  Liverpool booked their place to face holders Real Madrid in the Champions League final despite losing 4-2 to Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.    Jurgen Klopp's side headed to the Italian capital with a commanding 5-2 advantage from last week's first leg, where their Serie A opponents snatched faint hopes of a comeback by netting a pair of late away goals. Still, Roma had no margin for error – certainly not to the magnitude of the woeful blind pass midfielder Radja Nainggolan played in the ninth minute that resulted in Sadio Mane opening the scoring.    An incredibly unfortunate James Milner own goal did not knock Liverpool off their stride, with Georginio Wijnaldum restoring their ample cushion in the 25th minute. First-leg goalscorer Edin Dzeko got in on the act seven minutes into the second half and frantic Roma pressure followed.    The mountain proved too steep for Eusebio Di Francesco's side to climb and the chances of a comeback to match their quarter-final h

Mane Firmino and Salah     After Radja Nainggolan's horrendous pass was picked up, the striker was fed in by Roberto Firmino and finished in emphatic fashion past Alisson.  The goal put Liverpool 6-2 ahead on aggregate, with Georginio Wijnaldum later restoring the four-goal advantage following James Milner's own goal.    The trio of Mane, Mohamed Salah and Firmino have now hit no less than 29 goals in this year's Champions League. Salah and Firmino have contributed 10 each, with Mane chipping in with nine more.   That is more than any other forward trident has ever managed in a single campaign, bre

   Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has said Nigeria is on a terminal nose-dive and that its pilot, who he noted is missing, must cry for international help as many had advised. Soyinka, who stated this in a statement he issued on Sunday titled, “May Day! May Day!! May Day!!!,” in commemoration of the 2018 Workers’ Day described the ongoing killings in the country as “ethnic cleansing.” Wole Soyinka   The critic, who said May Day, that he uttered thrice, signified a distress call, adding that long before its adoption for that function, however, and more traditionally, there did exist Labour (or Workers’) Day, dedicated to the entitlement of workers to the value and dignity of their labour. He noted that the Nigerian constituency was left to determine which attribution or both, or none was deafeningly clamorous on May 1, 2018.  Soyinka stated, “No matter, one feels it a duty to call the attention to the painful convergence of both appropriations.
