Laliga- Barcelona Coach Reveals How Ronaldo?s Departure Is Affecting Messi

Posted by asdeenvibez on August 25th, 2018

Barcelona manager, Ernesto Valverde, has said that Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Juventus, could be a turning point in his rivalry with Lionel Messi.

Barcelona and Real Madrid’s encounters were taken up a notch following Ronaldo’s move to the Bernabeu in 2009 and Ronaldo and Messi have won every Ballon d’Or for the last decade.

“Ronaldo’s departure would seem to have ended the competition between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo because people rarely mention one without mentioning the other,” Valverde told Barca Magazine.

“A lot of people are interested, me too, to see how it will affect Real Madrid’s football and what they might do in the transfer market, and also knowing that Ronaldo is at another club and what that might mean for LaLiga and the Champions League too.”

Clubs in Spain have until August 31 to sign new players.

Boko Haram attacks community in Chad, slaughters 18 and kidnaps 10 women

Eighteen people have been killed in a brutal attack by suspected Boko Haram jihadists in the Lake Chad region.

“Boko Haram elements attacked a village south of Daboua,” not far from Chad’s border with Niger, at around 9:00 pm (2000 GMT) on Thursday, a military source said. The assailants “cut the throats of 18 people, wounded two others and kidnapped 10 women”.

Boko Haram’s Islamist insurgency has devastated the region since it took up arms in 2009 in Nigeria, leaving at least 20,000 people dead, displacing more than two million others and triggering a humanitarian crisis.

Chad, Cameroon and Niger have all joined the military effort by Nigeria to crush Boko Haram. Chad has seen a recent increase in attacks by the group. In May, six people were killed, including four government officials and a soldier, in a Boko Haram attack on a Chadian army checkpoint on an island in Lake Chad.
