Portugal star admits to trying to convince Cristiano Ronaldo to join his club

Cristiano Ronaldo put a firm end to any speculation that surrounded his future at Real Madrid by signing a huge new deal to stay at the club until 2021 last November.

The 31-year-old is believed to be earning an eye-watering wage in the region of £400,000-per-week after tax.

But that hasn't stopped some people from trying to convince the forward to their club in the near future.

Ronaldo further cemented his name in Portuguese history by guiding the national team to success at last year's European Championships, even though he wasn't technically on the pitch when Eder scored the winner in extra-time of the final.

What Zlatan Ibrahimovic told Anthony Martial during their recent ‘pep talk’

Anthony Martial hasn’t exactly hit it off with Jose Mourinho since the Manchester United boss replaced Louis van Gaal in the summer.

The French forward, who joined United in a shock £36 million move from AS Monaco at the end of the 2015 summer transfer window, failed to make a positive first impression with his performances and has found himself in and out of the team ever since.

Martial’s agent, Philippe Lamboley, then angered Mourinho by linking his client with a potential move to Sevilla, but the 21-year-old appeared to have turned a corner when he started and scored against Middlesbrough on New Year’s Eve.

105-Year-old Cyclist Sets New World Record for Speed

105-year-old Robert Marchand has set a new world record for fastest cycling time at a track near Paris.

On Wednesday, the French cyclist pedaled 14.08 miles in one hour – which is apparently 2.65 miles shorter than the previous record he set in 2014 for participants over the age 100. The impressive feat is now the most distance pedaled in an hour by someone 105-years-old or older. Robert claims that he could have gotten a better time if he hadn’t missed the 10-minute warning sign near the end of his attempt.

The stats that show how badly Liverpool need Sadio Mane

 

It's not unfair to say that Liverpool have hit a bit of a slump. With defeat to Southampton in the EFL Cup during the week, it marked a miserable period for the Reds, whose season now looks to be in danger of unravelling.

But it is perhaps no coincidence that this downturn in form started when they lost influential forward Sadio Mane to national duty with Senegal for the African Cup of Nations.

The club's pre-Christmas run of form now seems like a lifetime away, and Jurgen Klopp is now starting to realise just how important his summer signing has been to his plans.

It's been something that was on the cards for a while, as his last game before making way to Gabon saw him cancel out a goal that should have been the winner against Sunderland by giving away a last minute penalty for the Black Cats to equalise.

Women's final preview: One for the ages

There has arguably never been as much at stake as there is in Saturday's women's final between the Williams sisters.

By Vivienne Christie | 27 January, 2017

If ever there was a Grand Slam final for the ages, it’s this one. Featuring Venus Williams, at age 36, and her 35-year-old sister Serena, it’s the most senior Grand Slam final in WTA history.

But this is a showdown for the ages in far more than the literal sense. There has arguably never been as much at stake on the final Saturday of a major event.

Cristiano Ronaldo produced embarrassing dive against Celta Vigo

Cristiano Ronaldo’s stunning free-kick wasn’t enough to prevent Real Madrid from crashing out of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.

Faced with a 2-1 deficit from the first leg of their quarter-final tie against Celta Vigo, Los Blancos could only manage a 2-2 draw.

Having made such a hot start to the season, Madrid are currently experiencing something of a rocky patch. They’ve won just one of their past five matches in all competitions - it very much feels as if Zinedine Zidane’s extended honeymoon period is over.

Yet the Frenchman isn’t overly concerned about his team’s form.

‘We don’t have to close airport,’ Julius Berger tells Senate

 

The Federal Government plans to shut down the Abuja airport for six weeks to enable it repair the runway.

The Managing Director of Julius Berger, Wolfgang Goetsch has said that the Abuja airport doesn’t need to be closed for repairs.

The Federal Government plans to shut down the airport for six weeks to enable it repair the runway.

Goetsch made the revelation on Tuesday, January 17, while appearing before the Senate.

“It can be shut down in the night. The spot can be repaired in the morning and temporarily given back for usage. But the state of the runway in Abuja, extent of damage and deterioration. The whole runway from one end to the other end is damaged,” he said.

“This means that if the method of spot repair is loose, you start from one side of the runway, lock it in the night and in the morning to open it up for traffic. There is absolutely no option than to close the runway for these six weeks because it is not a repair work. It is a new construction of the whole surface of the building.

Cristiano Ronaldo frustrated by his fiercest opponent yet - the woodwork!

 

Two chances that cannoned off the post on Wednesday took the unfortunate forward up to seven for the season, more than any other player

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is a match for any defender in the world, but it is a more static opponent that has most frustrated him so far in the 2016-17 season.

Ronaldo brought his side back within a whisker of extra time on Wednesday in a Copa del Rey tie eventually won by Celta, who prevailed 4-3 on aggregate following a 2-2 draw in Galicia.

Throw Back Ronaldo's Shocker vs Malaga

To be fair to the Portuguese superstar, you can understand why Ronaldo is suffering this January after an epic 2016 where he won the Champions League and Euro 2016 as well as cleaned up on all the individual awards going.

This calendar year started a bit better for Ronaldo, who scored in games against Granada and Sevilla.

But after a seriously poor performance against Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey, Ronaldo followed this up with a shocker against Malaga.

Spanish TV programme El Dia Despues have rounded up Ronaldo’s shocker in their weekly videos and it is surprising just how bad the Portuguese superstar was against Malaga in the 2-1 win.

Ronaldo will now undergo fitness tests today to see whether he can play against Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night.
