Madrid’s worst nightmares were realized when they ended the season with pretty much nothing and a change of management three times. Former Spain coach Julen Lopetegui was short-lived in his tenure, as was the homegrown Santiago Solari. They both failed in their quest to make the team as successful as Zinedine Zidane did. Eventually, the Frenchman returned, but only to see a shapeless Madrid side losing to every opponent they once would have thought impossible to lose to....

But while Sporting director Eric Abidal and his team have been pulling the strings in order to get Rabiot’s signature, there has been a section among Barcelona fans and football journalists who believe that a deal for the 23-year-old doesn’t make much sense due to a couple of reasons, ranging from disciplinary concerns to his choice of agent and temperament. However, regardless of all these claims, Rabiot would still be a great signing for the Catalan giants....

There are other materials used to make condoms, but not all are effective for both pregnancy and STD prevention. That is to say, not all condoms are created equal. Read the list of ingredients carefully before choosing your condom. You want to be sure it’s made of the right stuff for what you need. Lambskin Condoms: Pros and Cons So-called lambskin condoms have fallen out of favor somewhat in recent years....

The Charlotte Hornets weren’t able to do so at STAPLES Center, with a brutal 27-4 game closing run for the LA Clippers sinking the Hornets to a disappointing loss. Arguably the league’s most entertaining League Pass squad, the Hornets now drop to 5-6 on the season as they navigate a five-game West Coast trip that has gotten off to an 0-3 start. Up next is the Los Angeles Lakers, before the trip concludes with a visit to Memphis....

Published to Reddit’s r/AmITheA**hole forum, a property manager under the anonymous username u/landlordthrowawayx shared their story to receive feedback from the “AITA” community. The viral post has over 1,000 upvotes and 2,000 comments. The original poster (OP) began their story by explaining that their best friend from high school has been renting out one of the houses they own for seven years. However, the OP’s sister recently graduated college and didn’t want to live at home so the landlord told their friend and his roommates that they needed to move out as soon as possible so she could move in....

Rajapaksa was named by the president as prime minister in October following the shock sacking of Ranil Wickremesinghe. After several weeks of political wrangling in which Wickremesinghe refused to stand down, Rajapaksa was voted out in a no-confidence action. Dilshan, 42, took membership in Rajapaksa’s newly-formed Sri Lanka People’s Front (SLPP) on the same day the national parliament defeated the former president in a landmark vote. There was no immediate comment from Dilshan – who quit international cricket in 2016 – but the party posted a photo of him obtaining his membership from a senior politician....

During a Saturday night appearance on Fox News’s Justice with Judge Jeanine, Lara Trump said: “Look, he is the head of the Republican Party,” referring to the former president. “He is really the person that everyone will continue to turn to in order to help them get across the line.” “Whether we’re talking about 2022 or beyond, I think this man has changed politics and he has changed our party, the Republican Party,” she added....

On Thursday morning, the sinkhole formed on McDonald Commons in the city of Madeira, Ohio, after the drain pipe failed amid heavy flooding, according to a Facebook post by City Council member Brian Mueller. “Heavy rain overnight caused flooding throughout town including the central business district. Unfortunately, a drain pipe at McDonald Commons failed, causing a 20’ x 40’ sinkhole near baseball field B,” Mueller said in the post....

“It hurts to lose like this in this fashion,” Fitzgerald told reporters as he fought back tears after the game. “I love my teammates. They fought all year through adversity through ups and downs. We’re proud to be here, but obviously we didn’t want it to end this way.” MORE: Best photos from NFC title bout | Arians: ‘Palmer didn’t lose the damn game’ Coming off a spectacular 176 receiving yards and a game-winning touchdown against the Packers, Fitzgerald was not the usual dominant, sure-handed WR many are used to seeing....

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Helsingborg manager Henrik Larsson and his striker son Jordan were attacked by fans after the Swedish club were relegated from the top flight on Sunday having conceded two late goals to lose a two-legged playoff against Halmstad. Jordan looked to have fired Helsingborg to safety when he scored in the 83rd minute but a Marcus Mathisen double in the last three minutes gave the second-tier side a 3-2 aggregate victory and saw Helsingborg drop out of the Allsvenskan....

However, considering that James is averaging an impressive 30.2 points per game this year, he could beat the record in three games if he proceeds at the same pace. Multiple sources have predicted James to become the all-time scoring leader on February 8 against the OKC Thunder. Because of that possibility, the ticket price for that game is set to cost as much as $75,000. As ridiculous as that sounds, it’s also very understandable, as fans will soon witness a historic milestone in that game....

That 2-1 win allowed Barcelona to open up a four-point lead over Real at the top of the table. Luis Enrique’s side will defend that lead away against Celta Vigo in their contest on Sunday night, reports Xinhua. The game will mean a return to the ground where Enrique coached last season. He also sees Barcelona face a side that produced one of the surprises of the season when they won at the Camp Nou earlier in the campaign....

A recent report has suggested that the Argentine and the club will hold contract talks after their game with rivals, Real Madrid and it is expected that the Catalans are offering Messi ‘a contract for life’. Lionel Messi has been the catalyst of Barcelona’s success over the years and the club are looking to tie him down on a long contract to put an end to all the rumours. His current contract runs out in the summer of 2018 and there were also a lot of talks ongoing that the 29-year-old will leave Nou Camp on a Bosman transfer....

Spain’s top scorer is a trophy that’s highly coveted – the last few years have been exchanged between two of the greatest footballers of our generation (any generation, for that matter) like it’s a toy in a kid store… each of them have won it twice. All was fun and frolic till Luis Suarez decided to announce himself to Spain last year – smashing in 35 goals at 1.1. goals per game....

Meanwhile, Gareth Bale – on the verge of being sold in the summer – was the star man for Real Madrid. The Los Blancos decimated Celta Vigo in their opening game at the Bernabeu, even without their new signings making any impact. A few miles away, Joao Felix, the new kid in town, lit up the Wanda Metropolitano as Atletico Madrid started their season with a win as well, beating a resilient Getafe who had finished fifth last season....

In case you didn’t know…. Barcelona registered a routine 2-0 win over Getafe on Sunday at Camp Nou after their debacle against Liverpool in the Champions League. Messi and co. looked pale as the wounds from the defeat against the Reds were still deep. Barcelona have already secured their eight La Liga crown in the last 11 years and broke several records in the process. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will surely not want to remember a single moment of this campaign....

The text reads: “When he’s a 10 but he brings a stick home after every walk.” One user commented: “Do you think he would notice, or care, or get depressed somehow if you got rid of the sticks?” The OP replied: “We do clear them up and move them into the garage to dry out. He doesn’t care, he just goes and gets more haha :).” While not all dogs excel at fetch, most will chew on a stick given half a chance, but why the obsession?...

The clip shared by a TikTok account named @billie_and_gus shows two Labrador retrievers (Billie and Gus) hugging each other on the floor, with their noses touching at one point. The video was overlaid with a message that read: “Having a best friend to take naps with.” A caption was posted with the footage: “They have the cutest bond.” A March 2019 study published in Scientific Reports looked at how different partners could help canines cope with a stressful situation....

The Mexico international joins from Real Sociedad of Spain’s La Liga, where he will remain through 2018. “It is very special for me to be the first Designated Player in LAFC history,” Vela said on the club’s website. “I’m honored to be here and to begin my new adventure playing for the people of Los Angeles.” A constant threat as an attacking player, Vela brings with him experience at the top level of play both in Europe and on the international stage....

Following one season in Minnesota, Beverley was included in the blockbuster deal that helped the Timberwolves land three-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert from the Jazz. Beverley’s time in Utah could be short-lived, however, as Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer reports he appears to be a “strong trade candidate.” Two teams in particular interested in acquiring the veteran? The Lakers and Heat, according to Fischer. Beverley started in 54 of the 58 games he appeared in with the Timberwolves, averaging 9....
