But the Portuguese star wasn’t the only reason Real Madrid appear set for the final after a 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Ronaldo hat-trick sees him match Messi’s CL record Madrid’s clean sheet ended a run of 11 straight Champions League matches in which they’ve conceded, dating back to last season’s semi-final against Manchester City. Zinedine Zidane’s side posted clean sheets in both legs of that tie, en route to a 1-0 aggregate win and a final date with Atletico that saw them win their 11th Champions League title....
Ronaldo used the interview to break his silence about his situation at Manchester United and it led to the club terminating his contract. He is now officially a free agent in search of a new club. The 37-year-old had previously been eager to leave Old Trafford over the summer, but was unable to secure an exit and he struggled to form a good relationship with United’s new manager Erik ten Hag....
His age also unfortunately means that the 2018 World Cup will likely be the last appearance at the international tournament in his prime athletic years. While he’s found success at the international level, Portugal won the 2016 Euros, the World Cup’s golden trophy is one of the biggest absences in his cabinet. All eyes will be on the world’s most famous player as he tries to capture it for likely the final time....
’Messi ahead of great Ronaldo’ The Portuguese superstar opened the scoring after 10 minutes with his 367th league goal to take him past former England international Jimmy Greaves. Ronaldo collected a pass from Isco on the edge of the area before rifling a left-footed shot inside the post to set another personal landmark. At the weekend, Ronaldo’s first goal against Sevilla took him to 400 goals for Madrid and his second in that game drew him level with Greaves on the all-time list for league goals....
Roberto Martinez’s side laboured to a 1-0 win in their tournament opener against Canada before being overwhelmed in a 2-0 defeat to Morocco.

The court-appointed Persily after members of the state legislature’s Reapportionment Commission couldn’t agree on how to redraw the districts in accordance with population changes. Four Republican members of the commission filed the motion on December 24 asking the court to reverse its decision to appoint Persily. Instead, they asked that two special masters—one Republican and one Democrat—be appointed. They argued having one from each party would “preserve the public’s confidence in the fairness of the redistricting process....
The Brazilian playmaker has seen transfer talk which was first sparked over the summer rumble on through to the January window. A big-money move is still being mooted, with Barca keen to add further creative qualities to their star-studded ranks.

By a vote of 16 to 3, the FDA advisory committee rejected the request to add a third dose for the general public, saying they still need more data for approval. “It’s unclear that everyone needs to be boosted, other than a subset of the population that clearly would be at high risk for serious disease,” Dr. Michael G. Kurilla, a committee member and official at the National Institutes of Health, said on Friday....

They are one of only two NFL teams that project to be over the 2017 salary cap. With a large number of free agents, the Cowboys will have to make a number of difficult decisions to start 2017. Here’s an overview of their salary cap obstacles....
South Garland High School recently found out that the venue they booked their prom at had gone out of business unexpectedly. With just five weeks until the big night, the school had nowhere to turn to and was considering not having the event at all. But that's when the special events coordinator at AT&T Stadium heard about their struggle, including the $15,000 the students had raised for prom, and decided to cover the difference to rent out the stadium for prom night....
So, there’s a bit of understanding there. There is also this positive: The Cowboys are second in turnover margin (+12). But no matter how outsiders view the unit — as a beleaguered group fighting to hang on, or an under-performing group lacking depth and positive results — the only opinion that matters is that of owner Jerry Jones. For his part, he’s sticking by defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin and line coach Rod Marinelli....
According to NFL Media, the Cowboys running back is dealing with an oblique injury similar to the one that briefly kept him out of training camp this summer.
