Kylian Mbappe has heaped praise on Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool, with the Paris Saint-Germain star labelling the Reds "a machine".

Liverpool currently sit atop the Premier League, maintaining a 25-point lead over last season's champions Manchester City.

The Reds, who took down Tottenham to win the Champions League last June, finished one point behind Man City last season, going unbeaten in the league from January 2019 until a February loss to Watford this season.

Mbappe, meanwhile, has been linked with a big-money move to Liverpool in recent months, although any move for the PSG star would undoubtedly be made more complicated by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

When asked about the rumours, Klopp said that he is "completely happy with the boys that I have", although the Liverpool boss did leave the door open for some big spending going forward.

And, when asked his opinion on Liverpool, Mbappe was full of praise for the Reds' achievements in recent seasons.

“This season, Liverpool have been a machine in the Premier League," Mbappe told the Mirror.

“They have made winning look easy but the truth is that it is never easy.

“Performances like they have been having don’t just happen.

“To be as ruthless as they have been would come from lots of hard work in training and from having a very good manager.”

Liverpool have also been linked with the likes of Timo Werner in recent months, with reports indicating that the club is looking to sign a forward this summer.

Former Reds winger John Barnes agrees with the idea of signing a striker, saying that Liverpool "need to sign another forward".

However, Barnes says that Mbappe may not be the best fit as Klopp will look for a forward more willing to contribute defensively like Roberto Firmino.

Mbappe was in fine form for PSG this season, with the Ligue 1 campaign now complete due to the coronavirus.

The 21-year-old fired 30 goals in 33 matches across all competitions this season, following up on last season's effort that saw him score 39 times in 43 games.

Black Adam Can Be The DCEU’s Wolverine

The upcoming Black Adam movie could position its title character as DC's equivalent to Wolverine. Though Black Adam has taken quite a long time to get rolling, the first day of DC FanDome gave a peak at what audiences can expect, from name-dropping several Justice Society of America members who make appearances to Dwayne Johnson stressing the harsh origins of the title character. Johnson's description of Black Adam himself also may offer a sense of just what role he'll occupy in the world of the DCEU. Johnson would place particular emphasis on Black Adam having been a slave who achieves his freedom after being granted power from the gods and who now seeks to unleash his own brand of justice on the world. Aside from the moral ambiguity of Black Adam, Johnson has also repeatedly spoken of him as a game-changing figure in the DCEU with the power level that he operates at. Meanwhile, with the way Black Adam is being presented as a character, he could carry some notable parallel...

The Earth is making the moon rust

(CNN)The moon is getting rusty. Scientists had the same reaction you probably did when they reached this conclusion. It shouldn't be possible -- after all, there's no oxygen on the moon, one of the two essential elements to create rust, the other being water. But the evidence was there. India's lunar probe, Chandrayaan-1, orbited the moon in 2008, gathering data that has led to numerous discoveries over the years -- including the revelation that there are water molecules on its surface. The probe also carried an instrument built by NASA that could analyze the moon's mineral composition. When researchers at NASA and the Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology analyzed the data recently, they were stunned to find hints of hematite, a form of iron oxide known as rust. There are plenty of iron-rich rocks on the moon -- but rust is only produced when iron is exposed to oxygenand water. At first, I totally didn't believe it. It shouldn't exist based on the...
