Cristiano Ronaldo 'models new Hull City kit', Bayern's Alphonso Davies asks Justin Trudeau for trip home - best of the week

The 2019/2020 season is finally done and dusted with Bayern Munich having been crowned the Champions League winners.

It all ended in tears for Neymar and Paris Saint-Germain, while Bayern's stars did their best to create scenes of jubilation in an empty Lisbon stadium. For one player, the congratulations came in from high places.

Alphonso Davies's rapid rise to the top

The Bayern Munich full back has quickly become one of the world's top players on the back of his impressive form this season - and in particular the ease with which he destroyed Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final.

Among the Canadian's admirers is his country's prime minister, Justin Trudeau, who was swift in jumping on the congratulatory bandwagon.

As for dodging the coronavirus restrictions for a trip home, that sounds unlikely.

Cristiano Ronaldo looks swish in a Hull City shirt

There's been a rush of new kits hitting shops ahead of the new season - some of them stylish, others looking remarkably like last season's offering.

For Juventus, inspiration has clearly come from English third tier club Hull City. If followers of English football were none the wiser and saw the shirt out of the corner of their eye, they'd definitely say that's Hull.

Otherwise, Ronaldo has taken a big drop down the league ladder and moved on the quiet.

Neymar brought a huge speaker, Bayern brought drums

It was good to see that both of the Champions League finalists were prepared for victory.

PSG had Neymar's huge Bose speaker at the ready after he came strutting into the stadium carrying it.

Bayern preferred more traditional entertainment as they made their own music after winning the trophy.

Training the Liverpool way

Preparations are under way for the new Premier League season, and champions Liverpool have been hard at work in Austria.

Quite what you'd call this warm up drill is anyone's guess. It does look fun though.

How Manchester City have grown

It isn't just on the pitch that Manchester City have been transformed during the past decade and beyond, as this image of the club's megastore in 1993 shows. They were of course based at Maine Road then.

How classic are those Umbro jumpers and training tops - a must buy for any football-mad youngster in the early 90s.

'Dirty' Leeds are back

A club of rich history, Leeds United have been somewhat in the doldrums for a number of years.

But that doesn't mean they have lost their reputation for playing, ahem, rough football, which has stuck since the days of muddy pitches and the likes of Billy Bremner and Johnny Giles in the 1960s and 70s.

Why your domicile status is important

Your UK residence status is assessed using the statutory residence test. While your residence status – ie where you live - is assessed every year, your domicile status is assessed over your lifetime.

Your domicile of origin generally comes from your parents and if your parents were not married, then it is decided by your father. Your domicile is generally the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born.

UK residents who have their permanent home ("domicile") outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income. For example, they do not pay tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 in the tax year and do not transfer that gain to a UK bank account.

A UK-domiciled person, however, is liable for UK tax on their worldwide income and gains when they are resident in the UK.

What are NFTs?

Are non-fungible tokens a currency, asset, or a licensing instrument? Arnab Das, global market strategist EMEA at Invesco, says they are mix of all of three.

You can buy, hold and use NFTs just like US dollars and Bitcoins. “They can appreciate in value and even produce cash flows.”

However, while money is fungible, NFTs are not. “One Bitcoin, dollar, euro or dirham is largely indistinguishable from the next. Nothing ties a dollar bill to a particular owner, for example. Nor does it tie you to to any goods, services or assets you bought with that currency. In contrast, NFTs confer specific ownership,” Mr Das says.

This makes NFTs closer to a piece of intellectual property such as a work of art or licence, as you can claim royalties or profit by exchanging it at a higher value later, Mr Das says. “They could provide a sustainable income stream.”

This income will depend on future demand and use, which makes NFTs difficult to value. “However, there is a credible use case for many forms of intellectual property, notably art, songs, videos,” Mr Das says.
