    Man City star set for Ballon d’Or win as Vinicius Junior, Real Madrid snub ceremony

    Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior and Gavi

    Man City midfielder Rodri seems set to win the Ballon d’Or after Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Vinicius Junior knows he will not win.

    Vinicius Junior has been the bookmakers’ favourite for the award for months with it widely expected that the Brazil international would be crowned the winner on Monday evening.

    The Brazilian won the Champions League and La Liga title last season at Real Madrid, contributing 21 goals and nine assists in the two competitions combined.

    Rodri also had a stellar campaign for Man City and won the European Championship with Spain, and now Vinicius Junior’s unexpected defeat seemingly paves the way for the Citizens midfielder to win.

    Transfer expert Romano revealed on Monday that, after hearing the news that Vinicius Junior won’t be crowned the winner, there will now be no Real Madrid representative at the event.

    Romano wrote on X: “Vinicius Jr will NOT travel to Paris as Real Madrid know he will NOT win the Ballon d’Or. No one from Real Madrid will attend the ceremony. No Florentino Pérez, no Vini Jr, no Carlo Ancelotti, no Jude Bellingham.”

    And it will be welcome news to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry who was keen to see Man City midfielder Rodri win as people in his position often get overlooked.

    “People forget about midfielders and what they do,” Henry told CBS. “They’re the heart of the team. He is the heart of Manchester City.

    “I know he didn’t win the Champions League [last season], but he won the Euros [with Spain].”

    Fellow pundit and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher said his vote would go to Real Madrid attacker Vini Jr, he added: “I’d go for Vini Jr.

    “They [Real Madrid] won the Champions League, which is the biggest thing in club football.

    “It’s difficult for Rodri because of the position he plays…very few players probably win it in that position – whether you’re a defender or a holding midfield player.

    “Of course, maybe he could win it, maybe he should win it, but it’s always the attacking players – that’s why they get paid the big bucks.

    “They’re the ones who go for the big transfer fees, they’re the ones who excite people – get people off their seats.”

    But Micah Richards agreed with Henry, he explained: “Rodri would still get my vote for last season.”

    Henry continued: “Vini Jr didn’t perform at the Copa America. But is he [still] a worthy winner? Yes.”

    It can become a tool against FPV drones: Defense Ministry authorizes Safari HG-105M shotgun for use

    Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has codified the Safari HG-105M semi-automatic shotgun for use in the Defense Forces. The weapon can be used for close combat and FPV drone warfare.

    The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has codified and authorized the use of the semi-automatic shotgun Safari HG-105M in the units of the Defense Forces, UNN reports with reference to the Ministry of Defense.

    According to the ministry, this rifle can be used as a small arms weapon during combat in confined spaces. And when using hunting ammunition with shot, it can be used as a tool to combat enemy FPV drones.

    "The Safari HG-105M is a semi-automatic shotgun with a gas-piston mechanism and a detachable magazine. It is manufactured using bullpup technology. This is a weapon layout that reduces its overall length without reducing the length of the barrel. The use of this bullpup technology allows the center of gravity to be shifted to the center of the weapon, which reduces the load on the shooter during prolonged use," the statement said.

    The weapon is designed to use 12-gauge ammunition with a magazine capacity of 5 or 10 rounds. The rifle weighs just over 4 kg, the Defense Ministry added.

  • Liverpool: Carragher hits out at ‘bizarre’ TAA claim which signals he’s ‘going to Real Madrid’

    Liverpool: Carragher hits out at ‘bizarre’ TAA claim which signals he’s ‘going to Real Madrid’

    Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold with the Real Madrid badge

    Jamie Carragher thinks Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has made his mind up and will be moving to Real Madrid in the summer.

    The Reds have made a great start to the new Premier League season with their exciting 2-2 draw against title rivals Arsenal seeing them drop off top spot.

    Arne Slot couldn’t have wished for a much better start as Jurgen Klopp’s successor with the Dutchman winning seven of their first nine matches.

    Slot has had to deal with lots of speculation surrounding three of his players with Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk all out of contract at the end of the season.

    Liverpool captain Van Dijk said recently that he is in “discussions with the right people” but Salah and Alexander-Arnold’s futures are less clear.

    And Carragher has branded Alexander-Arnold’s comments that he would rather win a Ballon d’Or than a World Cup or another Champions League as “bizarre”.

    When asked whether he would rather win a Ballon d’Or, a trophy with England, another Champions League or become Liverpool captain, Alexander-Arnold replied: “Winning a World Cup with England – that would be immense and change the game, but I’d say win a Ballon d’Or, because I believe I can. I want to be the first full-back to ever do it.

    “It’s only the morning after you retire that you’re able to look at yourself in the mirror and say you’ve given it everything you have got. It doesn’t matter how many trophies you win or medals you have got, it matters about what you have given to the game and if you reach your full potential.

    “I’ve heard potential being thrown around with my name since the age of six. If you reach that potential and you know you have and you’ve given everything to maximise that potential and be the player you believe you can be, which is one of the best ever, then you’ll be happy.

    “It doesn’t matter how many trophies you win, I guess. Do I have the potential to be that? For sure. I believe it. Some people may call me deluded but I believe I can.”

    And Carragher thinks the Liverpool defender’s “strange” comments indicate that he “is going to Real Madrid” in the summer transfer window.

    Carragher told Sky Sports: “He can try and win the Ballon d’Or, there’s nothing wrong with ambition, but my first thought when I read that was ‘you’re not winning the Ballon d’Or as a right-back for Liverpool’.

    “Ballon d’Or winners normally play for Real Madrid or Barcelona. That’s where the best players in the world go. If that’s his ultimate ambition, I think he was asked about winning the Champions League, the World Cup or the Ballon d’Or.

    “And he chose the Ballon d’Or, which I think is a bit strange or bizarre. I think you would always pick the World Cup or the Champions League, it’s a team game, but he has got massive ambition and why not?

    “You only get one career. He is a unique full-back, he’s absolutely amazing and got Liverpool back into the game today with the pass. But the first thing that came to me when I read that interview is that I think he is going to Real Madrid.”
