Bar a miracle in Munich, with CSKA needing a big win against Bayern, City need all three points to leapfrog Roma into second position in Group E. A Sergio Aguero masterclass at the end of November saw Manuel Pellegrini’s side run out 3-2 winners against Bayern Munich. With the Bavarians leading with five minutes to go, the Argentine completed his hat-trick with two strikes in the final moments. However, despite his heroics, an injury sustained at the weekend means Aguero will miss this crucial clash....

That’s if, of course, it is ever completed. Each time a relic is found, work stops to study the object’s historical significance. And while many of these finds might be museum-worthy, some will be reburied or even destroyed for the sake of the progress. “Navigating Rome’s ruins is like a slalom course,” says Rome’s superintendent of archeology Angelo Bottini. “It is impossible that there will not be situations of conflict....

Perlman will voice Optimus Primal, which will be the second time he’s lent his voice to the character. He first voiced Optimus Primal in the 2018 TV mini-series Transformers: Power of the Primes.

The Blancos find themselves in an unfortunate position which sees European glory providing the only path to major silverware this season. A humbling domestic campaign has seen the defending La Liga champions slip 19 points off the pace in the 2017-18 title race, while also exiting the Copa del Rey at the hands of giant-killing Leganes. Another continental crown does, however, remain up for grabs and Ancelotti believes that a forgettable season for Real and star turns such as Ronaldo can be salvaged by securing a fourth success in the space of five dominant years....

Records continue to tumble around the Portuguese as the bar of individual excellence is raised in each passing campaign. Ronaldo was not among the goals in his most recent outing, but he still made a telling contribution in a 1-0 victory for the Serie A champions. It was his cross that allowed Mario Mandzukic to record the only effort of the game, with a narrow success enough to carry Juve into the last 16....

The biggest news on the campaign trail today is not the smackdown between Bill Clinton and Barack Obama or the almost too close to call Florida GOP primary. This morning came word that John McCain has gotten the endorsement of Sylvester Stallone. That’s right: Rambo digs the Straight Talk. “I like McCain a lot. A lot,” the actor told Fox News. “You know, things may change along the way, but there’s something about matching the character with the script....

Rodgers fired a three-under 68 in his third round to remain atop the leaderboard at the PGA Tour event. The American, looking for his first Tour win, mixed five birdies with two bogeys to sit at 16 under, as two of his countrymen surged into a tie for second. Berger carded a brilliant eight-under 63 to move into 14 under, and he is joined by Stallings (64). Stallings was one under through nine holes in his third round, but produced four birdies and an eagle – at the par-five 17th....

Of course, one has to understand that Oltmans is sixty plus – 62 to be precise – so a long time away from home and family can be difficult. But, the celebrated former Dutch coach put all doubts to rest. “Let me assure that I’m not going anywhere. I don’t know who said I’m having a rethink but I never said anything of that sort. I will be with Indian Hockey at least till the 2016 Rio Olympics....

Federer has been on the sidelines ever since hurting his already-injured knee at Wimbledon. The 40-year-old, who underwent two surgeries on his right knee in 2020, announced last month that he was bringing an end to his 2021 season because a third procedure on his knee was required. A few days ago it was reported in the Swiss media that Roger Federer has undergone surgery already. And during a recent conversation at a sponsorship meeting in Zurich, Federer claimed that he has gotten past the most difficult part....

During his innings of 57, Rohit became just the second player for India to reach 2,000 ODI runs against Australia, a feat only previously achieved by the great Tendulkar.

The first-wicket pair put on 127 and even when Rohit departed, caught behind by wicketkeeper Alex Carey off Nathan Coulter-Nile’s bowling, Virat Kohli came out to build on the foundations laid by his two top-order colleagues....
