La Liga: Happy With Barcelona Win, But Can't Be Satisfied, Says Boss

























Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde praised Paco Alcacer for his 
efforts against Sevilla but said there is still a lot of work for the team to do. The recalled Alcacer, who endured a disappointing first season at the Camp Nou, was making just his second league start of the campaign, yet he had an impact by putting the hosts ahead midway through the first half.

 And after Guido Pizarro had levelled for Sevilla after the break with a header from a corner, it was another first-time finish from Alcacer that restored Barca's lead, and their four-point advantage at the top of the table.


















Valverde admitted the side had suffered at times at the hands of 
Sevilla, although Alcacer's second goal ensured Barca picked up three valuable points with a 2-1 win. "They are important goals for him but also for the team as it allows us to stay very well positioned," Valverde. "We are happy with the win, but there is still a lot of work to do."
Valverde added: "In the first half we played really well, I think we had chances to have gone in more goals up at half time. In the second half they pushed us, and we had to suffer a bit."

FBI chief on Russian hacking: We 'should have seen this coming'

FBI chief on Russian hacking: We 'should have seen this coming'. The US government should have anticipated Russia's efforts to meddle in the 2016 elections -- but the FBI is nevertheless working to make sure Russia "pays" for its actions, bureau officials said Wednesday. FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said Moscow's efforts were surprising "in some ways," but that the intelligence community had enough information to have foreseen extensive efforts by Russian-government linked hackers and operatives to influence the 2016 election. "The fact is, the Russians have been targeting us with everything they have over the last 50 years," McCabe said. "We sort of should have seen this coming." McCabe was speaking at the Cambridge Cyber Summit, held by CNBC and the Aspen Institute, on a wide-ranging panel about the cybersecurity threat. The admission follows repeated statements from the intelligence community reaffirming the ...
