CR7 dumps his girlfriend, a Russian model, Irina Shayk. Rumours of the failing relationship began when the ace footballer showed up in the Ballon d’Or without the company of   the girlfriend.

  It was a very entertaining game at Anfield, but it was only the hosts that offered anything attacking-wise. Chelsea came and got what they wanted, a result to bring back to Stamford Bridge.   Liverpool gave Chelsea a fearful going over, but the Chelsea defence held firm just about. Courtois made some good saves. Sterling was absolutely brilliant, the most exciting English forward I can remember for many a year. His goal was superb, his all-round play top class. Whether he can inspire Liverpool to a result at Stamford Bridge is another matter, that away goal might be the killer.
