The blockbuster, made in association with Gerard Pique’s production company and premiered to millions last year, saw Griezmann oh-so-dramatically agonise over his future before confirming he would be rejecting Barcelona to stay at Atletico. As LaLiga’s top two prepare to meet at Camp Nou on Saturday, Griezmann would hope to be getting ready for a decisive fixture, a chance to vindicate his choice and fire Atleti towards a first league triumph since 2013-14....

It is worth noting that Messi signed a two-year contract with PSG when he joined them from Barcelona last year. The deal included the option of a one-year extension, but it is reliant on whether the player wants to continue at the Parc des Princes or not. Should he decide to return to Camp Nou, it means he’ll be returning as a free agent and Barca won’t need to pay the Parisians any sum for his transfer....

Referee Kevin Stroud decided Barnsley’s regular kit was too similar to Crystal Palace, so Barnsley were forced to don Palace’s away kit. Barnsley’s player name sand numbers were put on this new kit in time for the kick-off. The match ended 0-0 which effectively ruled out Crystal Palace’s chances of getting a direct promotion spot. They will now have to content with the play-offs. Here is the official twitter account of Crystal Palace confirming the rather comical event:...

Last Friday Barr announced Berman, who had been U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, was stepping down, before Berman subsequently said in a statement he had no intention of doing so. The following day, Barr said due to Berman’s refusal to resign he had asked President Donald Trump to fire him, adding he had obliged this request. He added that Berman, who subsequently accepted this move and said he was leaving his role immediately, would be replaced by his deputy Audrey Strauss on an interim basis ahead of a permanent successor being chosen....

Barr is to be given the Christifideles Laici Award, which was created in 2019—making him only its second recipient. According the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast website, the award reads: “In Honor and Gratitude for Fidelity to the Church, Exemplary Selfless and Steadfast Service in the Lord’s Vineyard.” The move has been criticized by some figures among the Catholic community, with the Association of U.S. Catholic Priests calling for the decision to be reversed....

At Osasuna’s Estadio Reyno de Navarra, home supporters behind Betis’ goal went up in a frenzy after Osasuna scored the first goal and began to pile towards the fence. The fence however soon gave away under the pressure of thousands of delirious fans, causing people to fall onto the pitch. — IAN PAUL JOY (@JOYPAULIAN) May 18, 2014 A total 68 people have been reported injured with a few now under critical care....

This isn’t a case of riding off into retirement after reaching the pinnacle of his profession. Trotz was in line to earn well below market value for championship-winning coaches under his contract in D.C. When the Capitals declined to amend those terms, Trotz decided to step down in pursuit of a deal more commensurate to his worth. In the last 40 years, only three other NHL coaches left their post immediately after a Stanley Cup victory: Scotty Bowman, twice (1979, 2002); Bob Johnson (1991); and Mike Keenan (1994)....

The Twitter account, @BFFsPod, representing the weekly podcast hosted by Portnoy and TikTok star, Josh Richards, called BFFs with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards tweeted out a screencap of Portnoy’s account, @stoolpresedente with the message “Account suspended,” and the further comment that Twitter suspends accounts that violate the Twitter Rules.

Three explosions occurred while the BVB bus was making its way to Signal Iduna Park for their Champions League quarter-final, first-leg tie against Monaco, with the match eventually postponed to Wednesday. Pep backs Kompany for crucial run Bartra required surgery on his right wrist, but stands a chance of returning before the end of the season.

The world number one was made to work hard for her 7-6 (8-6) 3-6 6-3 victory, which set up a last-four clash with reigning champion Aryna Sabalenka. Fellow seed Petra Kvitova enjoyed more serene progress in her straight-sets win over Dayana Yastremska. But there was a shock in store for the third-ranked Elina Svitolina, who lost to Alison Riske in a surprisingly one-sided encounter. BARTY BATTLES THROUGH French Open champion Barty showed her grit to secure a semi-final spot at this tournament once again....

Just. Stop. This, folks, is a horrible idea. The powers-that-be of Minor League Baseball announced Wednesday that, as part of new pace-of-play regulations for 2018 in partnership with MLB, all extra innings will start with a runner on second base. No, really. This isn’t the first time baseball has had this horrible idea. That’s how it played the game in the most recent World Baseball Classic. It was bad then, and it’s bad now....

The defending champions have four points after a win and a draw, while Ethiopia have three points after getting maximum points in their opening match. Head coach Moses Basena expects a tough encounter, but at the same time he is optimistic his team will do better. “This is like a final, we want to finish top of the group and Ethiopia are eyeing the same, and progression from the group....

Del Potro was the beneficiary of Fabio Fognini’s withdrawal from the day’s first semi-final due to an ankle injury, before Basilashvili overcame fifth seed Edmund 7-6 (8-6) 6-4. The win sees the world number 34 into his second ATP 500 final of 2018, after his triumph at the German Tennis Championships in July. Edmund, yet to reach a final at the 500 level, saw three set points come and go towards the end of the opener and the world number 16 was left further frustrated in letting slip a 4-1 lead in the breaker....

What can fans expect from “Realm of Shadows?” Unlike previous Telltale game releases, the company has remained completely quiet on plot teasers. Beyond the now released world premiere trailer, very little is known about the direction of game’s first season. Based on the trailer though, it can be assumed that Harvey Dent’s transformation into Two-Face will be a major storyline. But before that, Batman will face off against mobster Falcone....

While not entirely unexpected given that Warner Bros. is the publisher on Shadow of Mordor, this latest Easter Egg is still quite clever. After completing a specific objective in the game, players are then treated to a short screen that makes reference to none other than Batman. In order to unlock the Easter Egg, all players need do is kill one of the Morgul Bats that take haven in the caves around Mordor....

The matchup lived up to its billing. MORE: Chris Paul reverses course | Karl interested in Magic job | The Baseline The Hawks, behind 23 points from Jeff Teague, held off the Warriors for a 124-116 victory at Philips Arena.

Yesterday, Gearbox announced plans to make Battleborn partly free-to-play. This “free downloadable experience” allows players to play as six of the game’s characters out of 30 (they are rotated each week) and offers no time limits or level caps as they advance through the ranks of its competitive multiplayer.

According to the video game developers at DICE, Battlefield 1 fans will most definitely be able to take control of the armored train, and it isn’t just going to be a mode of transportation that will only accommodate enough space for one person driving. Interestingly enough, the “Behemoth” vehicle will also allow up to six separate individuals in the train at once, including the player maneuvering it. [HTML1] As seen in the GIF file embedded in the tweet above, the crews for the trains in Battlefield 1 will not only be able to take up passenger space aboard the vehicle, but also they will have the ability to fire powerful turret guns at any enemies as it moves along the tracks....

The Battlefield franchise started 20 years ago with Battlefield 1942 allowing a massive, for the time, 64 players into one match on a giant battleground. Since then, EA’s premier shooter franchise has set itself apart from the competition by focusing on large-scale ground battles. Battlefield: Bad Company and Battlefield: Hardline experimented with smaller match counts designed for better performances on console, but the heart of the franchise remains large-scale combat on PC....
