RB LEIPZIG boss Marco Rose compared Erling Haaland to the Norse God Thor last month. And for a team who have gone so close in this competition so many times over the years, his arrival must feel heaven sent. The big Norwegian’s special powers were on full display in this almighty performance. He was head and shoulders above the rest with a five-star showing on another record-breaking night for him. If Manchester City cannot win the Champions League with this guy in their team then maybe it just isn’t meant to be. He became only the third player in the history of the competition…

The duo also gazed romantically into each other’s eyes as Monique perched on a rock overlooking Fred. Fred, 28, and Monique went public with their relationship in January 2016, when…

LISANDRO MARTINEZ immediately caught the eye when he linked up with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. Not because the former Ajax defender cost £55million. But because Martinez, signed to play centre-back, stands at just 5ft 9in. Those who questioned the Argentine’s height watched gleefully as he was given the run-around in United’s defeats to Brighton and Brentford. Even Red Devils fans are calling for a change in plan, with many now urging Ten Hag to deploy Martinez as a holding midfielder. Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher echoed those feelings last night on Sky Sports, declaring: “Now, we should never judge managers or players too early, but…

Man Utd played with 10-men after Casemiro was sent off in their goaless draw against Southampton at the weekend. If dropping points wasn’t bad enough, Manchester United now need to play their next four domestic matches without the help of arguably their most important player. Casemiro’s reckless red card against Southampton was the headline of their weekend draw and left supporters with as much dread as the two dropped points. It was the type of game that United would likely have lost in years gone by, and there is a crumb of comfort to take from the fact they managed to hold on…

Wolf of Wall Street icon Margot Robbie looked sensational at the 2023 Academy Awards ceremony, appearing alongside Morgan Freeman in a plunging Armani Privé gown Margot Robbie left fans absolutely stunned as she dazzled in a plunging gown at the Oscars 2023. The Wolf of Wall Street star put her hourglass curves front and centre in a gown from Armani Privé, which featured an off-the-shoulder sweetheart neckline. Margot’s gown left her shoulders and cleavage bare to the air before falling to skim the floor, woven through with glittering gold strands. The hourglass-shaped gown, which hailed from Armani Privé, featured velvet pinstripes down the…

Mason Mount could leave Chelsea this summer with a move to Liverpool on the cards – but he’s been urged to snub them and fight for his spot at Stamford Bridge by a club legend Mason Mount has been urged to snub Liverpool and ‘stay at the club he loves’ by Chelsea legend Florent Malouda. Mount’s struggled to hold down a regular spot in Chelsea’s starting 11 this season, and it’s unlikely he’ll fare any better next term following the Blues’ £323million splurge on a swathe of new talent in January. The midfielder’s got a year left on his current deal…

JADON SANCHO and Phil Foden have history. When playing as teenagers for Manchester City, Sancho refused to shake hands with Foden as he was substituted – leaving a shocked Foden staring back at him in bewilderment. A video posted to Twitter shows a young Sancho, now 21, being replaced in a UEFA Youth League game against Atletico Madrid – with Foden, also now 21, coming on as a substitute. But instead of giving his team-mate the obligatory handshake, he snubbed his fellow Man City academy member. Foden looked stunned by the incident. Since then, both have gone from strength to strength. And this weekend they meet…

Ricky Bobby’s iconic North Carolina home is on the market for $9.9 million after selling nearly five years ago. The 12,000 square-foot home featured in the 2006 comedy Talladega Nights starring Will Ferrell is up for grabs in Cornelius, North Carolina. Several scenes were filmed inside the home, including the famous dinner scene of the film when Ferrell’s character recited the ‘Dear Lord, baby Jesus’ prayer. The three-story home overlooking Lake Norman has since been partially remodeled since it was last purchased in 2018 for $4 million. The five bedrooms and six bathrooms home have new features since it was last on the market,…

The Pentagon has asked Congress for a range of advanced missiles, modern jets, state-of-the-art defense systems and more money to guard against threats from China in its biggest peacetime budget in history. The $842 billion request includes $11billion for hypersonic weapons, $37.7 billion to modernize the nuclear arsenal and a huge investment in research and development to take on threats from adversaries including China and Russia. $6.2 billion has been requested for a Columbia ballistic missile submarine, $28.8 billion on missile defense systems, an investment in space warfare and cash to bolster defenses in Guam and Hawaii – as Beijing bulks up its military and threatens Taiwan. There’s…

DailyMail.com can share the first glimpse of Snailbrook, the Texas utopia that Elon Musk is creating for his SpaceX and Boring employees. The town is taking shape on the outskirts of Austin, where Musk is also building factories for SpaceX and Boring, after pulling out of California. Photos obtained by DailyMail.com show a completed sports court, and outdoor gym. There are small houses where staff from the companies will be able to live for $800-a-month – well below the soaring local market rates. It was revealed last week that top brass at Boring Co., Musk’s tunneling operation, had discussed how to incorporate their own town in Bastrop…

VIRGIL VAN DIJK’S confidence on the ball is part of the reason the Liverpool defender has risen to become one of the best in world football. But it is the Dutchman’s faith whenever teammate Mohamed Salah picks up possession that has gone viral after the Egyptian’s goal in the Reds’ 3-1 win over Newcastle. A double from Sadio Mane overturned Jetro Willems’ opener, before Salah struck to maintain Liverpool’s 100 per cent start to the season. But it was Van Dijk who was cheering the longest, with the 28-year-old continuing his habit of celebrating goals well before they actually go in. The defender raised his…

PEP Guardiola might be the driving force behind Manchester City but he could do with a few lessons behind the wheel. The Premier League boss, whose side is trailing league leaders Arsenal, has got through four cars since moving to the North West. Road hog Pep, 52, has damaged an £80,000 black Mercedes GLE, a £150,000 Range Rover, a £200,000 silver Bentley GTX700 and a £30,000 Mini Cooper. Authors Lu Martin and Pol Ballus wrote in the 2019 book Pep’s City: The Making Of A Superteam: “Today he’s behind the wheel of his black Mercedes. “He has a reputation from his Barcelona days…

KAI HAVERTZ has revealed his girlfriend has also been struggling during the Chelsea forward’s poor run of form. Heading into March, the German, 23, had bagged just six goals and one assist in all competitions this season. The German has spoken about the struggles for his partner Sophia WeberCredit: InstagramBut back-to-back goals against Borussia Dortmund and Leicester have coincided with an upturn in results for Graham Potter’s side. They have secured three victories in a row to alleviate pressure from the Stamford Bridge faithful. And Havertz has now taken the opportunity to speak out about the issues he has been going through in his personal life, namely…

ALEJANDRO GARNACHO has been spotted leaving Old Trafford on crutches. The youngster suffered an injury against Southampton and was taken off at the end of the game. Garnacho went down under a heavy tackle from Kyle Walker-Peters and immediately looked in pain. He received medical attention from the physios and initially played on. But he broke down minutes later and had to be taken off for Fred having only been brought on in the 73rd minute. The Argentine wore a protective boot as he left the ground with the assistance of crutches. It is a blow for Erik ten Hag who will…

FOR many years, Casemiro (£3.1m) had a Fernandinho-esque talent for avoiding red cards. Much like his compatriot, the five-time Champions League winner has always picked up more than his fair share of yellows through enforcing challenges but somehow stayed on the tightrope when it seemed for all the world he would be dismissed. Real Madrid fans became happily accustomed to the sight of the midfielder grinning apologetically as the referee gave him a warning instead of marching orders. However, that magical power seems to have deserted Casemiro in recent weeks. The 31-year-old saw red for the second time this season…

Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz may be working together again. The actresses memorably kissed in Woody Allen’s love triangle story Vicky Cristina Barcelona with Javier Bardem from 2008. Now Johansson – who was on SNL last week – and Cruz are in talks to work with Michael Fassbender and Owen Wilson in a Netflix film from director Nancy Meyers. The big-budget movie is currently titled Paris Paramount. It tells the story of an above-the-line filmmaking duo who begrudgingly reunite on set after falling in and out of love with one another. Meyers is directing from her own script and also serves as a producer on the film.…

She stars in one of the most anticipated blockbuster films in decades. And Scarlett Johansson took a break from her busy Marvel movie publicity tour to enjoy some dinner with celebrity restaurateur Bruce Bozzi, 51, on Thursday. The 34-year-old actress was in Los Angeles in advance of the Avengers: Endgame premiere on Monday. The 5ft3in Ghost World star was dressed casually for their dinner, with a floral print mini dress that highlighted her trim gams. She paired it with a black leather biker jacket and tall black heels. Her dirty blonde hair was held back in a short ponytail, and she wore…

MYKHAILO MUDRYK has a capital “F” tattooed on the side of his right hand and an “E” on the left. When he brings them together in prayer as a practising Christian, it forms the Portuguese word for “faith”. As the subject of an astonishing £88million transfer to Chelsea on the longest contract ever awarded in the Premier League, it seems most appropriate. Chelsea are placing a whole lot of faith in a pretty much unknown winger from war-ravaged Ukraine to deliver the goods over eight and a half years. Mudryk, 22, will be over 30 when the time comes to exercise his right to a Bosman…

Romelu Lukaku’s third goal in his last five games for Inter Milan launched him into an elite group of footballers with 50 goals in both Serie A and the Premier League, and yet the occasion did not feel like a time to rejoice. Inter were on their way to 2-1 defeat at lowly Spezia, on Friday, sliding further from runaway leaders Napoli, and with success this season now resting heavily upon Tuesday’s Champions League tie in Porto. They lead 1-0 from the first leg thanks to Lukaku’s late winner from the bench but his trio of recent goals, which include two penalties, does not disguise…

Marcus Rashford was roundly criticised for his ‘blatant dive,’ as Manchester United could only draw with bottom of the Premier League Southampton. It has mostly been an excellent season for Rashford, with some claims that he deserves to be in the conversation as the best in the world right now. On Thursday night his form continued against Real Betis, as he made it look like the ball had decided not to feed underprivileged children, considering he broke the net with it as he scored. It was his 26th goal of the campaign for United, also scoring three for England during the World Cup,…

Millions of people visit national parks every year, taking in the breathtaking beauty of the natural landscapes – but the great outdoors can also be deadly. From falls to drowning to attacks by wild animals – even murder – there were 721 deaths at 10 of America’s most popular national parks over the span of a decade. So which parks are the most deadly – and what’s the most common cause of death? Data from the National Park Service, which shows deaths that occurred from 2010 to 2020, reveal that the three deadliest parks are the Grand Canyon with 134 fatalities, Yosemite…

Lady Gaga gave a raw performance at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday night. The Poker Face hitmaker, 36, stripped off the stunning makeup she donned earlier on the Oscars red carpet and went for a bare-faced look. She also changed from her glamorous black Versace gown into a simple black t-shirt and ripped jeans. The signer gave an emotional rendition of her Oscar-nominated song Hold My Hand from the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack. Before flexing her vocals the star gave a short introduction, telling the audience of the song: ‘It’s deeply personal for me and I think that we all need each other, we need a lot of…

The 1.87-meter-tall power forward for La Celeste is as fierce as he seems! The word “Family,” which is masterfully embroidered on Nez’s chest and acts as the main point, is among the many tattoos he has on his body. Other tattoos include flower patterns and pictures of historical figures from mythology or religion on Nez’s left arm and right shin. Given that the Uruguayan striker has dominated the spotlight since joining the Reds from Benfica, Darwin Nunez of Liverpool looks to be dating news articles. The 23-year-old is preparing for his first campaign with the Liverpool squad and has already…

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah’s villa has reportedly been ransacked by burglars who stripped it of electrical goods and valuables. The break-in at the £350,000-a-week winger’s home in Cairo, Egypt, was reported by Egyptian daily newspaper. It was claimed that the burglary was not noticed until 30-year-old Salah’s nephew passed the villa and spotted an open window, according to The Sun. The family member contacted the police and went inside to discover items strewn around the floor of the burgled property. It has not been confirmed what belongings were stolen, but Egyptian media said ‘electrical’ items and ‘devices’ were taken. Father-of-two Salah is an icon…
