Here’s how Haaland’s 40th Champions League goal went

Erling Haaland’s goal against RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday not only helped lift Manchester City to a 3-2 comeback win, but it also happened to be the Norweigan’s 40th Champions League goal. That makes Haaland the fastest player to reach 40 goals in the comPetition, doing so in just 35 Games. The last player to reach 40 the fastest before Haaland was Ruud van Nistelrooy, who needed 45 Games to reach 40, 10 more than Haaland.

Behind Haaland and van Nistelrooy is Kylian Mbappé, who scored 40 in 59 Games. Two of the Game’s greatest goalscorers, Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski, both needed 61 Games to reach 40.

This new record comes just days after Haaland broke the Premier League record for reaching 50 goals the fastest, which he achieved in just 17 Games.

Meta previews generative AI tools planned for its platforms

Facebook owner Meta Platforms on Thursday gave employees a sneak peek at a series of AI tools it was building, including ChatGPT-like chatbots planned for Messenger and WhatsApp that could converse using different personas.

The showcase provided the first concrete indications of how the social media giant is planning to make its own generative AI tools available to its 3.8 billion monthly users, months after competitors like Google, Microsoft and Snapchat announced a rush of launches of such tools in their products. Meta has yet to roll out any consumer-facing generative AI products, although it announced last month that it was working with a small group of advertisers to test tools that...

Apple suppliers slide on China anxiety, threat from Huawei

Image
SHANGHAI: China's widening curbs on iPhone use by government staff intensified a sell-off in global tech stocks on Friday on fears Apple and its supplier s could take a hit from rising Sino-US tensions and growing com Pet ition from Huawei. Apple shares tumbled 6.4% in the previous two days, wiping $190 billion from its market capitalisation, following news Beijing ordered some central government employees in recent weeks to stop using iPhones at work. Several Wall Street analysts on Friday said the selloff was overdone, claiming that any revenue hit for Apple would likely be small due to the phone's popularity in China. After two days of declines, Apple shares rebounded in Friday trading, up 1.3%. Apple is facing stepped-up com Pet ition from China's Huawei, which launched two new smartphones - the foldable Mate X5 and the Mate 60 Pro+ - that drew global attention for showcasing resilience to US sanctions. Some analysts believe Huawei...

Marquez didn’t want to battle Martin in Qatar to not hurt his MotoGP title hopes

Image
Martin endured a torrid grand prix in Qatar on Sunday, as a problem with his rear tyre meant he struggled to 10th while title rival Francesco Bagnaia finished second. The Pramac rider is now 21 points adrift of Bagnaia in the championship, having cut his lead down to seven 24 hours earlier after winning the sprint, and later raged against Michelin for 'stealing' the title from him. Martin found himself at one stage fighting with Honda's Marquez before the eight-time world champion eventually finished down in 11th. Speaking after the race, Marquez said he could see Martin was struggling with rear grip but didn't want to fight him too hard as the points gained wouldn't have "changed my life". "I did the whole race behind Martin," Marquez said. "At the beginning I saw that he was pulling hard and we were catching the group a little bit, but then I saw that he was starting to lose quite a bit of speed compare...
