If one talks about the single most anticipated football fixture in the world - not considering additional factors like a Champions League knockout tie or a cup final, it has got to be the El Clasico, where Spain's two powerhouses -- Real Madrid and Barcelona -- take on each other. Over the years, the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona saw some of the most engrossing footballing moments. With Lionel Messi leading the Barca lines for over a decade now and Cristiano Ronaldo spearheading Real Madrid between 2009 and 2018, the two teams dominated Spain and Europe. Now, with Ronaldo gone to Juventus and Messi left with a Barcelona that is all but a shadow of its glory years, the two footballing giants are having to toil in Europe. from IndiaTV Sports: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/2TnQPuY via IFTTT

The story was expected to be much the same as in Wellington, probably meaner than was the scoreboard reflected, when the camera strolled over the creamy green-topped track at the Hagley Oval after rain had delayed the start by 45 minutes. And then the coin had deceived Virat Kohli once again as Kane Williamson opted to bowl first. In August of 2018, India had walked in at Lord's after the rain had interrupted the proceedings in the second Test. After just two sessions of play on day 2, India were bundled for just 107 as the English pace attack made most of the seaming conditions, exposing India's inability to handle swing. Such was expected on Saturday morning as openers Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal walked in to bat. Little less than six hours later, India walked back for 242 despite three half-century scores. from IndiaTV Sports: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/32DAPcz via IFTTT
