UN to vote tomorrow on Palestinian state UN membership

The United Nations Security Council will vote Thursday on the Palestinians’ application to become a full UN member state, an AFP report said. The General Assembly can admit a new member state with a two-thirds majority vote, but only after the Security Council gives its recommendation. The Palestinians — who have had observer status at the United Nations since 2012 — have lobbied for years to gain full membership. According to the Palestinian side, 137 of the 193 UN member states already recognize a Palestinian state, raising hope that their request would be supported in the General Assembly. But the Palestinian push for UN membership faces a major hurdle, as the United States — Israel’s closest ally — could use its veto power to block the Security Council recommendation.

What Happened to Jimmy Butler? After the Heat’s loss to the 76ers, an update on Lakers star MCL injuries!

Jimmy Butler is the face of Miami Heat and the franchise struggles when he is unfit. As the Miami Heat prepare to face the Chicago Bulls to get into playoffs, Butler’s injury is making Heat fans sweat.

Jimmy Butler injury

The star guard took a serious tumble, and with him went Miami Heat supporters’ dreams of making it to the postseason this year. Shams Charania claims that Butler will be sidelined for an undetermined amount of time due to an MCL injury.

In the play-in game between the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers, Butler was injured in the first quarter. The former star of the 76ers attempted a layup but fell hard and was seen to be in a lot of agony.

When is the MRI scan?

To figure out the full extent of his injury, Butler is expected to have an MRI on Thursday. The cause of the injury is unknown, but it could very well keep him out of action forever. If that happens, he won’t be able to participate in Friday’s win-or-go-home game against the Chicago Bulls, nor, if Miami makes it to the postseason, any of the games.

He played the full game despite falling, ending with 40 minutes and 19 points in the loss. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra stated that Butler’s knee “started to limit him a little more” as the game went on.

When he is on the floor, Butler is a dedicated team player who plays with all of his heart. But, it’s possible that playing for over 30 minutes while injured worsened the ailment, which might mean a longer recovery time.

Narrow loss for the Heat against the 76ers

Butler who is averaging 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and five assists per game this season, was nowhere near his best after the injury. He struggled with efficiency and shot just 5-of-18 from the field Wednesday. 

His teammates provided support but that wasn’t enough as the Heat suffered a one-point loss against the 76ers. Tyler Herro led the Heat with 25 points and nine assists in the loss, and rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. added 15 points off the bench.

European kings can retake their reigns as Man City is denied a double treble.

The kings had dethroned the champions. The era of Manchester City was brief—just one year. Real Madrid, the team Pep Guardiola has long referred to as the “kings of Europe,” did what they always do to eliminate City from continental play. They managed to figure it out.

It took a fantastic comeback, a mishmash of penalty takers, and a few saves from goalie Andriy Lunin, who would have been on the bench if Thibaut Courtois hadn’t injured his cruciate ligament or if Kepa Arrizabalaga had played better.

However, Real managed to get past Guardiola’s favorites despite being battered but not vanquished and obstinate but not defeated. A semi-final matchup with Bayern Munich is now imminent. Now, a fifth of Carlo Ancelotti’s incredible career and a fifteenth European Cup could do.

Man City vs Real Madrid

REAL MADRID WIN ON PENALTIES!

Wednesday 17 April 2024 23:41 , Ben Fleming

Pep Guardiola speaks to the media after City’s defeat: “Sometimes you can win on penalties and sometimes you cannot. But in the game, we did not convert the chances that we had, even though we defended really. Everyone performed at a high level. We said we would have to be at our best to play Real Madrid and they were.”

“Football is about scoring goals and they did it a little better than us from the penalty spot. They are in the semi-finals, we are not. Small margins. It is what it is. Sometimes you win on penalties, sometimes not.”

REAL MADRID WIN ON PENALTIES!

Wednesday 17 April 2024 23:36Ben Fleming

Real Madrid have eliminated the reigning Champions League title-holders six times in knockout ties – at least twice as often as any other side in the competition’s history. Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti has now qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League for the 10th time, the joint-most of any manager in the competition’s history (level with Pep Guardiola on 10).

REAL MADRID WIN ON PENALTIES!

Wednesday 17 April 2024 23:31Ben Fleming

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti also speaks to Movistar: “We started well, went ahead and then we had to fight to survive, we had to suffer. City had control because we defended too deep.

“By the time the penalty shootout came, we were totally convinced we’d go through. This is about the only way you can come to City and win. You work, sacrifice and win however you can. Pep Guardiola is a gentleman, always has been. He congratulated us, wished us good luck and that’s what a real gent does.

“We defended really, really well tonight. This was about survival. Madrid is a club based on always fighting to stay in situations where there seems to be no way out – but we always find a way.”

REAL MADRID WIN ON PENALTIES!

Wednesday 17 April 2024 23:26 , Ben Fleming

Madrid defender Nacho speaks to Spanish outlet Movistar: “We suffered a lot tonight because City really put you under the cosh. But we are Real Madrid. We always, always fight until the very end.

“We aren’t used to suffering like that. Normally it’s us putting teams under the cosh like that. But the only thing which mattered, all night, was making sure it was us in the semi-finals. We showed another side of ourselves; we showed we know how to defend deep and win.

“We put on a terrific display of how to defend and, both individually and collectively, this is such a happy feeling,” says Nacho. “I’ve got goosebumps talking about it. We didn’t start the shoot-out too well but we are a proud bunch. We showed our pride and made this a magical night.”

Ruben Dias speaking to TNT Sports

Wednesday 17 April 2024 23:20 , Ben Fleming

“I don’t know what to say. It’s frustrating – we dominated the whole game and had our chances but it’s difficult to take. The way we control the game, we always do everything we can to try and avoid going to penalties because, in a way, that is what they wanted.

“We had the chances – sometimes the ball goes in, sometimes it doesn’t but now we have to look forward to what’s still to come this season.”

On the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea on Saturday: “We won’t have much time to rest, it’s a busy part of the season, but now is a moment to be strong, especially in the head, as we are still fighting for two very important competitions.”

More from Bellingham

Wednesday 17 April 2024 23:15 , Ben Fleming

“Our biggest strength is Carlo Ancelotti. He finds a way to let a lot of boys play with freedom. We’re so off the cuff. As a man, he fills you with calmness and confidence. I caught him yawning and he said to go out and excite him.

“Moments like this are magic and it just comes down to mentality: when you get those details right and you get those little moments, like the penalties, when the lads keep their cool. It’s magic. This was beautiful; my brother’s here today and it’s the first time he’s been able to see me playing for Madrid. I feel really proud about that.”

Jude Bellingham speaking to TNT Sports

Wednesday 17 April 2024 23:07 , Ben Fleming

“It’s a relief because you put so much into the game. I’ve played against City when you’ve been close, you think you’re going to get something out of it and then suddenly they snatch it away from you. You have to work really hard to beat them. To win the game was a massive reward.

They’re continually probing with the ball, they move you around and take you into positions that you don’t want to go to but you have to otherwise they can punish you and they did with the goal. Most teams would fall apart but we stood up really well and kept working hard.”

On his start to life at Real Madrid: “I could have never dreamt of a start like this. Not just because of the performances but the feeling of playing for the club. You put the badge on your chest and you’re just so grateful. Hopefully plenty more nights like this.”

54 mins: Wave after wave of City pressure to begin this second half as Valverde blocks Grealish’s cross behind for a corner.

Gvardiol rises well to get a flick-on at the near post but Camavinga is well-positioned to head the ball away with Haaland lurking with intent beyond him.

Wednesday 17 April 2024 21:03 , Ben Fleming

Ominous signs for City fans hoping for a second-half comeback.

Real Madrid haven’t lost any of their last 57 Champions League games in which they’ve been ahead at half time (W50 D7), with their last such defeat coming against Galatasaray back in April 2013 (1-0 up at half time, lost 2-3).

39 mins: City fans are not happy as the ref keeps his card in the pocket following Vinicius’ challenge on Silva. It comes after Carvajal was shown the game’s first yellow for a foul on Grealish a minute earlier.

19 mins: How did that not go in? Haaland gets his header right this but it cannons back off the post. The ball drops to Silva, who is only yards out from goal, but the Portuguese midfielder can’t get his body in the right position to divert it into the net.

Man City 0-1 Real Madrid (3-4 agg.)

Wednesday 17 April 2024 20:20 , Ben Fleming

17 mins: Superb work from Grealish to keep the ball in play. Silva latches onto the loose ball, whipping it in first time towards the back post. Haaland rises well but can’t keep his header down as it flies over the bar.

GOAL! Man City 0-1 Real Madrid (Rodrygo, 12 mins – 3-4 agg.)

Wednesday 17 April 2024 20:15 , Ben Fleming

Real Madrid strike first! A long, hopeful punt upfield is brought down well by Bellingham. It’s worked out to the right before Vinicius flashes a low ball across the box.

Ederson does superbly to deny Rodrygo’s first-time effort but he can do nothing to prevent the follow-up effort and the Spaniard’s edge ahead on aggregate.

Man City 0-0 Real Madrid (3-3 agg.)

Wednesday 17 April 2024 20:13 , Ben Fleming

10 mins: Camavinga with Real Madrid’s first chance, now, but his long-range effort is straight into the palms of Ederson.

Just under ten minutes to go until kick-off and the atmosphere is building inside the Etihad Stadium. What has the next 90 minutes got in store for us?

Happy hunting ground for Bernardo Silva

Wednesday 17 April 2024 19:47 , Ben Fleming

Silva has netted four goals in seven games against Real Madrid – against sides he’s faced 5+ times as a Manchester City player, only versus Watford (115) does he have a better minutes-per-goal ratio than he does against Los Blancos (144).

Will the Portuguese midfielder notch up another tonight?

Another chapter in the Guardiola-Ancelotti rivalry

Wednesday 17 April 2024 19:36 , Ben Fleming

This will be the eighth time that Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti have faced each other in the UEFA Champions League, and the sixth while in charge of their current clubs Manchester City and Real Madrid.

The only pairs of managers who have faced each other on more than eight occasions in the competition are Alex Ferguson & Ottmar Hitzfeld and Carlo Ancelotti & Jürgen Klopp (nine times each).

Madrid up against the odds

Wednesday 17 April 2024 19:29 , Ben Fleming

Real Madrid have only progressed from two of their previous 10 UEFA Champions League knockout stage ties after failing to win the first leg at home.

Both of the times they’ve managed to progress in that scenario in the second leg were against Manchester United (1999-2000 quarter-finals and 2012-13 round of 16).

Manchester City and Real Madrid lock horns in a titanic clash for a place in the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday night (TNT Sports 1, 8 pm).

The sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in the first leg of their quarter-final tie at the Santiago Bernabeu, leaving the contest firmly in the balance at the Etihad Stadium.

City held the lead twice, but Carlo Ancelotti’s men battled back to earn parity and give themselves a chance to avenge their defeat to City in last year’s semi-finals.

The tie is eerily similar to last season’s duel as the two teams played out a draw in the Bernabeu before City destroyed Los Blancos in the second leg, running out 4-0 winners at the Etihad.

Guardiola calls for patience

Wednesday 17 April 2024 19:15 , Ben Fleming

It could still be another fairytale year for Pep Guardiola’s Man City as they remain in the hunt for a historic second successive trouble. Despite that, the City boss is demanding patience from his fans and players.

“We are far away from the hypothetical dreams. When we are in the final of the FA Cup and the final of the Champions League and one or two games left with three, four, five points advantage, then I will start to think about this,” he said at his press conference.

“It’s one game at a time – Real Madrid tomorrow – and it is step by step. To still be in the position to win the Treble and being in contention at this stage, hats off, chapeau, incredible.”

Foden hoping to shine

Wednesday 17 April 2024 18:30 , Ben Fleming

The Englishman was rested at the weekend but will hopefully be back in the starting XI tonight. What’s for sure is that he’s enjoyed his time in the competition, scoring in each of his last five starts in the Champions League (five goals); the joint-longest run by a Manchester City player in the competition, along with Sergio Agüero (Feb 2018-March 2019).

Man City vs Real Madrid

Head-to-head

Wednesday 17 April 2024 18:20Ben Fleming

It’s tight between the two sides historically, with Man City winning four and Real Madrid three (four draws). What is guaranteed, though, is goals. Indeed, the last five meetings between Manchester City and Real Madrid in the Champions League have produced 23 goals, at an average of 4.6 per game.

Ancelotti – ‘We have to have the quality to create problems’

Wednesday 17 April 2024 18:10Ben Fleming

Real Madrid suffered a humiliating defeat last time the two sides met at the Etihad Stadium, but Carlo Ancelotti is convinced his side will banish their demons as they look to reach yet another Champions League semi-final.

“In the last three years we’ve faced City and they’ve been spectacular games, tomorrow will be the same,” he said. “We have to compete and believe, which is what we’re trying to do today. The tie is level and we survived 90 minutes and anything can happen. We have to have the quality to create problems.

“We’re planning to put on a complete performance. Attacking and defending well, not losing the ball unnecessarily, playing well on the counter, controlling transitions. It has to be a very complete performance and we’re not focusing on just one aspect, we have to focus on all of them.”

Why the Premier League is now at risk of missing out on the fifth Champions League spot

Wednesday 17 April 2024 18:00Ben Fleming

After a disappointing set of results last week, the Premier League’s hopes of gaining an extra Champions League spot in next season’s revamped competition have been dealt a blow.

The Champions League is being expanded to a 36-team tournament from 2024/25 and two of the extra four places will be awarded to countries whose teams perform best in this season’s European competitions.

As confirmed by Uefa on their website, England sits third in the race, behind Italy and Germany, which would mean Serie A and the Bundesliga get a fifth Champions League place next season.

City will host Real Madrid at the Etihad following a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Bernabeu, while it looks tougher for Arsenal as they will need to get a result at Bayern Munich after a 2-2 draw against the German side at the Emirates.

The outcome of that tie could be decisive in the race between the Premier League and Bundesliga, as Arsenal could deny Germany if the Gunners knock out Bayern in Munich.

Why Jude Bellingham joined Real Madrid ‘project’ — and what comes next

Wednesday 17 April 2024 17:45 , Ben Fleming

As Jude Bellingham sat behind the top table at the Etihad Stadium, to his right were three massive images, filling a wall. Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri and Erling Haaland, each holding a trophy from Manchester City’s treble. There is an alternative future in which a supersized picture of him would stare out, where he could find himself next to Rodri and De Bruyne on a wall and in a midfield.

City wanted him last year. They were not alone in that. Liverpool did too, before bowing out of the bidding. And yet, for one of the most coveted players on the planet, the decision was actually a simple one.

KL Rahul’s Best Performances In The IPL

  • 132 not out vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Lightning– I had struck at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 24, 2020, when KL Rahul smashed his IPL-best score of 132 (not out) against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) skipper remained unbeaten as he attained this impressive figure in a mere 69 balls. His stellar performance included 14 boundaries and seven sixes. Rahul’s knock spearheaded Punjab to a 97-run victory over RCB.
  • 103 not out vs Mumbai Indians– Rahul was at his best against Mumbai Indians on April 16, 2022. Playing at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, the Karnataka-born batter guided Lucknow to an 18-run victory against the five-time IPL champions. The ace batter remained not out while adding 103 runs to his team’s tally facing just 60 balls. His innings included nine boundaries and five sixes.
  • 103 not out vs Mumbai Indians– Just eight days later after his first century of IPL 2022, KL Rahul added his second ton of the season against Mumbai Indians. After losing his fellow opener Quinton de Kock, Rahul took up the responsibility to anchor his team’s innings. The ace Indian batter smashed an unbeaten 103 runs in 62 balls. His knock included 12 boundaries and four sixes. His heroics helped LSG reach 168/6, eventually, winning the game by 36 runs.
  • 100 not out vs Mumbai Indians– KL Rahul’s first century against the Mumbai Indians came in 2019 when he put up an absolute show at the Wankhede Stadium. Representing Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings), Rahul scored 100 runs off 64 balls while remaining unbeaten against the then Rohit Sharma-led side. He hit six boundaries and as many sixes in the match to help Punjab reach a total of 197. Rahul’s knock, however, did not prove to be enough as Mumbai Indians secured a three-wicket victory in that fixture.
  • 98 not out vs Chennai Super Kings– Representing Punjab Kings, KL Rahul produced another memorable knock of 98 (not out) against the then MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings on October 7, 2021. Chasing a 135-run target, Rahul smashed seven boundaries and eight sixes. He did so in 42 balls, spearheading his side to a dominant six-wicket victory.
