EA Sports has already confirmed the fact that FUT 21 will have over 100 Icons. A whopping 100 different Icon cards will be available in-game both via packs and the transfer market. This is almost 12 more than FUT 20.
Petr Cech is now the technical and performance advisor for Chelsea. He is considered as one of the greatest goalkeepers in European history and to be the greatest goalkeeper in Premier League history, alongside Peter Schmeichel.
Cech played 11 seasons at Chelsea winning 4 Premier League titles and 1 Champions League trophy before joining Arsenal and playing 4 seasons before retiring from professional football.
The fans are loving the idea of having Petr Cech as an Icon from FIFA 21 onwards. It remains to be seen what in-game ratings he gets from EA.
The leaked renders of Microsoft Surface Duo has appeared from a trusted source, Evleaks. These are a new set of renders and this device has been announced by Microsoft last year in October. After that a lot of renders have appeared revealing the design of the device and few specs.
These sets of renders have shown the opening of the Microsoft Surface Duo and there at the top front, we can see the Microsoft logo. This device will not have a continuous screen like the Galaxy Fold device but two separate screens combined in a device.
Inside the device you can see the google search widget and time widget. There are all the necessary Microsoft apps in the device. There is a single camera inside placed on the top bezel of the right screen and beside it we can see a sensor.
Previously we have also seen Microsoft Surface Duo will have a :app group”feature that will allow users to open more than one app at a time and work on them allover the screen at the same time.
The device was scheduled to launch in July this year but got delayed but Microsoft has reportedly invited its MVPs to attend a virtual briefing for the Surface Duo on August 12, meaning the Redmond-based tech giant could release the foldable smartphone this month.
Evleaks has also mentioned in his post that this is an AT&T model and there might be some minor changes in the final product. Though the allover design will remain same as reported.
Barcelona hosted Napoli at the Camp Nou for the Champions League round of 16 second-leg tie. The score from the first-leg was 1-1 and everyone expected an evenly contested match.
But when you have a magician like Lionel Messi in your team, no club can match your level irrespective of how defensively good they are. Messi magic was in full flow in the first half of the match. Messi was almost everywhere on the pitch.
Messi scored an almost impossible second goal for Barcelona. He dribbled past two defenders and somehow got the ball back in the penalty area. Despite being horribly off balance (for a normal player cause Messi can literally fall down and score a screamer), Messi fired the ball low into the net while falling down. It was a class act from the Argentine.
His next goal was ruled out for handball, but he cleverly won the penalty for Barca’s third goal of the night. He came from behind and took a heavy knock from Koulibaly but was successful in claiming a penalty which Suarez calmly converted into a goal.
Napoli was way better from the end of the first half as Insigne scored from the spot and Callejon was almost on the verge of adding another before the half-time whistle. They started the second half with full of energy and motivation but was finally beaten 3-1 by Messi’s brilliance.
It seems an 11-man team can’t do in 90 minutes what Lionel Messi alone can do in 20-30 minutes. That’s why he is considered the best player in the world.
Barcelona progressed to the ‘Final Eight’ tournament in Lisbon and on their way to the Champions League quarter-finals, they have beaten their own record.
The Blaugranas have reached the quarter-finals for a record 13th successive time. The last time they were knocked out of the Champions League before the quarter-finals was way back in the 2006-07 season when Premier League side Liverpool eliminated Frank Rijkaard’s Barcelona in the round of 16.
No other club in Europe has been able to put together a run of more than eight seasons in a row qualifying for the Champions League quarter-finals. Barcelona has a monopoly over this record and they are breaking their own record every season since the last 4 seasons.
Lionel Messi’s Barcelona will now face Robert Lewandowski’s Bayern Munich on Friday. And a good thing for all the Barcelona fans is that all the next rounds will be a single leg affair so they won’t have to play any second leg.

Last night, Messi played an unimaginable football for which we die to watch him with the ball and the magic from the little magician has created yet another record for him. With that amazing goal against Napoli, Leo Messi now holds the record for scoring against 35 different teams in the Champions League.
This is not an easy job, but nothing is impossible for Leo, making a record against such high-rated European clubs require astronomical qualities and traits. Messi has scored against various teams from Germany, Spain, France, England, Italy, Portugal and even Belarus, Cyprus, Denmark and Ukraine.
The 33-year old has faced forty teams in the Champions League but hasn’t been able to score against five of them including Rubin Kazan, Atlético Madrid, Benfica, Udinese, and Inter Milan. Obviously, in the coming years, the Argentinian will not forgive, but until then he can celebrate his new achievement, which is he quite used to.
He is chased by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul González who scored against 33 different teams each, while both Karim Benzema and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have 29 teams on their list. Messi’s number one target over the years in the Champions League has been Arsenal, with nine goals in six games, followed by AC Milan and Celtic (8 each).
Robert Lewandowski is having a phenomenal season! After winning Bayern’s 8th successive Bundesliga title, he is determined to succeed in Europe.
Bayern Munich faced Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16. They have ruthlessly routed Chelsea on their way to the ‘Final Eight’ tournament in Lisbon. Robert Lewandowski has almost single-handedly beaten Frank Lampard’s side. The aggregate score after the second-leg is 7-1 after starting the tie on 3-0 score from the first-leg.
Surprisingly, Lewandowski has been involved in all of the 7 Bayern goals against Chelsea. He scored 3 goals and provided 4 assists over the two-legged tie.
Lewandowski has become the first player in 16 years to achieve this feat of 3+ goals and assists in a Champions League match after Luis Figo did it for Real Madrid against AS Roma in the 2004-05 season.
7 – Robert Lewandowski was involved in all seven of Bayern Munich's goals against Chelsea in the Champions League this season (3 goals, 4 assists). He was the first player to register 3+ goals and assists against an opponent in a season since Luis Figo in 2004/05 vs Roma. Heaven. pic.twitter.com/6YnMObD34i
Robert Lewandowski has now scored 13 goals in the Champions League this season. He has already entered into the Champions League elite club this season as no player other than Messi and Ronaldo has scored 13+ goals in a single Champions League campaign. Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record for the highest no of goals with 17 goals.
Robert Lewandowski is the first player not named Ronaldo or Messi to hit 13+ goals in a single #UCL season.
Lewandowski may well have a go for the record but he will only get a maximum of 3 matches, instead of five, if Bayern manages to reach the final. And if he manages to achieve the record or win the Champions League, then he would surely feel he has been robbed of the Ballon d’Or award as France Football has cancelled the 2020 edition of the award due to the pandemic. The Poland striker has arguably been the best player in the world this season.
The La Masia product has declined to renew his contract at the club which Pep openly admitted. Also, it’s no brainer that his next possible destination is Barcelona, so the club has set a price tag on him of €23 million according to Diario Sport.
The 19-year old is a highly rated young defender who can be a great addition to Barca’s weak defense, especially after Umtiti’s injury problems. The club wants to bring in Garcia and now having known the price tag, the Blaugranas have a decision to make this summer transfer window.
García’s contract expires at Manchester City at the end of 2020-21 season, after which he could be a free agent. But, the Spaniard wants to return to Barcelona this summer and the price tag is quite justified but the problem is with the club’s financial situation.
Cashing on Eric García will be fruitful for Barcelona as well if they can get rid of Samuel Umtiti and other players to strike a balance in the squad. Tha Blaugranas need to reshuffle quite a lot this summer and raise some funds to make the proper signings this time, except going big for Lautaro.
The 19-year old player is in radar for various clubs across Europe and now having know the price tag, FC Barcelona should face some competition. So, bringing a player like García’s calibre is very important for the Catalan giants and the board should focus on that this summer.

Yesterday’s game against Napoli at Camp Nou was a tricky one for Barcelona, who had to do keep the balance between attack and defense to keep Napoli onto their toes. In the first opening minutes, Napoli was looking decisive breaking into attacks, however, Mertens couldn’t find the net.
Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Semedo, Piqué, Lenglet, Jordi Alba, Sergio Roberto, Ivan Rakitic, Frenkie De Jong, Messi, Suárez (Firpo 90’+2), Griezmann (Monchu 84’)
As the game went on FC Barcelona looked much more confident and then the first goal came from Clement Lenglet who managed to shove the Napoli defense to get net the first goal. Barca looked much more dominant after that and eventually, thanks to Messi’s heroics, we got an incredible second goal.
Only Messi could have scored such a stunning goal even if he was falling to the ground. This made the team even more confident which did actually helped for the third goal, thanks to the VAR, Messi’s goal was disallowed.
In the ‘actual third goal’ Messi was again involved, giving Koulibaly some hard time, who eventually got stunned and almost ripped apart the Barca captain’s leg. He had nothing to do but to give away a penalty which Saurez just nailed it into the top right-hand corner to make 3-0.
In the dying minutes of the added time in the first half, Rakitic made a clumsy tackle on Mertens in the penalty box to concede one. Insigne, who was made to play yesterday even if he got injured in his last game, took the penalty decisively, giving Ter Stegan no option at all. The 3-1 scoreline gave Napoli the belief to fight into the second half.
The second half wasn’t actually the Barca we are used to watching as there were no threats coming from attacks. Napoli, however, had chances but somehow couldn’t convert into goals, who also looked out of rhythm like Barca.
By the time Setien made any substitutes, Gattuso made all of them, which however bring in some spark, not enough to find the net. For Barca, Monchu and Firpo were introduced, which should have been done earlier. Barcelona totally looked exhausted and Setien should have brought in Riqui Puig or Ansu Fati to bring in some spark.
But Setien chose to defend Napoli, who looked to have given the hope in the last ten minutes of the game. Passing the ball among themselves to spend the time is not the Barca we know who are always craved for goals.
After the final whistle, it almost looked a job done instead of an emphatic win, which their next opponent Bayern Munich was enjoying at the Allianz Arena. Barcelona will be facing the Bundesliga champions, who are the favorites this season with their amazing form, in Lisbon next week.
You all know that TikTik is currently the most controversial application around the globe. The reason is its security issues and the alleged connection with the Chinese government. Due to this, it already got banned in India at the end of June, and under processing in the US.
Despite these, it tops the most downloaded application list of July, and it’s for both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The combined download count is 65.2 million. The position of this app remains the same as of June. Within the top 5 in this list, there are the other common applications – WhatsApp, Instagram, and Zoom.
Chert and Analysis by – SensorTower
As the ban imposed on this app in India, two similar apps come up within the top 10 applications. Though one was there earlier. The application name is Like. It comes in the 9th position in the Google Play Store download list as well as the overall download list.
The second application is named Snack Video. It comes 8th in the list with 28.8 million downloads. Needless to sat, this is for the first time it comes within the top 10 downloaded applications.
A Realme phone has been spotted on the Geekbench website where it comes with a model number RMX-2189, which is clearly the model number of the Realme C12. The listing reveals few important specs, where it reveals that the phone will come with a MediaTek Helio G35 processor and this listing has popped up with a 3GB of RAM for the device.
Geekbench listing also reveals that the phone will run on Android 10.
There is a more probability of the Realme C12 to launch instead of Realme C15 because the phone has already received the BIS certification.
BIS certification included the model number RMX2189 which is of the Realme C12. Previously the brand has also launched the C11 in India and now the C12 seems to be an upgraded version of the C11.
Our recent article mentioned that the Realme C12 will come with a 6,000mAh battery like the Realme C15, but this one will be an intermediate between the Realme C11 and 15, both in price and specification.
Realme C12 is already certified in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and China, and these are the main markets of the brand in all over the world. The next platform will be India, but the smartphone has not appeared in the BIS certification yet. The phone has been spotted with charging rates of 5V at 2A, or just 10W, and this is not fast charging.
