Match Events

9' GOOOOOAAAAALLL!!! CITY 1-0 MADRID!! The visitors have been a little too keen to pass out from the back early on and have paid the ultimate price. Courtois rolls the ball to Varane to his right and the centre-back is caught in possession by Jesus, who squares for Sterling to guide it into an empty net.

28' GOOOOAAAAALLLL!!! CITY 1-1 MADRID!! GAME ON! Benzema plays the ball to Rodrygo and continues his run into the middle. Rodrygo, having knocked the ball down the line to himself, crosses towards the edge of the six-yard box and Benzema gets to it ahead of Fernandinho to head in.

68' GOOOOOAAAALLL!!! CITY 2-1 MADRID!! ANOTHER VARANE HOWLER! Or should that be double howler?! Varane misses the initial header and is then short with his attempted headed pass back to Courtois. Jesus intercepts and beats Courtois from the angle with a fine finish to surely seal a quarter-final spot for City.

 The Billionaire Who Lost Everything. This is a true life story of Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola on the day he lost everything Life was rosy for Femi Otedola until it took a sudden turn leaving him billions in the red. He had to start all over again. In 2008, a shipment containing one million tons of diesel set sail, heading for the shores of Nigeria. The owner of the vessel, Femi Otedola, Chairman of Forte Oil, a petroleum and power generation company, had grown the company to one of the largest in Nigeria, with over 500 filling stations, according to Forbes. The growth had been rapid and profits were at an all-time high. Then disaster struck. “I had about 93 percent of the diesel market on my fingertips. All of a sudden oil prices collapsed and I had over one million tons of diesel on the high seas and the price dropped from $146 to $34” —Femi Otedola. That was only the beginning of his problems. The naira was subsequently devalued and interest began to skyrocket. When the du...

In a video that surfaced online this morning, it shows the young lady misbehaving and displaying pure insanity as people stood and watched her. She rushed a man in the crowd and started asking him “that daddy are you a pastor? pray for me I want to be great in life and she wants to do evangelism, that her parents are in Ibadan. People were speculating that the young lady must have followed all these yahoo boys who might have used her for rituals. According to a lady who witnessed the incident, she said that the lady approached them on the street and they couldn’t make sense out of what she was saying. “This happened yesterday, she approached us on the street, and we couldn’t make sense out of what she was saying, we even thought she fell from the bike because she got blood on a part of her face ...
