Posted on by steffenk13

Atalanta captain Papu Gomez faces an uncertain future under boss Gian Piero Gasperini after refusing his instructions on Tuesday night.

reported that shortly before half-time, and 1-0 down in the Champions League Group D fixture, Gasperini asked the 32-year-old to stay on the right of a 3-4-3 formation rather than cutting inside to a more central position.

Gomez replied: ‘No.’ It was a response, the paper states, that couldn’t be missed given the game was played behind closed doors at the Gewiss Stadium.

After he was replaced by Josip Ilicic, Gomez didn’t come back out with his team-mates who were on the bench.

Dr Khong said his main trick when it comes to skincare is ‘consistency’.

Although he has his ‘lazy’ days, he always manages to double cleanse and apply some retinol – even after long shifts at work.

In the mornings he cleanses with Tatcha’s The Deep Cleanse, Dr Sam’s Flawless Cleanser, or IDS Delicate Cleanser, and then uses Biologique Recherche P50, an AUD$126 exfoliator, all over.

He said he is a ‘big fan’ of P50 and covers his scalp, face and body with it twice a day.

He also uses Biologique’s Masque Vivant which is a skin treatment to help elasticity, and VIP O2, which is an ‘antipollution’ treatment.

On top of this he applies Visolastine, a hydrating mask, and Biomagic, which is an energising face mask.

Dr Khong said he has noticed the mask from Biologique has helped to create his flawless complexion and makes his skin glow.

He aims to apply a face mask every second day depending on how his skin feels and he recently bought Cryo Sticks to give himself an at home cryo facial.

Royal Bank of Scotland’s latest legal battle will begin today, in a trial which will see its former restructuring boss questioned in court for the first time.

Questions to answer: The alleged misconduct occurred in the wake of the financial crisis, when the Government owned more than 80 per cent of RBS

The alleged misconduct occurred in the wake of the financial crisis, when the Government owned more than 80 per cent of RBS following a £45.5 billion taxpayer bailout.

The case at the Royal Courts of Justice is brought by property developer Oliver Morley, 49, a former RBS customer who claims GRG ‘stole’ his £125m property empire. 

His legal team will claim senior staff at the bank’s notorious restructuring unit were awarded bonuses based on targets set by an arm of the Treasury.

He told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The case is costing me millions but it is worth every penny.It was a complete robbery. I cannot rest until I have some form of justice.’

RBS said that it will defend the claim ‘vigorously’.
