Watching A Champions League Game With Out Of Sync Audio Is My New Personal Hell, Benfica Defeats Ajax

Benfica pulled off a smash-and-grab victory in Amsterdam on Tuesday defeating a much better-looking Ajax side 1-0 to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals winning 3-2 on aggregate.

I Still Can’t Tell If Bernardo Silva Is Absolutely Blitzed Or Genuinely Terrified In Funny Video With Fan

My sixth journalism sense is already tingling. I know someone in the comments will have the audacity to say, “wow, slow news day?” Yeah Brad from Arkansas, it was a slower day for me — it’s because I couldn’t stop thinking of a Bernardo Silva fan video from the other night.
