Ramos captained Madrid to a comprehensive victory in the first leg of the round-of-16 tie against Serie A opposition, the result putting the holders in position to advance to the quarter-finals. Ramos happy to see Barca lose Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and Casemiro were the men on target for the hosts at Santiago Bernabeu, responding to Lorenzo Insigne’s opportunistic early opener. After celebrating a job well done, Ramos found time to swap shirts with former Argentina international Claudio Caniggia, an attacker who plundered goals for the likes of River Plate, Atalanta, Roma, Benfica and Boca Juniors, his flowing blond locks earning him cult status along the way....

President-elect Joe Biden won both the popular and electoral votes in the November election. But President Donald Trump has baselessly alleged that widespread election fraud caused Biden’s win, and has encouraged Republicans in Congress to challenge the official count of the electoral votes, which would confirm Biden’s win. Hawley is the first Senator to announce that he would challenge the vote. Riggleman said Wednesday that Republicans who chose to join Hawley’s efforts could be doing it for political reasons....

The Turpin case is the focus of tonight’s 20/20 primetime event, Escape From a House of Horror: A Diane Sawyer Special Event. Ahead of the special on ABC, Newsweek spoke to Sawyer about her experience sitting down with the victims of this horrific crime. She told Newsweek: “This is the first time any of the 13 Turpin children have told their stories. We’ve been waiting four years to hear about their lives, and I was amazed by the two young women I met....

In my mind, the Bush administration begins in earnest this week. Until now, I and my fellow political scribes have been obsessed with Bill Clinton’s Long Goodbye, which, thankfully, seems over. The gumshoes may yet nab some people for wrongdoing in Pardongate, but the predatory political culture of Washington has turned, finally, to taking its first clear look at the Bush crowd. The tax bill finally caught our attention. This was the week in which the debate was going to get serious: How big should the tax cut be, and for whom?...

If you missed HTGAWM Season 6, Episode 15, titled “Stay,” the finale is streaming now on ABC and Hulu and is expected to come to Netflix in mid-June. Who killed Annalise Keating in the How to Get Away with Murder finale? The final episode of HTGAWM had one last twist up its sleeve. When we cut to Annalise’s funeral this time, we learned that it was not a case of who killed her but what killed her....

Saina had suffered defeats in 14 out of the 19 clashes against the Taiwanese shuttler and Friday was no different as she once again went down 15-21, 19-21 in the 37-minute match. The time when the Indian was trailing 3-11 during the break in the first game, Kashyap gave Saina an earful. “If you want to win the match, understand that you have to be disciplined. You are playing some stupid shots,” Kashyap reprimanded Saina for her weak shotmaking during the break following which she made a comeback to reduce the gap to 12-14 in the first game....

’Davies pulls Pep’s pants down’ The Manchester United midfielder had presented his likeness just days before the clash with Liverpool, as Jose Mourinho’s men sought to maintain their excellent run of results at Old Trafford. But a senseless handball in his own area gave Liverpool a golden chance from the penalty spot, which James Milner converted with glee. And the world’s most expensive player went from Twitter hero to zero in just a matter of minutes as users rounded on him for an infantile mistake....

Deangelo’s real name is Michael Backman, and he is a talented con artist. He got away with his scam for more than three months last fall, until someone tipped off the police just before Christmas. In some ways Backman’s story is a timeless one–the clever grifter, chasing the American dream of renewal and reinvention. Weary of life as a practiced check forger and car thief, Backman says he went back to high school–the same one from which he had graduated in 1986–because it was the one place where he had felt a measure of happiness and success....

De Gea was instrumental in keeping the score level at 0-0 going into half time. Brentford had a couple of brilliant opportunities to take the lead but were denied by the Spanish goalkeeper. Midfielder Mathias Jensen was twice denied a goal in the first half by De Gea. The 31-year-old shot-stopper used his feet to deny the Bees a chance to take the lead. At the break, Rio Ferdinand said the following on BT Sport:...

Mrs. Duran denied any knowledge of her husband’s involvement with a paramilitary citizens’ group in Colorado Springs. But she said Duran told her he ““wanted to be in the history books.'' In early October, Mrs. Duran said, she received bills for purchases made by her husband in San Antonio. Duran had an ““old army buddy’’ there, she said, but she didn’t know if Duran had contacted him. Investigators, she said, have told her he used aliases on the road, including Franco Duran, Frank Duran, Steve Dykes and Stephen Dykes....

The American’s wayward tee shot at the sixth on the first day of the tournament hit Corine Remande, who is reportedly thinking of suing for the damage done after being told she had lost sight in her right eye. Koepka was left shaken by the incident at Le Golf National, which left Remande bleeding heavily, and he posted a message on Twitter on Tuesday revealing he had been in touch again....

“The first couple hours [of release] were like, wow this is really exciting, Demon Hunter is really powerful and really fun to play,” Senior Game Designer Dean Ayala told Newsweek. “And then by the third and fourth hour we were like, ‘It’s actually really, really powerful.’ And then I think by midday everyone is kinda like, ‘Okay, this is clearly more powerful than everything else, like, what’s going on here?...

Combining colourful animations with smart tactics, Hearthstone eschews the usual tedium of card games into something fun that thankfully doesn’t cost a great deal of money. In fact, Hearthstone is a free to play game whose payment options have yet to come under scrutiny as players only have to pay real money should they want to — with paid card packs and extra chances to play at the in-game PvP Arena available — as the gold earned from winning in the arena or completing quests means that forking out for these extras is a rarity....

During a press conference on Wednesday, the Richmond Police Department announced that on July 1, a “hero citizen” overheard a conversation about a potential mass shooting incident to take place at a Fourth of July parade in the city. The “hero citizen” alerted the police, who then launched an investigation and were able to arrest two individuals and seize two rifles, a handgun and over 200 rounds of ammunition....

Hazard and Alexander-Arnold engaged in some memorable duels over the years during the Belgian’s time at Chelsea. Hazard was considered one of the best players in the world during his time at Stamford Bridge. His extraordinary skills, along with agility, intelligence, and other fantastic attributes made Hazard one of the elites. Alexander-Arnold echoed the same, as he said (via Madrid Zone): Fans might remember the blinder Hazard scored at Anfield during the League Cup clash against Liverpool....

Bregman proceeded to launch a rocket into the Crawford Boxes, giving the Astros a two-run lead early. It was an advantage they wouldn’t relinquish, eventually cruising to a 6-3 victory. And for those who were at the stadium on Sunday, Bregman’s dinger encapsulated so much of what baseball can be: not just a game, but the embodiment of community and togetherness, even in the most dire of situations. The Astros hosted 500 Uvalde residents — many family members and friends of victims of the May 24 Robb Elementary School mass shooting — at Sunday’s game....

They’ll make friends around the academy, battle against enemies, and learn advanced magic spells to cast when needed. And while the game is based on the Harry Potter universe, creator J.K. Rowling is not involved in the game’s development in any way....

Hohokum is a 2D omnidirectional-scrolling collection of stimuli for the senses. And stimulate it will. with a color palette and visual direction unlike much else out today, players are in for a visual and aural treat with this one. To simply call it a game betrays the developers’ intentions of delivering something that is more of a journey that will take whatever form the player chooses. Players will take control of a magical one-eyed snake-thing named Long Mover and guide him in and out of various stages where primary and secondary goals can be met or not met at the player’s leisure....

Since that initial announcement, anticipation has built for Hotline Miami 2 into a fever pitch, with many craving the game’s thumping soundtrack and hyper stylized violence. Unfortunately, the game’s original release date of September 2014 has come and gone, and Hotline Miami was nowhere to be found. Apparently, that’s for good reason as today Dennaton confirms that Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number has been delayed. The game will now hit the PC platform sometime between late 2014 and early 2015....
