Too slick, too quick and, ultimately, just too good at football; Spain reaffirmed their standing as the best team in the world as they outclassed Germany and retained the Women’s Nations League title in spite of the absence of their injured superstar Aitana Bonmatí, The Guardian reported. 

The world champions were playing their first game since their Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder was ruled out for five months after undergoing surgery on a broken leg, but anybody who worried that her absence may disrupt Spain’s stylish football was immediately proved wrong, as they demonstrated the extensive depth of talent across their classy team and eventually played some ruthless football to dispatch their rivals at the Estadio Metropolitano.

All of the goals came in a 13-minute second-half burst of the second leg, but Spain could have been comfortably in control before half-time on home soil, in what was a fearless attacking performance that thrilled the Madrid crowd of 55,843 – a record for a Spanish women’s national team home fixture – with well-taken goals once Germany’s resistance was finally broken, according to The Guardian. 

Barcelona produced an impressive comeback to beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 and move four points clear at the top of La Liga, Reuters reported. 

Alex Baena fired Atletico ahead on Tuesday, but Raphinha equalised for the champions before Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres slotted home to end the visitors’ run of 13 straight league games without defeat.

Barca might have been more comfortable had Robert Lewandowski not ballooned a first-half penalty over the bar, according to Reuters. 

Manchester City's Erling Haaland became the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals to ignite their charge on Tuesday and then Pep Guardiola's men held off a furious comeback effort from Fulham in a wild 5-4 win, Reuters reported. 

Phil Foden bagged a double, Tijjani Reijnders also struck and Sander Berge scored an own goal to keep City firmly in the title hunt in second place with 28 points. Leaders Arsenal, who have 30 points, host Brentford on Wednesday.

Fulham are 15th on 17 points.

City looked to be heading for a rout at Craven Cottage with a gaping 5-1 lead but Fulham roared back with three second-half goals - a brace from Samuel Chukwueze and one from Alex Iwobi - for a thrilling finish, according to Reuters . 

Foreign Secretary Amrit Bahadur Rai has argued deep-rooted structural impediments, limited access to international markets, widening digital divides, resources constraints and increasing climate related impacts were some of the challenges facing the least developed countries (LDCs).

Foreign Secretary Rai made such an observation in his remarks at the High-level Meeting on 'Forging Ambitious Global Partnerships for Sustainable and Resilient Graduation of LDCs' in Doha, Qatar on Tuesday. 

He was speaking as the Chair of the Global Coordination Bureau of the group of LDCs. 

Rai called for robust global solidarity and ambitious partnership for smooth, sustained, and irreversible graduation of the LDCs, according to the Foreign Ministry.

Moreover, he also addressed at the session entitled 'High-level Ministerial Dialogue on strategic pathways for navigating sustainable graduation amid challenging global development landscape and unlocking new opportunities'. 

On the occasion, Secretary Rai shed light the key areas – agriculture, hydropower, tourism, manufacturing, ICT and human capital – that hold immense potential for Nepal’s economic transformation despite the challenging global development landscape and expressed Nepal’s keen interest to working closely with development partners, the UN systems, and the international community for sustained graduation.

He also had an inspection visit to the Embassy of Nepal in Doha in the afternoon. 

The Embassy officials were instructed to protect and promote Nepal’s national interest as well as make every possible effort to deliver best services to Nepali migrant workers living in Qatar.

The Foreign Secretary is in his three-day visit to Doha to take part in the High-level Meeting jointly organized by Qatar government and the UN- Office of the High Representative for the LDCs, and the Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island States (UN-OHRLLS).
