Chelsea and their owner Roman Abramovich, with the Russian's sanctions preventing the Blues from currently being able to sign new players.However, back in 2014, Abramovich almost made the biggest signing of all, as Lionel Messi was on the brink of trading Barcelona for Chelsea.Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both made moves this summer, although for the Argentine it was his first transfer since turning pro, but both are very much coming to the end of their careers.However, when Chelsea were close to signing Messi he was in his prime, and it was almost a FaceTime call that sealed the deal for the former Barcelona star, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.After an astonishing 41 goals across all competitions in the 2013/14 season, Messi grew frustrated with the Spanish authorities as he was caught in a tax fraud probe, and the Argentine was tempted by a new life in London under Jose Mourinho, according to Di Marzio.After speaking with former Barcelona team-mate Deco, who also had played at Chelsea, a meeting was scheduled between Messi and Mourinho, but via a rather unconventional FaceTime call.But the call reportedly worked at the time, as Messi went to tell his camp afterwards: "With Mourinho, for how he's spoken to me, I can win whatever I want: he's a winner, go ahead and close the deal."HAVE YOUR SAY: Should Lionel Messi stay at Paris Saint Germain next summer? Comment below.Obviously a move never materialised and Chelsea ended up signing Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona instead, and according to Fabrizio Romano, after careful consideration Messi decided to continue his life in Spain.Romano said: "Everything collapsed because Barcelona was something special for Lionel Messi.

The lengthy attack by 60-year-old Parks was described by the judge as a "gratuitous degradation" of his victim.He already had a previous conviction for inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent on the same partner, as well as convictions for beating up a colleague with a spanner and attacking a taxi driver.

“No you won’t, sunshine!” Gemma exclaimed, in her normal voice. The star added: “I’m training, you’re looking after that lot.” Gemma also took to Instagram earlier this week to ask her followers to stick up for her after Gorka poked fun at her wardrobe malfunction fears. Gorka shared a short clip to his story of Gemma as she looked at herself in the mirror of her hotel room. She was wearing a pair of black leggings with a white hoodie and a coat. The star bent over in front of the mirror to make sure her underwear wasn’t showing through her leggings. Gorka addressed his 688,000 followers in disbelief. He wrote: “Is this a thing?” with a number of laughing emojis. Gemma then reposted the story to her own account and asked fans to support her. She wondered if her fans also did a certain ‘test’ to make sure that they didn’t have an outfit blunder. She penned: “Every woman does the ‘see through test’ right?” The pair met in 2017 while she was partnered with Aljaz Skorjanec for Strictly, while Gorka competed with Alexandra Burke. The two went public with their romance in 2018 after the Strictly Tour. At the time, Gemma gushed on Manchester radio station Key 103 : “Obviously we worked together. “I’ve known him for six months now.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorAfter two years of pandemic-induced shutdown and Omicron-postponed reopenings in December and January, Iridium, the downstairs music club in New York’s Times Square known as the “home of Les Paul,” is finishing the second week of its grand reopening, which launched on March 1 with a performance by the Harlem Blues Project, followed by four shows with a fiery jazz-rock band led by guitarist Mike Stern (featuring the great Randy Brecker on cornet), blues guitarist King Solomon Hicks, veteran folksinger Tom Rush and tonight and Saturday, guitarist Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, and jazz guitarist Larry Carlton, including sets focused on his extensively 1970s work with Steely Dan.The unusually intimate (for New York, anyway) 170-capacity downstairs club, which has updated its cleaning procedures and air-filtration system, returned with a full menu (including entrees like “The Les Paul” burger and the plant-based “Jerry Garcia”) a robust wine list and many (potent) specialty cocktails. The club is also launching Iridium Underground, a new series focused on emerging artists, next week with Brooklyn-based guitarist-producer Mario and the Mood.

Guy Lodge Film CriticThis far into his screen career, it shouldn’t be a revelation to anyone that Zac Efron can act. He’s shown canny comic chops in the “Neighbors” films, wounded all-American ennui in “We Are Your Friends” and “At Any Price,” even a credible against-type chill as Ted Bundy in “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile” — none of which has been enough to overtake his bland, floppy-banged, career-minting “High School Musical” persona in the popular imagination.
