16 h. ago Thuram and Martínez quell Feyenoord’s fire to put Inter in control of last

Robin van Persie has helped Feyenoord stun Inter before but it will take an almighty turnaround to earn their first European Cup quarter-final since 1972. This was a harsh introduction to the sharp end of management for a local hero whose below-strength side sparkled briefly before their visitors’ knowhow comfortably won out.A goal in each half from Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez meant Inter have a foot in the last eight and, positioned in the softer half of the draw, cannot be discounted from going the distance. It will take time for Van Persie, appointed 10 days ago to harness the legacy bequeathed by Arne Slot, to stamp his identity here; a seasoned Inter, ultimately assured and lethal, look quietly confident in their own skin.

Could it be that they want to see the destruction of the habitable planet?We know that Trump’s overriding purpose is power. We have seen that no amount of power appears to satisfy his craving. So let’s consider power’s ultimate destination. It is to become not only an emperor, but the last of the emperors: to close the chapter on civilisation. It is to scratch your name indelibly upon a geological epoch. Look on my works, ye vermin, and despair.George Monbiot is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...
