Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Al Nassr, joining Inter Miami?

ristiano Ronaldo is likely to leave Al Nassr and may join Inter Miami in the future. In Saudi Arabia, Al Nassr is advancing towards an opportunity to dominate soccer because of Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival, according to Essentially Sports.... The former Real Madrid player paved the way for the club and the whole league in an amazing way across the globe. However, recent rumours about his uncertain future at Riyadh and links to his rival’s team have his fans worried despite his commitment to Al Nassr. The recent update about the Portuguese player’s contract have somehow clarified his fans’ doubts. Synopsis: With their campaign at a crucial stage, CSK turned the tide against their bogey team with a 28-run win to stay in play-off hunt, as Punjab Kings underwhelm again Kings implode Not chasing a big total and losing two of their overseas stalwarts early, the situation demanded a bit of circumspection from Punjab. But batsmen in this IPL, especially those who are not quite used to the ebbs and flows of longer-form cricket at the international level, don’t always seem capable to tone down their aggression. Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh have been two of their better performers in this volatile season, but have been engaged in all-out attack. When required to display some nuance and play longer innings, they were found wanting against the left-arm spin pairing of Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner. When rotating strike – a forgotten virtue in T20 cricket these days – was the need of the hour, a gung-ho approach led to their downfall. 62/2 in less than 8 overs, chasing 168, an average total at the venue, quickly became 78/7 in 12.3 overs, landing a deadly blow to their already slim playoff aspirations as they went down to Chennai Super Kings by 28 runs.... Al Nassr is said to cannot tolerate the absence of its captain and reports have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo is not going anywhere but playing with the Saudi League until the end of his contract. Ronaldo will stay until he completes his tenure in the summer of 2025, according to journalist Ahmed A-Jadi. With this, Al Nassr buried all rumours about other clubs hunting the star with this expose. David Beckham’s Inter Miami was interested in acquiring Ronaldo, as per many rumours. Gareth Taylor's side, who were hoping to give retiring captain Steph Houghton the perfect send-off at Joie Stadium, knew victory would give them a chance of winning the WSL title on Sunday evening if Chelsea dropped points against Bristol City. Then everything changed. Stina Blackstenius' dramatic late double gave Arsenal a 2-1 win, spoiling City's party, hours before Chelsea ran riot to beat Bristol City 8-0. Now, City may have to wait until the final day of the season to go head-to-head with Emma Hayes' side in a blockbuster finish. "I couldn’t tell you [who will win the title]. It's definitely not over," former England midfielder Fara Williams told BBC One. "Chelsea have a game in hand to play. The pressure is on. It’s wide open for the last game of the season and it’s super exciting." As it stands, City have a three-point lead at the top, but Chelsea's huge win at Kingsmeadow means they now have a superior goal difference by one and ex-England striker Ellen White thinks the title race has been "thrown up in the air". "This is what we wanted - the most competitive league and the most competitive end to the season as well," said White on BBC One. Chelsea's game in hand is away at Tottenham on Wednesday, 15 May - which kicks off at 19:15 BST and will be live on BBC Two. They then travel to Manchester United on Sunday, 18 May. Manchester City are away at Aston Villa with both games kicking off at 15:00 BST. Interestingly, a segment of soccer fans would love to see that happen so that CR7 can play alongside his traditional rival Lionel Messi. The two players have scored more than 1,700 goals in soccer fighting for the GOAT tag but have never played together so far....

Chelsea or Man City - who's got the edge?

Manchester City's defeat to Arsenal has given Chelsea renewed title hope. But no one is over the line yet... To secure the Women's Super League title, City will likely require a win at Aston Villa on the final day, Saturday May 18. The three-point cushion to second-placed Chelsea is substantial, but not decisive. City's superior goal difference was also blown after Chelsea routed Bristol City on Sunday... The Blues, however, still have two games to negotiate, the first of which will be at Tottenham on May 15 - a must win. If that doesn't happen, City can as good as clinch the title without kicking another ball. Chelsea then face a final-day meeting with Manchester United, where the title could be decided on goal difference.... MAN CITY Position: 1st Points: 52 Goal difference: 45 Games remaining: 1 Man City will have been celebrating as much as the Liverpool players on Wednesday night. Chelsea's defeat on Merseyside looked disastrous, before City then slipped up against Arsenal four days later... Perhaps Gareth Taylor's side have now handed ascendency to their rivals. Momentum has swung, that's for sure... Man City fixtures May 18: Aston Villa vs Man City, kick-off 3pm CHELSEA Position: 2nd Points: 49 Goal difference: 46 Games remaining: 2...... A disconsolate Emma Hayes had already conceded the title to City. It looked to be all over. Boy has that changed. A mood of deflation was rife in the Blues camp after that dramatic loss to Liverpool - it was positively jubilant after thrashing Bristol City. Chelsea are back, and the four-times reigning champs will take some stopping now.... Predicted table It's basically a coin toss, according to Opta's supercomputer. City remain favourites with a 55 per cent chance of claiming the title, while Chelsea's chances have rebounded to 45 per cent....
