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.

From Rs 5,000 To Rs 40,000 Crore: Why Rakesh Jhunjhunwala Is Called The 'Big Bull' Of Dalal Street
Last Updated: In the early 2000s, he purchased Titan Company shares at Rs 30-Rs 40 apiece and the investment eventually delivered returns of over Rs 15,000 crore Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, fondly called the 'Big Bull' of Dalal Street, transformed a modest investment of just Rs 5,000 into a fortune exceeding Rs 40,000 crore, leaving behind one of the most inspiring legacies in the stock market history. Born on July 5, 1960, in Mumbai to a middle-class Marwari family, Jhunjhunwala grew up watching his father, an Income Tax Department officer, discuss the stock market with friends. Those conversations ignited his curiosity about equities. On his father's advice, he began reading newspapers daily to sharpen his understanding of business and market trends. Although he qualified as a chartered accountant after studying at Sydenham College, Jhunjhunwala shunned the security of a stable job. Instead, he plunged into the volatile world of stocks. His first investment, funded by borrowing Rs 5,000 from his brother, marked the beginning of a remarkable journey. In 1986, he took a bold gamble, raising additional capital from market experts at steep interest rates. His maiden big win came with Tata Tea, bought at Rs 43 a share, it surged to Rs 143 within three months, netting him about Rs 5 lakh. He followed this with smart bets on Tata Power and Sesa Goa. But his most iconic move came in the early 2000s, when Titan Company was struggling. Trusting the brand's long-term potential, he purchased shares at Rs 30-Rs 40 apiece, an investment that eventually delivered returns of over Rs 15,000 crore. 'Always go against the crowd. Buy when everyone is selling and sell when everyone is buying," Jhunjhunwala's simple yet powerful mantra became synonymous with his investing style. Through his firm RARE Enterprises, named after himself and his wife Rekha, he invested in several market leaders, including Star Health, Metro Brands, Tata Motors and CRISIL. From the 1992 securities scam to the 2008 global financial crisis, Jhunjhunwala demonstrated an uncanny ability to identify resilient companies during turbulent times. In 2021, he ventured into aviation with Akasa Air, which became the world's fastest-growing airline within a year. By the time of his passing in 2022, the Sensex had crossed the 59,000 mark, up by 150 points. In 2023, he was posthumously awarded the Padma Shri.
