What happens? Shit happens, he knows. “I’ve lost a European Cup final 3-0 down at half-time,” Ancelotti says. He has also won a European Cup final 1-0 down in the 93rd minute. He won last year’s Champions League, from 2-0 down and 4-3 down and 5-3 down along the way, the most absurd thing ever. And last week’s Champions League meeting at Anfield, 2-0 down in 14 minutes. This is the club too thateven when it wasn’t real. But still no one expected this, which was probably their first mistake.
Or perhaps it can. Barcelona had won seven in a row. They had won 12 of their last 13. They had only been defeated once – way back in October, against Madrid. They had only dropped points twice since the opening day. They had let in one goal in seven games and seven all season.they had to do was win against Almería, who had let in six the week before, whose coach was under pressure, and who had started the day in the relegation zone, to go 10 points clear.

Current cyber security laws have ‘really narrow’ definitionsCyber Security Minister Clare O’Neil says the problem with current laws in place for cyber security is their “really narrow definition” of what a cyber attack is. “They give the government special powers to manage cyber incidents only during the technical event of the cyber attack,” Ms O’Neil told Sky News Australia. “The technical event in a cyber attack is often over really quickly. “What really matters is the consequence management that occurs afterwards.”
