He called Ronaldo the best of all time. AFP Samuel Eto'o offered an interview to 'Sky Sport' in Italy in which he spoke about the past and future of Inter Milan. Still, in the comparison with Juventus, the name Cristiano Ronaldo came up, who the Cameroonian called "the best of all time". Samuel Eto', now an observer on the playing fields, had an interview with 'Sky Sport' which he was asked to do as an  ex-Inter  player.  The ex-Cameroon striker spoke about the comparison between Inter and Juventus. "I see Juve and... I don't know. They have Cristiano Ronaldo,  the best of all time , or Dybala, another phenomenon, but I would like to see the Sarri of Empoli again", he assured. All this because Eto'o hopes the Italian coach will bring something more to Juve: "He's different from when he was at Empoli or Chelsea.

Manchester United’s three different goal-scorers in their emphatic 3-0 win over Watford on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League. Naturally, most of the attention has gone to the trio, with Fernandes in particular earning comparisons with the likes of Paul Scholes and Juan Sebastian Veron from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – not too shabby at all. But whilst the Portugal international in particular enjoyed an outstanding game with a goal and an assist, one man who may have gone under the radar despite having an impressive outing himself, is Nemanja Matic. The Serbia international was linked with a move away from Old Trafford in recent weeks, but his performances since the New Year even led to Solskjaer claiming “he is playing the best football since I’ve been here” last month. And against Watford on Sunday, he showed exactly why his manager said that. As per Sofascore, his 7.8 match rating was only bettered by Fernandes and Greenwood, who of course both got on the score-sheet. Matic’s...

While rummaging in our inbox today, we stumbled upon these images of the Infinix S5 Pro in the wild. After some back and forth with our tipster we were able to verify that this is the as of yet unannounced Pro variant of the  Infinix S5  by the Hong Kong-based maker. The pictures offer a comprehensive view of the phone we got little specs to go along. We can clearly see the Infinix S5 Pro wukk have a large screen, not that it's surprising seeing how the Infinix S5's panel already stretches to 6.6 inches. The non-Pro packed an octa-core Helio P22 with 4GB of RAM so we'd expect the Pro to top that, but it's yet to be confirmed. The main camera array on the rear is headlined by a 48MP shooter. There are two other cameras on the back, although their purpose is yet to be revealed. The front-facing camera retracts into the phone body through a mechanized pop-up. Its resolution is still unknown, but the images show that it has auto HDR.   Infinix S5 Pro We'll ke...

This Google Assistant Updates revamp starts with a  familiar greeting  and places your profile avatar in the top-right corner.
