Real Madrid (1st, 54 points) will be facing off against Deportivo Alaves (18th, 20 points) in what is potentially a crucial clash for both at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Sir Alex Ferguson did that by bringing in Robin van Persie as the marquee signing, which enabled the team to regain the league from the rivals Manchester City. The real target up ahead for the incoming manager, David Moyes, is to challenge for the Champions League title....

The snappers on Realme phones aren’t inherently bad but they’re uneventful and have lagged behind some fierce competition, particularly in the mid-range market where the company places the majority of its energy. The Realme 8 Pro is its attempt to address this shortcoming by focusing its efforts on camera quality first and foremost. At a glance, Realme has taken last year’s Realme 7 Pro but chopped-and-changed some key elements in order to accommodate the 8 Pro’s headline 108Mp primary camera, does that make this a true successor, though?...

From the racing stripes across the back to the inclusion of the fastest wired charging in any phone right now – a frankly ridiculous 150W – this phone is designed for speed freaks.

So, he did like any person looking for a job did – he went on LinkedIn. A little more than a year later, Garrett is playing in the big leagues with the Diamondbacks. All because he remembered to log back onto the website. “It’s pretty crazy,” Garrett told the Arizona Republic’s Nick Piecoro. Garrett made his big-league debut on Wednesday, notching a pair of doubles in Arizona’s 3-2 victory over San Francisco....

After installing the mod, players will find that the in-game graffiti no longer features cryptic warnings or desperate cries for help, but rather, Jaden Smith quotes. Smith’s quotes are both comical and philosophical in nature, with such hits as, “How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren’t real?” and “If a book store never runs out of a certain book, does that mean that nobody reads it, or everybody reads it?...

WWE has released over 50 wrestlers in 2021 alone. While those who were born in the United States don’t have to worry about being kicked out of the country, that, unfortunately, doesn’t apply to those who weren’t born there.
