Not only under Enzo Maresca or the Clearlake Capital-Todd Boehly ownership, this is a club which surrendered its place as an elite club without much of a whimper. Their Premier League finishes in the past two seasons demonstrate this as well as anything. Chelsea have simply not been a force to be reckoned with in any sense of the phrase.They have not been consistent, they have not been able to challenge those at the top in one-off matches and come out with three points. They have found…
The legend of Lamine Yamal continues to grow on a near daily basis. The 17-year-old wunderkind made his 100th appearance for Barcelona on Wednesday during the club’s UEFA Champions League semifinal match against Inter Milan, and he was undoubtedly the best player on the pitch across the 90 minutes of action. Real Madrid aren’t present to spoil this season’s Champions League party, with the holders and 15-time winners failing to reach the semi-finals of the latest iteration.

They need to sit in shape, let PSG have the ball for a bit.” Rooney also took…

Pope Francis has died, the Vatican announced on Monday ,ending a groundbreaking pontificate that sought, however haltingly, to reshape the Roman Catholic Church into a more inclusive institution. His death will set off mourning around the world and deliberations and machinations to choose a successor. The absence of Francis, a humble champion of the poor, creates a vacuum in the leadership of more than one billion Catholics, and leaves cardinals with a critical decision: whether to choose a new pope who will follow his welcoming, global approach or to restore the more doctrinaire path of his predecessors. Pope Francis last appeared in…

A new study has claimed that Earth would experience a mass extinction in 250 million years, eradicating all mammals – even if fossil fuel emissions were to cease immediately. Researchers at the University of Bristol used computer simulations to predict that lifeforms would struggle to survive with extreme temperatures ranging from 40 to 70 degrees Celsius. According to DailyMail UK, carbon dioxide levels are expected to double, making it impossible for species, including humans, to regulate body heat through sweat. The study on Earth’s extinction, led by the university’s Dr Alexander Farnsworth, warned of a grim future where the planet…
