When Real Madrid sold Cristiano Ronaldo in July, fans and local media alike all asked the same question: how do you replace him? Ronaldo was Real’s all-time top scorer, notching up 451 goals in 438 games in all competitions. He led the club to four Champions League titles from the last five available and was invariably the man who dug his side out of a hole with a goal from nothing just when they most needed a hero. The message from inside the club, however, was that they did not need to make a ‘Galactico’ splash in the transfer market, and that the answer lay within the team already. Gareth Bale, signed in 2013 for a then worlds record £85.3 million from Tottenham Hotspur following an extended public courting, had long been marked out by Real president Florentino Perez as the man to take over from Ronaldo. It was also suggested that French forward Karim Benzema would be freed from the shackles many perceived the Portuguese had placed on him and finally be able ...

Real Madrid earned a payout of just over €88.6 million from Uefa following the Spanish giants' record 13th European Cup title last season. Uefa distributed a total of 1.412 billion euros to all the clubs that participated in the 2017/18 Champions League group stage, as well as the 10 teams eliminated in the play-off round. The money was allocated based on performance and "market pool" payments, which were determined by the value of the TV market in each country. Runners-up Liverpool collected 81.3 million euros, slightly less than the 83.8 million paid to semifinalists Roma, while Italian giants Juventus received 80.1 million. Bayern Munich, who lost to Real in the last four, placed fifth on the list with 70.5 million euros. Clubs knocked out in the group stage received between 17.4 and 46.5 million euros based on their results, with each participant guaranteed a minimum of 12.7 million euros. Clubs that lost in the play-offs pocketed a minimum of three million eur...

Fabinho's impressive display in Liverpool's midweek Champions League success has left his manager Jurgen Klopp with a difficult decision to make ahead of the team's return to domestic action at home to Cardiff on Saturday. But, more importantly for Liverpool fans hoping to see an end to their club's 29-year wait to be crowned champions of England again, the Brazilian's emergence offers yet more hope that Klopp is assembling a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League trophy, with the Reds currently level on points with leaders Manchester City. The 25-year-old, signed from Monaco for £39.9 million ($51.4 million, 45 million euros) in pre-season, has made a slow and stuttering start to his life in English football. His 21-minute substitute appearance in last weekend's victory at Huddersfield is still the only league football he has to his name this season, with Klopp appearing to have done a masterful job of integrating him carefully into his line-up...

Arica Parinacota Region . It is part of the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes, one of four distinct volcanic chains in South America.   The town of Putre lies at the southwestern foot of the volcano. Like other volcanoes of the Central Volcanic Zone, Taapaca formed from the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South America Plate . It lies on the western margin of the Altiplano high plateau, on top of older volcanic and sedimentary units. Taapaca reaches a height of 5,860 metres (19,230 ft) above sea level. It is usually covered by snow but does not feature glaciers . It consists primarily of many overlapping lava domes that formed during several stages of eruptions, starting during the Pliocene . The emplacement of lava domes was often followed by their collapse and block-and-ash avalanches. The most recent eruption is dated to 320
