Tottenham have given an ultimatum to Jose Mourinho who needs to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League to retain his job beyond the season. And considering the way the table is laid out right now, there is little that the Portuguese can do to jump ahead of all the other teams vying for a Champions League berth next season.
Hugo Lloris was furious following the 3-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League that saw Tottenham surrender their two-goal advantage to the Croatian club. Mislav Orsic scored a hat trick against the Premier League outfit, completed in extra time to seal the second leg win for his team.
‘I think we are all more than disappointed, it is just a disgrace,’ said the club captain.
‘I just hope everyone in the changing room feels responsible for the situation because it’s a disgrace.
‘The taste of the defeat tonight is more than painful and we are all responsible for that.
‘The accumulation, obviously we are a club full of ambition, I just think the team at the moment is a reflection of what is going on in the club.’

The defensive errors are becoming all too common for Spurs, and Mourinho’s emphasis of defensive football ahead of playing expressive football against an opposition that isn’t similar in stature creates a duality mindset in the players, leaving them confused as to whether to take their chances or to simply focus on not conceding.
With the way things are looking now, it looks ever so likely that we will be seeing Mourinho depart London once again.

Budget smartphones often see a huge demand. Especially, in India, we see a lot of these smartphones selling. Today, we compare three such budget smartphones which are priced under Rs 11,000. We are talking about Micromax IN 1, Poco M3 and Moto G30.
Display
Micromax IN 1 and Poco M3 sports a 6.67-inch FHD+ LCD display and 6.53-inches FHD+ LCD display respectively. The former comes with a screen resolution of 1080×2400 pixels whereas the latter has that of 1080×2340 pixels. As compared to them, Moto G30 flaunts a 6.5-inch display and has a screen resolution of 720×1600 pixels which is HD+ but has a fluent 90Hz display that puts the device in a lot more advantageous position among the users.
Moto G30 and POCO M3 are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 mobile processor whereas the Micromax IN 1 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G80 SoC.
Camera
Micromax In Note 1 has a triple-camera set up at the back which includes a 48 MP primary sensor, a 2 MP wide-angle lens, and a 2 MP depth sensor. On the front side, you will spot an 8MP camera lens. Moto G30’s quad-camera set up offers a 64-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, and two 2-megapixel sensors for macro shots and depth-sensing.
It also has a 13 MP selfie snapper. The POCO M3 also sports a triple rear camera setup which features a 48 MP primary camera, a 2 MP macro, and a 2 MP depth sensor. On the front, you will see an 8 MP Wide-Angle Primary Camera.
Micromax IN 1 and Moto G30 are packed with the same 5000 mAh battery cell. The former has an 18W fast-charging support and the latter is paired with the 20W charging support. The Poco M3 draws energy from a superior 6000 mAh battery and is paired with an 18W fast-charging support.
Price
Micromax In 1 offers 4 GB + 64 GB for Rs 10,499 (Introductory price of Rs 9,999 on March 26th). The same storage + RAM option for Moto G30 is priced at Rs 10,999. Poco M3’s 6 GB +64 GB storage option will come at a price tag of Rs 10,999. All these phones are now available in different colour options and different storage variants in Flipkart.
Conclusion
Micromax IN 1 has the biggest screen and offers the best model out of the three in terms of screen resolution. Snapdragon 662 SoC offers better performance than MediaTek Helio G80 mobile processor. Thus, Micromax IN 1 and Poco M3 lead in the processor’s domain.
In terms of optics, Moto G30 has the best specifications in both the rear camera module and selfie lens. Poco M3 has the best battery specifications followed by Moto G30 and Micromax IN 1. Not much to separate the three smartphones in terms of price. Micromax IN 1 is priced at Rs 500 less than Moto G30 and Poco M3.
There is no clear winner out of the three which tells a lot about the competitive nature in the price domain. Personally, I prefer a robust SoC and a powerful battery. Thus, I will go with Poco M3. But if you prefer some other features, your choice will be different.
Lucifer is now one of the most trending series on Netflix. The first part of Lucifer season five part two is now available to stream on Netflix, and the second half is on the way to come.

As per the BCCI guidelines, all the members of the Indian team will directly enter into IPL team bio-bubbles once the England series comes to an end.
The Indian team is currently playing against England. They are yet to play a 3 matches ODI series. According to just-released BCCI’s bio-secure protocols for IPL 2021, the board has denied any break to meet family members or anyone ahead of IPL 2021.
If any player decides not to join the bio-bubble, he will have to go under 7 days quarantine before joining their respective franchise.
According to a report by Cricbuzz, BCCI will allow Bubble to Bubble transfers for the Indian team players and any foreign player coming in from Bio-Bubble of their national squad.
BCCI stated, “Players coming directly from the Bubble created for India vs. England series, may be permitted to join the franchise squad without serving the mandatory quarantine period, provided they satisfy the criteria of moving directly to the franchise team hotel either in the team bus or on a chartered flight.”
The rules of the bio-bubbles are-
Bubble-to-Bubble transfer rules will apply only if they are flying by chartered flights.
There will be a total of 12 bubbles. 8 for franchise teams and support staff, 2 for match officials, and 2 more for broadcast commentators and crew.
As BCCI officials will not be part of any bubble, they cannot interact in person with any player, team support staff, match management teams, and broadcast crews.
There will be 4 Bubble integrity managers for each team. They will have a close look at all the members and will report to the BCCI Chief Medical if anyone breaches the protocols.
IPL is going to start on the 9th of April. Before that, it is a big task for BCCI to assure the safety of every player.
As confirmed by the Deutsche Fussball Bund and the man himself, Joachim Low will be stepping down as the national team coach of Germany following their participation in this year’s European Championship. This will see the 61-year-old end his stint as the longest-serving national team coach in the history of the sport.
Low has been successful in his coaching of Die Mannschaft, having led them to the peak of the mountain of international football with the World Cup win in 2014 against Argentina in the final. Things haven’t been as good as they once were, and recent times have shown that in Germany’s performances.
TRUE ✅ Jogi Löw, who will resign from @DFB_Team in summer, is learning Spanish. He told me often that @realmadrid would be a club that he would like to coach
There has been speculation as to whether Low will be returning to club football after almost two decades away from the scene, and recent updates regarding the German coach could be suggesting exactly that.
Reliable German journalist Christian Falk has confirmed that Low is indeed learning Spanish in his downtime, as possible preparation for a new job. Falk has also mentioned that Low talked about managing Real Madrid at some point in his career, and that could finally happen if Madrid chooses to appoint him as the replacement for Zinedine Zidane.
It’s no secret that Real Madrid are still heavily reliant on their old guard that comprises Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema and Luka Modric. The three, along with Marcelo, will need to be replaced along with the other players entering, or in their 30s right now in the near future, and that is something that Madrid will want to hand to somebody else.
If that is, in fact, what they choose, then Low could be a good choice considering his recent history of relying on young talent for the German national team.
A new clause has emerged in Philippe Coutinho’s Barcelona contract that prevents Barcelona from signing any more Liverpool players for cheap until 2021. This is because the clause states that Barcelona would have to pay €93 million over any transfer fees that they will be charged if they choose to sign Liverpool players.
Arguably the highlight of Coutinho’s career since moving to Barcelona was the 2 goals he scored in their decimation of Barcelona 8-2 in last season’s Champions League and then winning the treble with them while on loan at the German club. He has since come back to the Catalan club and has been hit with injuries that have hampered his overall progress at the club.
Coutinho was signed on an ambitious transfer fee worth €160 million but has failed to live up to the price tag, or his previous spell at Liverpool that saw him emerge as one of the best-attacking midfielders in the world.
Another clause that was included in Coutinho’s contract mentioned that Barcelona would have to pay a sum of money to Liverpool once Coutinho made a certain number of appearances for Barcelona, and the player is still out on the sidelines.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta is reported to be keen on wanting to part ways with Coutinho since the move has clearly not worked out for either party. But the Blaugrana will have to accept a heavy loss on the monetary side since there are practically no clubs that will pay a hefty price tag for Coutinho at this point in time.
With the new President now sworn in, Barcelona will be looking to extend the contracts of many of their players who have contracts expiring this summer or next summer, and need to do the needful to secure their future and not risk losing talent for free.
Oscar Mingueza
An academy graduate for Barcelona, the 21-year-old has been a regular for the first team this season and has worked really hard to break into the competitive ranks of the Barcelona squad with players out injured. His contributions to the backline this season surely warrant an extension.
Ilaix Moriba
The youngster only recently scored his first goal for the club, and the backroom staff is apparently in love with the young Dutchman. Barcelona have hence decided to offer the player an extension on his current deal.
Sergi Roberto
Arguably one of the most underrated and versatile players in the squad, Sergi Roberto has been tasked with filling in for Dani Alves in right back and has done a pretty good job of it. Injuries have plagued him this season, but that does not rule out the prospect of the future for the player.
Ousmane Dembele
Dembele will have only a year of contract left at the end of the ongoing campaign, and given that he is still young, he could have a good future at Barcelona considering his talent and potential. The club will have to choose between extending his contract or selling him in the summer.
Lionel Messi
The Argentinian has been well documented to be on the verge of leaving Camp Nou over the last year, and Joan Laporta’s appointment speech professed nothing but true love for Messi from himself as well as the club. The fans all across the world will be hoping with fingers crossed that Laporta can convince the best player in the history of the sport to continue with the club.
As per the quarter-final draw of the Champions League that took place yesterday, Manchester City will go up against Borussia Dortmund over two legs to determine who makes it through to the semi-finals of this year’s event. The winners will face either one of Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain, based on who wins the other quarter-final in the replay of last year’s final.
Dortmund star Erling Haaland will be coming up against his father’s former club, while the same can be said for Giovanni Reyna. Jason Sancho will be making a return to the Etihad after leaving England to join Dortmund where he rose to fame.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was asked about rumours that the club would want to try and sign Erling Haaland in the future, and the City boss was neutral when asked about the issue. Here is what he had to say:
“The numbers speak for themselves. He is one of the best strikers in the world right now for his age. I know the quality of this player.”
“I don’t like when people talk about our players, so he’s a player for Borussia Dortmund. You understand I cannot answer this question.”
Being a former Bayern Munich coach, coming up against Borussia Dortmund will always be a special feeling for Guardiola, who was all praises for the Schwarzgelben:
“It is a privilege to be in the last eight teams.
“I haven’t seen much of them this season because we don’t have time, but in this international break we will have time to see them.
