Pique’s unfortunate mistake handed Madrid the lead in the first leg at Camp Nou on Sunday before further goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Marco Asensio secured a commanding 3-1 advantage, after Lionel Messi’s penalty had levelled the scores. Barca 7/4 with dabblebet to beat Madrid Segura stated afterwards that the error by the centre-back “changed the game completely” but Busquets has defended his team-mate and insisted it was wrong for a club official to criticise a player in public....

Already in London, the buy-to-let bubble is beginning to burst. American expat Liza Llewellyn and her husband, Stephen, had to lower the rent on their two-bedroom Kensington flat from [Pound sterling]895 to [Pound sterling]800 per week before they found a tenant. In the end, the property stayed on the market for four months. “There are simply too many landlords chasing too few tenants,” says Jeremy Leaf, a spokesman for the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors....

Consumers bought into conservation after the energy shocks of the 1970s and early ’80s. We not only turned down thermostats and insulated the attic, we embraced government intervention and technological change. Federal energy standards brought forth more efficient refrigerators and air conditioners. Under new building codes, homes and offices became cheaper to heat, cool and light. Rebate programs helped people buy better light bulbs and appliances. Electricity use grew more slowly than the economy did....

No Serena Williams. No Venus. They each had early exits, leaving no Americans to cheer for Sunday in the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic. “I’m sorry that there was no American in the final but, well, I’m really happy to be on the poster next year so that’s really amazing for me,” she said. Just with those words, the fifth-seeded Romanian drew big applause and chuckles. Her gracious spirit, steady strokes and entertaining play sure helped, too....

The rampage began just before 2 p.m. Friday at a conference on prisoner rehabilitation hosted by Learning Together, a prison education program. The alleged assailant, Usman Khan, was an attendee at the event, which was being held in Fishmongers’ Hall, next to London Bridge on the north bank of the River Thames. Khan served six years in British prison on terrorism charges before his conditional release last year. At the conference, Khan allegedly produced a bladed weapon and revealed himself to be wearing a fake suicide vest....

I know from experience. From ages 6 to 12, I was bullied pretty badly. I was an only child, lanky, and always felt a bit different from the other kids. I was more sentimental and liked to compete intellectually rather than physically. When with family and friends, I often wanted to sit at the adult table and have adult conversations rather than doing things more typical for my age....

The sides drew 1-1 in their rain-affected three-match Twenty20 series but India have been dealt a blow ahead of the opening Test against the Proteas next week as Bumrah has been ruled out. The 25-year-old has suffered a minor stress fracture in his lower back, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said in a short statement on Twitter, and he has been replaced by Umesh Yadav. Bumrah has enjoyed an outstanding start to life in Test cricket since his January 2018 debut....

In a new interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Parsons has the following to say about the challenges a reviewer faces tackling a game like Destiny: While Parson’s bias towards Destiny is undeniable, there’s a broad logic to what he’s saying. The days of games being a ten-hour campaign with some multiplayer options for afterwards seem to be on their way out, with more developers choosing to take advantage of persistent internet connections to deliver experiences that evolve over time....

This week, Destiny 2 fans were able to get their first glimpse of the full Europa map from Beyond Light, albeit in menu form. Bungie still hasn’t fully shown off the landscape or its various nooks and crannies, but they have given fans an overview of what the map will look like. RELATED: New Destiny 2 Trailer Reveals Exotic Sword However, while this is the first official look at the Europa map, it’s actually not the first time that Destiny 2 players have seen it....

Schreier posted on Twitter that he was able to ask Bungie about the possibility of cross-play coming to Destiny 2. Bungie responded by saying that,“they want it to happen,” but are limited by “technical challenges/resources/etc.” In other words, as much as both Bungie and Guardians would love to see cross-play become a reality, it’s not a reality for the time being. “Maybe at some point.” Bungie’s response will hopefully be received positively by Destiny 2 players, rather than negatively....

BERLIN (Reuters) - Manchester City, buoyed by the return of Yaya Toure, will look to seal a spot in the Champions League knockout stage when they travel to Borussia Moenchengladbach on Wednesday to play a team struggling for form. Toure, banned by coach Pep Guardiola following comments by his agent about the manager, returned from a three-month exile to score both goals in City’s 2-1 Premier League win at Crystal Palace on Saturday....

Andre Gray passed up the Premier League side’s best opportunity shortly after half-time but Sean Dyche’s men were forced to endure a sustained spell on the back foot during the second period against the National League leaders. They appeared to have weathered the storm as Ashley Westwood, Michael Keane and Scott Arfield all spurned presentable opportunities inside the final 10 minutes but 23-year-old centre-back Raggett, who was also on target in a more low-key round-two win over Altrincham in November, provided a magical sting in the tail in front of 3,000 disbelieving travelling supporters....

Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling were on target for the Sky Blues, who became the first team since Arsenal in 2002 to win 13 consecutive games in all competitions. Pep Guardiola’s side was off to a flying start when the Brazilian broke the deadlock just three minutes into the game after Nick Pope spilled Bernardo Silva’s effort right at him. Sterling then joined in the act towards the end of the first half, thumping the ball into an empty net after a wonderful cross from Ilkay Gundogan....

Burnley manager Sean Dyche was not expecting to be in the market for a goalkeeper until injuries to Nick Pope and Tom Heaton — both England internationals. The club did not disclose a fee. Hart spent 12 years at City and won two Premier League titles, but he dropped in the pecking order after Pep Guardiola’s arrival and spent the last two seasons on loan to Torino and West Ham....

The third day of testimony followed two days from last month, when Driscoll and the Stewart-Haas Racing driver testified about what happened in his motorhome Sept. 26 at Dover International Speedway. Driscoll claims that Busch put her hands on her neck and smashed her head against the motorhome wall. Busch claims he cupped her face trying to diffuse a situation where he had repeatedly asked her to leave. The Associated Press reported Monday morning that chaplain Nick Terry testified he saw no redness or marks on Driscoll that night....

Publicly attacking Israel’s American friends is risky political business. But Bush comes from an East Coast foreign-policy establishment whose members have often felt that U.S. interests in the Middle East were being sacrificed to domestic polities. He also resents suggestions that people who disagree with Israel are somehow guilty of anti-Semitism. When he took over the Oval Office, according to his friends, he decided on a tougher line. The atmospheric change was evident from the outset....
