Isco: I’m not joining Barca Ronaldo fired a hat-trick as Madrid saw off their city rivals at the Vicente Calderon in November, part of a 26-goal haul in all competitions for the four-time Ballon d’Or winner this season. The 32-year-old was rested for Wednesday’s 4-2 win at Leganes and is set to take centre stage once more, having scored 18 times in 26 previous derby appearances. “He knows, as we all do, but even more so Cristiano, that in the big games he is always there,” Zidane told a pre-match news conference....

Concerns regarding the Portuguese’s participation against Liverpool on 26 May were raised after he was substituted at half-time during Sunday’s draw with Barcelona having taken a knock to the ankle during the first period. Zidane eased those fears somewhat with the news that his prized asset had only suffered a sprain, and Ronaldo himself was back at Madrid’s training ground on Monday to begin his recovery. That led to Zidane believing his top scorer would be available in Kiev while he also confirmed that he expects Dani Carvajal and Isco to be fit for the clash in Kiev....

Royals are currently placed at the seventh spot with eight points from 11 games and would be looking to take confidence from their three-wicket win at the Eden Gardens in their last encounter. However, they would be missing the likes of Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer who have flown back to England to join the national side for the World Cup camp. On the other hand, SRH, placed at the fourth spot with five wins from 10 games, would want to leave behind the six-wicket win against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and return to winning ways....

A new player in the streaming world, Paramount+, has announced dozens of shows including updates of the animated favorite and the iconic sitcom Frasier.

A woman under the username u/festus982 posed the question to Reddit’s r/AmITheA**hole forum, “AITA for yelling at my friend because she revealed the paternity of my son to his biological father and his family after I asked her not to?” The viral post has over 10,000 upvotes and 1,000 comments. The Redditor began her story by explaining that she became pregnant and the baby was her ex’s. He was honest with her and told her that he didn’t want to be a child as he was “too selfish....

Dota 2 remains one of Valve’s most successful ongoing efforts. The MOBA and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive take turns being the most-played game on Steam. In addition, The International remains one of the most-watched esports events in the world, and there was even a Dota 2 cartoon released in 2021 that proved popular. That Valve would want to continue to expand on Dota 2 should certainly come as no surprise, especially considering IceFrog remains a Valve employee....

If this were a war then humanity’s rotten relation might already have won. Indeed, nothing seems to wins hearts and minds, quite like an entrée of actual hearts and minds. Luckily, the folks behind open-world survival title RUST don’t see things quite so gravely. In fact, they’re wiping out the moaning monsters for good. Announced via the official RUST website earlier this week, the game’s (which hails from the creator of Garry’s Mod) latest update - available to download now - puts a direct stop to all future walker activity....

Understandably, ‘crunch time’ in game development is that same process but spread out over hundreds of people and thousands of hours. That is a lot of overtime (that isn’t always paid) and it isn’t uncommon that developers miss key social experiences in order to finish the game, even for those in lower positions such as QA testers. It is a stressful time and many lament the process and what it does to their life....

Saina was off to a rough start but fought back from a game down before prevailing 8-21, 21-16, 21-13 in 51 minutes. But there was bad news for Indian fans from the men’s singles competition as B. Sai Praneeth crashed out following a straight games loss to NG Ka Long Angus of Hong Kong. Praneeth was no match for his opponent in the men’s singles match up, going down 21-12, 21-17 in just 35 minutes....

The newest DLC package, dubbed The Warrior Pack, offers four new costumes for your customizable protagonist to wear, all of which carry some sort of “knight” theme. It might not seem like much, but at $3 if you’re getting bored with your character’s previous costumes it might just provide the right change of pace. Included with the Warrior Pack are a Kabuki Warrior costume, Warrior princess costume, Intergalactic Warrior costume, and a costume called the knight of Steelport....

The leaked images were originally spotted on NeoGaf, where it was said that these pictures came from an upcoming Game Informer feature. It seems that people will no longer be addressing the third Saint’s Row as ‘Saints Row 3’, as the promotional images have given the game an official name — Saints Row: The Third. [Update: Brand new details on Saints Row: The Third’s missions, plot, and characters have been leaked online....

Salah has been heavily linked with a massive move to La Liga after a sensational debut season at Anfield. The Egypt international has scored 37 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions, and equalled a record held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Robin van Persie on Saturday when he scored in his 21st game of the Premier League season to give the Reds a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace. Nevertheless, Adam, who spent one season at Liverpool after joining the club from Blackpool in 2011, does not believe that Salah is good enough to work his way into the elite Spanish sides....

Game Designer and co-founder Jakob Porser is answering questions about the upcoming card-based combat game, and is looking very happy with their overall progress - admitting that the AI was so good, it often beat him at his own game. More importantly, though, is that he’s confident that following the Minecraft sales model will lead to success: Mojang’s main success, Minecraft, is famous for racking up millions in sales during its beta stages - with promises that beta-testers would get the full version of the title later....

Donnarumma to meet Milan Diouf spent three seasons contracted to Liverpool from 2002 until 2005, spending one on loan at Bolton, frequently causing controversy with his on-field antics and even falling out with his team-mates. They continue to spat in the media, with the former attacker apparently taking another dig at Reds legend Gerrard when speaking to the BBC. “I have no problem with him,” he said. “Gerrard is a strong character and I am a strong character....

Roma to win Serie A - 9/1 Dzeko scored the equaliser against Juve at the International Champions Cup before voicing his support for the arrivals of Aleksandar Kolarov and Cengiz Under. Former team-mates at Manchester City, Kolarov and Dzeko have particularly connected well, with the Serbian defender providing the assist for the Bosnian during the 1-1 draw in Foxborough. “We know each other well,” Dzeko said afterwards. “He provided many assists for me in the Premier League....

These days, it seems impossible for any self-respecting AAA game to catch the attention of the gaming world without a jaw-dropping, spectacle-filled CG cinematic trailer. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is the latest to get the cinematic treatment, and while J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy source material may not be known for its violence, paranoia, or orc-sympathizing, Shadow of Mordor’s new ‘Gravewalker’ trailer is filled to the brim with it. The title ‘Gravewalker’ refers, of course, to the game’s hero Talion, a Ranger who has been forced to watch his family killed before his eyes, but robbed of death himself by a mysterious Spirit of Vengeance....

While he isn’t given any real mention in the first film, Black Adam is known to be Shazam’s nemesis, having essentially the same powers, but with a slightly different backstory. Though his history has been ret-conned and altered many times, most fans know him as the protector of Kahndaq, who was given superpowers in order to rescue his people and watch over them in their time of need. RELATED: Shazam!...

Up until now, Atlus had not yet reveal the English dub cast for Shin Megami Tensei 5, a move that has concerned many fans given that English dubs have become a staple of the publisher’s games in the west. Last year the publisher shared that it had faced difficulties producing English dubs for its games due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim receiving its English dub in the form of a day 1 patch....

Game Rant’s Jacob Siegal reviews Sine Mora Sine Mora is a shoot ’em up co-developed by Digital Reality and Grasshopper Manufacture. Grasshopper was in charge of concept art and sound design, while the actual story, gameplay, 3D modelling, and general coding was done by Digital Reality. This team effort between a less well-known developer and the all-star cast over at Grasshopper is decidedly weird. It contains one of the most complex and terrifying storylines of most any video game on the market, possibly only rivaled by other Grasshopper games like Killer7....

In a number of interviews, the creators of Riverdale have been teasing exactly what this time jump will mean, as well as teasing what fans can expect from the first few episodes of the show, which streams internationally on Netflix. What can fans expect from Riverdale Season 5? Prom Riverdale Season 5, Episode 1, will be what was originally planned as Season 4, Episode 20: The gang’s senior prom. Archie (played by KJ Apa) and Betty (Lili Reinhart) spent most of the back-end of the last season trying to hide their feelings for each other, and at prom it seems as if this will cause huge strain on Archie’s relationship with girlfriend Veronica (Camila Mendes)....
