Merseyside Police: Exemplary Behaviour From Vast Majority Of Liverpool Fans In Paris

Murder Arrest After Man Dies From Fall Out Of Window On To Road

Thierry Henry completed the Golden Ball after Karim Benzema won the Champions League with Real Madrid on Saturday.

Benzema lifted the trophy to become France's second captain with Didier Deschamps of Marseille after beating Liverpool 1-0 at the Stade de France in 1993.

Carlo Ancelotti's youngsters owe a lot to Thibaut Courtois after the goalkeeper made nine stops, the last Champions League record since Opta's team started holding the record in 2003-2004.

Vinicius Junior scored the winning goal in Paris, but Real Madrid's 14th European Cup, Milan's second best goal (seventh), was the result of Benzema's efforts throughout the knockout stages.

The 34-year-old scored a hat-trick against Paris Saint-Germain, four goals in two games against Chelsea and three against Manchester City, including a free kick in extra time, to win the final.

Benzema has scored 59 goals (45 goals and 15 assists) in all competitions this season, surpassing only his French team-mate Kylian Mbappe (60) in the top five leagues in Europe.

Arsenal star Henry believes Benzema has put an end to the debate over who should win the Ballon d'Or this year with his success in Paris.

"I want to say something to France Football or those who voted. With the ballot closed, Benzema won. Goodbye," Henry told CBS Sports after the final.

France coach Didier Deschamps hopes Benzema can boost Ligue 1 fame in the World Cup finals in November and echoed Henry's feelings by proposing a Real Madrid talisman to win the award.

"The answer is simple: yes. This is the new season and the titles his team has won and what he can do, he is very determined."

"Of course he is already one of the nominees and he deserves this award."

Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi have won the Golden Ball in 13 of the last 14 seasons, with the exception of team-mate Benzema Luka Modric in 2018.

While Benzema believes his achievements on a personal and collective level are enough to prevent Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah from leaving Liverpool, he insists he will be happy with both Real Madrid players.

"It is clear that I have finished the season and now I will join the national team," Benzema told Canal Plus.

"I do not think I can do better at club level. I want to know what happened, but I'm proud of what I have achieved."

'Better Call Saul' Star Julie Ann Emery Stresses Movie Studios The Need To Step Away From Superhero Stories

Julie Ann Emery, who plays one of the show's stars, Betty Kettleman, said that explains Vince Gilligan's famous post when we all said goodbye Monday night at the Better Call Saul finale (available on AMC+ in Canada). Studios need to move away from superhero stories and back into character creation. “We live in a world where the movie experience is so good that the studios are really obsessed with superhero movies and you call Bad and Best and Breaking Bad and Best Saul. Take your time to create these things,” Emery told Yahoo Canada. I think this is very interesting. "[In] Breaking Bad we've seen the show itself change every season as Walter White gets darker, he goes down that rabbit hole and we have to go with him and I think we're not one. from our films. It's like [not a movie], but something that TV likes right now. I think so. I hope we will see our character return to create new characters, but the writers of both shows have been very meticulous when

On Monday, Liverpool will host Crystal Palace at Anfield in a clash of teams seeking their first English Premier League title of the 2022-2023 season. The Reds will be looking to score maximum points after a disappointing 2-2 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage last Saturday.

City's 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday resulted in a 2-0 win on a goal difference of +6. The Eagles kick off the Premier League season on Friday 5 August with a game against Arsenal. The Gunners, hoping to go top of the table, beat Selhurst Park 2-0.

Chelsea Vs. Tottenham Score: Harry Kane Scores In Final Minute As Spurs Earn Draw At Stamford Bridge

Gambar
It was a bitter and heated battle at Stamford Bridge that saw Chelsea and Tottenham equalize in Sunday's 2-2 draw. Goals from Kalidou Koulibaly and Rhys James were thwarted by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane for Chelsea, with the England striker going home at the last minute. There was some intensity to the game as three players were booked, with Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte booked after Spurs scored in the 68th minute. Tuchel wanted to whistle the ball after a foul on Kai Havertz, but the goal stood because it was a different phase of the game. In terms of intensity, both coaches see red after the game. Chelsea saw Marc Cuquerella start the game with a first-half assist from Koulibaly, then they controlled the game for 60 minutes and couldn't concede a corner to Spurs during that time. Richarlison's introduction on the debut changed the course of the game, but Raheem Sterling beat James on an open run to put Chelsea 2-1 ahead in the 15th minute when he fell tryin
