"Liverpool's Title to Lose? Modric's Brilliance Keeps Madrid in the Race"

On

As the 2024/2025 football season progresses, two European giants, Liverpool FC and Real Madrid, find themselves in pivotal moments of their respective campaigns. Liverpool’s commanding lead in the Premier League positions them as strong favorites for the title, while Real Madrid’s resurgence in La Liga is significantly bolstered by the timeless brilliance of Luka Modric.


Liverpool: A Title Within Reach


Liverpool’s recent 2-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium has solidified their position at the summit of the Premier League. This win extended their lead to 11 points over second-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand. Manager Arne Slot, however, remains cautious, emphasizing the importance of maintaining focus in the remaining fixtures. He highlighted the challenges ahead, including an upcoming match against Newcastle United, a team that previously held Liverpool to a draw earlier in the season. Slot’s measured approach reflects an understanding that, despite the significant lead, the title race is far from over. 


A cornerstone of Liverpool’s success this season has been Mohamed Salah. In the recent victory against Manchester City, Salah not only scored his 25th Premier League goal of the season but also provided an assist to Dominik Szoboszlai. This performance saw Salah equal Lionel Messi’s record of scoring and assisting in 11 league matches in a single season. Additionally, he became the first player in Premier League history to achieve 25+ goals and 15+ assists in a season. Salah’s consistent excellence has been instrumental in Liverpool’s dominant campaign. 


Real Madrid: Modric’s Enduring Influence


In Spain, Real Madrid’s pursuit of the La Liga title has been invigorated by the ageless performances of Luka Modric. The 39-year-old midfielder showcased his enduring class in a recent 2-0 victory over Girona, where he opened the scoring with a stunning first-half volley. This win brought Real Madrid level on points with league leaders Barcelona, underscoring the team’s resilience and Modric’s pivotal role in their success. 


Modric’s influence extends beyond his on-field contributions. His leadership and experience have been invaluable to the squad, and his recent performances have sparked discussions about a potential contract extension. Despite approaching his 40th birthday, Modric continues to defy expectations, demonstrating that age is merely a number when it comes to his exceptional talent and commitment. 


Looking Ahead


Both Liverpool and Real Madrid face critical fixtures in the coming weeks that could define their seasons. Liverpool is set to host Newcastle United, aiming to maintain or extend their lead at the top of the Premier League. Real Madrid, on the other hand, will look to build on their momentum as they continue to challenge Barcelona for the La Liga title. The performances of key players like Mohamed Salah and Luka Modric will undoubtedly be central to their teams’ fortunes as the season approaches its climax.

  Gabriel Jesus netted a brace as Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 5-1 in Saturday’s Premier League game. The Brazilian international had netted a hat-trick against same team to help the Gunners to advance to the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Wednesday. The Gunners got off to a quick start, as Jesus continued his fine form from Wednesday to give Arsenal the lead in the sixth minute with a powerful strike. Ismaila Sarr had the Eagles on level terms in the 11th minute, though, after beating David Raya with a perfectly placed effort from range. Jesus regained the Gunners’ lead in the 25th minute, with another powerful strike after a corner eventually fell for the Brazilian inside the box before Kai Havertz added a third for Arsenal. The Gunners took the game beyond Palce’s reach as Gabriel Martinelli added a fourth after a flurry of Arsenal chances in the 60th minute, after poking in Declan Rice’s initial effort. Rice would get a goal of his own, however, with a beautiful curling effort i...

GOOGLE REJECTS BID TO SELL CHROME BROWSER, PROPOSES LICENSING RESTRICTION.

Google late Friday countered a US call to sell its Chrome browser, suggesting a judge address antitrust concerns by barring the firm from making favourable treatment of its software a condition of licensing. Google filed a 12-page proposed order banning the internet giant from requiring favourable distribution or treatment of its software on mobile devices as a condition of licensing popular apps like Chrome, Play or Gemini. In contrast, the US government in November asked a judge to order the dismantling of Google by selling its widely used Chrome browser in a major antitrust crackdown on the company. The US Department of Justice urged a shake-up of Google’s business that includes banning deals for Google to be the default search engine on smartphones and preventing it from exploiting its Android mobile operating system.
