Real Madrid feeling Ronaldo’s absence in front of the goal and Bale suffers another injury

2

Real Madrid’s lack of incision is a real cause for concern. For the first time since Cristiano Ronaldo left for Juventus, Real Madrid missed him. And Gareth Bale suffered another injury in the meantime.

In a goalless draw at home against city rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday, the Los Blancos looked blunt, failing to score for the second game running. Julen Lopetegui’s side was humiliated 3-0 by Sevilla on Wednesday. They were aiming to bounce back strongly against Atletico Madrid. But they had no cutting edge and ended up playing their part in a dour draw. Big players like Cristiano Ronaldo, show up in the big games. But his departure to Juventus in the summer, left a huge gap in the Real Madrid squad. They felt his absence in front of the goal. They lacked that penetration of Ronaldo.

 

 

Gareth Bale was the man supposed to take the throne in the absence of Real’s all-time top goalscorer. But unfortunately and predictably, the Welshman suffered a thigh injury and had to be replaced at half-time. Bale’s early performances this season showed plenty of promise. He has three goals under his belt already. Bale was the  only attacking outlet for Real Madrid against Sevilla. He hit the post at one point. And against Atletico Madrid he sent an effort inches wide in the first half. But to the surprise of the fans he did not reappear for the second half. The young midfielder Dani Ceballos stepped into his shoes. The news that all Madrid fans were dreading emerged soon after.

 

Gareth Bale is injured again.

Isco is sidelined for potentially a month after having his appendix removed. Therefore Real Madrid are already short on creativity. So Bale’s latest injury-enforced absence thus comes as a devastating blow.

Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui said after the game that Bale would be assessed on Sunday. “Bale had discomfort in his abductor at half-time and as a precaution he didn’t come out for the second half.” said Lopetegui. Real Madrid will be hoping the damage is not serious, with a crucial match against Barcelona in La Liga approaching on October 28.

Ultimately, Real Madrid’s toothlessness in front of goal have cost them dearly. There is already a real danger of it becoming the recurring theme of the post-Ronaldo era.

The new iPhone XS has some serious problems

Have you purchased a new iPhone XS or an iPhone XS Max? Is your phone charging while its sleep? Then you are saved because many users cannot even charge the world’s current best smartphone – the iPhone XS

Apple recently announced the iPhone XS and XS Max, which are already been used by many of the enthusiasts. Consumers have started buying the new iPhones as hot cakes, because of their bold new look and obviously due to enhanced performance and other feature upgrades.

But consumers are facing nightmares after investing more than $1000 on their new iPhones. Want to know more? Read our full post:

 

The new iPhone XS has some serious problems
An image from Unbox Therapy’s video

 

Charging Problems

Well, the issue with the world’s current best smartphone is that – the new iPhone XS and XS Max both seem to be dumb while charging it via lightning cable(the one provided by Apple). It is claimed by hundreds and thousands of people via different Forums, Reddit and other social media that –

 

when they are plugging in the cable while the smartphone is in the locked state, the iPhone seems to be dumb and is not charging at all until you just unlock it

 

Isn’t this sound strange? An iPhone seems to be dumb while it’s getting charged via its cable. Its impossible for a man to put his iPhone in charging state and keep staring at it so that it gets charged properly…

 

The new iPhone XS has some serious problems
All the iPhones brought to test by Unbox Therapy

 

What the Unbox Therapy has to say?

Many people complained this and only a few believed and brought this problem to the limelight. But famous YouTuber and the creator of Unbox Therapy aka Lewis Hilsenteger pointed out yesterday the truth in his video.

He reportedly was using the wireless charging to charge his new iPhones, so he did not notice any flaw until he started using the lightning cable. The default wall charger that comes with the iPhone out-of-the-box was not the only charger that was unable to charge the iPhone but also any charger could not even charge it up.

 

No Title

No Description

 

Lewis bought 8 iPhones including the different variants of iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. In his video, we can see only 2 of them charged when the smartphone was in a locked state. That’s ridiculous!! Others could only charge itself if and only if the smartphone screen was awake.

Five of the reaming 6 iPhones(two iPhone XS & three iPhones XS Max) charged up with the wall charger only if the screen remained awake. One of the iPhone XS models would not even charge at any circumstances with any charging cable.

 

The new iPhone XS has some serious problems
Only 2 iPhones started charging right away

 

Even one iPhone XS Max was not detecting any switches when it was plugged in with the charger! It eventually afterwards was not charging at all!!!

Some users have found that flipping the Lightning cable over can help (that suggests a hardware flaw in the Lightning port).

 

The new iPhone XS has some serious problems
The one that would not even charge at any cost

 

When you are spending $1000 and more, you expect a premium smartphone and as this is an iPhone, you expect a good product from the Trillion dollar company.

Any other issue could just be digested, but the primary charging issue is a damn bigger one. Even a $100 smartphone won’t just give such a nasty trouble.

The new iPhone XS has some serious problems
Some iPhones need to be awake to get charged

 

Any solutions?

Now, with more and more customer feedbacks, Apple seems to be silent, even, no one from Apple answered to the problems of the customers who have questioned them in the forums.

But one poster from Apple support communities reports that Apple’s tech team is aware of the issue. They also suggest that this could be a major hardware problem that can likely be solved by replacing the device. Also, it might the new iOS 12 that might cause this fatal problem.

 

The new iPhone XS has some serious problems
Spending 1000s of dollars to face this nasty issue seems disgusting for Apple users

 

For now, you do not have any other option except wireless charging. Because people are saying that even after the phones getting replaced, people are facing the same old stupid problem.

Too much wireless charging can also degrade your iPhone’s battery health. And as Apple has been charging higher prices for iPhone XS and XS Max replacement batteries, so you can’t do that much often.

 

The new iPhone XS has some serious problems
No words have been disclosed by Apple officials still now

 

So, now currently its advised to you to not to buy any of the iPhone XS or XS Max until and unless this issue gets solved. Also, a solution to this major issue requires a lot of time. And even, who knows that later the colourful iPhone XR might also face similar problems.

Share this article to those who are planning to buy the new iPhone and warn people about what’s happening with the “world’s most advanced smartphone.”

 Kerala Blasters had last beaten ATK, then Atletico de Kolkata, in the inaugural season of ISL on November 21.

Barcelona and Real Madrid both lost their La Liga matches on Matchday 6

0

La Liga champions Barcelona slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at struggling Leganes. And then Real Madrid were resoundingly beaten 3-0 by Sevilla on Wednesday. Both the Spanish powerhouses lost on the same day for the first time since January, 2015.

 

Barcelona squandered an early Philippe Coutinho goal and lost 2-1 to last place Leganes. It’s bad, but it’s nothing compared to the indignity suffered by three-time defending UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid. They were on the wrong end of a 3-0 mauling on the road against Sevilla. It marked the first time both clubs — who have between them won the last five Champions League titles and six of the last eight — lost on the same day in almost four years.

 

 

Barcelona’s downfall

Barcelona’s loss came as Lionel Messi made his 700th appearance with the club, including 55 unofficial games. Messi’s celebration of his milestone match with the Catalan club was marred by a Leganes team which had only one point from its first five league games and was coming off three straight losses. The club from Madrid’s suburbs had never earned a point against Barcelona in its three seasons in the first division.

 

 

Nabil El Zhar headed home a looping cross in the 52nd minute to cancel out Coutinho’s goal. And barely 60 seconds later, Oscar Rodriguez scored thw winner to the joy of the 12,000 fans crammed into Butarque Stadium. Oscar is a former member of Real Madrid’s youth teams who is on loan with Leganes. It came after a bad mistake by Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, who gave the ball away while trying to clear it from inside the area.

It was the second consecutive setback for the defending champions. “We lost five points in three days.” Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde said. “Sometimes it’s difficult to explain what happens in a game. You have a game under control and then the opposition can do damage like they (Leganes) did in one minute.” Valverde added. “We wanted to get the second goal because a one goal lead is never enough. At 1-0 you’re close to an accident. We didn’t create the chances we’d have liked. That’s five points in three days gone and it’s difficult to explain.”

 

 

 

Real Madrid’s humiliating defeat

Barcelona’s unexpected loss handed Real Madrid the chance to move three points clear at the top of the table. But the European champions were outclassed by a rampant Sevilla. They scored all their goals in a livewire first half to inflict a first league defeat on Real Madrid under their new coach Julen Lopetegui.

Portugal forward Andre Silva scored in the 17th and 21st minutes to take his league-leading tally to six goals. And Wissam Ben Yedder added another in the 39th to leave Sevilla in control at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.

 

 

Luka Modric’s goal early in the second half wascancelled after VAR showed he was offside. Marcelo appeared to injure a muscle midway through the second half but coach Julen Lopetegui had already made all three substitutions. So it left Real Madrid with 10 men on the pitch. All these resulted in their humiliating 3-0 defeat.

“It’s simple, we gave it away in the first half. Then it was impossible to come back.” Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro said. “We came here with the aim of putting pressure on Sevilla and we couldn’t do it as we wanted to, that’s obvious, and Sevilla were the far superior side.” Lopetegui told reporters. “Sevilla was better and deserved to win.” Lopetegui added. “We didn’t start the way we wanted and paid for it by conceding two quick goals.”

 

In January 2015, Real Madrid were beaten by Valencia, while Luis Enrique’s Barcelona side were downed by Real Sociedad. After almost 4 years Real Madrid and Barcelona were beaten on the same matchday in La Liga.
