A FORMER Chelsea star has filed for divorce – after DNA tests revealed his two children were fathered by his wife’s ex.

Midfielder Geremi, 45, said the couple’s twins were born after wife Laure had an affair.

Court documents in his native Cameroon say she “destroyed the harmony” of their marriage through her despicable behavior.

They also call her ‘repeated lies’ and add: ‘No children were born from this marriage.

She claimed that the twins born in June 2008 – four years before the couple’s wedding – were his, which motivated them to get married.

“But discovering that the children were from her previous partner destroyed the couple’s harmony.

“It gave him a huge emotional shock.”

He also said his wife had damaged him psychologically.

Cameroonian star Geremi played 109 games for Chelsea between 2003 and 2007 and scored four goals.

Geremi played for Real Madrid between 1999 and 2003.

He won La Liga and the Champions League twice.

Geremi also previously played for Newcastle.

REAL MADRID are reportedly preparing a move for Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes.

The 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder moved to St. James’ Park for £35 million in January 2022 and has become one of Europe’s most sought-after players.

The former Lyon ace has scored 13 goals and assisted a further 13 in 96 appearances for the Magpies.

And we revealed earlier this month how Guimaraes is now attracting interest from a host of teams across the continent.

He is under contract with Newcastle until 2028, after signing an extension earlier this season.

However, that deal reportedly includes a £100 million release clause, at the star’s own insistence.

Now talkSPORT claims Eddie Howe and the Toon are “bracing for Real Madrid to ramp up interest this summer”.

They claim the LaLiga giants had him under surveillance during last week’s 2-0 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester City.

Guimaraes is also said to have a “burning desire” to play regularly in the Champions League.

He did achieve that on Tyneside before the theory group stage was abandoned this season, but Newcastle will need a miraculous turn of results to qualify for it again next season.

The Magpies are also looking at the prospect of having to offload a star to help them stay on the right side of the Premier League’s spending rules.

And any figure they receive near his release clause would result in a huge return on the Samba ace.

Newcastle are currently 10th in the Premier League and of all the cup competitions, something Guimaraes admitted left him “disappointed” when quizzed about the campaign this week.

Speaking ahead of Brazil’s match against England at Wembley, he said: “This season we have struggled.

“I think we have had a lot of problems with injuries and suspensions, but this is part of the process. When I signed for the club I knew this would happen.

“Things happened too quickly. During my two years at the club we reached a final. Unfortunately we didn’t win, but we got there after 20 years, which was huge for the club.”

When asked whether Newcastle had to sell to comply with PSR rules, Guimaraes said: “I don’t know. I’m not involved in that.

“We never know what will happen, but I am happy at the club. Of course I’m disappointed with our season, but I think we still have a chance to finish at least seventh in the Europa League or Conference League.

“But I can’t say much about the club staff. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but what I can say is that I am so grateful to Newcastle.”

EDEN HAZARD believes he can still be something special – after vowing not to end up “like Peppa Pig”!

The Chelsea legend, 33, retired from playing last October after four injury-hit years at Real Madrid.

But after battling weight problems during his pre-season career, Hazard is determined to eradicate such issues in the future.

Above all, the 126-player Belgian is determined to make an impact on the Stamford Bridge pitch once again.

Hazard will line up for Unicef’s World XI on June 9 against an English team led by former Chelsea teammate Frank Lampard.

He has a lot more to smile about than just the piggy bank, having brought home more than £20million a year in profits at Real.

But pride is at stake in the charity match, as is his reputation on the ground where he enjoyed the best seven years of his career.

Hazard said The standard: “I don’t want to look like Peppa Pig!

“I play tennis, padel, run a bit, I play football with my friends and stay active.”

After announcing his departure from the Bernabeu last summer, Hazard was linked with his brother Kylian’s top Belgian team RWD Molenbeek, plus MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps and Saudi Arabian clubs.

But he has done the best he can in retiring – and has “no regrets” making such a young decision.

The former Lille hero said of his post-playing days: “I’m enjoying it a lot.

“I miss my football a bit, especially being with the boys in the dressing room, but I can do what I want now.”

Hazard won LaLiga twice and the Champions League once with Real after joining from Chelsea in 2019 for £100 million.

But he says his time at Stamford Bridge was his “best memory” in football.

He won two Premier League crowns and the FA Cup with the Blues, and was also the country’s doubles player of the year in 2015.

Tempers flared as Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr took on rivals Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro-League.

And that led to the game being stopped after Ronaldo’s teammate was hit on the head with a water bottle.

The incident took place after Ronaldo thought he had given his team a 1-0 lead.

Bottles rained down on the Al-Nassr team as they celebrated, with one hitting Otavio on the head and bursting on impact.

The player immediately fell to the ground and his teammates begged the crowd to stop launching projectiles.

There was a hostile atmosphere at King Abdullah Sports City from the start, with fans chanting Messi’s name at Ronaldo throughout.

Al-Ahli is one of four teams owned by the Saudi government’s Public Investment Fund and has stars in their side.

As rivals to Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli has included Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez and Allan Saint-Maximin in their squad.

Al-Nassr would go on to win the match 1-0 via a Ronaldo penalty, ultimately giving him the last laugh.

After scoring, Ronaldo and co gave something back to the Al-Ahli fans in a playful way.

Fully prepared for the barrage of water bottles, the players did tricks and kicks with the bottles this time.

The game broke into full-time anarchy, with several players clashing.

Sadio Mane grabbed a player by the throat, but the referee left it unpunished.

Ronaldo is the top scorer in the Saudi league, with 23 goals to his name this season.

However, the goals were not enough to shoot Al-Nassr to the top of the league as they trail Al-Hilal by nine points.

Al-Hilal are undefeated in the league and have won their last 28 matches.

PEP GUARDIOLA admits he has a huge headache over how to stop Jude Bellingham.

Manchester City and Real Madrid will face each other for the third year in a row, this time in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

But this time City have to deal with Bellingham. Asked about the Three Lions star, Guardiola said: “The impact has been huge.

“It’s a different team than last season. His influence is clear, we have to try to discover what he does and keep it under control.”

The Euro heavyweights have met in the semi-finals the past two years.

Madrid went on to win the competition in 2022, with City lifting the trophy for the first time last season.

Bellingham, however, brings a new dimension: the England ace has scored 20 goals in 31 games for Madrid since joining from Borussia Dortmund last summer.

The first leg will take place on April 9 at the Santiago Bernabeu, the same evening that Arsenal host Bayern Munich.

The return matches are on April 17. And there is no delay for the winners: they will play against each other in the semi-finals!

While Guardiola’s men are defending champions, the City boss knows they are still rookies compared to their Spanish rivals.

Real have won the Champions League in five of the past ten seasons.

Guardiola added: “It seems a bit of a tradition to play against the kings of the competition three years in a row.

“Now that they have won 14 Champions Leagues, there is no need to say how Real Madrid are performing in this competition.

“It’s a bit new for us. For Real Madrid it is not special to play the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

“Over the last few years we have been consistent – ​​often semi-finals, finals, now quarter-finals again – and we are getting into this routine in the latter stages.

“And when you play the latter stages, you are playing against the best teams in Europe, Real Madrid are right there.

“This one is special and makes you feel like you are going to Europe and playing your best football. It is so nice.”

In the other half of the draw, Jadon Sancho’s Borussia Dortmund put Atletico Madrid into the quarter-finals, while Paris Saint-Germain took on Barcelona.

FOOTY FANS called it an “absolute scandal” to play Arsenal and Manchester City’s Champions League quarter-finals at the same time.

The Gunners got past Porto on penalties after an aggregate score of 1-1, with David Raya proving to be the shoot-out hero.

This secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in fourteen years, but supporters were furious when a Chelsea legend picked them with Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, City sailed calmly into the last eight by beating Man Utd’s conquerors Copenhagen 6-2.

And for the third year in a row they will meet Real Madrid in the knockout stages.

Arsenal host Bayern at the Emirates Stadium, where no away fans are allowed, in the first leg, while City head to Spain.

Now UEFA have confirmed the date and times for their full quarter-final line-up – and it has left England armchair fans furious.

Arsenal and City’s first legs will take place on Tuesday, April 9 at 8pm, while the crucial return fixtures will take place on Wednesday, April 17.

One fan reacted to the news by posting: “Who the hell organizes these schedules man.

“I just checked and the Madrid/City and Arsenal/Bayern matches are taking place at the same time.”

Another asked: “UEFA is so stupid, how do you schedule Bayern-Arsenal and City-Real at the same time?”

A third wrote: “Ffs so I can’t even watch Arsenal vs Bayern because they decided to put it at the same time as City.”

Another raged: “UEFA seriously needs to change the timing!”

A fourth asked: “What genius decided to let Bayern play Arsenal and City Madrid at the same time???”

While a fifth blasted: “Absolute scandal that they put Arsenal V Bayern and Madrid V City on the same night.”

FOOTBALL fans have been sickened by Real Madrid’s €8.50 cheeseburger, with one exclaiming it “shouldn’t be fed to a dog.”

The disgusting looking snack was posted Footy Scran before being torn apart by disgusting gamblers.

The messy burger turned out to consist of two soggy buns, some half-melted cheese, a small patty, and a nearly invisible strip of bacon.

Served in a piece of cheap foil, it looked like the food had been zipped into a nightmare.

No doubt it tasted as bad as it looked.

And at the insane price of £8.50, it’s sure to put off fans in the future.

Gamblers certainly couldn’t believe the state of the finished product.

Many expressed their anger on social media and urged Real to improve their game.

One said: “I wouldn’t feed that to a dog.”

Another stated: “Go to jail immediately.”

One commented: “Was this submerged in a lake?”

Another screamed: “Jesus, they really started saving all the money they could for Kylian Mbappe.”

One joked: “Someone is taking the p**s here.”

Another added: “Looks more jellyfish than bacon.”

Real’s dodgy burger is certainly among the worst food sold on any footing.

In 2019, a Spurs fan ended up in a huge burger cap after ordering a hot dog with a dry sausage.

And a Stevenage fan who ordered cheese crisps got exactly what he asked for – some chopped up pudding with a slice of American cheese thrown on top!

CRISTIANO RONALDO has finally apologized for a rude gesture towards fans.

The Al Nassr hero was banned for one match and fined £6,3000 for an arm signal in response to ‘Messi’ taunts from Al Shabab supporters last month.

The 39-year-old legend has spoken out and claimed his action was ‘very normal’ in Europe – but has vowed not to do it again in Saudi Arabia.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker, who earns £170million a year, blames his behavior on the ‘passion’ of football.

The Portuguese star told a press conference: “I will always respect the cultures of all countries, as I have respected to this day, but not always what people see is reality.

“As I said and I will say it again: it is clear that I will not do it again in this country, but in Europe it is very normal.

“Sometimes the passion and excitement of the game causes us to make mistakes.”

Ronaldo’s hand gesture came at the end of a 3-2 Saudi Pro League win over Al Shabab in which he struck a penalty opener.

Home fans had chanted “Messi Messi” at him, which led to Ron making an X-rated move.

His resulting suspension meant he missed a 4–4 draw against Al Hazm four days later on 29 February.

The UAE side led 1-0 from the first leg but Ronaldo has delivered a glittering message ahead of the second leg.

He said: “We will not spare a drop of sweat for the fans of Al Nassr. Tomorrow, remontada!”

The latter word is Spanish for fighting back and is often used in sports.
