ROMAN Real Madrid’s under-fire boss Carlo Ancelotti After crashing out of the UEFA Champions League in the semi-final following a 1-1 second-leg draw against Juventus at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti  doubted if he would still  be in charge of  Los Blancos  next season. Madrid had lost the first leg of the tie 2-1 away from home and lost after a 3-2 aggregate defeat. Despite leading the club to “ La Decima”  last season, Ancelotti’s future with Madrid is under serious doubt after crashing out of Europe. Madrid are also unlikely to win  La Liga  as they trail leaders Barcelona, who need just 1 win from their final two matches to seal the league, by 4 points. Ancelotti admitted that his future is not secure. “I don't know if I will be here next season,” said Ancelotti. The 55-year-old, however, said that there won’t be any talks with the club now as the season is not yet over. “We have 15 days left and two games. After that w...

Former Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata's second-half goal was enough to secure a draw that saw Juventus go through to the final of the UEFA Champions League. Reigning champions Real Madrid took the lead through Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty, but were unable to score any more and had their title dreams dashed in the process. The Italian champions came into the second leg with a 2-1 advantage, but knew that their job was far from done. Although the hosts put them under a lot of pressure, once Morata scored the equalizer in the second half,  Los Blancos  lost their way. Carlo Ancelotti's side resorted to playing long hopeful balls and didn't have the composure needed to break down a resolute Bianconeri defence. This victory means that the Juventus are now the first non-Spanish team to beat  La Liga  opposition over two legs in 13 ties in the competition and will face Barcelona in the final in Berlin on 6 June. Here are the major talking points from the game: 1. Team vs ...

Former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola compared Lionel Messi to the great Pele and said that Messi was a priviledge to be around. Pep Guardiola praised his former protege Lionel Messi as the "best player of all time" and said he is thrilled that the Argentine is back to his best, despite the Barcelona star proving so decisive in Bayern Munich's elimination from the Champions League.

वैशाख २९ – पछिल्लो समय टेष्ट क्रिकेटमा खराब नतिजाका बाबजुत भारत टेष्ट वरियतामा २ स्थान माथि उक्लिएको छ । टेष्ट क्रिकेटमा लगातार पराजय भएको भारत छैटौं स्थानमा झरेको थियो । तर अन्तराष्ट्रिय क्रिकेट काउन्सिल आइसिसीले सोमबार जारी गरेको वरियतामा भारत २ स्थान माथि उक्लदै चौथो स्थानमा आइपुगेको हो । आइसिसीले सन् २०११ र २०१२ को नतिजालाई हटाउने तथा सन् २०१३ र २०१४ को सिरिजलाई पनि ५० प्रतिशत मात्र महत्व दिएका कारण भारतलाई फाइदा भएको हो ।  यसअघि भारत इग्ल्याण्ड र अष्ट्रेलिया दुवै टोलीसँग समान ४–० ले पराजित भएको थियो । टेष्ट वरियताको शीर्ष स्थानमा दक्षिण अफ्रिका, दोश्रोमा अष्ट्रेलिया र तेश्रो स्थानमा न्युजिल्याण्ड छन् ।

Gayle also holds the record score (175) in the IPL. Simply put, he's cricket's version of 'Whomping Willow' who has put the fear of God into bowlers world over. Add to that his flamboyant lifestyle and you have all it takes to make one a megastar. We caught up with the 35-year-old as he mixed business with pleasure at the tony Stock Exchange Bar on a lively Friday night. Excerpts: Every time you seem to be down and out you come back stronger. What's the secret? Chris is never out. That's the nature of the game. Things sometimes look down. You should understand the situation. Having said that, I am looking forward to start afresh against the Mumbai Indians on Su...
