Ronaldo earned yet another piece of Champions League history on Wednesday, despite seeing his goalscoring run come to an end. Cristiano Ronaldo became the player with the most wins in Champions League history as Real Madrid claimed a 2-1 victory at Bayern Munich. The holders came from behind to win the first leg of the semi-final tie at the Allianz Arena, with Marcelo and Marco Asensio overturning Joshua Kimmich's opening goal. It means Ronaldo has now won 96 matches in the competition, one more than his former Madrid team-mate Iker Casillas. The victory, which was Madrid's 150th in the Champions League, came despite the Portugal star seeing his own remarkable scoring run in Europe come to an end. It was the first time Ronaldo failed to get a goal in a match in this competition since May 2017, in the semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid – a run of 11 consecutive games.

Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich: Defender David Alaba faces a race against time to prove his fitness after sitting out the final training session ahead of the game with a thigh straing. Should he not make it, his place in the squad is expected to be taken by Brazilian full-back Rafinha. Midfielder Corentin Tolisso is also a doubt with a bruised shin. On-loan playmaker James Rodriguez could feature against his parent club, but Kingsley Coman and Arturo vidal will both miss out with ankle and knee injuries respectively. Real Madrid: Zinedine Zidane's side have no new injury concerns ahead of this one. Defender Nacho continues to be sidelined by an ankle injury suffered against Las Palmas, but other than that 'Los Blancos' have a full complement to choose from. Bayern Munich Manager Jupp Heynckes: "Of course, he (Cristiano Ronaldo) is a big topic for us in the game analysis. "But don't forget we have Robert Lewandowski, who has scored 39 goals. "So you have to ask, how can you stop Lewandowski? "The duel against Real has a great tradition. Of course, the semi-final offers a great stage. There are world-class players on both sides."

Jordan Henderson is confident Mohamed Salah will not be lured away from Anfield in the same manner the Egyptian was tempted from Roma last year. Salah has surpassed all expectations since his then-club record 42 million-euro (£37 million, $52 million) move back to the Premier League last June and will face his old club in the first leg of Liverpool's Champions League semi-final on Tuesday. An incredible return of 41 goals in 46 appearances saw Salah crowned the Premier League Players' Player of the Year on Sunday. However, unlike Liverpool stars of recent seasons such as Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho, who were attracted by the glamour of a move to Barcelona, Henderson hopes Salah is convinced to stay by the growing momentum at Liverpool and the belief they can compete for major trophies under Jurgen Klopp. "He's a fantastic player, obviously he's up there with the world's best and there will be other clubs that want to take him away," said Henderson. "But he's in a great place with a great set of lads, great team, with a great manager, going in the right direction. We want to create our own history here and I'm sure Mo will want to be part of that for many years to come." Roma co-owner James Pallotta recognised this week that Liverpool didn't even have to beat off much competition to Salah's signature, as he had only shown inconsistent flashes of his full potential in two years in the Italian capital. Klopp's 'privileged' players Klopp is credited with finding the system to bring the best out of Salah. And having led Liverpool back to the last four of the Champions League for the first time in a decade, Henderson said his team-mates feel "privileged" to work with the German. "He's one of the best managers in the world. First and foremost tactically it goes without question how knowledgeable he is within the game, you can see that in the performances, the style of play and how we play football," he added. "Off the field he's a fantastic human. Very genuine, has a great passion for football and that transcends throughout the team. "He always keeps you on your toes, always looking for more, he never wants the standards to drop no matter who we are playing. He's an amazing manager and everybody in the squad feels privileged to be working with him." READ MORE- https://ochoochogift..com.ng/2018/04/salah-to-hang-around-to-make-history-at.html |
22-year-old Germany international beat out the likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford to take the prestigious annual prize Manchester City winger Leroy Sane has been rewarded for a spectacular season in England with the PFA Young Player of the Season award. Sane, 22, signed for the Citizens from Schalke in 2016 for a fee of £37 million. The Germany international impressed in his first Premier League term, and made the PFA shortlist for the best young talent in 2016-17. He has gone one better this season, beating out team-mates Ederson and Raheem Sterling to take the award. Sane has made 28 appearances to date in the league, scoring nine goals to help City stroll to the title with five games to spare. In all competitions the winger has hit 13 times in 45 games, proving a valuable option for City across the forward line as Pep Guardiola's men took the Premier League by storm. A total of six players were shortlisted for the PFA award, which has been presented annually since 1974 to the best talent aged 23 or under.

Liverpool's 41-goal forward has seen a stunning debut campaign at Anfield recognised by his peers, with the Egyptian fending off Man City's star Mohamed Salah’s stunning season at Liverpool, which has delivered 41 goals, has seen him named the PFA Player of the Year for 2017-18. Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne finished second in the voting, with Tottenham striker Harry Kane coming in third. Acquired for £36.9 million in the summer of 2017, the Egypt international has made a remarkable and record-breaking impact during a second stint in England. A previous spell at Chelsea which saw him struggle to prove his worth has been quickly erased from the memory by a dazzling debut campaign at Anfield. Those exploits have now been recognised by his peers, with Salah taking the top prize at the 45th PFA Awards at Grosvenor House in central London on Sunday evening. He had faced fierce competition for a prestigious prize, with De Bruyne having enjoyed an eye-catching campaign with Premier League champions Manchester City. His Etihad Stadium team-mates Leroy Sane and David Silva had also been in the running after helping to restore domestic dominance for the Blues. Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea and Kane completed the six-man shortlist. All were worthy contenders, but Salah has emerged victorious after enjoying the most consistent of seasons. He marked his competitive Reds debut with a goal against Watford on the opening weekend and has not looked back. His 46 outings across all competitions have seen him find the target 41 times – with 31 Premier League efforts enough to have him leading Golden Ball and Golden Shoe races. Salah is also chasing down the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award, with it possible that he could emulate a double achieved by former Liverpool icon Luis Suarez in 2013-14. He has already matched the Uruguayan’s best return across a Premier League campaign and is chasing down the Reds’ record single-season haul of 47 achieved by Ian Rush in 1983-84.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season, bringing his 22-year reign to an end. The Frenchman announced on Friday that he would quit the club at the end of the current campaign, a year before his contract was due to end.

Time Magazine revealed its list of the 100 most influential people in the world on Thursday and this year, the “Anti” singer rightfully made the cut. (Sidenote: when has Rihanna not been one of the most influential people in the world?). Adele is rolling in deep with Rihanna. Of course, the outlet thought it best to emotionally destroy music fans everywhere by having Adele profile the Fenty Beauty queen, whom she describes as “the most gracious, loyal and funny goofball of an icon.” “I actually can’t remember the first time I met Rihanna; I was probably numb from the shock of it,” the British songstress wrote. “She is one year older than me, but I feel like she’s been around forever. The progression of her superstardom feels steady, well deserved and extremely natural.” Adele goes on to declare that ever since the hit song “Umbrella,” Rih Rih has forever changed the game and that no one will ever “get away with copying” her. |
This year’s Coachella headliners have been quite something, The Weeknd kicking off the weekend with a hit-packed set while Beyoncé blew everyone away with a stunning show. Sunday saw Eminem take to the stage, bringing along three key guests. First up was Bebe Rexha, who performed “The Monster”, a song she co-wrote but was originally performed by Rhianna. Next was 50 Cent, who performed the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ track “Patiently Waiting” with Eminem, before launching into snippets of “I Get Money” and “In da Club”. Finally came Dr. Dre, who previously appeared alongside Eminem when the rapper headlined Coachella in 2012. The duo began with “Still Dre” before launching into “Medicine Man” and “Forgot About Dre”.

Saturday's Premier League early kick-off, as relegation contenders Southampton host Chelsea at St. Mary's. Southampton: The 'Saints' have almost everybody free at their disposal, the only absentees being Jack Stephens, who is suspended after being sent off in Southampton's previous game against Arsenal, and Steven Davis, who is not yet back to 100% in his recovery from an achilles injury. Mario Lemina and Shane Long are both doubtful, although they could be in contention from the bench. It is possible that Jan Bednarek could receive a Premier League debut to fill Jack Stephens' place in the five-man defence, although Mark Hughes could also revert back to a back four. Chelsea: Ross Barkley returns to the squad for the 'Blues', after recovering from a hamstring injury, however he is lacking match fitness and is doubtful to start. David Luiz is expected to be out for a few more weeks as he recovers from an ankle problem, while Thibaut Courtois (hamstring), Pedro (knock), Davide Zappacosta (hamstring) and Danny Drinkwater (groin) are all doubts. Southampton Manager Mark Hughes: The Saints boss made it clear that he was happy with the performance last week against Arsenal, even if the result wasn't positive. "Clearly after the West Ham game, any momentum we were hoping to get from the cup game [against Wigan] had been dissipated," he said. "So we needed to have a good performance, which I felt we did against Arsenal, albeit we didn't get the result we all wanted," "But confidence hasn't been diminished in any way, shape or form. We're ready to go. We've had another good week and we'll get the benefit of that. It's a busy week and one that will test us, but we're all ready for it and ready for the challenge." Chelsea Manager Antonio Conte: The London side face Southampton on Sunday 22, but Conte is focusing on this game for now. "We have to go game by game," he said. "Tomorrow is the most important for us against Southampton." "This team [Southampton] has great quality in the squad. It’s a great surprise to see them in this position. We must pay great attention tomorrow." READ MORE:- https://ochoochogift..com.ng/2018/04/southampton-vs-chelsea-preview-and.html |
Mohamed Salah believes Liverpool can win the Champions League, while adding that Harry Kane has it "easier" in the Golden Boot race. Liverpool can win the Champions League this season, according to 39-goal star man Mohamed Salah. The Reds brushed Premier League leaders Manchester City aside in the quarter-finals to earn a draw against Salah's old club Roma, fresh from knocking out Barcelona, in the last four. Egypt winger Salah concedes there is still a way to go before Liverpool can think about a sixth top European title, but he is backing his side. "We can [win it] - we are in the semi-final," he told CNN. "I always say that we take it step by step, but we are in the semi-final and anything can happen. "Everyone went into the quarter-final with this emotion that we have to win, we can do it. Now, with the semi-final, it's two games to the last step." Salah is locked in a battle with Tottenham's Harry Kane for the Premier League's Golden Boot, and he claims his centre-forward rivals have it "easier" - despite his four-goal advantage.

29 Premier League goals to his name already this season, Egypt international Mohamed Salah is targeting more records with Liverpool. Salah has set his sights on breaking the Premier League record for most goals in a single season. Egypt international Salah has been a revelation since returning to English football in a €42million transfer from Roma in July, scoring 39 goals in all competitions Salah tops the Premier League's scoring charts with 29, although he is being hunted down by Tottenham's Harry Kane - the winner of the Golden Boot in each of the last two seasons - who has 25. Alan Shearer, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez share the record for most goals in a Premier League season, the trio each managing to reach 31 strikes. Salah has five matches remaining this term - starting with Saturday's home game against Bournemouth - and is confident of overtaking Suarez, Ronaldo and the Premier League's all-time top scorer Shearer. "I'm very proud to see myself fighting to break the record for the Premier League," Salah said. "I'm thinking about each game.

Champions League quarter-finals, as Barcelona host Roma at the Camp Nou in the first leg of their tie. Barcelona: The big news for Barcelona is that key midfielder Sergio Busquets is likely to return to the team, after recovering from the injury that he sustained against Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16. Another big boost for Barca will be the return of Leo Messi, who was only fit enough for a substitute cameo when his side took on Sevilla recently. The main miss for the home side will be Philippe Coutinho, who is cup tied, having played for Liverpool in the Champions League this season, although his absence will be offset by Busquets' return. Roma: The visitors will be without midfielder Cengiz Under, who picked up an injury on international duty with Turkey. Radja Nainggolan was also an injury concern, after limping off when Roma faced Bologna, however the midfielder has been named in Di Francesco's squad. Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde: The Barca coach is glad to see Busquets and Messi back, and called the pair "fundemental" to his team. "The players are so good in their own position," Valverde said. "When they are not missing, each one at their level, Busquets and Messi are fundamental players for us." "[Messi] is a unique player in history and the world of football." However, despite the quality available to him, Valverde will not be underestimating Roma. "It's no surprise that Roma are in the last eight," he stated. "They are a great side and they are good in defence and in attack. It will not be easy" Roma boss Eusebio Di Francesco: On the flipside, the visting coach stated his respect for Barcelona, but urged his players to achieve an upset. "We come here with the desire to do something extraordinary, but equally with great respect for our opponents - perhaps the best side in the world. We want to continue to dream." "We will play with humility and respect, but above all with the desire to continue our journey in the Champions League."

Nigeria has moved forward under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, in spite of the huge challenges it inherited, Amb. Samson Itegboje, Permanent Representative to the UN, said. Itegboje made thos known during a Town Hall forum organised by the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, DC and the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) U.S. The theme of the forum is “The strength and voice of the Nigerian Diaspora’’. The Envoys, however, said that the Buhari’s administration had been shy in publicising some of its achievements for the citizens to be properly informed. “We are witnesses to the fact that prior to the coming of the government of President Buhari, the economy was almost grinding to a halt. “In fact, President Muhamadu inherited a recessed economy waiting to happen. “Boko Haram was running riots in the country and has even held sway in 14 local governments in Borno. “Corruption had almost become normal and our infrastructure had decayed among others. “But this government went to work and I must confess that the government appears to be publicity shy,’’ Itegboje said. He reeled out some of the successes achieved so far in less than three years of the current administration, saying they are subject to verification. “It takes three years for a country to exit recession but it took this government less than one years and a half to exit recession. “Foreign reserves have peaked at about 43 billion dollars, the highest level in about four years and up from 24 billion dollars just a year ago.’’ He said the implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) had stopped the haemorrhaging of the Treasury, adding that N108 billion had been saved from the removal of maintenance fees payable to banks pre-TSA. “Nigeria raised 24 places on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Ranking and earned a place on the list of 10 top performers in the world. “According to third quarter 2017 figure, agriculture export is up year-on-year by 25 per cent while solid minerals export is up year-on-year by 78 per cent. “Raw materials export is up 70 per cent year-on-year and manufactured goods export is up 22 per cent year-on-year while our non-crude oil earning amount to 40 per cent in foreign reserves,’’ the Envoy said. According to him, government agencies like the Nigeria Customs Service and Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) were reporting highest ever revenue collection. He recalled that JAMB recently remitted N7.8 billion naira compared to a paltry N51 million between 2010 and 2016. “Six million rice farmers in 2015 have grown to over 12 million farmers, leading to a reduction in rice importation from Thailand.

Dele Alli marked his 100th Premier League appearance by scoring a brace to help Tottenham to a 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. The game looked like being key in deciding which team would claim the fourth and final Champions League place and it was Spurs who claimed the spoils. As is natural in a game of such magnitude, it started slowly, with neither side wanting to overcommit in the opening exchanges. Alli got his bearings all wrong when he rose to meet Christian Eriksen's cross from the left, whilst Marcos Alonso saw a beautiful volleyed effort chalked off for offside as he met N'Golo Kante's cross from deep with 19 minutes gone. Willian has been in imperious form of late and his strike from range almost escaped Hugo Lloris' grasp, only for the Frenchman to claim it at the second attempt. Tottenham goalkeeper wasn't so lucky as the game reached the half-hour mark though as he gifted the hosts the lead. Victor Moses crossed from the right and Lloris came to claim, only to get nowhere near the ball, giving Alvaro Morata the simple task of rising to head into the unguarded net.
