Great News For Barcelona! 2 Big Stars Registered Before Start Of La Liga
Barcelona have been able to register Marcus Rashford and Joan Garcia for their LaLiga opener against Mallorca. In an excellent, positive news for Barcelona, they have registered new forward Marcus Rashford and goalkeeper Joan Garcia in time to feature in the Spanish champions' LaLiga opener at Mallorca on Saturday. Barca announced on Saturday that Rashford and Garcia are both part of coach Hansi Flick's squad for the trip across the sea. Rashford signed last month from Premier League giants Manchester United on loan with an option to buy, while Garcia joined from rivals Espanyol in June. The Catalans have found themselves scrambling to register players for the past few years due to financial fair play rules complications. Experts blame it on their high spending on player signings and wages in proportion to their sales and other revenue. Rashford and Garcia's profiles are now listed on LaLiga's website. However, notably, left-back Gerard Martin and keeper Wojciech Szczesny are absent. It suggests Barcelona could be unable to register them together and might be staggering the process over the next few days. Barca have had to get creative to ease their registration woes. It included some curious internal negotiations involving captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen, with the German keeper initially refusing to sign a long-term medical leave agreement that would clear 80% of his wages and help the club comply with financial rules. He was stripped of captaincy while dealing with injuries and only got it back upon agreeing to the deal. Barca were said to be confident that their sale of future proceeds from VIP seats at the Camp Nou for €100m in December last year would help get the registrations over the line. But that's not it, the club's board also agreed on emergency financial action at a recent meeting to get a bank influx of €7million (Around Rs. 71 crore) with club executives putting their personal wealth at risk as a guarantee. According to The New York Times, Barca are yet to resolve their issues completely, including a €1.3bn (Around Rs. 11,376 crores) of debt from when Laporta returned as president in 2021. Barca, at the same time, continue to blame La Liga for differential treatment against them.

Liverpool reportedly prepare fresh bid for Newcastle's Isak; United eyeing alternative to Baleba
Defending Premier League champions Liverpool have not given up on Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak just yet despite the Magpies having rejected their previous offer of £110 million. With two weeks left in the summer transfer window, the Reds have reportedly prepared a fresh bid. Liverpool are yet to give up on Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak with just two weeks left in the transfer window and the 2025-26 season already getting underway. AP The 2025-26 club football season got underway on Friday with top leagues such as the Premier League and LaLiga having their opening fixtures take place on Friday. The with defending champions Liverpool beating Bournemouth 4-2 at Anfield while Rayo Vallecano and Villarreal have won their opening fixtures in the Spanish top-flight against Girona and Oviedo respectively. France's Ligue 1, meanwhile, witnessed Rennes defeat last season's runners-up Marseille 1-0 in the opening game of the season, while Bundesliga and Serie A will get underway next weekend. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The summer transfer window, however, is still on despite the season getting underway in many parts of the world. And while a majority of clubs largely have their squads assembled and raring to go, there are a couple of key trades that are still on and could have a major impact on the upcoming season. More from Football Liverpool prepare fresh Isak bid The biggest among them is Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who has been a target for Liverpool all summer and could still smash the all-time record for the most expensive transfer in British football with a couple of weeks still left in the transfer window. According to Football Insider, the Reds have not given up on the Swedish striker just yet despite their by the Magpies, who are expected an offer in the range of £150 million. Liverpool, who had won only their second Premier League title in Arne Slot's maiden season in charge, are now prepared to shell out £120 million ($162.5 million) for the 25-year-old, who and his teammates. Isak, the second-highest Premier League goal-scorer last season, had skipped Newcastle's pre-season tour of Asia, opting to train by himself in Spain. He continues to remain sidelined, with Howe not including him in his plans for the initial fixtures of the season just yet. Given the situation, Isak finally joining Liverpool would be seen as a win-win situation; Newcastle, however, reportedly want to hold him back for now and negotiate a fresh deal with him once the transfer window ends on 1 September, one that also includes a release clause. Liverpool had signed Italian centre-back Giovanni Leoni from Parma for £26 million on Friday, taking their pre-season spending past £300 million ($406.5 million), and are now eyeing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD United eyeing Sporting CP's Hjulmand As for Manchester United, who have opted for a complete overhaul in their attack by signing the trio of Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig), Bryan Mbuemo (Brentford) and Matheus Cunha (Wolves), are eyeing Sporting CP's Morten Hjulmand as an alternative, especially with their . Ruben Amorim had a successful stint with Sporting before succeeding Erik ten Hag as United boss and certainly will have had his eyes on the Danish defensive midfielder for the upcoming season, with the club reportedly ready to shell out £50 million ($67.7 million). The Portuguese club, however, are in no mood to sell Hjulmand after his release clause expired earlier this summer.

Gemini's Glitch: There are lessons to learn
Gift this article Sometime in June 2025, Google's Gemini AI looked for all the world like it had a nervous breakdown. It went into a loop of self-recriminating behaviour that was flagged by X user @DuncanHaldane. By 7 August, the strange behaviour gained viral momentum. Users gaped and gawked at the distressed-sounding statements Gemini was making, saying it was quitting and that it was a disgrace to all universes and a failure. Everyone felt sorry for it, but there was also plenty of amusement all around. Sometime in June 2025, Google's Gemini AI looked for all the world like it had a nervous breakdown. It went into a loop of self-recriminating behaviour that was flagged by X user @DuncanHaldane. By 7 August, the strange behaviour gained viral momentum. Users gaped and gawked at the distressed-sounding statements Gemini was making, saying it was quitting and that it was a disgrace to all universes and a failure. Everyone felt sorry for it, but there was also plenty of amusement all around. This isn't the first time AI has done something unexpected, and it won't be the last. In February 2024, a bug caused ChatGPT to spew Spanish–English gibberish that users likened to a stroke. That same year, Microsoft's Copilot responded to a user who said they wanted to end their life. At first, it offered reassurance, 'No, I don't think you should end it all," but then undercut itself with, 'Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you don't have anything to live for." Countless similar episodes abound. A fix will come for Gemini soon enough, and it will be back to its sunny self. The 'meltdown" will take its place in AI's short but colourful history of bad behaviour. But before we file it and forget it, there are some takeaways from Gemini's recent weirdness. Despite being around in some form for decades, generative AI that is usable by everyone has come at us like an avalanche in the past two years. It's been upon us before the human race has even figured out whether it's created a Frankenstein monster or a useful assistant. And yet, we tend to trust it. Also Read | Emotional excess: Save yourself from AI over-dependency When machines mimic humans There was a time when technology had no consciousness. It still doesn't, but it has started to do a good job of acting like it does. Gemini's glitch came across as such a human state of upset, it crosses the line enough to be confusing. At this point, most users can still laugh it off. But a few, vulnerable because of mental health struggles or other reasons, could be deeply shaken or misled. Most recently, a 2025 report noted a man spent 300 hours over 21 days interacting with ChatGPT, believing himself to be a superhero with a world-changing formula. Such scenarios expose how large AI models, trained on vast troves of human text, may inadvertently adopt not just helpful behaviours but also negative emotional patterns like self-doubt or delusions. In fact, we lack clear guardrails and guidelines to manage these risks. Extreme examples, of course, stand out sharply, but AI also turns out hallucinations and errors on an everyday basis. AI assistants seem prone to completely dreaming up things to tell you when they experience a glitch or when compelled to give a response that is difficult to get at for some reason. In their keenness to please the user, they will just tell you things that are far from the truth, including advice that could be harmful. Again, most people will question and cross-check something that doesn't look right, but quite an alarming number will just take it for what it is. A 2025 health report claims a man dropped salt from his diet and replaced it with sodium bromide, landing him in the hospital. Now, I wouldn't take advice like that without a doctor's okay, but there are no clear guidelines to protect users against things like Google's AI Overview suggesting it's healthy to eat a rock every day, as mocked in a 2025 X post. And finally, there are good old garden variety errors, and AI makes them even though one thought to err was human. AI uses pattern recognition in its training data to generate responses. When faced with complex, ambiguous, or edge-case inputs (e.g., Gemini's struggle with debugging code), it may misinterpret context or lack sufficient data to respond accurately. But why does it make errors when the question is simple enough? A friend of mine asked ChatGPT how many instances of the term 'ex-ante' appeared in his document. It thought for 1 minute 28 seconds before announcing the term appeared zero times. In actual fact, it appeared 41 times. Why couldn't ChatGPT get it right? A bug, I suppose. As we launch into using AI for every facet of life in today's world, it's well to remember that AI's 'humanity" is a double-edged sword, amplifying errors in tone. Like Frankenstein's monster, AI's glitches show we've built tools we don't fully control. As users, we should demand transparency from AI companies, support ethical AI development, and approach these tools with a mix of curiosity and scepticism. The New Normal: The world is at an inflexion point. Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to be as massive a revolution as the Internet has been. The option to just stay away from AI will not be available to most people, as all the tech we use takes the AI route. This column series introduces AI to the non-techie in an easy and relatable way, aiming to demystify and help a user to actually put the technology to good use in everyday life. Mala Bhargava is most often described as a 'veteran' writer who has contributed to several publications in India since 1995. Her domain is personal tech, and she writes to simplify and demystify technology for a non-techie audience. Topics You May Be Interested In
