The match itself was a brilliant one and in the first half, it looked like an equal contest. Barcelona drew first blood when Jordi Alba picked out Luis Suarez from the left and the latter made no mistake in front of goal. The first half ended 1-0 in the home side’s favor. The second half of the match saw Liverpool come out and give it their all but they were lacking that final touch in front of goal....
The LaLiga giants ground out a nervy 2-1 win over Leganes in the league over the weekend and given that they disappointingly drew with Slavia Prague last time out in the Champions League, their fans would have expected nothing but a victory against Dortmund. That was exactly what happened, with Barcelona dominating proceedings from start to finish in what was a largely one-sided affair. Their victory means that they would top their Champions League group for the 13th season running and Ernesto Valverde would have been very pleased with the output of a number of his players....
It was another Messi masterclass as the masterful Argentine inspired Barca to an important victory in their Group F clash against Dortmund on Wednesday night. He combined well with attacking teammates to create two assists, while netting his second UCL goal in 19-20 too - having previously struggled with persistent injuries this term. It was his perfectly-weighted pass which teed up Suarez through on-goal just before the half-hour mark, minutes after Griezmann replaced compatriot Ousmane Dembele who limped off with a thigh injury on a forgettable evening for the former Dortmund winger....

The newly revealed earbuds tout a number of impressive, high-end features that surpass the AirPods Pro in most cases. The downside is that Beoplay EQs also cost almost twice as much as Apple’s higher-end wireless earbuds, as well as B&O’s own E8 third-generation models.

The ad, paid for by the Committee to Protect the President, pairs an excerpt from the audiobook version of Obama’s memoir Dreams From My Father with images of Biden. The spot opens with a woman’s narration introducing Obama. “Joe Biden promised to help our community. It was a lie—here’s Barack Obama.” The clip that follows is an excerpt from Obama’s book, where the former president is speaking about “machine politics” in Chicago—a corrupt practice common in Chicago during the late 19th and early 20th century, where an elected leader would give supporters benefits based on their ability to get people to vote for them....
Obama issued a statement denouncing the violence hours after a mob of Trump supporters assaulted police and stormed into the Capitol building. Trump’s predecessor accused the president of “inciting” the violence by spreading false claims that President-elect Joe Biden benefited from massive voter fraud, while also condemning Republicans and pro-Trump media for promoting a false narrative that may have encouraged the violence. “History will rightly remember today’s violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation,” Obama said....

In 2005, then-Illinois senator Obama argued against ending the filibuster, saying the American people do not expect political parties to “change the rules in the middle of the game so that they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet. “If the majority chooses to end the filibuster, if they choose to change the rules and put an end to Democratic debate, then the fighting and the bitterness and the gridlock will only get worse,” Obama said....

Barcelona are top of LaLiga, level on points with second-placed Real Madrid, but a 3-1 defeat at Levante and a goalless draw at home to Slavia Prague brought doubts over Valverde’s leadership back to the fore among sections of the club’s fanbase. Ronaldo Koeman has been touted as a potential replacement for Valverde, should he leave the position he took up in May 2017. Abidal admitted that Valverde’s position is never far from the headlines, despite his back-to-back LaLiga triumphs, pointing to Barcelona’s Champions League eliminations at the hands of Roma in 2017-18 and Liverpool in 2018-19 as sore points for supporters....
