Unbeaten Barcelona Set Another La Liga Record With Celta Draw

Unbeaten Barcelona Set Another La Liga Record With Celta DrawErnesto Valverde's men have still not tasted defeat in the 2017-18 league season after 33 matches.

Barcelona have set a new La Liga record for the longest unbeaten start in league history. 

The Blaugrana drew 2-2 at Celta Vigo on Tuesday, as Ousmane Dembele and Paco Alcacer netted for the visitors. 

The draw took Barcelona's unbeaten run to begin the 2017-18 season to 33 games, with Ernesto Valverde's men winning 25 and drawing eight matches.

At 33 games unbeaten, Barcelona surpassed previous record-holders Real Sociedad, who began the 1979-80 season with a run of 32 games without defeat. 

Valverde's men have just five league games remaining as they look to become the first Liga side to ever go through an entire season undefeated. 

The biggest of those five tests will be the season's second Clasico, with Real Madrid set to visit the Camp Nou on May 6. 

Regardless of the Clasico outcome Barca are almost certain to lift the Liga title.

The Catalans boast a 12-point advantage over second-place Atletico Madrid following Tuesday's result.

Kola Abiola Speaks On His Marriage To Babangida’s Daughter (Read full gist)

Kola Abiola, the eldest son of Late Chief MKO Abiola, has finally spoken on his alleged marriage to Aisha Babangida, the eldest daughter of Nigeria’s former Military President Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB). IBB and MKO Abiola were friends until the latter contested and won the June 12, 1993, presidential election, but the former would later cancel the election. Their relationship went sour, but before the annulment, Kola and Aisha were allegedly dating. At a time, it was speculated that they secretly got married.
