EXCLUSIVE: Chiellini talks UCL, Ronaldo, Bonucci & moreJuventus defender Giorgio Chiellini sits down with ESPN FC to discuss Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival, Leonardo Bonucci's potential return and more.
Cristiano Ronaldo could take the first kick of the new Serie A season after the schedule announced Juventus vs. Chievo would open the new season.


Ronaldo has been in training with Juve this week after completing a €100 million move to Turin from Real Madrid this summer, and he could be the man to get the ball rolling on the new season.

Juventus' trip to Chievo will raise the curtain on the 2018-19 Serie A season on Saturday, Aug. 18 at 6 p.m. local time, with Lazio hosting Napoli at 8.30 p.m. All the first weekend's remaining fixtures will be played on Sunday.

The Bianconeri are first up on the following weekend too, when they host Lazio on Saturday, Aug. 25 at 6 p.m. -- potentially Ronaldo's first outing as a Juve player at the Allianz Stadium. A week later, Juve travel to Parma also on a Saturday, in their first fixture to be shown exclusively in streaming.

DAZN have acquired part of the domestic television rights to Italian football for the next three-year cycle, with Sky Sport Italia losing its exclusivity over all league games.

The two rights holders have agreed terms on a partnership, although Sky subscribers will still only be able to watch games broadcast by DAZN online and not via their satellite dish. Seven games per weekend will be available via satellite and three via streaming.

Lazio's clash with Napoli will be the first Serie A game to be visible exclusively via streaming on Saturday, Aug. 18.

Meanwhile, several of the season's big matches have also been scheduled, including the Milan derby, which will be played on Sunday, Oct. 21 at 8.30 p.m., Ronaldo's first Turin derby on Saturday, Dec. 15 at 8.30 p.m. and Inter vs. Napoli, which has been moved to a 8.30 p.m. kick-off on Boxing Day.

Court halts Rihanna shooting case for mental health review

Court halts Rihanna shooting case for mental health review ALos Angeles judge has suspended the attempted murder case against Ivanna Ortiz, the woman accused of firing 20 shots at Rihanna’s home, after finding evidence to question her mental competency, according to correspondence. Judge Shannon Cooley halted proceedings on May 20 after meeting privately with Ortiz’s public defender. A court source confirmed to Rolling Stone on May 21 that the judge found sufficient grounds to refer Ortiz to the county’s mental health court. Ortiz, who was not present in court for the ruling, will now undergo an evaluation to determine if she can understand the case against her. The decision comes a week after Judge Cooley denied a similar request, stating there was insufficient evidence at the time to override Ortiz’s demand to stand trial. Ortiz has pleaded not guilty to one count of attempted murder, 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an inhabit...

Burj Khalifa is losing its crown as the world’s tallest building Here’s why Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa may soon be knocked off its title as the world’s tallest building. At 828 metres tall, the city’s most famous landmark could soon be overtaken by two upcoming projects in Saudi Arabia. Rise Tower, a proposed mega-project in Riyadh, is planned to be two kilometres in height but is currently still in the planning stage.

It is set to be a major off-season of change at the Etihad Stadium, with Pep Guardiola set to leave his position as head coach after ten years at the helm. Former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is due to replace him in the hotseat.
