It comes in a good time. When things are going well they jump on the train. Now things are difficult, let’s see where they stand”, added Arteta.

“Kevin must know how much the people love him. He’s incredible. Kevin, until he decides to leave or retires, will forever be one of the most beloved players. We are really pleased for him”, said City’s boss Pep Guardiola after the match. 

However, Guardiola remains cautious and said that De Bruyne will need many more training sessions before he can play 90 minutes again. “I said before that he needs to accumulate training sessions more than games.

The pregnancy rumors started after the actress made a brief appearance in the background of DDG’s livestream in August, and many people guessed she had a baby bump. Halle started to wear clothes covering her belly, or posing from different angles.

Last Saturday, former President  Donald Trump, officially launched his election campaign in the state of Iowa. During his rally, he made misleading statements by stating that he would win “for the third time”, even though he had won in 2016 and lost in 2020 to Joe Biden, without admitting defeat. The following Monday, Iowa will host the first polling stations of the Republican Party primaries, which Trump seeks to represent in this year’s November presidential elections.

Despite the legal proceedings in which he is involved, Trump aims to return to the White House on January 20, 2025. In a two-hour speech in Newton, he superficially addressed the events of January 6, 2021, portraying the invaders of the Congress building like hostages. The former president promised to grant many pardons if he is re-elected.

In criticizing his likely opponent in the November elections, Joe Biden, Trump blamed the current president for the economic decline, chaos at the borders and failure to stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He suggested that Biden’s re-election could lead to World War III. Despite legal challenges and the risk of arrest due to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, polls indicate that Trump maintains a significant lead, with 60% support in internal Republican elections, surpassing his main opponents.

Although he denies having incited his followers to attack the Capitol, Trump persists in claiming that the 2020 elections were rigged. A criminal trial to assess his responsibility and influence in trying to overturn the election results is scheduled to begin on March 4.

The resurrection of the King of Rock will be possible thanks to the fusion of technology, augmented reality, theater, projection and multisensory effects.

As the trade deadline approaches (February 8), two teams appear to be entering the race to acquire Zach LaVine: Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings.

The Kings were the first to express interest in LaVine, looking to form a powerful trio with De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. In this scenario, Sacramento’s standout player Keegan Murray is mentioned as a possible target, but sources indicate that the team is not likely to include him in any negotiations, as explained by Sam Amick of The Athletic.

On the other hand, LaVine has the Kings as one of his preferences, although the Warriors were not mentioned in his preferences. Scott Perry, former GM of the New York Knicks, suggested a trade involving LaVine, but he highlights that the Warriors must carefully evaluate whether acquiring the player would bring them closer to the conference and NBA finals.

During the Hoop Genius podcast, BJ Armstrong suggested the inclusion of Jonathan Kuminga in the possible trade, proposing a package that would involve the young power forward, Draft picks and a high-salary player, such as Chris Paul, whose contract expires at US$30, 8 million. Perry, however, advises against the Warriors including Kuminga in the trade, considering the significant investment made in his development and his potential usefulness in the post-Curry era.
