Barcelona Legends 1 Manchester United Legends 3: Ronaldinho steals the show but only after Dwight Yorke’s screamer at the Nou Camp

BARCELONA hero Ronaldinho stole the show in a legends match against Manchester United – but only after Dwight Yorke rolled back the years with a screamer.

The former Red Devils striker, 45, drove one in from 25 yards as United ran out 3-1 winners at the Nou Camp.

And it was further goals from Jesper Blomqvist and Karel Poborsky against a sole Frederic Behu strike for the hosts that sealed the win in the charity match.
Yorke was of course part of that Treble-winning United side of 1999 that clinched the Champions League in the city.
And he looked to have lost hardly any of the old magic with his stunner.
The Barcelona side featured iconic names of the past, including Rivaldo, Edgar Davids and Patrick Kluivert.
And it was Ronaldinho, 37, who almost got on the scoresheet first with a long-range free kick, only for the effort to be saved by Raymond Van der Gouw.
The Brazil legend might not have notched a goal – he was voted Man of the Match – but he did completely humiliate Blomqvist with a soul-crushing nutmeg.

Ronaldinho - who earlier this week posed for a photo with Marcus Rashford - ran rings around the midfielder before nudging the ball throw his legs.
The former Everton star then proceeded to give chase only to fall over.
But it was the Swede who had the last laugh, netting the opener before half-time.

4 Bizarre Underwater Discoveries

Did you know that humans have explored outer space more than our own ocean floor? There are so many things hidden right under our noses and all we have to do is take a deep breath – no, more air! – and dive right under the surface. Sometimes that’s all it takes, and over the years, divers have uncovered some of the most shocking underwater scenes, artifacts and bizarre creatures out there. 1. Submerged Stonehenge A weird stone formation sits deep on the bottom of Lake Michigan. Nobody really knows what it is, what it’s for and if it has any connection to its British look-a-like. One of the pillars even has a picture of an animal that has been extinct for over 10,000 years. More questions than there are answers! 2. A Sculpture Park of Terror Start singing “Under the sea” from “Little Mermaid” while you’re diving to the bottom of the Caribbean Sea to check out what might be the creepiest place on earth.

Politics Fayose dubs Osinbajo a liar, threatens to release 11 pictures on Buhari’s true state

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has branded Acting President Yemi Osinbajo a liar for claiming that President Muhammadu Buhari is recovering very fast and had engaged in a lengthy substantive discussion with him. He has therefore called on Osinbajo to reveal the true state of ailing President Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians or he may be forced to publish about 11 pictures showing the current state of the president’s health. Osinbajo, who traveled to London on Tuesday where he said he visited Buhari and had over an hour meeting with him, had told Nigerians that the ailing President was in “high spirits” and was “recuperating very quickly.” However, Governor Fayose who had earlier claimed that Buhari had been on life support since June 6, speaking with newsmen in Abuja on the matter, accused Osinbajo of lying to Nigerians and threatened that “if care is not taking, I will release pictures and this will create serious problems for the country.” He said, “The offices of the g...
