Neymar makes return from injury as s ubstitute against Monaco After three months out injured, the Paris Saint-Germain star returned to the pitch after coming on at half-time on Sunday Neymar made his return from a three-month lay-off with a broken foot during Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 match at home to Monaco on Sunday. The Brazil star had not played a competitive game since suffering a metatarsal injury in a Coupe de France win over Strasbourg on January 23. At the time there were doubts whether Neymar would appear again this season, but he returned to training in early April, suggesting he could feature in the run-in. Thomas Tuchel named the forward on the bench for the visit of Monaco – with PSG confirmed as champions earlier in the day following Lille's 0-0 draw at Toulouse. And he made his way on to the pitch for the second half with PSG already 2-0 up thanks to Kylian Mbappe's brace, replacing Layvin Kurzawa at half-time. Mbappe went on to compl...

7 Foods That Could Kill Cancer You probably know that diet is one of the most important elements of cancer prevention. Along with exercise, it’s one of the few things you can control since genetics and environment are largely determined by someone or something else. Of course, if you’re still smoking cigarettes or using tobacco in any form, think about getting some help to quit. When it comes to diet, in general you simply need to focus on eating whole, organic foods over processed and pesticide-laden ones. However, there is some nuance to it. There are certain nutrients that have been shown to be especially good at striking down cancer cells. Following are 7 foods, elements of food, or ingredients that should take center stage in any diet meant to prevent cancer or support recovery from it. 1. Folate-Rich Foods Folate is a B-complex vitamin that’s so important it is used to fortify many foods that don’t otherwise contain it. The reason is th...

12 Things You Must  Know  about These Vegetables and Your Health   12. Bell Peppers Bell peppers are on the Dirty Dozen list, but that’s not the only thing to consider when deciding whether or not to eat them. Peppers are part of a group of veggies called nightshades, and some claim that they cause inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is linked to the development of all kinds of ills, including cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, not to mention joint and arthritis pain. Peppers also contain the alkaloid solanine, which is known to disrupt nerve function in some people and can cause twitching, trembling, and convulsing. For people with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or any joint issues, we recommend avoiding bell peppers. 11. Cherry Tomatoes These tasty little bites are also a member of the nightshade family, and as such, are not recommended for people with joint problems or arthritis. They are also on the Dirty Dozen list a...

If You Eat Onion Every Day, This Can Happen to Your Body Onions have been popular for a really long time. As far back as the Egyptians of 2500 B.C., we can see evidence that the onion was worshipped.

Onions are highly nutritious, featuring good amounts of protein and fiber as well as vitamin C, selenium, folate, and various antioxidants.

Today, onions are one of the most versatile ingredients around, and they appear in tons of savory recipes.

 Messi's Masterclass E nds Man Utd's Dream  Barcelona's legendary No.10 produced another incredible performance as the Blaugrana comfortably put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side to the sword Manchester United came to Camp Nou hoping for a miracle to rival their 1999 Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich. Then super-sub and now coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored the second of two stoppage time goals to stun the Bavarians and complete an historic treble for the Red Devils. Twenty years later, trailing 1-0 from the quarter-final first leg, against a Barcelona side unbeaten in their previous 30 Champions League home matches, they needed a similar freak outcome to progress to the semis. Barcelona have only twice failed to go through after winning the first leg away from home in Europe, in 41 ties. And perhaps most importantly, they are led by the one man in world football who is capable of making miracles happen - Lionel Messi. Solskjaer said on th...

The Spanish Town Celebrating New Year's Eve in August . When an accidental power cut put an abrupt end to their festivities, the residents of Bérchules, Spain, decided to make the best out of an unfortunate situation. The streets are brightly lit with holiday decorations, mounds of grapes standing at the ready to accommodate the Spanish tradition of eating 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight to ensure good luck. As the minutes tick past, the small town of Bérchules prepares to ring in the New Year. Only it isn’t 31 December. It’s the first weekend of August. In the grand scheme of head-scratching ideas, celebrating New Year's Eve in August must lie somewhere near the very top. However, Bérchules, nestled high in the Alpujarras region of Andalucía, has, for the last 25 years, done exactly that. It was in the final hours of 1993 that this story begins. Preparations to welcome 1994 were complete, but the clock strikes never came. “I was 11 at t...

The Camino De Santiago's Ancient Secret Cape Finisterre’s mythical pull has drawn travellers since the time of antiquity. But with the rise of Christianity, the route to ‘the end of the world’ became all but forgotten. A simple bronze walking boot sits on a rock overlooking the immense vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. There is no plaque, but the message is manifest. This is the end of the road. It is also ‘the end of the world’. The snaking routes of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage convene at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, the capital of north-west Spain’s Galicia region and the alleged burial site of St James. For more than 1,000 years, people have made their way along these paths to pay homage to the apostle, but for a small number of travellers who arrive in the hallowed city, the journey isn’t yet complete. From the city’s main square, another, lesser-known path creeps west. The cathedral spires fade into the distance as th...

"Unstoppable" Cristiano Ronaldo will return to the Juventus team to face Ajax in the Champions League quarter-final second leg on Tuesday. The Portuguese scored in the 1-1 draw at the Johan Cruyff Arena last week, but was one of several players rested for Saturday's 2-1 defeat at SPAL. "Cristiano has extraordinary quality," said boss Massimiliano Allegri. "In certain moments he becomes an unstoppable player and you can see it on his face." Fellow forward Mario Mandzukic will miss the game with a knee injury, with Allegri saying: "He has struggled to train at 100%. These games will be better suited to players who are in their best condition, because they have to give absolutely everything." Ajax's biggest worry is about midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who hurt his hamstring in Saturday's 6-2 win over Excelsior. Coach Erik ten Hag said they were confident he would be able to play. "Frenkie himself will have to de...

EPL: Ferguson names club that will win Premier League title Legendary Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has tipped Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool to win the English Premier League, EPL, ahead of Manchester City this season. Ferguson, who won thirteen EPL titles during his time in charge at Old Trafford, believes the Reds will win the English top-flight league title this term.

Walters claims he was speaking to former Premier League star, Phil Bardsley, who he played alongside at Burnley, about the EPL title race when he mention

Cole doesn't believe Hazard would leave Chelsea Liverpool FC v Chelsea FC - Premier League Chelsea legend Ashley Cole believes Eden Hazard will remain at Stamford Bridge, citing his love for the club as the principle reason. Cole and Hazard were team-mates with the Blues for two years, until Cole’s departure in 2014 for Roma. During his time away, Cole has seen Hazard become a hero for the Blues, and the former England international claims he doesn’t understand any reason why the Belgian would want to leave. Speaking to Sky Sports on Sunday, talking about Hazard and his influence in the game against Liverpool, Cole said: “He was brilliant, the way he [gets] players involved in the game and the chances he had. They have to keep him.” “I don’t see why he’d want to leave, the club loves him, he loves the club.” “I hope he stays and I think he will stay to be honest. I know how much he adores the club, and everyone loves him. I think he should stay....

Ronaldo 41-16 Messi: Cristiano’s unbelievable Champions League knockout record Not only has the Portuguese scored more tournament goals than anyone else, he's also netted more in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals Real Madrid legend Guti recently admitted that if he had to choose between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, he would pick the Argentine. However, the Spaniard was at pains to point out that while "Messi has more talent, Cristiano is more of a goalscorer and has more ambition." Nowhere is that better illustrated than in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Ronaldo boasts an insatiable thirst for goals. His ambition to break every imaginable goalscoring record in Europe's premier cup competition is clearly one of his main motivations. That drive is what separates him from all of the rest – even Messi – when it comes to finding the back of the net. And that drive was in evidence as the 34-year-old Ronaldo surged pa...

Pogba is not worthy of Real Madrid based on Barcelona & PSG performances The French midfielder's form has deteriorated since February and United need him to improve, as would Real Madrid if he truly wants a move There was one Manchester United midfielder who had everybody raving despite the 1-0 home loss to Barcelona last Wednesday, and Jose Mourinho could have been forgiven for having a wry smile about that player’s identity. Paul Pogba, the man who Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has insisted for some time that he would always look to build his team around, was outplayed by Scott McTominay. It was the young Scotland international’s second Champions League appearance all season, the other coming in Pogba’s absence through suspension as United did the impossible away to Paris Saint-Germain after he had been sent-off in a home leg defeat during which he frustrated rather than starred. In defence of Pogba, his under-performance against Barca last week was somewhat exaggerate...

'Dembele is already a better player than Neymar' -  Barcelona president Bartomeu The Catalan club's supremo claimed that the Frenchman is superior to the Brazilian in a television interview on Monday Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu has claimed the team’s winger Ousmane Dembele is better than Neymar, the player he was signed to replace at Camp Nou. Neymar quit Catalonia for PSG in the summer of 2017 for a world-record transfer fee of €222m (£198m/$250m), with Dembele arriving from Dortmund for €105m (£90.6m/$118m) soon afterwards. Bartomeu also discussed Philippe Coutinho’s progress with the Blaugrana. “I explained that we have a project with Dembele and Coutinho with Neymar’s money,” Bartomeu told TVE in Spain. “Dembele’s level is better now than Neymar’s, he’s a much better player than Neymar and he’s already adapted. “Coutinho is a great player, excellent, he’s getting better and better. It’s not easy to play at Barca - he was here six months last seas...
