Barca linked with 17-year-old Flamengo winger Ryan Roberto

Barcelona are being credited with interest in 17-year-old Flamengo winger Ryan Roberto. The teenager has shone with the Brazilian team's Under-17 side, scoring 20 goals and 14 assists in 33 matches so far in 2025. According to Globo, his form has seen him attract attention from both Barcelona and Dutch giants Ajax. Roberto is also expected to be called up to Brazil's Under-17 team for the World Cup where he will have another chance to shine. There's also a suggestion Roberto could be handed a call-up to Flamengo's first team squad soon. The Brazilian team are currently managed by former Atletico and Chelsea star Filipe Luis who has been happy to give youngsters a chance this year. Roberto is known for his pace and skill as well as his ability to score goals. He plays out wide on the wing but loves to cut inside and attack.

Barcelona make contact over deal for Ryan Roberto

La Liga giants Barcelona have made initial contact with Brazilian outfit Flamengo, over a potential deal for a member of the latter's attacking ranks. That's according to , citing Globo, who highlight Ryan Roberto as the player in question. Roberto, for his part, is a 17-year-old winger, who spent this past season making a name for himself as a potential star in the making. Across 33 appearances for Flamengo's U17 side, the Brazil youth international racked up 20 goals, and 14 assists. Such exploits are expected to culminate in a first-team call for Roberto before long. With such excellence at such a young age, though, comes inevitable interest from across the water. As confirmed by MD, both Ajax and the aforementioned Barcelona have already gone as far as to touch base with Flamengo, regarding a potential deal for Roberto: 'According to Globo, FC Barcelona and Ajax have already inquired about a player whose position fits what the Barça sporting management is looking for in the market.'

She Cringed at Couples Calling Each Other ‘Mom' and ‘Dad' Until Her Toddler Made Her Understand Why

Before having kids, Analiese Maldonado always found it a little strange when couples addressed each other as 'Mom' and 'Dad.' 'I couldn't imagine talking to my husband and saying, 'Daddy, what should we do for dinner tonight?'' Maldonado, 31, tells with a mock shudder. Then her 14-month-old son, Anthony, began wandering through their South Carolina house, calling for 'Babe,' otherwise known as his father, Roberto — and suddenly Maldonado got it. Once your toddler starts repeating everything you say, Maldonado realized it's only natural to start referring to your partner by the name your child knows. 'Babe! Babe! Babe!' Anthony says in a now-viral TikTok video, as he looks around for his dad. It seems toddlers calling their parents by affectionate nicknames is a charming and common milestone. "My daughter called me babe before she called me mom lol." "Our daughter called her dad Honey for 3 yrs." "my cousin is in his 40s and still calls his mom darling because that how his dad called her." "My son calls my husband 'baby' full time." "My sister's son calls his dad 'sugar.'" "My kids call my husband babe even in the most serious situations and it's really funny." As a physical therapist who often works with elderly clients, Maldonado often asks routine questions only to hear a patient call out, 'Hey, Mom, what's the name of my primary care physician? Perhaps they, too, learned early on the power of pet names around little ones. "It makes sense to me now!" she says, with a laugh. This article was originally published on Solve the daily Crossword

Newcomers to London learn to swim at YMCA

YMCA Centre Branch held their first of many swimming lessons for newcomers to Canada on June 17, 2025. (Fiona Robertson/CTV News London) The YMCA Centre Branch held its first of many swimming lessons for newcomers to Canada. They were able to create this program thanks to a $1000 dollar grant from Participaction. Over 400 students will benefit from these classes. 'All of the registration is actually already full. We filled every spot, wonderfully, for the program. We're hoping again to apply for more grants and more funding to train more newcomers in London and Middlesex area,' said YMCA Centre Branch Supervisor Alax Brown. 'We're working on water smart messaging right now, lifejackets, to keep safe around the water, how to right themselves in the water as well.' Organizers say newcomers to the country are more at risk of drownings since many haven't had the chance to learn to swim. Just last year, there were two drownings in the region, one in Port Stanley, the other in the Thames River. Both victims were new citizens. Organizers hope these lessons will help prevent future tragedies. 'I need to learn swimming better, it's important,' said newcomer and swim lesson participant Roberto. 'It's very important because I can help all the other people in bad situations in the water.' While registration for this program is full, Brown has some advice for anyone looking to swim in any nearby bodies of water. 'So, life jackets, swim with a buddy, please swim in lifeguarded areas,' said Brown. 'Less than 1 per cent of our drownings occur in lifeguarded areas.'
