GIANLUIGI BUFFON HAD ASSERTED IT AND LEARNED IT TO HIS COST: LIONEL MESSI IS AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL

-


At Camp Nou, the Italian goalkeeper lost his invincibility to Lionel Messi, author of a double in a meeting he tipped.
"Messi is an alien who allows himself to play with humans." Before the 2015 Champions League final won by Barça against Juventus Turin in Berlin (3-1), Gianluigi Buffon had testified of his respect for Lionel Messi. Last night at the Camp Nou, the native of Rosario finally knew how to find the fault to register his first two goals against the possible best guardian of the history. The European cycle of the Barça de Valverde saw his script written by the inspiration of Messi and it could hardly be otherwise. 

The 3-0 score may seem tough for Juventus Turin, remaining very relative in the general context - Chiellini, Khedira, Mandzukic, Marchisio and Cuadrado absent, a match in the group stage of C1 - but it shows that Messi, under the direction of Valverde, could shine as rarely. Messi , who is a permanent danger generator, has often received the low ball in the first half, in conditions that are not optimal, less frequent than usual, he missed several passes. Only, at the first opportunity with a minimum of space - created by himself following a feint of pass to Alba - the difference was made, leaving Buffon without reaction.
After being implicated on the second goal of the meeting, Rakitic's work, Messi again deceived the Juve captain from a strike placed at the opposite side of the direction taken by the Carrara native. With 96 goals in the Champions League, the bar of 100 should, without injury, be crossed shortly. The start of the season in Liga saw Messi return to his first love evolving as a fake number 9, like the Guardiola era. The encounter against Juve confirmed this new positioning, forcing by ricochet Luis Suarez to settle for an outpost position.

The Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of Innoson group of companies, Innocent Chukwuma, has opened up on the warrant of arrest issued against him by Lagos High Court. DAILY POST earlier reported that a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja issued a warrant of arrest on him. However, Chukwuma said the judge who issued his arrest warrant, erred in law, adding that due process ought to have been followed in his arraignment. A statement by the spokesman of Innoson Group, Cornel Osigwe, quoted Chukwuma as saying the order was done in bad faith because fair hearing was not granted to Joseph Mbadugha, his counsel. The Statement reads, ”The issuance of bench warrant led to a wild jubilation by some staff of GTB and their lawyers who were fully seated in the court. “It must be stated that based on the submission of Prof Mbadugha, counsel to Innoson, the judge erred in law by making an order to issue a bench warrant against Innoson. “The court is bound by law to listen ...

 Voters in Anambra state go to the polls to elect a new governor this weekend, with security tight after a call from a pro-Biafran group for people to boycott the polls. The result of Saturday’s election is unlikely to change anything politically at the national level but proceedings are being watched closely because of what analysts have said are “unprecedented” measures to stop unrest. Nigeria’s federal police said it is sending 26,000 extra police officers, including counter-terrorism and bomb disposal specialists, sniffer and attack dogs. Three surveillance helicopters will monitor proceedings from the air, while there will be 10 gunboats on the river Niger, plus 15 armoured personnel carriers and 303 patrol vehicles. Police said the measures were “to ensure adequate security and safety of lives and properties before, during and after the elections”. “Police personnel deployed for the election are under strict instructions to be polite and civil but firm in...
