European champions Real Madrid suffered a first defeat this season as RB Leipzig rekindled their hopes of booking their place in the Champions League last 16.

Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol scored the opener as he headed the hosts ahead before France forward Christopher Nkunku doubled the advantage.

Vinicius Jr. gave the visitors a lifeline as he reduced the deficit but ex-Chelsea forward Timo Werner made sure of a memorable win for RB Leipzig with the 3rd goal for the Bundesliga outfits.

Real, who had already qualified for the knockout stage prior, scored a late second with a penalty from Rodrygo to end the 5-goal thriller.

With Celtic holding Shakhtar Donetsk in Glasgow in the other game in Group F, second-placed RB Leipzig have nine points, three more than Shakhtar who are in third spot.

Shakhtar host RB Leipzig in Poland on 2 November.

Iain Duncan Smith, a former leader of the Conservative Party who backed Truss during her leadership contest against Sunak in the summer, has said he is now backing the ex-chancellor.

“It is time for us to end the leadership contest and get a PM in place ASAP. I have reached the decision that senior experience at the heart of government matters most. To that end I shall support Rishi Sunak,” he tweeted.

Rishi Sunak has been elected as the next Conservative Party Leader in the United Kingdom.

According to Sir Graham Brady's declaration, the 1922 Committee received just one nomination for the future head of the party, which was supported by 100 MPs.

Sir Brady therefore designated Sunak to be the future party leader and, as a result, the new Prime Minister.

He announced that Rishi Sunak, the incoming Tory leader, will address MPs at 14:30 BST.

Tinubu believes that rather than competing with him, Atiku should back his presidential ambition, as he did in 2007.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, believes Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, should back him rather than run for president.

Tinubu stated this on Monday, October 17, 2022, at an interactive session with the Arewa Joint Committee at Arewa House in Kaduna state.

Responding to Atiku's recent ethnocentric remark, the governing party's presidential candidate said he sees himself as a pan-Nigerian.
