Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Mbappe Leads Los Blancos into High-Stakes El Clasico Showdown

Kamal Yalwa04 mins

The Santiago Bernabeu is set to host one of football’s biggest rivalries on Sunday as Real Madrid welcome defending champions Barcelona for the first El Clasico of the 2025/26 La Liga season. Los Blancos, under new manager Xabi Alonso, currently sit two points clear of Barça and will be looking to extend their advantage — powered by the sensational form of Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman has scored 10 of Madrid’s 20 league goals and 15 in all competitions this season, leading Spain’s scoring charts. Last season, Barcelona dominated the rivalry with four straight Clasico victories, including wins in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. That run culminated in Carlo Ancelotti’s departure and Alonso’s appointment as Madrid boss. Madrid enter Sunday’s clash with questions over their big-game resilience after a 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid and a Club World Cup exit to Paris Saint-Germain, but a win over Barcelona would ease concerns and open a five-point gap at the top. Alonso has built a promising partnership between Mbappe and young Turkish playmaker Arda Guler, whose ability to find space and feed Mbappe’s runs has been crucial. With Barcelona’s defence showing early-season fragility, Madrid are expected to target the spaces in behind. For Barcelona, assistant coach Marcus Sorg will take charge on the touchline as Hansi Flick serves a suspension from last week’s win over Girona. He acknowledged that the absence of winger Raphinha, who suffered a hamstring setback, is a major blow but insisted the squad has sufficient depth to cope. The spotlight will also fall on 18-year-old Lamine Yamal, who faces added pressure after his controversial comments about Real Madrid. Sorg said the criticism will serve as motivation for the young winger as he takes on Madrid left-back Alvaro Carreras. This is the 262nd meeting between Spain’s two giants. Real Madrid hold 105 wins to Barcelona’s 104. Kick-off is at 4:15 p.m. local time (14:15 GMT), with live coverage on TrendBrio Sport beginning two hours earlier. Predicted LineupsReal Madrid: Courtois; Valverde, Militao, Asencio, Carreras; Guler, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Mastantuono, Mbappe, Vinicius.Barcelona: Szczesny; E Garcia, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; Pedri, De Jong; Yamal, Fermin, Rashford; Ferran.

Brentford Stun Liverpool 3–2 as Reds Suffer Fourth Straight League Defeat

Kamal Yalwa03 mins

Brentford earned a famous 3–2 victory over Liverpool on Saturday evening, condemning Arne Slot’s side to their fourth consecutive Premier League defeat — matching their total number of losses from the entirety of last season. In a pulsating contest at the Gtech Community Stadium, the Bees dominated much of the match, showing energy and precision that left the visitors repeatedly exposed. Liverpool’s defensive frailties were on full display as they conceded 17 shots, their highest tally of the season. Brentford took control early, and despite a late Liverpool fightback deep into added time, the hosts held firm to secure a well-deserved win. The result sparked jubilant celebrations among home supporters, who rose to their feet for a standing ovation as “Hey Jude” echoed around the ground. Sky Sports reporter Patrick Rowe described the atmosphere as “electric,” adding that the home side were “fantastic from start to finish.” He praised manager Keith Andrews, suggesting that something “special” might be building at Brentford after back-to-back wins over Liverpool and West Ham. Liverpool, meanwhile, continue to struggle under Slot’s leadership. Analyst Zinny Boswell called the performance “remarkable in its decline,” saying: “They just weren’t at the races today. The changes over the summer haven’t worked yet — this doesn’t look like the same team as last season.” In one of the more puzzling tactical moves of the evening, Slot substituted £100 million signing Florian Wirtz for defender Joe Gomez while trailing 3–1, a change that drew criticism from fans and pundits alike. Referee Simon Hooper was replaced at half-time due to an injury, adding to the drama of the evening, but it did little to disrupt Brentford’s momentum. Free match highlights of the game will be available shortly on Sky Sports’ platforms, covering every key moment from one of the most thrilling Premier League fixtures of the season so far.

Madagascar’s New Regime Revokes Citizenship Of Ousted President Andry Rajoelina

Madagascar’s New Regime Revokes Citizenship Of Ousted President Andry Rajoelina

Wale busari02 mins

Madagascar’s new government has revoked the citizenship of former president Andry Rajoelina, a move announced in a decree published Friday, ten days after he was ousted in a military coup. The decree bars Rajoelina from running in future elections. It cites his acquisition of French nationality in 2014, which under Malagasy law automatically nullifies Malagasy citizenship. The order was signed by Prime Minister Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo, and images of the decree have circulated widely in local media. Rajoelina, 51, had faced previous controversy over his dual nationality, which came to light ahead of the November 2023 elections. Despite opposition calls to disqualify him, he won the polls that were boycotted by rival parties. Earlier this month, Rajoelina fled Madagascar after Colonel Michael Randrianirina, head of the army’s CAPSAT unit, refused to carry out orders to suppress ongoing youth-led protests. Rajoelina later said he went into hiding for his safety. Colonel Randrianirina was sworn in as transitional president on October 14, promising new elections within two years as the country navigates a renewed political crisis.

Mbeumo Scores Twice As Manchester United Defeat Brighton 4–2 At Old Trafford

Mbeumo Scores Twice As Manchester United Defeat Brighton 4–2 At Old Trafford

Wale busari02 mins

Bryan Mbeumo scored twice as Manchester United battled past Brighton 4–2 at Old Trafford, securing their third straight Premier League victory and climbing to fourth in the table — their best run since February 2024. United looked comfortable for most of the match, storming to a three-goal lead through Matheus Cunha, Casemiro, and Mbeumo before surviving a nervy finish. Cunha opened the scoring with a sharp low strike from the edge of the box, ending his 16-game goal drought and marking his first goal for the club. Casemiro soon doubled the lead in fortunate fashion when his effort deflected off Yasin Ayari, wrong-footing Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. Mbeumo made it 3–0 on the hour mark, finishing coolly from close range after neat buildup play involving Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Šeško. But the visitors came roaring back late on. Former United striker Danny Welbeck curled in a stunning free-kick with 16 minutes remaining, before Charalampos Kostoulas headed home in stoppage time to set up a tense finale. Just when it seemed Brighton might complete an unlikely comeback, Mbeumo struck again in the dying moments — rifling the ball into the roof of the net to seal the points and ease the home fans’ nerves. The win continued Manchester United’s resurgence under Ruben Amorim, who has guided his team from a rocky spell into top-four contention. With confidence returning and key players finding form, United appear to have rediscovered their spark ahead of a demanding run of fixtures.

FIFA Under Fire For Displaying Incomplete Nigerian Stadium Built With Its Development Funds

FIFA Under Fire For Displaying Incomplete Nigerian Stadium Built With Its Development Funds

Wale busari03 mins

FIFA has drawn widespread criticism after updating its official X (Twitter) header image to display a poorly constructed stadium in Nigeria — one allegedly built with its development funds but missing key features such as stands and seating areas. The image, which quickly went viral, shows a bare field with little to no infrastructure, sparking outrage among Nigerians who described it as a symbol of mismanagement in the nation’s football administration. The stadium, inaugurated in 2023, was financed through FIFA’s Forward Programme, a global initiative that provides funding for football infrastructure and youth development. Nigeria reportedly received $10 million under the program in 2020 to support such projects. However, the facility’s poor state has raised serious questions about how the funds were used. Many critics accused the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) of corruption and negligence, while others questioned FIFA’s oversight of its own funded projects. Online users debated whether FIFA’s use of the image was a mistake or a subtle statement highlighting accountability issues within Nigerian football. The NFF has repeatedly denied allegations of fund mismanagement, insisting that all money received from FIFA and CAF is dedicated to approved, transparent projects. Meanwhile, former Super Eagles captain Jay-Jay Okocha has announced his candidacy for NFF president, promising reforms and integrity in football governance. NFF President Ibrahim Gusau also addressed public concern over the declining standard of Nigeria’s youth teams, assuring that new initiatives are being designed to revive grassroots football and restore the country’s footballing pride. FIFA’s controversial choice of image has since ignited intense online debate, renewing calls for transparency and accountability in Nigeria’s football sector.

Regina Daniels Appears Cheerful In New Video After Days Of Marital Crisis Reports

Regina Daniels Appears Cheerful In New Video After Days Of Marital Crisis Reports

Wale busari03 mins

Actress and entrepreneur Regina Daniels has resurfaced on social media, days after rumors of a serious marital fallout with her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, dominated headlines. On Saturday, the 25-year-old shared clips of herself aboard a private jet, appearing cheerful and relaxed as she enjoyed a drink while surrounded by friends and family. In one of the videos, a man playfully referred to her as a “gold digger,” prompting laughter from Regina — a moment that quickly went viral and reignited public discussion about her marriage. Another clip captured her smiling and chanting “Morale high,” which many fans interpreted as her subtle way of showing confidence despite the ongoing controversy. Her online return follows days of speculation sparked by a viral video where she was seen in tears, saying, “In Ned’s house, I am nothing. But in my house, I am a queen.” In response to the circulating video, Senator Nwoko accused Regina of alcohol and drug abuse, alleging that her substance use was the cause of their marital problems. “Her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem. Regina is the violent one here, slapping staff and destroying property for no just cause,” he stated. The lawmaker said he had offered her rehabilitation both within and outside Nigeria and cautioned those spreading misinformation about his family to desist or face legal consequences. Coincidentally, Nwoko also issued a clarification on Saturday regarding another viral video showing him with a young woman. He dismissed claims that she was a new wife, explaining that she was part of a Peace Ambassadors delegation that visited him and his colleagues in Abuja.

Sunderland Stun Chelsea With Late Winner At Stamford Bridge

Sunderland Stun Chelsea With Late Winner At Stamford Bridge

Wale busari03 mins

Chelsea suffered a shocking 2–1 home defeat to Sunderland at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 25, 2025 — a result that stunned fans and handed the newly promoted side one of their biggest Premier League victories in years. The Blues started brightly, taking an early lead in the 4th minute through Alejandro Garnacho, who calmly slotted home after a clever build-up play. However, their momentum didn’t last long. Sunderland equalized midway through the first half when Wilson Isidor pounced on a long throw to make it 1–1. Despite dominating possession — with nearly 70% control of the ball — and creating several clear chances, Chelsea failed to find a breakthrough. Sunderland’s resilience paid off deep into stoppage time, as Chemsdine Talbi struck a dramatic winner in the 93rd minute, silencing the home crowd and sealing a memorable victory for the visitors. Statistically, Chelsea were superior: 16 total shots to Sunderland’s 10, and nine corners compared to just one for the visitors. But wasteful finishing and late defensive lapses proved costly. The defeat marked Sunderland’s first win at Stamford Bridge since 2014 and a major statement of intent for the newly promoted club, who continue to defy expectations this season. For Chelsea, it was a painful setback in their quest for a top-four finish — a reminder that possession means little without precision or composure in key moments. Sunderland’s disciplined defending and fearless counter-attacks earned them all three points, while Chelsea’s struggles to convert dominance into results will likely raise fresh questions about consistency and focus within the squad.

Wale busari02 mins

Former Big Brother Naija star Ifu Ennada has opened up about a terrifying period in her life when she lost her memory and battled severe depression, describing it as a season that tested her faith to the core. In an emotional Instagram post, she revealed that over the past 18 months, she went through near-death experiences, mental breakdowns, and intense spiritual struggles that almost destroyed her. Yet, she said her faith in Jesus became her anchor through the chaos. According to Ifu, the ordeal began on July 23, 2025 — her birthday — when she suddenly woke up without any recollection of who she was or recognition of her family members. “It felt like my whole life had been erased, but through the Holy Spirit, I did not forget God. I remembered Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the meaning of my name in Hebrews 11:1. I prayed and I held on,” she recalled. Despite sinking into depression and extreme exhaustion, Ifu said her mother’s prayers and her trust in God helped her survive the darkest moments. She likened the experience to a scene from a thriller movie, noting that her recovery was nothing short of divine. Having stayed away from social media for over a year, the actress and entrepreneur said she decided to share her story now to give hope to others struggling with pain, loss, or despair, emphasizing that faith and prayer can truly bring healing and restoration.
