Thirteen years later, José Mourinho led Real Madrid into the Camp Nou, and he led them out again with a late, late victory that opens up a whole new world. With three minutes remaining and the energy with which they had played dropping, a wonderful piece of skill from Jude Bellingham found Eduardo Camavinga and set them on one last run on a night in which there were so many of them. Camavinga sprinted into the area, slipped away from Pau Cubarsí and pulled the ball back for Kylian Mbappé to provide the finish.
It had been an intense, breathless ride, a proper battle, and Madrid had won it, Mbappé getting his second goal of a special match to end Barcelona’s record nine-game winning run. So much for a battering, so much for Barcelona going nine points clear, the title race run before November; there is life in Madrid and in this league. Life in their manager too; this was planned and executed to perfection, and not the way that might have been expected.

Here are a few valuable life lessons to be gathered from the new six-part series Adultery, which is about adultery.
One, don’t bother.

Just when we thought we were out, they pull us back in. Seventeen months after it huffed off in its Toyota Omertà, This City is Ours is back for a second series of high-stakes gangland bastardry. Which means, all things being equal, or at least Liverpudlian, we can expect more of the following: convoluted drug deals conducted over congealing ragu; shouting; tiny-skulled henchmen with chests of astonishing bulbosity, as if someone had squeezed their legs like tubes of toothpaste and all the meat had been forced up to their armpits; beards. So yes, it’s back. Go tell it on the mountain. And bring a shovel while you’re at it. A shovel? Yes, a shovel. Now stop asking questions and start digging; this corpse won’t disappear by itself.
“’Ee’s gone,” whimpers Cheryl (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), blinking weepily in the Marbella sunshine as troubled mobster Michael (James Nelson-Joyce) manoeuvres the decomposing remains of her late husband into a makeshift grave. And ‘ee has. Gone that is. Poor Davy (Stephen Walters). Shot by erratic kingpin Ronnie Phelan (Sean Bean) for leaking information about a drug deal, his life snuffed out like a heavily discounted Yankee Candle. Davy is now, alas, gravy.

A Course Called Ireland is a new documentary in which Bill Murray golfs his way around the “Emerald Isle” while reflecting on everything from his great-grandmother to worms. The heart leaps. Bill Murray? The same Bill Murray whose genius for wounded obnoxiousness was so beautifully deployed in Groundhog Day and Lost in Translation? Yes, the same Bill Murray.
A montage of coming attractions does little to dampen the ardour. Here is the 76-year-old actor teeing off amid the gasp-inducing greenery of County Kerry. Here he is squinting at the “hardworking Irish worms” that stripe the fairways of coastal Cork. And here he is saying “hah-hah” in a variety of other golf-adjacent locations while surrounded by locals whose body language suggests that they, too, are in the process of saying, or at least thinking, “hah-hah”. We ready our jaws for the cavalcade of bittersweet guffaws that will inevitably follow.

The local electoral court ordered the immediate restoration of 100% of the bus fleet and ordered the arrest of the municipal transport secretary, Pablo Souza, on suspicion of an electoral offence and disobeying court orders. The arrest warrant could not be carried out, however, because he is in Paris on what the city government described as an “official mission”, and is not expected to return to Brazil until Monday.
Late in the afternoon, Flávio Bolsonaro also filed requests for voting to be extended by two hours in cities in the states of São Paulo, Paraná and Santa Catarina, but because of heavy rain that he said had prevented voters from turning out.

AUSTIN (ANP) - Kimi Antonelli heeft met de zege in de Grote Prijs van de Verenigde Staten zijn eerste wereldtitel in de Formule 1 voor het grijpen. De Italiaan bleef in zijn Mercedes de Monegask Charles Leclerc in de Ferrari en Max Verstappen in de Red Bull voor en won met grote voorsprong zijn negende Grand Prix.
Met de vierde plaats voor de Brit Lewis Hamilton in de Ferrari en de achtste plaats voor zijn Britse teamgenoot George Russell kan Antonelli zich nog niet de nieuwe wereldkampioen noemen.
Antonelli heeft na de zege 365 punten. Russell staat tweede met 242 punten en Hamilton derde met 241 punten. Er volgen nog vijf races dit seizoen. Max Verstappen staat vierde met 236 punten en kan een wereldtitel van Antonelli niet meer bedreigen.
In de Grote Prijs van Mexico op 1 november krijgt Antonelli een nieuwe mogelijkheid om de jongste wereldkampioen ooit in de Formule 1 te worden.
PARIJS (ANP/AFP) - Na meer dan een maand van protestacties worden vertegenwoordigers van de Franse scholieren maandag om 14.30 uur ontvangen door premier Sébastien Lecornu. Dat melden de organisaties Renouveau lycéen en Les Lycéens!
Volgens bronnen binnen de regering zal Lecornu na de ontmoeting aankondigingen doen met betrekking tot bepaalde eisen van de middelbare scholieren, die al sinds half september met protestacties hun ongenoegen uiten. Het zou onder meer gaan om vervangende docenten, schoolgebouwen, lesuren, klasgroottes en Parcoursup, het Franse systeem voor toelating tot het hoger onderwijs.
Vrijdag had president Emmanuel Macron al laten weten dat de regering maandag maatregelen aankondigt. "De regering lijkt bereid om aan onze eisen tegemoet te komen. We moeten onze acties voortzetten om uit deze opening zoveel mogelijk voordelen voor middelbare scholieren te halen", zei vicevoorzitter Louis Létoublon van Les Lycéens!
De gloednieuwe ‘studentenpartij’, bestaande uit onervaren experts en geleerden, kreeg 51 procent van de stemmen, de regerende partij SNS 40 procent. Ondanks repressie en zonder boegbeeld sloeg de boodschap van verandering breed aan.

The win takes the Alpine driver up to second in the Drivers’ Standings with just two races to go.
