Ronaldo refuses to rule out future Barcelona move
CR7 has refused to rule out a future move to Barcelona although the Real Madrid star admits it would be "very complicated" to join the Camp Nou side.
The Portugal international's future has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks although speaking after Real's 8-0 win over Malmo he again insisted that he is happy at Real Madrid.
Ronaldo admitted he was keeping his options completely open with regards his future.
"It's a little more difficult, but...," he said, when speaking about his future before pausing and adding. "There are things that you kind of already have an idea, that to play one day for Barcelona would be almost impossible, or to play for another English club other than Manchester, it's very complicated.
"But that's not 100 per cent guaranteed. As I said before, there are no certainties in football. Everything is open, all leagues. I may end my career here with Real Madrid. I'm just being honest.

Death sentence: Rev King knows fate Feb 26
The Supreme Court yesterday fixed February 26, next year, for
judgment in the appeal by the General Overseer of the Christian Praying
Assembly, Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Reverend King.
King is challenging the judgment of a Lagos High Court, which sentenced him to death by hanging.
The Apex Court, presided over by Justice Walter Onoghen, adjourned for judgment after hearing arguments from prosecution and defence counsel.
Lagos State Attorney General Adeniji Kazeem, who appeared alongside the Director of Public Prosecution, Mrs. Idowu Alakija, urged the court to dismiss the appeal.
Ezeugo was convicted and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for the attempted murder and death by hanging for murder.
Dissatisfied, he challenged the verdict before the Court of Appeal in Lagos, but the appeal was thrown out.
Justice Fatimo Akinbami, who read the judgment, said: “I hereby rule that the prosecution effectively discharged the burden of proof on it.
“This appeal is devoid of any basis and accordingly fails.
“The judgment of the High Court is hereby affirmed and the conviction imposed on the appellant, (which is death by hanging) is also affirmed.”

How Church Members Scrambled To Get Anointed Condoms Blessed By Pastor
A self-proclaimed Pastor
identified as Paul Sanyangore, recently made the headlines after he
allegedly blessed condoms for his church members during a service.
According to our source in Kenya,the church members both married and unmarried all scrambled to grab their own ‘blessed condoms’.Pastor Sanyangore, regarded as one of the most controversial pastors in Kenya said “I prophesied to a certain woman that her husband would return two years after his mysterious disappearance. I am not sure but during the week, the husband called her telling her he would come back home.
“She came to church and
during prayer time, she took the condoms out and handed them to my
assistant asking if they were okay to use when her husband returns.
“I saw nothing wrong in
her using them with her husband after two years of absence. Who knows
what he was doing there so it is better to be safe.
“When I prayed for the condoms, some women came out and wanted to have them.
Pastor Sanyangore, who is known for performing several miracles said
God heals any diseases and the condom gospel puts him on the spotlight because he prays for condoms.
