through injury.
