The Pazzi, led by Jacopo de’ Pazzi (Sean Bean), decided to attack the Medici during what they perceived as a vulnerable time for the family. The family patriarch Piero (Julian Sands) had died, leaving the young and relatively inexperienced Lorenzo (Daniel Sharman) in charge.

The mercurial 30-year-old was at his brilliant best once again on Wednesday, with a deadly double against Chelsea securing Champions League progress and taking him to 100 goals in the competition. That is just the latest on a long list of landmarks to have been reached by a five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Debate over which of the two La Liga stars boasts the greater legacy is set to rage again during the World Cup in Russia as they both aim to claim football’s biggest team prize for the first time. Ronaldo will hope to replicate the success Portugal enjoyed at Euro 2016 while Messi is seeking to atone for Argentina’s defeat in the final at Brazil 2014. Low got the better of the Barcelona man in that match, but he would happily have the attacker in Germany colours over Real Madrid star Ronaldo....

The Reds are currently a little light on defense following the recent injuries to Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate. However, Phillips’ inclusion has still caused a debate with Joe Gomez named on the bench. It is worth mentioning that Joe Gomez penned a new five-year contract earlier this summer. However, he is still not finding a place in the starting XI for the Reds’ first home game of the season....

Without further ado, let’s take a look at what’s been brought in for the Minecraft 1.5 Update: The Minecart Detector Rail It’s not too hard to figure out what this guy does. Similar in creation to a regular track (and as iron-intensive as ever), the detector rail uses redstone and a stone pressure plate to detect when a Minecart of any type goes over it. The signal will be sent to any square adjacent to the railroad cart, and is useful for things like switching tracks ahead, exploding traps and triggering events as you approach a certain spot....

In Speaking with Famitsu, producer on Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Ryota Niitsuma discussed the fighting game genre’s resurgence, detailed how characters were chosen for MvC, and dropped a few hints in regards to the online play. Though it seems like a slam-dunk in retrospect, at one point Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was pushed to the back burner in favor of more action oriented games. No longer seeing the value in the fighting game genre, Capcom took some convincing before they gave the green light (independent of one another) to Street Fighter 4 and Marvel vs....

Plenty of gamers tried to deny the possibility ever since we first heard rumors of multiplayer back in May 2010 and as more concrete information has become available, including official confirmation and a squad leader combat video that was surprisingly reminiscent of Gears of War 3’s Horde 2.0, fans of the franchise are still very skeptical about what the new feature could mean for the Mass Effect experience - which has, until now, been mostly a very personal journey....

This final piece of DLC, supposedly titled Reckoning, is said to feature some form of cooperative element, and will factor singleplayer decisions into the multiplayer. It could be argued that single player decisions weren’t even factored into the single player story, but let’s not open that can of worms. According to BioWare’s Chris Priestly, Mass Effect 3 fans can expect more news about the DLC some time next week. At the moment, the team is still not ready to talk about it....

For Mass Effect 3, though, BioWare is trying something completely different with their new Reputation System. Using the Reputation System, BioWare can reward the player with Renegade and Paragon points, and even some neutral Reputation points, but not necessarily “lock” them out of specific conversation and game options. There’s still Renegade and Paragon options in Mass Effect 3, but rather than a Renegade or a Paragon meter filling up, a Reputation meter fills with both colors of points, tallying up to certain checkpoints....

In case you didn’t know… Icardi has proven himself to be an asset for Inter since arriving at the club in 2013. The former Inter’s captain has scored nine goals in the Serie A this campaign and 15 in all competitions. However, the Argentine ace has not featured for Inter since he was stripped off the captain’s armband in February amid uncertainty. Due to his talent, Icardi is being linked with European giants like Real Madrid as his marriage with Inter seems to be heading to a divorce....

How much is the Special Edition of Max Payne 3 going to dent wallets? Another $40 (grand total of $100), but for that extra money, players will be receive some real life things to show off on your person and around the home or office, as well as a few in-game items to help deliver some much needed destruction upon the bad guys.

Frederic Antonetti has advised Mbappe to be more humble if he wants fans to love him. Speaking after Metz’s defeat to PSG, Antonetti said: This is the second time in two matches PSG needed a late winner to secure all three points in Ligue 1. The first instance came against Lyon at the weekend when Mauro Icardi saved PSG’s blushes. On Wednesday, it was new signing Achraf Hakimi who netted a 96th-minute winner....

In the episode, we met Marsha Derbyshire, Jacobson’s ex-wife, who told viewers about his life as a cop. However, as McMillions revealed, Jacobson had to leave the force due to health problems. As former FBI squad supervisor Chris Graham said in the HBO doc: “There’s always a question why someone leaves a law enforcement career early. Sometimes there’s a good reason but there’s always a question⁠—it’s not typical. In his case, we learned that he had a health condition or an accident that had him go out on a disability....
