Sports update of the week

Catalan police arrest Josep Maria Bartomeu

Former Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu alongside three other ex-officials of the club were arrested on Monday, as the Catalan police raided the club’s Nou (Nu) Camp offices.

Bartomeu spent the night in the Les Corts police station, as did Masferrer, but Grau and Ponti were reportedly not detained.

The operation was connected to last year’s Barcagate, in which club officials were accused of launching a smear campaign against current and former players, who were critical of the club and Bartomeu.

Cristiano bags 20th goal of the season

Cristiano Ronaldo bagged his 20th goal in the Italian Serie A this season on his 600th league appearance as Juventus beat Spezia 3-0.

The Portuguese superstar scored the third goal of the game late on with Alvaro Morata and Federico Chiesa also getting themselves on the score sheet.

The goal also meant he becomes the first player ever to score at least 20 goals in each of the last 12 seasons in Europe’s top five leagues.

NBA: James Harden sets new record

The Brooklyn Nets All-Star guard James Harden became the first player known to ever post a 30-15-10 line without committing a single turnover in an overtime victory against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night.

The performance, statistically speaking, was historic and since the 1977-78 season when individual turnovers have only been tracked, no player has managed the feat.

That all-around dominance has been a staple of Harden’s since joining the Nets. While his scoring has decreased from the absurd levels he reached in Houston, he has averaged an NBA-best 11.1 assists per game since joining the Nets to go along with 8.4 rebounds per contest.

Chelsea beats Liverpool

Chelsea gave their top-four chances a massive boost with a big win against rivals Liverpool as Mason Mount’s first-half strike made it five straight losses for the Reds at Anfield.

The win also means Thomas Tuchel remains unbeaten since joining Chelsea. His side dominated the first half and saw Timo Werner’s 24th-minute strike ruled out by VAR for being marginally offside. However, Mason Mount fired past Alisson to give the Blues a deserved win.
