  41. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="236" data-end="582">Manchester City fans were eager to welcome back one of their all-time greats, Kevin De Bruyne, as he returned to the Etihad for the first time since his move to Serie A this summer.</p>
  42. <p data-start="236" data-end="582">After Pep Guardiola chose not to renew his contract, the Belgian midfielder joined Antonio Conte’s Napoli, and the anticipation around his homecoming was immense.</p>
  43. <p data-start="584" data-end="1022">De Bruyne lined up alongside Manchester United loanee Rasmus Hojlund and former Red Devil Scott McTominay, receiving a heartfelt reception from City supporters.</p>
  44. <p data-start="584" data-end="1022">Fans filled the stands with banners reading “King Kev” and “Once a blue, always a blue,” celebrating the midfielder’s decade of achievements, which included 16 trophies, six Premier League titles, and a Champions League crown.</p>
  45. <p data-start="584" data-end="1022">The club is even planning a statue in his honor.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  56. <p data-start="1053" data-end="1431">Despite the fanfare, De Bruyne’s return to the Etihad was cut short, lasting just 26 minutes.</p>
  57. <p data-start="1053" data-end="1431">The turning point came when Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo was shown a straight red card for a foul on Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.</p>
  58. <p data-start="1053" data-end="1431">The Norwegian had been through on goal when Di Lorenzo brought him down just outside the box, prompting VAR review and the sending-off.</p>
  59. <p data-start="1433" data-end="1618">Shortly after the red card, Napoli manager Simone Inzaghi opted to replace De Bruyne with defender Mathias Olivera, leaving the Belgian visibly disappointed as he walked to the bench.</p>

  61. <p data-start="1667" data-end="2002">Supporters were quick to vent their frustration online, with many criticizing the timing of De Bruyne’s substitution.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  72. <p data-start="1667" data-end="2002">Another added, “Di Lorenzo, you ruined his return FFS,” reflecting the collective disappointment among City fans.</p>
  73. <h2 data-start="2004" data-end="2044">De Bruyne’s Strong Start in Serie A</h2>
  74. <p data-start="2046" data-end="2387">Despite the setback, De Bruyne has enjoyed a positive start to his Napoli career.</p>
  75. <p data-start="2046" data-end="2387">He has appeared in all three games so far this season, scoring twice, including a goal on his debut against Sassuolo.</p>

  502. <p data-start="180" data-end="628">Fresh from a dominant derby win over Manchester United, Pep Guardiola’s side delivered another confident performance, this time taking down Napoli in the Champions League.</p>
  503. <p data-start="180" data-end="628">The spotlight naturally fell on Erling Haaland, who notched his 50th goal in the competition with a composed header, while City legend Kevin De Bruyne experienced a frustrating return to his former stomping ground.</p>
  504. <p data-start="630" data-end="711">Daily Mail Sport dives into the main talking points from this compelling clash.</p>
  505. <h2 data-start="713" data-end="743">Hojlund Faces a Rough Night</h2>
  506. <p data-start="745" data-end="1103">Rasmus Hojlund might want to erase this match from memory.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  516. <p data-start="745" data-end="1103">The Napoli striker battled through City’s defence, struggling for service and finding himself isolated for much of the game.</p>
  517. <p data-start="745" data-end="1103">Up until De Bruyne’s early substitution, Hojlund barely touched the ball—just two times.</p>
  518. <p data-start="745" data-end="1103">By half-time, he had managed only seven touches, none inside the City penalty area.</p>
  519. <p data-start="1105" data-end="1384">Napoli’s coaching staff remain confident Hojlund can thrive in Italy, believing they’ll tailor their play to his strengths—something United failed to do.</p>
  520. <p data-start="1105" data-end="1384">Against City, however, he was left to work hard without reward, illustrating exactly what not to do with the talented Dane.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  531. <p data-start="1430" data-end="1774">One of the surprising moments was Pep Guardiola’s decision to keep an unchanged lineup.</p>
  532. <p data-start="1430" data-end="1774">While other managers often maintain consistency, Guardiola rarely does. Yet, after masterminding a 3-0 win over United, dominating Napoli, and preparing for a crucial Premier League clash against Arsenal, sticking with the same XI seems to have paid off.</p>
  533. <p data-start="1776" data-end="2096">It’s the first consecutive unchanged City lineup since January 2025, and the results speak for themselves.</p>
  534. <p data-start="1776" data-end="2096">Phil Foden is rediscovering his spark, Haaland continues his goal-scoring purple patch, and Jeremy Doku is delivering decisive moments.</p>
  535. <p data-start="1776" data-end="2096">Even Guardiola, usually a tinkerman, seems content with this current setup.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  545. <h2 data-start="2098" data-end="2150">Milinkovic-Savic Reminds United of What They Lost</h2>
  546. <p data-start="2152" data-end="2475">While much pre-match attention focused on Hojlund and Scott McTominay, another ex-United player stole the headlines: Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.</p>
  547. <p data-start="2152" data-end="2475">Despite conceding to Haaland, the former United man made six vital saves and proved to be a solid barrier for Napoli, particularly when they were down to ten men.</p>
  548. <p data-start="2477" data-end="2720">Milinkovic-Savic, who had a brief stint at United without making a senior appearance, serves as a reminder of the talent that slipped through the cracks in the red half of Manchester.</p>
  549. <p data-start="2477" data-end="2720">His performance left fans wondering what might have been.</p>
  550. <h2 data-start="2722" data-end="2752">Jeremy Doku Shows His Magic</h2>

  561. <p data-start="2754" data-end="3110">Against United, he was electric, running past defenders and creating moments of magic.</p>
  562. <p data-start="2754" data-end="3110">One stunning goal, weaving through four players, was reminiscent of Lionel Messi’s flair.</p>
  563. <p data-start="2754" data-end="3110">If Doku can consistently produce performances like this, he could become unstoppable for City this season.</p>
  564. <h2 data-start="3112" data-end="3152">Phil Foden’s Return Sparks Excitement</h2>
  565. <p data-start="3154" data-end="3453">Phil Foden’s form is a welcome sight for City and England alike.</p>

  576. <p data-start="3154" data-end="3453">Against Napoli, he created eight chances—his highest in a single match for City—and added an assist to his tally.</p>
  577. <p data-start="3455" data-end="3748">Guardiola highlighted Foden’s importance, recalling how crucial he was in securing the Premier League title two seasons ago.</p>
  578. <p data-start="3455" data-end="3748">With Foden back to his best, City can feel confident as they continue their title push, while England supporters hope he stays fit and focused ahead of the World Cup.</p>

  606. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="197" data-end="553">For once, Montecito has been unusually quiet during a week packed with royal drama.</p>
  607. <p data-start="197" data-end="553">Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, known for their outspoken nature, have opted for silence while the spotlight shone on a historic state visit featuring President Trump, First Lady Melania, King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince William with Catherine, Princess of Wales.</p>
  608. <p data-start="555" data-end="657">But why the sudden restraint? Was it decency? Consideration? A newfound sense of grace? Not exactly.</p>
  609. <h2 data-start="659" data-end="696">Not About Grace or Royal Respect</h2>
  610. <p data-start="698" data-end="957">This isn’t about letting King Charles enjoy a highlight of his short reign, nor is it about Meghan embracing her role as an American princess welcoming a U.S. president.</p>
  611. <p data-start="698" data-end="957">And it’s certainly not because the couple has been humbled by past choices or scandals.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  621. <p data-start="959" data-end="1271">Their silence doesn’t stem from political awareness either.</p>
  622. <p data-start="959" data-end="1271">While Harry’s political stance is unclear, he generally follows Meghan’s lead, and her well-documented disdain for Donald Trump is no secret.</p>

  725. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="209" data-end="497">The search for Travis Decker, accused of killing his three young daughters in Washington state, has taken a dark turn.</p>
  726. <p data-start="209" data-end="497">Police believe Decker has been found dead in remote bushland, nearly three months after the heartbreaking tragedy that shocked Leavenworth and surrounding communities.</p>
  727. <h2 data-start="499" data-end="542">Disappearance Following a Shocking Crime</h2>
  728. <p data-start="544" data-end="916">Decker, 32, went missing in early June after allegedly suffocating his daughters—Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5—just before a scheduled custody exchange with his ex-wife.</p>
  729. <p data-start="544" data-end="916">The girls’ bodies were discovered at a campground by a sheriff&#8217;s deputy on June 2, three days after he failed to return them to their mother’s home in Wenatchee, about 100 miles east of Seattle.</p>
  730. <h2 data-start="918" data-end="951">Discovery in Remote Wilderness</h2>
  731. <p data-start="953" data-end="1158">On Thursday night, the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office announced that officers had located human remains in dense, remote woods near Leavenworth, an area that had been the focus of ongoing search efforts.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  741. <p data-start="1160" data-end="1580">“While positive identification has not yet been confirmed, preliminary findings suggest the remains belong to Travis Decker,” the sheriff’s office said.</p>
  742. <p data-start="1160" data-end="1580">Sheriff Mike Morrison added that the clothing appeared consistent with what Decker was last seen wearing.</p>
  743. <p data-start="1160" data-end="1580">Authorities are continuing to process the scene with the Washington State Patrol crime scene response team, and DNA testing is planned to confirm the identity.</p>
  744. <h2 data-start="1582" data-end="1615">A Skilled and Elusive Fugitive</h2>
  745. <p data-start="1617" data-end="1871">Decker, a former Army soldier and member of the Washington National Guard, had extensive wilderness survival training, which complicated the months-long manhunt.</p>
  746. <p data-start="1617" data-end="1871">By the time of the alleged killings, he was reportedly homeless and living out of his car.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  756. <p data-start="1873" data-end="2234">Search teams were extensive and highly coordinated, involving multiple sheriff’s offices, the US Marshals Service, two police departments, and even Central Washington University’s anthropology department.</p>
  757. <p data-start="1873" data-end="2234">They used electronic mapping and expanded their search perimeter to cover as much terrain as possible, demonstrating the seriousness of the investigation.</p>
  758. <h2 data-start="2236" data-end="2273">Family Reflections Amid the Horror</h2>
  759. <p data-start="2275" data-end="2568">Decker’s ex-wife, Whitney, told police she never believed he was dangerous and described him as loving toward his daughters.</p>
  760. <p data-start="2275" data-end="2568">She emphasized that he shared a good relationship with the girls, highlighting the chilling contrast between the tragic outcome and her memories of their family life.</p>
  761. <p data-start="2570" data-end="2824">Authorities vowed throughout the investigation to stop at nothing to bring justice for Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia, and the suspected discovery of Decker’s remains may finally bring some closure to a case that has haunted the local community for months.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  785. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="200" data-end="530">Orlando Pirates fans have every reason to be excited as a new talent emerges from their ranks. Mbekezeli Mbokazi, the gifted central defender, is already making waves and showing signs of becoming a true club legend.</p>
  786. <p data-start="200" data-end="530">As of 19 September 2025, he steps out of his teenage years and into a bright future for South African football.</p>
  787. <h2 data-start="532" data-end="556">A Debut to Remember</h2>
  788. <p data-start="558" data-end="953">Mbokazi’s first taste of top-flight action came on 5 March 2025, a day that might be remembered as a turning point for the Pirates.</p>
  789. <p data-start="558" data-end="953">At just 19, he made his debut in a 1-0 victory, keeping a clean sheet and immediately proving his worth.</p>
  790. <p data-start="558" data-end="953">From that point on, he became a fixture in the first team, earning praise from DStv Diski Challenge head coach Joseph Makhanya for his composure and talent.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  800. <p data-start="955" data-end="1324">He continued to impress in matches against SuperSport in the Nedbank Cup, where he scored the opener in a 2-2 draw, and against Stellenbosch, contributing to a 0-0 stalemate.</p>
  801. <p data-start="955" data-end="1324">His standout performance in the thrilling cup tie against Matsatsantsa and his role in Pirates’ 2-1 win over league leaders Sundowns further cemented his reputation as a rising defensive star.</p>
  802. <h2 data-start="1326" data-end="1355">Leadership and Accolades</h2>
  803. <p data-start="1357" data-end="1762">Fast-forward to the 2025-2026 season, and Mbokazi, who turns 20 today, has already captained the team in Nkosinathi Sibisi’s absence.</p>
  804. <p data-start="1357" data-end="1762">His consistency and impact have not gone unnoticed.</p>
  805. <p data-start="1357" data-end="1762">Orlando Pirates confirmed that his stellar form earned him the Player of the Month award for August, a fitting recognition for a player who has already appeared in 28 matches and contributed crucial goals and assists.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  816. <p data-start="1810" data-end="2162">Fans can’t help but recall Mbulelo “Oldjohn” Mabizela when watching Mbokazi shine.</p>
  817. <p data-start="1810" data-end="2162">Mabizela was a supremely talented central defender whose potential never fully translated into trophies.</p>
  818. <p data-start="1810" data-end="2162">Despite earning 45 caps for Bafana Bafana and winning the Norwegian title with Valerenga in 2005, his career remains memorable for his undeniable skill and flair.</p>
  819. <p data-start="2164" data-end="2539">Much like Mbokazi today, Mabizela’s talent was obvious from the start, catching the eye of European clubs.</p>
  820. <p data-start="2164" data-end="2539">Tottenham recognized his potential and signed him for R44 million (in today’s terms) in July 2003.<!-- TDPel1 -->

  829. </script></p>
  830. <p data-start="2164" data-end="2539">While controversy occasionally shadowed Mabizela, fans remember his footballing ability above all else—a feeling that Mbokazi is beginning to evoke in the present day.</p>
  831. <h2 data-start="2541" data-end="2567">A Bright Future Ahead</h2>
  832. <p data-start="2569" data-end="2905">With his talent, leadership, and early achievements, Mbekezeli Mbokazi is on a trajectory that could see him etch his name among Orlando Pirates’ all-time greats.</p>
  833. <p data-start="2569" data-end="2905">As he enters adulthood, supporters will be watching eagerly, hoping that the young defender continues to rise and deliver the brilliance glimpsed in his first few seasons.</p>
