New Zealand has voted to protect LGBTQ youth from so-called “conversion therapy.”In an almost unanimous vote, the New Zealand Parliament voted 112 to eight in favour of banning the controversial  practice. So-called “conversion therapy” is the discredited and dangerous practice that is intended to change, often by force, a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity and expression. The New Zealand Herald reported that it is now an offence to “perform conversion practices on a child or young person aged under 18, or on someone with impaired decision-making capacity. Such offences would be subject to up to three years’ imprisonment, and up to five years where it has caused serious harm, irrespective of age.”Leader of End Conversion Therapy NZ Shaneel Lal tweeted, “The ban on conversion therapy is a win for humanity, not just the queer community.

Liverpool's fading hopes of silverware this season took another blow this week - and it seems they are now turning their attention to strengthening their squad in the summer.

Real Madrid went out to exploit the changes in Liverpool's defence during the 3-1 win in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final.Ozan Kabak and Nat Phillips have performed admirably in recent weeks, but struggled against Los Blancos, with the hosts able to run in behind the high line.“Lots of things went well in the first half," Kroos told Sony Sports India. "We came out very motivated and even concentrated in our gameplan and it went well."We tried to attack them very early because we knew they have had to change some players because they have injured players at the back."We thought that’s going to be a good chance to win the ball very early.

Jurgen Klopp tore into officials after watching his Liverpool side suffer a 3-1 defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Liverpool slumped to a 3-1 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid on Tuesday night - and Michael Owen was in agreement with Rio Ferdinand about their biggest problem right now.It proved a disappointing evening for the Reds, who went in at the break 2-0 down following first-half strikes from Vinicius Jr and Marco Asensio.Mohamed Salah pulled one back after the interval, but with 25 minutes remaining Vinicius added his second and Real's third to give them one foot in the semi-finals.The defeat marked a new low point in Liverpool's season, which has also seen them capitulate while defending their Premier League title.And after the game, Owen concurred with Ferdinand's pre-game assessment about the

Liverpool have it all to do at Anfield after losing the first-leg of their Champions League quarter final 3-1 against Real Madrid.The Reds would have hoped to carry the kind of form they showed in the win over Arsenal, but their first half display was a stark contrast to that showing. Jurgen Klopp’s men struggled to retain possession and when Real opened the scoring it was richly deserved.Just before the half-hour mark Toni Kroos picked out Vinicius Jr.

Liverpool's Champions League quarter-final clash with Real Madrid on Tuesday night.The Reds right-back, who has been the subject of widespread debate after being controversially left out of Gareth Southgate's latest England squad, was run ragged by the likes of Vinicius Jr and Ferland Mendy in what proved a difficult opening 45 minutes for Jurgen Klopp's men.Goals from Vinicius and Marco Asensio have given Real an early 2-0 lead in Madrid, leaving the visitors with a mountain to climb.And fans have taken to social media to point out how tough of an evening Alexander-Arnold is having at right-back.One wrote on Twitter: "Trent being absolutely ripped to shreds.

Real Madrid presidential hopeful Enrique Riquelme has admitted he would attempt to lure Jurgen Klopp to the Bernabeu, if he wins the upcoming elections.Long-time president Floretino Perez has called for a vote to secure a fifth term in office, but 32-year-old Riquelme is set to stand – and is promising big things for Los Blancos.In a recent interview, the Cox Energy CEO claimed that he would look to replace Zinedine Zidane as manager, despite a trophy laden spell under his guidance.On his list of potential replacements, Riquelme has revealed he likes the Liverpool boss a lot, although Real legend, Raul, who is currently in charge of the Castilla team in the Spanish capital, is also an option."Zidane would not be my coach,” Riquelme said,

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has been left with a defensive crisis that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool trio of Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah will look to exploit.Following the news that captain Sergio Ramos will miss the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final through injury, Raphael Varane tested postive for Covid-19 on Tuesday morning.That has given their French boss a huge dilemma before their biggest clash of the season so far, and he could be forced to alter his formation to cover the gaps.That news will come as a postive to Klopp, who is desperate for his side to prove they are still fighting for silverware following their recent Premier League struggles.Real Madrid podcast Managing Madrid are expecting Zidane to

Jurgen Klopp looks set to stick with a similar XI from Liverpool's 3-0 win over Arsenal when they host Real Madrid in the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final tonight. The Reds produced a dominant performance against the Gunners on Saturday to continue their recent hot streak and make it three wins on the bounce in all competitions.Tonight's match against Real Madrid at Anfield promises to be a much sterner test, but Klopp can rely on plenty of in-form stars who are undroppable after recent performances.

Arsenal and Liverpool supporters during their Premier League encounter on Saturday evening.The experienced man-in-the-middle was on hand to adjudicate between Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp’s men in north London, which ended in a comfortable 3-0 win to the visitors.However, it was Attwell's appearance that got people talking rather than his performance, with many questioning his bold hairstyle as those at home await the reopening of hairdressers and barbers.The new style had all the makings of a DIY lockdown trim from home, with a harsh shave around the back and sides without any successful attempt of a fade on top.

Here are three things Klopp got right on a comfortable night for the fallen Premier League champions...Eyebrows were raised when Jota was left on the bench for this clash, given the attacker had scored three goals in two World Cup qualifiers for Portugal during the international break. Instead, Klopp opted to keep faith with the attacking trio of Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, who kept Arsenal's defenders busy but were ultimately unable to find the back of the net in the opening 61 minutes.

Jurgen Klopp has offered a worrying update on Diogo Jota ahead of Liverpool's Champions League quarter-final with Real Madrid.The Reds face Zinedine Zidane's men at the Bernabeu on Tuesday, but it appears they could be without their Portuguese winger.Jota joined Liverpool from Wolves in the summer and scored nine goals in his first 14 matches before picking up an injury against Midtjylland which kept him out for three months.He returned to the side in early March and scored in Liverpool's last game before the international break - the decisive goal in a 1-0 win against Wolves at Molineux.His good form continued for Portugal, netting twice against Serbia and once against Luxembourg in crucial World Cup qualifiers.Jota started both matches,

Liverpool boss reckons it will help the Reds as the defender is now fired up to prove Gareth Southgate wrong.The Three Lions boss surprised many on Merseyside by leaving Alexander-Arnold out of the national squad for the recent World Cup qualifiers.Klopp said: “We always make decisions that other people probably do not understand.“I respect that Gareth makes his own decisions, of course, but I didn’t understand it anyway because Trent Alexander-Arnold was in the last two seasons at least, let me say the season before and the season before that, the stand out right back in world football.“That is the truth and at an unbelievable young age.“He was the stand out right back in world football.

Chelsea have joined the race to sign him.Wijnaldum will be out of contract this summer and will be one of the most sought-after free agents in world football.The 30-year-old has been ever-present for Liverpool this season, and Jurgen Klopp is believed to be eager to keep him.Wijnaldum was the subject of intense interest from Barcelona last year, with Ronald Koeman keen to make him one of his first signings after taking over.However, they failed to stump up the cash, and could now get him on a free. But Barca won't be the only team interested, with Spanish outlet Marca claiming Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are all in the mix.

Liverpool are facing a huge decision ahead of the summer transfer window considering Mohamed Salah.The Reds have a number of players that are being scouted over potential arrivals when the season is over.Jurgen Klopp has seen his side try defend their first-ever Premier League title but ultimately, it looks set to end in failure.Injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez have disrupted their season and they would be happy to get a spot in the top four, let alone the title.As a result, Liverpool are looking to react in the transfer window and Klopp might have to revitalise the squad with several signings.One player being looked at is Ibrahima Konate of RB Leipzig but more attacking options have also been mooted.But paying for such a summer
