MORE: The problem with pro/rel debate | The making of Messi Ronaldo could win the prestigious individual award for a third time after lifting the trophy in 2008 and 2013. The 29-year-old played a key role in Real Madrid’s successful Champions League campaign last season, scoring 17 goals to set a new record for most goals scored in the competition in one season. Barcelona star Messi, meanwhile, is in contention to scoop the accolade for a record fifth time, and has hit top form in recent weeks to add weight to his case....

Ronaldo only rejoined United training the week before 2022/23 began after sitting out the start of preseason, including a tour of matches in Australia and Thailand for “family reasons.” In the interim, several reports emerged of Ronaldo’s agent unsuccessfully engaging clubs around Europe in discussions about a transfer. New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been steadfast that he plans on integrating the 37-year-old Ronaldo into his new playing system despite the controversy surrounding the star’s role in the team’s worst Premier League season in club history....

In case you didn’t know Aveira has always vocalised her support for Ronaldo as she watched him evolve from a Sporting Lisbon youth player to a legend in the game. The Portuguese talisman rose to super-stardom at Manchester United where he thrived under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson. The former Sporting forward attracted the interest of Spanish giants Real Madrid who promptly offered him a deal he could not resist....

It’s reported that there has been ‘high tension’ between the two in light of recent developments in Ronaldo’s career. The 37-year-old acrimoniously left Manchester United in November and waited for offers from European clubs for more than a month. With no UEFA Champions League team showing interest in his services, Ronaldo ended up joining Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr, where he was unveiled on Tuesday (January 3). In recent months, cracks have appeared to develop between Ronaldo and his agent....

The monks in Phuket, Thailand, expressed concerns about the crocodile potentially attacking people who feed turtles in the pond, according to The Phuket Express. The Phuket Fisheries Office on Friday removed the large reptile from the pond before it was able to hurt anyone, The Thaiger reported. It is not uncommon for crocodiles to show up in strange places across Thailand. Last month, a crocodile was found in a small pond in a wooded area on Charoen Krung soi 107 in Bangkok, according to The Thaiger....

The tragic incident took place on Sunday evening in the south of the country, near the town of Balabac, which is surrounded by three dozen islands and where a diminishing habitat has led to a number of confrontations between the reptiles and humans. The boy’s two siblings managed to flee. The victim’s body parts were found two days later by a fisherman in a mangrove swamp nearly 60 miles away....

They swept the Rangers and are inching closer to the Athletics in the always-competitive and always-underappreciated AL West. That’s not the news. Easy analysis is Mike Trout, Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols are all back in the lineup. Those three have only been in the lineup together for 26 games this season. It’s more about the side effects those three create for players such as C.J. Cron and Kole Calhoun....

While many women remove body hair, it’s an individual choice, and some operate a seasonal regime and forgo hair removal during the colder months. It seems one woman decided to embrace her “winter coat” over the holidays, and sent her boyfriend a snap of her au naturel legs. Huh shared a clip to her TikTok account, @bonedrymilkers, showing the fuzzy photo she texted. She captioned the snap: “Sending my bf a pic of my hairy legs....

Walsh, who is here to support the academy and participate in the inaugural Junior Murray celebrity cricket match, said he will always make himself available to support the sport in the region. Walsh will join Murray, former West Indies leg spinner Rawl Lewis, and Thomas Kentish, the former Dominica and Windward Islands off spinner, in the Junior Murray team to play against the Prime Minister’s XI in a Twenty20 match on Sunday....

There has been debate over whether Kevin Trapp or Alphonse Areola should be between the sticks for the Ligue 1 leaders, particularly after a blunder from the latter in Metz last week should have cost his side a goal. BTTS v Lyon 4/6 Despite an assured performance from the former France Under-21 keeper in the 5-0 win at Celtic Park on Tuesday, it is an issue that is liable to rumble on, with Courtois, 25, one of the names touted as a potential replacement....

In the past four days, China has reported 119 new virus cases among people involved in the games, including 37 people who tested positive on Sunday and 34 on Saturday, according to Olympics organizers.

All vaccine data below presents the latest numbers reported as of Monday 9 a.m. local time, according to the CDC.

Cowboy Bebop was released in 1998, one of the biggest crossover hits which brought anime to the west in force. The series blends elements of sci-fi, western, noir and martial arts with a signature jazzy style that creates something that has never been, and probably will never be recaptured.

Both Dallas and Baltimore outplayed their respective opponents to win by a combined score of 61-7 on Sunday – the Cowboys defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars 40-7 and the Ravens shutting out the Tennessee Titans 21-0. The Cowboys – who reached .500 with the win – used the arm of quarterback Dak Prescott and eight different receivers to spread out the struggling Jaguars’ defense. Dallas shut out Jacksonville in the first half and followed with scores on four of their last five possessions to pull away....

Romo has been the face of Dallas for about a decade now, but perhaps it’s time for a change. Prescott has a lot of promise, and quotes from Cowboys Executive Vice President Stephen Jones to MMQB indicate just how much the team likes him. The Cowboys tried desperately to move up in the first round to select Paxton Lynch (who went to Denver), but ultimately couldn’t. Now? They wouldn’t even trade Prescott for Lynch straight up....

The Coyotes moved up from 20 to 16 to select Chychrun, a 6-2, 200-pound defenseman who is the son of former NHL player Jeff Chychrun. To move up four spots, the Coyotes sent the 20th pick, originally owned by the Rangers, and the 53rd pick, along with forward Joe Vitale. MORE: Sights from the NHL Draft | Leafs take Auston Matthews No. 1 The Red Wings also sent Pavel Datsyuk’s contract to the Coyotes, who will have to eat the $7 million remaining on Datsyuk’s contract and include that amount in their 2016-17 salary cap....

The Tallawahs have begun their campaign in style by winning all three of their matches so far and sit pretty on the top of the points table. Their latest victory was a comprehensive 47-run out of St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots with the protagonists being Ross Taylor who scored an unbeaten half-century and Krishmar Santokie who bowled a sensational spell of 2/13 in his 4 overs. The biggest plus for Tallawahs this season has been different people contributing in every match and if the trend continues, oppositions will find the going very difficult against them....

The target proved to be more than enough as Guyana crumbled in the powerplay, being reduced to 15/4. Such was the blow that they could never really recover thereafter. The Warriors were eventually bowled out for a paltry 98. Jeavor Royal, Obed McCoy and Kesrick Williams led the charge with the ball for the Kings in the CPL match. Saint Lucia have moved up from the bottom to take fifth spot in the CPL....

Once you boot up Perfect Dark you won’t have to do something ridiculously hard in order to unlock Agent 4, because he’s just sitting there waiting to kick some ass. Not a bad deal if you ask anyone at Game Rant, but you shouldn’t think you’re that cool when you first step online to show off the new character in Perfect Dark because odds are half of the people in your first match will all be Agent 4 as well....

Critics and fans agreed. At the end of the film’s gala screening last week, the black-tie audience in the Palais des Festivals leapt to its feet and gave a rare 20-minute standing ovation. The reason the picture works so well, says its leading lady, Cecilia Roth, is because of Almodovar’s clear–if extreme –view of the world. “Pedro can watch everything without prejudice,” Roth explains. “And he can transmit that to you when you watch his movies on the screen....
