Is Ramos the world’s best big-game player?

No city on earth has gone through such a roller-coaster ride–from villain to victim, from horrors to heroics, all in just the past 70 years. First the decadent (and strangely innocent) pre-Nazi world immortalized in “Cabaret.” Then Hitler and the Holocaust: Berlin as the undisputed capital of evil. Yet less than three years after the Battle of Berlin, the city’s Soviet liberators, by blockading it, transformed it into the ultimate symbol of the cold war, a city of heroic freedom-loving survivors....
The Portugal international was snapped up by Pep Guardiola over the summer in a £43.5 million raid on Monaco.

The 23-year-old has been handed only five Premier League starts as City have swept aside all before them in an 18-game winning run, with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne providing fierce competition for places....
As countless memes and jokes images of Sanders went viral following his appearance at last Wednesday’s inaugural event, the senator seized on the opportunity to reprint the image on different products that he began selling on his website the following day. The merchandise all sold out in less than 30 minutes, according to the Associated Press. New products added over the weekend also sold out by Monday. “Jane and I were amazed by all the creativity shown by so many people over the last week, and we’re glad we can use my internet fame to help Vermonters in need,” Sanders said in a written statement....
Sanders shared a Reuters article detailing Clark’s comments on Twitter and responded by questioning Bezos’ position on workers forming a union. “All I want to know is why the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, is spending millions trying to prevent workers from organizing a union so they can negotiate for better wages, benefits and working conditions.” Sanders also called out Bezos on unions earlier this month. Asked in an MSNBC interview what he would say to Bezos, Sanders said: “What is your problem with allowing workers in Alabama to organize for better wages and for better working conditions?...
“Congress can’t go home for the Christmas holidays until we pass legislation which provides a $1,200 direct payment to working class adults, $2,400 for couples and $500 for kids,” the Vermont independent wrote on Twitter. “This is what Democrats & Republicans did in March through the CARES Act.

Sanders, who previously ran against Biden for the Democratic candidacy before dropping out of the race and backing him, spoke of a change from “business as usual” should Trump be ousted. “Defeating Trump is necessary as a first step, but we cannot—and must not—go back to business as usual,” he said. Expanding upon this, he said there must be a “very different” vision for America. “Progressives today understand that if we’re going to stand up for working families, stand up for the poor, stand up for the children, stand up for the elderly and the disabled, stand up for the minority communities that are under attack all across this country, if we’re going to transform our country, we must have the courage to think big not small and have the courage to envisage a very different kind of America and a very different set of national priorities,” he said....
During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, Sanders addressed Trump’s inability to “accept reality” and concede to Biden, even as state after state rejects his unsuccessful re-election campaign’s legal appeals. Sanders said he’s “less and less worried” about Trump trying to stay in the White House after Inauguration Day. “How worried are you that he could actually try to stay in power beyond January 20? What level of threat do you think the lack of progress on a transition poses to the country?...
The Iowa primary debate on Tuesday night ended with Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, declining to shake Sanders’ hand amid a feud between their campaigns.

The two senators share a similar progressive space in the contest and there is some natural crossover between their support bases....
