Lionel Messi honours Diego Maradona with moving tribute

Barcelona’s weekend outing against Osasuna resulted in a 4-0 victory in favour of the hosts. Martin Braithwaite opened the scoring for the Catalonians in the 29th minute, scoring his first goal at Camp Nou in the process. 

Antoine Griezmann joined the Dane on the scoresheet shortly before half time to put Barcelona 2-0 up at the break. The France international set up a goal for Philippe Coutinho in the 57th minute to put Barca 3 goals in front. 

However, the best moment of the match came in the 73rd minute when Lionel Messi managed to score a goal from open play this season, netting home a cool layoff from Trincao to score the last goal of the game. 

Clubs all across Europe are having a moment’s silence in the memory of the recently departed legend, Diego Maradona. Leo Messi went an extra mile to honour his former manager with his goal celebration. 

Where one legendary career ended, another began. Newell’s Old Boys was the last club that Maradona played for before hanging up his boots for good. The Argentine club was the place where Leo Messi started playing football before signing for Barcelona. 

To the surprise of fans watching at home, as well as his teammates, Leo Messi put on a Newell’s Old Boys shirt with the number 10 at the back to celebrate. An emotional La Pulga pointed towards the sky in memory of Maradona. 

Messi has rejected comparisons to Maradona, saying that the World Cup winner is the best there was, and the best there ever will be. He was also heralded as the heir of the legendary Maradona when he first started out his remarkable career. 

Maradona was Argentina’s knight in shining armour as he led the country to the 1986 World Cup almost all alone. While Messi has not managed to make it to the same level for Argentina, the 33-year-old has shone throughout his career for Barcelona, a club that Maradona once played for himself.

Zidane takes full responsibility for shock defeat at Alaves: What lies next for Real Madrid?

Real Madrid suffered a shock defeat to Alaves as the visitors managed to see out the 90 minutes 2-1. Many of the regular Madrid starters made the team sheet, with a midfield of Kroos, Casemiro and Modric dictating things from the heart of the park. 

Alaves went ahead five minutes into the game, converting a penalty to get the lead. They doubled their lead shortly after half time with Joselu making it to the scoresheet, capitalising on a woeful error by Courtois. 

Casemiro managed to pull one back for the reigning champions with four minutes plus injury time to go. However, it was all in vain. 

The defeat now sees Madrid fall to fourth with 17 points from 10 games played. Zinedine Zidane was quite reflective following the shocking loss to Alaves, and took the blame upon himself, saying:

“I have no explanation for tonight. We’ve had good and bad moments in games like today’s. Especially at the beginning, when they scored a goal after three minutes. We had time to get back into the game and then things got very tough for us and it became difficult.”

“Just like the other day in Milan, we played a good game today, but three days later, it’s tough to play a game like this at home, but that’s the reality of today. “

“What we’re going to do is keep working, trying to get all the players back and then change the dynamics. We don’t have the consistency in our matches or in our results”.

The Frenchman believes Eden Hazard’s injury is simply a knock, and that the winger won’t miss any more games. 

Although most of the regulars were in the team, Madrid lacked leadership at the back and Sergio Ramos’ absence was felt heavily. Los Blancos conceded their fifth penalty in three games after the hat-trick of penalties taken against them in Valencia. 

Zidane must find a way to motivate the players and get the best out of them if they are to achieve something at the end of the season. Tightening up the defense like he did last season could be the key to Zidane’s problems with Madrid’s consistency.

Edinson Cavani announces his arrival at Manchester United in style

Manchester United’s new signing Edinson Cavani finally proves his worth as Manchester United came back from 2 goals down in the first half to a 3-2 win in the second half against Southampton. Edinson Cavani scored 2 goals and set up one for Bruno Fernandes after coming on as a substitute in the half time in place of Mason Greenwood.

Manchester United travelled to St Mary’s Stadium to face Southampton FC in the Premier League. Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer started with a 4-1-2-1-2 formation with a diamond in midfield. Anthony Martial was out of this game with an injury and Mason Greenwood started this game along with Marcus Rashford.

In the 23rd minute, Jan Bednarek scored for the home side as he tucked the ball into the net from a corner. Southampton doubled their lead with a stunning free-kick by James Ward-Prowse at 33rd minute.

Manchester answered back in the second half as Bruno Fernandes scored the first goal in the 59th minute from the cross of Cavani. After that Edinson Cavani scored a brace and Manchester United won it again in the ‘Fergie Time’.

After the match, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said, “After the first half, we played well again. It’s one of those that when you win, they don’t really matter. At the end I was so proud at 2-2 because we did so well. This team is getting better and better and improving which is what I want to see. We are fit.”

Manchester United was highly criticized after they signed the 33-year-old in the last summer. Some pundits termed it as a ‘Panic buy’. But Manchester United was missing a proper ‘Number 9’ quality upfront last season. Edinson Cavani will surely fill up that void.

Gerard Pique dreams of being Barcelona President one day

Gerard Pique is one of Barcelona’s most loyal players. The player came through the ranks at La Masia and was eventually moved on to Manchester United. After spending four years at the Theatre of Dreams, the centre-back was brought back home by Barcelona in 2008. 

He has since become a cornerstone in Barcelona’s backline, featuring in the starting XI for over a decade. Pique is without a doubt their best centre-back as of now, although he is currently out with an injury. 

The veteran defender is currently 33 years old, and recently signed a contract extension with the Blaugrana that extended his tenure with the club till 2024.

Pique was asked about the possibility of one day becoming the President of the club, and here is what he had to say:

“Not in the upcoming elections because I can’t. I’m still a player and when you’re a player you can’t stand, but in the future you never know. I’m a massive Barcelona fan, as you all know.”

“I’d like to help the club I love in the best way I know how, and that means being really well prepared to be president, if one day I think I can contribute something. If not I won’t put myself forward. It’s something I’ll decide in the future, it’s a dream I’ve always had, but I don’t know if it will happen in the future.”

Barcelona have been in a precarious position on the field, as well as the management of the club. Although they recently agreed on a wage cut among their players, Barcelona have a long way to go in order to restore their glorious status on a consistent basis. 

Former President Josep Maria Bartomeu resigned from his post following a no-confidence vote passed in his favour. The Barcelona Presidential elections to determine the next man in charge will be held in 2021.

Barcelona celebrate their 121st anniversary in style + a look back at the past

Barcelona celebrated their 121st anniversary as a club in the best way possible, defeating Osasuna 4-0 at home. Goals from Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Philippe Coutinho put Barcelona ahead. Martin Braithwaite also managed to score his first goal for Barcelona at Camp Nou.  

While the club might not be at the level that they were in recent years, the Blaugrana heritage goes back a century, and they have a lot to be proud of. 

Some of the best players in the world have had the honour of representing Barcelona, with the likes of Ronaldinho, Thierry Henry, Carles Puyol, Diego Maradona, Iniesta, Xavi and Leo Messi all donning the Blaugrana shirt throughout their careers. 

Barcelona are one of the most successful clubs in the world. They have won the Champions League trophy on 5 different occasions, reaching the peak of European competition most recently in 2015.

Behind Real Madrid, they are the most successful club in Spain, having won the La Liga trophy 26 times. By the numbers, their fate in the League Cup has been more successful, winning the Spanish Cup 30 times. 

Barcelona have also managed to win the Spanish Super Cup 13 times, the UEFA Super Cup 5 times and the FIFA Club World Club thrice. 

When the 2010s began, Barcelona were on a level of their own, with former player Pep Guardiola taking the reigns at the club he once played for. Guardiola’s Tiki Taka philosophy proved to be absolutely revolutionary at the club. The advent of a plethora of talented La Masia graduates also strengthened the club.

However, by the end of the last decade, Barcelona became a shadow of their former selves. Multiple shameful exits from the Champions League in successive seasons have tarnished their reputation. 

Add to the mix the things that have taken place off the pitch, such as the massive hate against Josep Maria Bartomeu, the financial mismanagement, and the Messi transfer saga that dominated headlines this summer, and it becomes clear that this is the most tumultuous time in Barcelona’s history. 

For all the glorious years gone by, fans will be hoping that the club can reach the heights that were once normal for them on a regular basis.

Finally, Lenovo is launching the Legion 5 with AMD Ryzen 4000H processors in India

Although it has been a year since the original announcement of AMD Ryzen 4000H processors, Lenovo wants to impress its fans with its Legion 5 RYZEN Edition

If you are a gaming laptop lover or a fan, then among the handful of gaming laptops launched with AMD Ryzen 4000H processors, Lenovo’s Legion 5 is one of the best to go for. However, the sad thing is Lenovo never made it available in India which has indeed hurt a lot of AMD fans out there.

Interestingly, Lenovo named its Legion 5 gaming laptop dedicated to the AMD variant whereas the Intel variant was named Legion 5i, that was launched months ago. The biggest reason why Lenovo was unable to bring the laptop earlier because of the COVID-19 pandemic that increased the demand for laptops and also made AMD’s time difficult in managing with the stocks of Ryzen 4000H processors.

Good news AMD fans, Lenovo launches new gaming laptops with Ryzen 4000H processors starting at $660

Indeed, AMD Ryzen 4000 series changed the fate of AMD in the laptop market totally but also made fans unhappy due to the high prices and availability issues. Now, when AMD is about to launch its Ryzen 5000 series processors for mobile, in CES 2021, Lenovo is bringing the Legion 5 in India.

However, this could a great option for those who are looking for a new gaming laptop this holiday season. The Lenovo Legion 5 is identical to its Intel variant and having those powerful AMD chips makes it even more lucrative. Lenovo India’s recent cryptic tweet confirms the fact that it is going to bring the Legion 5 Ryzen Edition soon:

Specifications

The Legion 5 gaming laptop comes in two sizes – 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch variants but with the same Full HD (1920 x 1080) wide-viewing angle displays with 144Hz smooth refresh rate.

The gaming laptop will be powered by either the 8 core/ 16 threaded AMD Ryzen 7 4800H processor or by the 6 core/ 12 threaded AMD Ryzen 5 4600H processor. Lenovo says the display supports Dolby Vision and is paired with up to 16 GB 3200 MHz DDR4 memory, 1 TB PCIe SSD of storage.

The Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0 helps you tune the thermals and the laptop available in sleek Phantom Black colour. On the graphics front, up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics, however, there’s a doubt if Lenovo will bring the RTX 2060 graphics variant to India. With Ryzen 4000H and NVIDIA graphics, you can get great gaming performance because of AMD’s efficient processor and a decent NVIDIA GPU.

For audio, there’s the Harman Kardon Speaker System with acoustics chamber and immersive Dolby Atmos audio support as well. The Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboard comes with up to 1.5mm key travel for smooth typing experience, and it’s a white backlit keyboard that offers 100% anti-ghosting and soft-landing switches. On the connectivity front, you have both WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 support.

Barcelona get a comfortable 4-0 win against Osasuna but at the cost of Lenglet

Barcelona, under new manager Ronald Koeman, was not getting the results they were hoping for despite some good performances on the pitch. They were languishing in the half of the table.

Tonight against Osasuna they were on top from the very start. It was a dominating display from the Blaugranas. Braithwaite, Griezmann, Coutinho and Messi all got on the scoresheet. Messi celebrated by taking off his shirt and revealing a Newell’s shirt with number 10 written on it as a tribute to Maradona.

Barcelona started the game against Osasuna with just one fit first-team centre back, Clement Lenglet. The Frenchman paired with Oscar Mingueza in the heart of the defence, while Frenkie de Jong was deployed as part of the double pivot alongside Pedri.

But Clement Lenglet got injured after winning a header. His right foot stretched away from his body following which his ankle twisted as he landed after heading the ball.

The 25-year-old was forced to be taken off and was replaced by Carles Aleña as De Jong moved into the backline to partner Mingueza.

Barcelona will have real defensive issues right now as Pique, Umtiti and Lenglet all are out injured. There have been many injuries in all the leagues and this season’s football schedule has been pointed out as the sole reason for the numerous injuries.

Griezmann, who got on the scoresheet on the 43rd minute, celebrated in a different manner this time. He said in post-interview: “This morning I was having breakfast with my daughter. I asked her how she would like me to celebrate if I scored a goal. She told me to do this and that’s how it was.”

“It was important to win because those at the top win. La Liga is very long and it is a difficult road, but with what we have done today we have shown that we have things to fight.”

“I’m happy with the team’s display, and the goal that I scored today. We want to win the title, and we know very well that it is not easy.”

Intel’s Ice Lake-SP Xeon appears in an early benchmark, is on par with Core i9-10900K in single-core results

Intel’s upcoming Ice Lake-SP Xeon line-up will be released next year, but recently a series of benchmark results of the processor has been leaked. The results show the CPU having 14 cores and 28 threads. The processor is based on Intel’s new Ice Lake 10nm+’ Sunny Cove’ core architecture.

According to sources, the CPU which appeared on the benchmark is an early engineering state model. It features 14 cores and 28 threads, along with 17.5 MB of L2 and 21 MB of L3 cache onboard. Reports claim that the chip has a base clock of 2.0 GHz and a boost clock of 4.0 GHz. But the actual boost operating range of the CPU is between 1.8 to 2.0 GHz when operating on all cores.

  • xeon scalable 2x1 2 Intel's Ice Lake-SP Xeon appears in an early benchmark, is on par with Core i9-10900K in single-core results

The Xeon Silver Ice Lake-SP CPU comes with a TDP of 165W. It has a maximum operating temperature range of 105C. According to sources, the chip is a part of the Xeon Silver 4300 line-up and could be used in the LGA 4189-5 socket.

On the benchmark results, the Intel Ice Lake-SP Xeon CPU scores a decent 553.1 points in a single-core and 10038.4 points in the multi-core test. However, it’s single-core results put the chip neck-to-neck with a Core i9-10900K. the Core i9-10900K is reportedly Intel’s fastest gaming chip that boosts up to 5.3 GHz. In terms of multi-core tests, the Xeon-SP ES CPU is about as fast as the Ryzen 9 3950X, which is a 16 core and 32 thread part.

  • Intel Ice Lake SP Xeon ES CPU 14 Cores 28 Threads Xeon Silver 4300 Leaked Benchmarks 1 Intel's Ice Lake-SP Xeon appears in an early benchmark, is on par with Core i9-10900K in single-core results

However, since the benchmark platform CPU-z version uses AVX-512, it could have been a major contributor to Intel’s performance boost. Without the support of AVX-512 acceleration, Intel’s Ice Lake-SP Xeon ES CPU is much slower, scoring just 371.6 points in single-core and 6363 points in multi-threaded tests.

Major features of 10nm+ Ice Lake-SP Xeon CPU includes:

  • 2.7x density scaling vs. 14nm
  • Self-aligned Quad-Patterning
  • Contact Over Active Gate
  • Cobalt Interconnect (M0, M1)
  • 1st Gen Foveros 3D Stacking
  • 2nd Gen EMIB

It would be worth seeing how the new chip from Intel would fair against AMD’s beast of a processor; it’s 7nm based EPYC Milan line-up that has it’s brand new 7nm Zen 3 core architecture.
