Cairo, Egypt, March 15, 2018- Ahly has ultimately reach the landmark in African volleyball. Ahly marked their name in history books with their ninth title of the women’s club championship following their exuberant 3-0 (25-9, 29-27, 25-8) hammering over Carthage on Thursday at Ahly Hall in Cairo, Egypt.

The first set started strong and a consistently good of number points led Ahly ahead of Carthage with a 16-5 lead in the second technical time out. Ahly kept up the lead, celebrating a startling win of 25-9.

A few deceitful serves in the second set put Ahly one step ahead of CFC, the reigning champions CFC, struggled to claw back throughout the set. The tension rose with each point. As Ahly continued to pick up their form and they killed the set 29-27 with two ace from them.

In the third set all the pieces seemed to fit together for Ahly. The 2016 winners kept regrouping the balance on court so as to avoid having huge holes, leading 16-5 in the second technical time out.

The entire hall all cheered up the Egyptians for the fight and chanted for their great win against CFC as they reclaimed the crown back to Egypt.

This match had the best support of the tournament with a near full capacity crowd of over 500. They loved every minute of the match and the place shook when Ahly won the last point.

Barcelona corporate director Pancho Schroder concedes Lionel Messi's huge buyout clause may not be enough to frighten off big spenders. The Argentine maestro put a halt to speculation he could leave the Catalan giants by signing a contract extension until 2021 in November, with the deal including a €700 million release clause. But Schroder told Sky Sports: "We have established a clause that we consider sufficient for Messi to retire at Barcelona, but, having said that, a year ago we thought that Neymar's clause was also good enough to keep him and last summer it proved that it was not so.

I am a happy man and all good.” His comments come after German magazine  Der Spiegel  published an interview with Kathryn Mayorga in which she publicly identified herself as the woman making the allegation. The same magazine last year published a  report  stating Ronaldo had reached a $375,000 settlement with an unnamed woman in 2010. Her lawyer told Der Spiegel they are now seeking to nullify that agreement. “I’ve had like these serious breakdowns,” Mayorga told Der Spiegel. “And again, blaming of the rape. And I blame him, and I blame myself for signing that thing.” In a statement provided to BuzzFee...
