One of the biggest club games in the footballing world, it’s hard to remember a time when this affair hasn’t been a heated one, with fights and arguments all too commonplace during matches. A conflict that has long surpassed the sporting dimensions, the storied history of the two clubs ensures that there is often a lot more at stake than mere bragging rights. Real Madrid will be visiting the Camp Nou come December 3rd and will be fighting it out to ensure a win and to extend their lead on top of La Liga to 9 points, potentially dealing a hammer-blow to Barca’s title aspirations....

Goals from Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Paulinho secured an easy win for the Blaugrana, who barely broke a sweat on their way to a 15th win in 18 league games, a day after a £142million deal was agreed for the Liverpool star. Here are the player ratings from a straightforward outing at Camp Nou. Barcelona Marc-Andre ter Stegen – 6/10 Although Ter Stegen was solid on the whole, with very little action to be called on for, he did fumble the ball a couple of times and was not as assured as he usually is....

Julen Lopetegui has used various contrasting systems such as 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3 and apart from these, he has in-game tweaks as well.

In case you didn’t know… Rodriguez spent his last two seasons on loan from Real Madrid at Bayern Munich. Though the German club had the opportunity to sign the player, they decided against it.

The text reads, “I threw my dog a birthday party and we tried to get a group pic and this is how it went.” The camera then pans to a perplexed-looking black Labrador standing in front of a ‘Happy Birthday’ banner as the text says, “Only Clifford listened.” The caption reads, “Tell me you have millennial parents without telling me you have millennial parents”. Whether or not you can afford all the extra costs of having a pet is a huge factor when thinking about getting an animal companion....

Don’t take him to the ocean or you’ll never see him again.” In the video, which has nearly 80 thousand likes, Charlie can be seen inside looking longingly at the pool through the back door, while his owner Lori says, “Ok Charlie, when I let you out, don’t knock over any of the plants, just go in the pool, nicely....

A vital component in the team’s victory last night was the halftime adjustments it made. Particularly moving Anthony Davis from power forward to center. “If it makes sense, then obviously I don’t mind doing it. And it made sense tonight,” Davis said (via ESPN). Coach Frank Vogel said he and Davis discussed the potential move at halftime and that Davis was “all for it.” Davis, 26, finished with 21 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and five blocks on the night....

Irving was suspended by the Nets for a minimum of five games on Thursday, with the franchise deeming him “currently unfit to be associated” with the team. Irving later issued an apology via Instagram in which he expressed regret and said he was “deeply sorry” to have hurt members of the Jewish community. The apology was outlined as a step toward Irving satisfying “a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct,” a condition for reinstatement set by the Nets....

Despite having a roster featuring multiple players from the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team, Los Angeles finished 33-49 overall and failed to clinch a berth in the NBA Playoffs or Play-In Tournament. Sensing a need for change, the Lakers parted ways with Frank Vogel and replaced him with Darvin Ham, who previously served as an assistant coach for the Lakers during the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. Los Angeles remains in win-now mode, so they will be searching for players who can fit alongside LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook....

The Lakers endured a turbulent 2018-19 NBA season as they missed the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year with a 37-45 record, despite the arrival of superstar LeBron James. Magic Johnson surprisingly stepped down from his position as the president of basketball operations before the last game of the season, which expanded Pelinka’s role in the organisation, while the Lakers also parted with head coach Luke Walton. But with Frank Vogel at the helm and the Lakers poised to secure Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans in a blockbuster trade, Los Angeles owner Buss is satisfied....

Both teams are vying for a playoff place in their respective conferences, and the Heat have proved to be much better on their travels this season (6-5) when compared to their form at the American Airlines Arena (5-9).

The Lakers starting lineup will be influenced for a second game by Brandon Ingram’s injury....

European football’s governing body has confirmed it will assess the Parisians but is not looking into the economic affairs of City at this stage....

Despite announcing his shock retirement back in April, Aldrige has been building for a return to the league. He can do so now after reports on Thursday said that he has completed all the necessary tests to be cleared to play. Given their current roster status and the fact that he was with them before, the Brooklyn Nets have emerged as the frontrunners to sign LaMarcus Aldridge. On that note, here’s a look at what the Nets could gain from the move....

Fast forward five months since his announcement on ESPN’s “The Jump,” and Ball now sits near or at the top of several mock draft boards. “For sure [it] feels good,” Ball said in an exclusive interview at Foot Locker QV in Melbourne. “[I’ve] been working for it for a minute now and pretty much just trying to grow from there.” While there were plenty of questions marks surrounding Ball’s move to the Illawarra Hawks on the other side of the world, the 18-year-old has let his numbers do the talking, becoming the youngest player in NBL history to record a triple-double with a career-high 32 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds in the Hawks’ 114-106 November win over the Cairns Taipans....

The 29-year-old Spanish defender was in attendance at an awards ceremony organised in Barcelona by Federació Catalana de Futbol when he revealed the news....

Tyson prefers to call it a “complex female subjectivity.” OK, she’s earned the right. She started out as a commercial-art student in London, then dropped out to dive into the rock-band/club scene. “I had some adventures.” she says with English understatement. By the time she re-entered art college five years later, in 1986, political activists had taken over the academy, and the most inspirational pictures (“for their attitude”) she could find were photographer Cindy Sherman’s mock movie stills....
