Cristiano Ronaldo may return to Old Trafford next summer if he finally leave Juventus.
Cristiano Ronald’s future is in the centre of attention in the last few days as Juventus was knocked out of the Champions League by Porto. Juventus have been the victims of three giant killings in a row. In 2018-19 they lost to Ajax in the quarterfinal. Last season they were beaten by Lyon and this season Porto.
Juventus is also not having a great time in the domestic league as well. They are now 3rd in the table, 10 points behind the leaders’ Inter Milan. After winning 9 straight Serie A titles win this can be the first season when they lose the title.
In this circumstance, Juventus is trying to find a way to get ‘rid’ of the Portuguese talisman. Recently in an interview Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes revealed that Ronaldo was offered to Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United last summer. But both the teams refused to spend a huge amount on the Portuguese.
But in the current situation, Juventus is ready to let the Portuguese go in just £25 million. Earlier it was reported that Jorge Mendes is holding talks with Real Madrid for a sensational return of the Portuguese talisman.
However, As per sources, Manchester United is also interested to sign their former player. The 5 times Ballon D’or winner is now more likely to return at Old Trafford than Real Madrid.
A recent report coming out of ESPN stated that the differences between Frank Lampard and Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea has been similar to night and day, according to a player who was kept anonymous.
Let’s have a look at the differences in the way the team plays, given the obvious difference in results. Tuchel has been unbeaten since taking over the club while Frank Lampard’s final days saw Chelsea struggle to beat even teams from the bottom half of the table.
LONDON, ENGLAND – OCTOBER 20: Thiago Silva of Chelsea and Youssef En-Nesyri of FC Sevilla during the UEFA Champions League Group E stage match between Chelsea FC and FC Sevilla at Stamford Bridge on October 20, 2020 in London, England.

Firstly, in formation, Tuchel has used 3 centre-backs with wing-backs to hold the backline well, keeping ten clean sheets along the way. Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have enjoyed a resurgence in the squad, while Thiago Silva has been a regular but is out injured right now. Cesar Azpilicueta shifts into right-centre back much like he did under Antonio Conte.
The wing-back position has been very interesting for the Blues, as Callum Hudson-Odoi has been competing with Reece James for the position. Moreover, Tuchel has not been hesitant to call on Marcos Alonso and bench Ben Chilwell, who naturally operates as a left-back, owing to Alonso’s higher offensive output.

In midfield, N’Golo Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic have been rotated midfield while two modified number tens have been deployed behind a centre-forward. This is the other position where Tuchel has been brave enough to innovate, deploying Olivier Giroud, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz in the role most recently while Tammy Abraham has had to endure a decline in his role in the squad.
Lampard on the other hand preferred a 4-2-3-1 with fixed players and was rather hesitant to rotate the squad. That has not been the case with Tuchel, as the German has been carefree with his choices that have paid off.
The team all in all looks much more energetic and has a clear plan of what to do, something that was missing even in the best games under Frank Lampard if we are to be honest.
Redmi has launched its K40 series in China a few weeks ago and reports were saying that this K40 series will come up globally under POCO’s brand.

On the other hand, the standard Redmi K40 is likely to arrive globally under POCO’s brand, probably POCO F3 and in India, it will arrive as the standard Mi 11X.
The tipster who has revealed the news has spotted the evidence through a recent MIUI camera build an application in which he located that the Mi 11X Pro moniker is associated with a codename “haydn_pro_india” and it was previously linked with Redmi K40+ whereas it will launch globally as Mi 11i with the codename “haydn_pro_global”.
Redmi K40 Pro

As you all know, the market for truly wireless earphones and wireless earphones witnessed a massive hike during the coronavirus outbreak. Currently, if you observe carefully, most of us have at least a TWS earphone in our home or even more than that.
As so many bands came up with different types of attractive and useful offerings at competitive prices most of the time, the leaders have to think more about where to improve and what to introduce next.
The current listing by boAt is the result of the same. They are ready to bring a new addition to the Airdopes lineup, boAt Airdoeps 621. This time, the company added a massive battery inside that can deliver the power for up to 150 hours. In the current time, this long battery backup is the rarest for a TWS. Alongside, the case can be charged fully in just 45 minutes.
On top of that, there will be a digital battery indicator and it’s also a rare addition you hardly get with any wireless earphones. To be frank, in its huge portfolio, boAT has only one product till now with this kind of digital indicator.
Coming to the other specs, the Airdopes 621 will have 6mm drivers in each bud, IWP instant pairing technology, Bluetooth 5.0, IPX7 waterproofing, touch control, voice assistant support, and Type-C charging.
boAt didn’t reveal any detail regarding the price tag and launch date, however, there will be two color options for sure – White Frost and Active Black. Needless to say, these will be available on Amazon Indian and most probably through its official website as well post-launch.
I have recently built a Gaming PC as I always wanted to have the experience of playing games in a seamless fashion. So I was in search of a gaming keyboard that didn’t cut my pocket but would give me a good gaming experience.
I found the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard on Amazon, and from the first look itself, it seemed quite convincing. I was lucky enough to get the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard for just Rs 3,299 due to an ongoing offer. Usually, the keyboard comes around Rs 3,700.
You may think that you can get a mechanical keyboard in this price range from other companies, but the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard is a premium membrane keyboard with a premium build quality and design and gives the feel of a mechanical keyboard to some extent. The low-priced mechanical keyboards aren’t very good in the long terms, and many times, the keys come out, so you should definitely buy the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard instead of those budget mechanical keyboards. And, in case if you can spend around Rs 5,000-6,000, you can then go for the ASUS TUF K3 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard.
After using the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard for the last few months, I am here to give you a all full review of the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard and hope that when you reach the end of the article, you will get your answer as to why I called it as one of the best gaming keyboards in the market.

The Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard is pretty quiet, and the responsive keys provide a satisfying feel. The keyboard comes with a detachable soft rubber wrist rest to ensure additional comfort during marathon gaming sessions. The build and quality of the wrist rest are excellent, and you won’t find it slippery even after your hands sweat after long hours of work.
Overall, there’s almost nothing you can complain about the design and build quality of the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard. I am totally loving the experience.
Typing
Now coming to the experience which you get while typing with the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard. As you already know, I have to do a lot of typing every day, as I am doing right now to write this article. This was one of my main concerns while buying the keyboard.
After using it for quite some time, the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard hasn’t disappointed me a bit. The quiet and responsive keys of the keyboard give a satisfying feel, almost like a mechanical keyboard.
And the most important thing is that the multi-key anti-ghosting feature ensures the most accurate simultaneous key presses. So you don’t need to worry about the typing errors and write your heart out in the full flow.
Gaming
Apart from being a regular writer, I do love to play games in my pass time. As you already know, I built my gaming PC for this sole purpose. The Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard is very efficient while typing, and it won’t let you down while gaming as well.
The 6 programmable macro keys enable powerful actions, key remaps and combos which are very helpful during games. The keys are indeed very light and easy to press, and the keys snapped back quickly, which does help while gaming.
So, the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard is definitely one of the best membrane gaming keyboards in the market.
Software
The Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard features a three-zone dynamic RGB backlighting with 10+ preconfigured vivid RGB lighting modes that allow you to choose immersive lighting effects. It also has 6 programmable macro keys that enable powerful actions, key remaps and combos.
So in order to customise your keyboard, you need to download the Corsair iCUE software. Once you’ve installed the software, you’re ready to go.
You can customise the RGB lighting as per your choice and can adjust the brightness, and even turn it off as per your mood. You can also customise the 6 gaming keys from here. Through this software, you can even remap the keys. So this software allows you to do almost everything you wish for.
Pros and cons
Pros
Cons
Premium build quality and design with Standard US English layout
Non detachable cable
Programmable keys which gives a mechanical feel
Three zone RGB lighting
Comfortable wrist rest
Dedicated volume and multimedia controls
Verdict
If you are looking for a gaming keyboard for under Rs 4,000 but don’t want to compromise on the quality, then the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard is the best one for you. Despite being a membrane keyboard, it gives you almost an experience of a mechanical keyboard.
If you can spend around Rs 6,000, you can buy a mechanical keyboard, but instead of purchasing a low-cost mechanical keyboard, the Corsair K55 RGB Gaming Keyboard is the better choice. You won’t regret buying it even once.

NVIDIA has been giving the gamers some good time as they have added quite a number of games to its DLSS library in the last couple of months. Now their latest support into Unreal Engine has helped a lot of games to be developed with DLSS support out-of-the-box.
UE4 Integration Paying Off Quickly for DLSS
Just last month, NVIDIA announced that game developer could access DLSS via a plugin for Unreal Engine 4.26 (UE4), making it easier for them to add the technology to their games. Game developers are quickly taking advantage of the tech, with the new The Fabled Woods and System Shock Demo emerging as the first games to add DLSS using the plug-in (more below).
The Fabled Woods Get Ray Tracing and DLSS
Newcomer CyberPunch Studios and Headup Games implemented DLSS in The Fabled Woods in less than a day:
“Adding NVIDIA DLSS to The Fabled Woods was easy thanks to the Unreal Engine 4 plugin, and the impact it makes on performance is substantial.” Joe Bauer, Founder CyberPunch Studios. “With the Unreal Engine 4 plugin, adding DLSS to The Fabled Woods was a no-brainer; it really opens DLSS up to a whole new world of developers.”
The result was performance boosts of up to 1.6x at 4K, enabling gamers with the GeForce RTX 3070 and up to experience The Fabled Woods with maxed out settings and all ray tracing effects enabled at over 60 FPS at 3840×2160.
Impressive for just a day’s work!
The Fabled Woods launches on March 25 with ray-traced reflections, ray-traced shadows, and ray-traced global illumination (built using our optimized RTXGI SDK). With NVIDIA DLSS, frame rates are greatly accelerated, giving you smoother gameplay and the overhead to enable higher-quality effects, higher rendering resolutions, and more ray tracing, for the most immersive experience possible.
A Gaming Classic Gets a Makeover – System Shock Demo Gets DLSS
1994’s System Shock is one of the most influential ‘immersive sim’ action-adventure games of all time, and Night Dive Studios is remaking the entire game in Unreal Engine 4 so a new generation of players can experience it.
DLSS more than doubles the frame rate at 4K in the game.
“The Unreal Engine 4 plugin makes light work of adding NVIDIA DLSS to your game, in fact, we dropped it in over the weekend,” said Matthew Kenneally, Lead Engineer and title at Night Dive Studios. “Bringing System Shock to a new generation of gamers has been a labour of love for our team, and the impact NVIDIA DLSS will have on the player’s experience is undeniable.”
With this massive speed up, most GeForce RTX 30 Series desktop GPUs can max out System Shock’s graphics at 4K and play at a buttery smooth 120 FPS for an amazing experience. And at 2560×1440, every single GeForce RTX GPU can play System Shock at over 144 FPS, with most exceeding 240 FPS!
Cryteks’s Crysis got a remaster last year, bringing a fresh new look to the seminal 2007 classic shooter. With a recent patch, you get a performance boost to kick up the graphics even higher thanks to NVIDIA DLSS support.
Only GeForce RTX GPUs feature the Tensor Cores that power DLSS, and with DLSS now available in nearly 40 titles, and counting, GeForce RTX offers PC gamers the definitive gaming experience in leading triple-A titles and indie darlings.
Outriders Bundled with NVIDIA Laptops
People Can Fly, and Square Enix’s Outriders has been showered in praise since the release of its demo in February, and NVIDIA is busy helping add DLSS support to the game for the launch on April 1. NVIDIA is now offering a digital Steam copy of Outriders to buyers of eligible GeForce RTX laptops at participating partners.

While he lost the final with Arsenal in 2005/06, the Frenchman won it the very next season with Barcelona, who defeated them the year before.
4. Karim Benzema – 24 years, 99 days
Before becoming the crown jewel of Real Madrid’s attacking lineup, Benzema scored 12 goals in the Champions League for Lyon, his hometown club. With last night’s goal against Atalanta, Benzema now has 70 goals in the Champions League and is one of the highest scorers in the history of the competition now.
3. Raúl – 23 years 252 days
Another legendary Real Madrid forward, Raul was initially an Atletico Madrid player but was released and then chose to join their city rivals. He since went on to lift the Champions League trophy thrice and has scored over 70 goals in the tournament.
2. Lionel Messi – 22 years 286 days
Up until this season, Messi was the youngest player to ever score 25 goals in the Champions League.
