      Shakira holds up Barcelona shirt as she poses with staff from Gerard Pique’s former club a year on from split

      The snap was taken as Shakira launched her educational centre in her native Barranquilla, Colombia.
      Fundación Pies Descalzos has been in the drafts since 2018 btu was finally inaugurated thanks to the partnership between Fundació FC Barcelona and the “la Caixa” Foundation.
      The foundation is set to benefit around 1,000 students each year, who will be able to carry out their primary and secondary basic education studies. 
      It will also provide community service by opening development spaces for fathers, mothers and other members of the 53,000-resident neighbourhood.

      “On behalf of myself and my Pies Descalzos Foundation, I express my immense gratitude and pride in having allies and friends such as the Mayor’s Office of Barranquilla, the La Caixa Banking Foundation, the FC Barcelona Foundation, and the Educational Foundation LCI for fulfilling a new dream: building a new school in Barranquilla and continuing to support girls, boys and young people in the city,” Shakira said at the opening ceremony.
      It comes after the Hips Don’t Lie singer revealed the name of her latest track – and it’s seemingly another blast at her ex-Gerard Pique.
      And as she was honoured with the ceremony’s coveted Video Vanguard award, Shakira made sure her ex, Spanish footballer, Gerard Pique, knew what he was missing.
      The Colombian, 46, revealed to The Sun on the pink carpet that her latest single is called The Boss.

      It is an apparent nod to the alleged nickname she was given by Pique’s pals after they said she failed to hang out with them during their 11-year relationship.
      Shakira allegedly never hit it off with the footballer’s friends, who gave her the nickname due to her “bad character” – dubbing her “La Patron” or “The Boss”.
      She later performed her song BZRP MUSIC SESSIONS, VOL. 53, the diss track which took aim at Pique’s relationship with his younger new partner, Clara Chia Marti.
      In June 2022, the Colombian singer and the Barcelona defender announced their separation.
      A statement released via Shakira’s publicist read: “We regret to confirm that we are parting ways.
      “For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy. Thank you for your understanding.”
      Pique wasted no time from moving on as the Spaniard is currently dating a student who works for him.
      Clara, 23, is a PR student who is employed by Pique’s events production company, Kosmos.
      he Sun can reveal that the couple met through the organisation and sources close to them claim that they have been dating for some time.

      A source close to Clara said: “Gerard and Clara have been seeing each other for months.
      “She is a student who also works for him in his office, organising events. More

      Getafe boss forced into embarrassing U-turn over Mason Greenwood after Jude Bellingham comments

      by

      GETAFE’S manager has U-turned on his claim that Jude Bellingham advised Mason Greenwood to move to Spain.Manchester United outcast Greenwood made his Getafe loan debut on Sunday, three months after former England team-mate Bellingham joined Real Madrid.

      Getafe chief Jose Bordalas says Greenwood and Bellingham both ‘clarified’ the situation to himCredit: AP
      And Jose Bordalas now admits he was wrong to suggest a key role in the striker’s move was played by the new Bernabeu hero.
      Greenwood received a mostly positive reception when he came on after 77 minutes at home to Osasuna.
      Visiting supporters, however, appeared to jeer him.
      And according to The Athletic’s Guillermo Rai, they also chanted “Greenwood die”.

      But having come on at 2-2, it was Greenwood’s shot that earned a corner from which Serbia midfielder Nemanja Maksimovic hit Getafe’s winner.
      And afterwards Bordalas revealed Bellingham, 20, and his old Three Lions’ colleague have both put him right over the hitman’s transfer.
      The Spaniard stated: “I had said that Mason Greenwood came to Getafe because he had spoken with Jude Bellingham. 
      “They have clarified to me it was not the case.”
      Most read in Football
      That’s a reversal of what the 59-year-old told Spanish sports station RadioMarca earlier in the week.
      Speaking of his joy at the transfer, Bordalas said then: “It was a surprise, we never thought we could get a player like that. 
      “But they got in touch with our sporting director [Ruben Reyes], we talked, we didn’t think it could happen but both sides made an effort [financially].

      “Greenwood is friends with Bellingham, and he advised him to come to the Spanish league.” 
      Before Sunday, the Red Devils academy product had not played since January 2022, when he started United’s 1-0 home win over West Ham.
      The club suspended Greenwood after he was arrested later that year.
      He was charged with a string of offences including attempted rape. However, the CPS dropped the charges in February 2023.  
      United’s internal investigation into Greenwood finished in August with the club concluding that he would not play for them.

      The statement said: “All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United.
      “It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.” More

      He was named on the bench for the first time ahead of the club’s La Liga clash with Osasuna and made his debut appearance in the 77th minute.
      However, few people were in attendance to watch him play his first game in 20 months.
      Only a fraction of the 16,500-seater stadium, which has an average attendance of around 12,000, was occupied by fans as Getafe clinched a 3-2 win, with the late winner coming from a corner that Greenwood won.
      He was cheered by the home fans as he made his bow, but Osasuna fans were chanting “Greenwood die”, according to journalist Guillermo Rai.

      Stefan Mitrovic opened the scoring in the 36th minute before Iker Munoz equalised on the brink of half time.
      Getafe then took the lead again thanks to a second-half strike from Jose Angel Carmona, but Ante Budimir levelled again just six minutes later.
      Greenwood was introduced with 13 minutes left to play and made an impact on the game, winning the corner that led to the winning goal from Nemanja Maksimovic.
      Greenwood was suspended by Man Utd after he was arrested in 2022.

      He was then charged with a string of offences including attempted rape.
      However, the CPS then dropped the charges in February this year.
      Man Utd confirmed last month that that Greenwood would not be returning to the first-team fold under Erik ten Hag.
      However, the Red Devils did not terminate his £75,000-per-week contract at Old Trafford.

      Fans ask ‘how big is the airport?’ after 15 footie stars miss flight to match after getting lost trying to buy a coffee

      FANS have been left in hysterics after 15 players got lost at an airport and missed their flight – after going to buy a coffee.LaLiga side Las Palmas face Sevilla today with their travel for the game going disastrously wrong.

      The team based in the Canary Islands needed to catch a flight to Spain’s mainland for their away fixture.
      But 15 players were not on board for departure after they wondered off to get a coffee.
      Las Palmas, who secured promotion to the top-flight last season, do not have the finances to afford a private jet for their squad.
      They instead use commercial flights for their regular away day trips and a large contingent of the team missed their plane on Saturday.

      Several went to get a drink and reportedly could not find their way back to the departure gate.
      The flight took off with 15 of the squad and two physios not present.
      A chartered jet was then sent to pick up the embarrassed stars and take them to Sevilla.
      The bizarre situation left fans in stitches, one said: “How have FIFTEEN ADULTS managed to get so lost. Not one of them realised?”

      Another added: “This is what your dad fears happening which is why he makes you turn up to the airport four hours early.”
      A third reacted: “Well that is a new one. I hope it was nice coffee.”
      More commented: “How big is the airport?”
      It is unclear which players missed the flight but the Las Palmas squad features on loan Manchester City star Maximo Perrone, former Everton striker Sandro Ramirez and ex-Barcelona wonderkid Munir El Haddadi. More

      Fans claim ‘obsessed’ Barcelona are missing Cristiano Ronaldo rivalry after bizarre tweet following 5-0 win over Betis

      by

      FANS are convinced “obsessed” Barcelona are missing their rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo after a bizarre tweet.The LaLiga champions thumped Real Betis 5-0 on Saturday night.

      But they put out a strange post following the full-time whistle at their temporary Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys home.
      Because as well as having their own five scorers under the Barcelona name, the Catalan giants also added two ‘goals’ for Real Betis.
      Both were ‘scored’ in the 55th minute – one by Ansu Fati, who has left Barca for Brighton on loan this season and helped the Seagulls beat Manchester United yesterday.
      And the other had the name “C. Ronaldo”, unsurprisingly leaving supporters baffled.
      READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS
      Ronaldo has played against Barcelona 34 times, including 30 times for arch-rivals Real Madrid in El Clasico, with 20 goals in total.
      However, the Portuguese forward has not faced Barca since his double for Juventus in a 3-0 Champions League win in December 2020 – and is unlikely to again any time soon following his move to Saudi side Al-Nassr.
      So users on Twitter were quick to send confused messages in response to the blunder post, which was quickly removed and corrected by Barca’s admin team.
      One said: “Most random error.”

      Another wrote: “Obsessed.”
      A third added: “They’re still having nightmares about Ronaldo scoring against them.”
      A fourth replied: “Rent free.”
      And a final user commented: “How can you even do that accidentally?”
      On the pitch, it was a memorable night for Joao Felix.
      The new loanee from Atletico Madrid put in a man-of-the-match performance – including opening the scoring on 25 minutes then producing a sublime dummy to set up Robert Lewandowski for No2 seven minutes later.
      Ferran Torres, Raphinha and a wonderful solo goal from Joao Cancelo completed the 5-0 rout that put Barcelona top of the table before Real Madrid aim to continue their 100 per cent start to the season against Real Sociedad tonight.

      The 20-year-old has scored five goals in four games for the LaLiga giants so far this season.
      And he produced a masterclass on Tuesday as he produced another goal and created one for Harry Kane for England in their 3-1 win over Scotland.
      He was not the only member of the Bellingham family to switch clubs this summer.
      Younger brother Jobe, who is only 17, also left his elder sibling’s first team Birmingham City to join Championship rivals Sunderland.

      And he has been impressing his new supporters himself with a series of fine displays for the Black Cats.
      Jobe has scored twice in five appearances so far – but some fans have been left perplexed as to why he does NOT have his surname on the back of his shirt like Jude.
      Instead, the midfielder has opted to have his forename above his No.7 instead.
      One supporter previously asked online: “He doesn’t use his surname on his shirt?”

      However, Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has revealed the reason behind his new star’s decision.
      He explained: “I think he’s trying to create his own identity.
      “He doesn’t want to live off the back of his brother’s name; he wants to be the footballer that he is and show people what he can do.”
      And ahead of today’s trip to QPR, Mowbray also added: “He’s an absolute diamond.
      “He just loves football and wants to get better. He tests the coaches every day. He’s got a real growth mindset.
      “At 17, it’s unbelievable. Where he can be in five years’ time, I’m not sure, but I’m really pleased with him. His greatest asset is that he wants to learn.”

      He was not involved in the 2-1 defeat at Real Madrid on September 2 as Jude Bellingham scored a dramatic injury-time winner.
      But Getafe confirmed the striker – who will wear No12 – is on the squad list to face Osasuna in LaLiga this weekend.
      And therefore Greenwood could make his first appearance since January 2022 when he was suspended by United.
      Getafe, managed by Jose Bordalas, sit 14th in LaLiga with one win from their opening four matches.

      United, though, confirmed on August 21 that Greenwood would not be returning into the first-team fold under Erik ten Hag after their own internal probe and a furious fan reaction led by Rachel Riley.
      However, the club did not terminate his £75,000-per-week contract at Old Trafford.
      Greenwood released a statement where he insisted he had not done what he was accused of but was “learning to understand my responsibilities as a professional footballer”.
      There was interest from Lazio and Turkey but a deal was signed with Getafe just moments before the window closed.
      The one-cap England international was unveiled in front of supporters in Madrid.
      He has been joined in the Spanish capital by girlfriend Harriet Robson.
      And Greenwood will be reinstated into EA Sports’ new EA FC 24 video game after being dropped from FIFA 22 following his arrest.
      A statement from EA Sports said: “EA Sports FC 24 authentically reflects the active rosters of teams and clubs in the real world of football.

      “As he is now part of an active roster with Getafe CF, Mason Greenwood will be included in FC 24.”
