The game further highlighted the attacking woes of the La Liga giants, and Carlo Ancelotti might have a few worries with the season right around the corner. Real Madrid remain hopeful of bolstering their attack this summer, with the club already monitoring a few targets at the moment. Los Blancos also have to decide on the futures of some of their stars before the end of August. On that note, let’s take a look at the major Real Madrid transfer stories from August 9, 2021....

Robert Lewandowski bagged the opener just 44 seconds into the match as the birthday boy looked to lead that rebound, but on the whole it looked awkward through the first 45 minutes. Barcelona appeared disjointed in a number of areas, displaying key deficiencies that Real Sociedad took advantage of and responded just minutes later via Alexander Isak to level the score. After halftime, however, Real Sociedad misses and the deep Barcelona bench swung the match in favor of Xavi’s side....

The hosts have made a decent start to the campaign, picking up nine points from their opening seven fixtures and would be seeking to build on their 2-0 away victory over Espanyol last time out. For their part, Atletico Madrid are currently placed third in the standings, just one point behind their city rivals Real Madrid, and given their lofty ambitions this season, Diego Simeone would want to get all three points to build momentum heading into the international break....

A round exploded only feet in front of her and her colleague, leaving four members of a family, including two children, dead on the street. “That was extremely difficult because we were both in shock,” she told Newsweek, “it’s rare as a journalist that you are actually in the attack that you end up photographing.” She had previously defended her controversial image after it was published on the front page of The New York Times, as an important testament to Russian aggression....

Sure enough, the Realme GT 2 Pro was announced in China promptly afterwards sporting the chip, going on sale in the region at the turn of the new year. Fans in the rest of the world, however, were left waiting until the company made its Mobile World Congress debut in late February, where the GT 2 Pro’s international availability was confirmed for 8 March. Now that the phone is here, it’s a matter of understanding whether the Pro strikes the characteristic price/performance balancing act that the company’s short lineage of existing flagship phones is known for or whether it offers a more competitive package against the wider flagship market....

Chris Cleave was driving near Playa del Carmen, a coastal resort town, on Saturday when he was approached by two gunmen and shot dead, police said. The 54-year-old died instantly. His 14-year-old daughter, who was a passenger in the red Audi, survived with only minor injuries, state government sources told Reuters. She was treated for shock. Cleave, who worked in real estate in the nearby region of Cancún, had recently been threatened by a local gang, according to local media reports....

Mark’s first ride is perfect as he sails through a green barrel and exits over its lip. His second wave is rougher and is not as good. Mark (who is also a member of our team) attempts to escape it by jumping off early, but the wave picks him up and slams him onto the reef. Mark’s right leg is destroyed. The force of the blow dislocates his knee, fractures his shin, ruptures his anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and rips through his femoral artery and nerve....

The reason, it turned out, is that Duhon’s wife, Andrea, was pregnant with twins, and Duhon decided he needed to remain near her rather than make the trip across the Atlantic. It turned out to be a sound decision, as last week, Andrea Duhon gave birth to twins, two months premature. The babies and their mother are healthy.

Why does someone care about who I’m sleeping with? Is it someone else’s business? What year is it? Things have changed a lot since I came out over 20 years ago [with an appearance at the 1994 Gay Games]. Back in the day when I was diving and living in the spotlight, reporters were respectful. I’d discuss the aspects of my personal life that I saw fit and that was it....

Chris Lynn’s injury-enforced absence from the five-match contest has prompted 34-year-old White’s recall after almost three years out of the system, with Glenn Maxwell once again overlooked. Former Australia Twenty20 captain White told RSN Radio this time last year: “You can get picked to play for Australia in any format out of the Big Bash, really. It doesn’t make a lot of sense. I’m just a little worried to be honest, on the importance the selectors are putting on domestic cricket....

But when might these symptoms suggest something more? Might we (and our doctors) be misreading the clues by jumping to the first, albeit reasonable, diagnosis? Today, we should always consider the possibility of HIV in those at high risk of infection, including men who have sex with men (MSM) and sexually active adolescents and young adults. While the above-listed symptoms may not serve as obvious warning signs, they are the type of symptoms commonly seen in those with recent HIV infection (a state commonly referred to as either acute HIV syndrome, acute retroviral syndrome or acute seroconversion)....

The federal Real ID Act has imposed new rules about the identification that may be used to board domestic flights and enter secure federal facilities, such as military bases and courthouses. This will come into effect across the U.S. on May 3, 2023. A Real ID driver’s license or identification card issued in California is marked with a gold bear and a star, and meets these new rules. Applicants provide proof of identity and typically need to visit a branch of the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles)....

There can be no better illustration of the different directions that the campaigns of the two opposing teams have taken than the evident gulf on the points table. Kashmir are third while Aizawl are a rung above the bottom in the 11-team league. Aizawl have a new coach in Stanley Rosario appointed in place of Gift Raikhan, who resigned earlier after a string of poor shows, while Real Kashmir coach David Robertson has never looked more certain of what he was trying to achieve with his team....

Following Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory in the first leg of the tie at the Allianz Arena, which saw them score two crucial away goals, Los Blancos welcomed Bayern Munich to the Santiago Bernabeu in what was always expected to be a feisty affair. The hosts entered the clash as clear favourites, predominantly due to the fact that they were playing at home, their fortress. On the other hand, the Bavarians had their task cut out for them and there was only one way they could afford to play - no holds barred....

Real Madrid believe Martin Odegaard has the potential to become a world-class attacking midfielder. The club were initially willing to listen to offers for the 22-year-old, but have now ruled out any chance of selling him this summer. Martin Odegaard rose to prominence during his loan spell with Real Sociedad last season. He developed into one of La Liga’s most potent attacking midfielders before being loaned out to Arsenal this season....

In case you didn’t know.. Luka Modric experienced a successful campaign in 2018, both for his club and country. Modric was pivotal as Real Madrid won the Champions League for the third consecutive time. The Croatian star showed his calibre against the toughest of sides in the World Cup, helping Croatia reach the finals of the tournament. Modric won the Golden Ball award and numerous individual awards, including the Ballon d’Or....

In case you didn’t know… Eden Hazard recently completed his highly anticipated transfer move to Real Madrid last week. The 28-year-old was presented as a Los Blancos player in front of 55,000 Madridistas who were present at the Santiago de Bernabeu to welcome their new Galactico. Hazard’s transfer to the Spanish capital was long coming. The two-time Premier League winner revealed that it had been his childhood dream to represent the 13-time European champions....

In case you didn’t know… Santiago Solari took over when ex-boss Julen Lopetegui was fired due to a string of poor performances before mid season. Despite the Argentine coach’s best efforts and notable changes, Real Madrid have failed to turn their season around. Their 4-1 defeat against Ajax- one of the youngest teams in the Champions League this season- further enhanced their misery. Meanwhile, they were also knocked out from the Copa Del Rey by Barcelona last week and their home defeats against Girona and Barcelona leave them 12 points behind league leaders Barcelona....

Real Madrid linked with a move for Lucas Hernandez Real Madrid are eyeing a swoop for Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez, who has reportedly grown disillusioned with the lack of starts. Hernandez has managed just ten starts in the Bundesliga this season, and isn’t the preferred option at left-back or even in a more central role. As per Defensa Central, Real Madrid could take advantage of the situation and sign the Frenchman....
