Video - Rejuvenated Smalling prompts transfer frenzy – Euro Papers01:27 The result also brought back memories of previous embarrassing exits for PSG, who have splashed out more than a billion euros on transfers since Qatar Sports Investment took over in 2011. Last season they were eliminated by Manchester United when they lost the return leg 3-1 after winning 2-0 at Old Trafford, and in 2017 a humiliating 6-1 loss at the Nou Camp followed a resounding 4-0 home win against Barcelona.
This was an impossible reality, the moment many thought would never come. The thousands who travelled to France lived a dreamlike existence, and it lasted longer than they could have imagined. There was the beautiful dismantling of Russia, Wales' attacking play a symphony set to the backdrop of a riot of red shirts in the stands, rippling under the purple and pink of the Toulouse night sky. And then there was Lille, the pouring rain and disbelieving eyes as Wales scaled stratospheric new heights with their quarter-final win over Belgium.
Barcelona president says La Liga should play three games abroad a year'Home games should be played at home stadiums'Last season, Barcelona pulled out of a proposed match with Girona in Miami due to a "lack of consensus" between stakeholders. La Liga's intention was for Atletico Madrid to face Villarreal in the USA this season but those plans were abandoned after a court in Madrid ruled the Spanish FA could not be forced to give consent to the game, as required by Fifa.

Abha played 6 games at home so far this season from which 5 games in the first league level in this country and have a record of 4-2-0 at home so far so they are yet to taste defeat at home and have scored in all those home games, just that the guests have been a top team in Saudi Arabia last season and if I am not mistaken they won the cup in this country last season and want to keep their trophy and progress forward.
He looks set to steer Leicester into the Champions League next decade having been an integral part of their Premier League title-winning season. You get to a point where you’re questioning your own XI and asking why on earth you’ve left the likes of Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale and Sergio Aguero out, but along with Kante for Chelsea, one-season wonder Harry Kane deserved the nod, as did Vincent Kompany for leading City during their greatest era to date.
The Staggies have seen plenty of goals on their trips, with six of their eight games so far, seeing at least three goals scored. Moreover, the Dingwall club has scored five times in their last three outings, although they've conceded six in the same amount of games.
It begins a hectic week for the Gunners, who then travel to Standard Liege with Europa League progress still in the balance before hosting Manchester City at the weekend. Elsewhere, there is a full round of European fixtures in midweek, while there will undoubtedly be more fall-out from City's loss to Man United in the Manchester derby on Saturday, not least given the abhorrent allegations of racial abuse suffered by Fred.
We have a Match of Greek Top League where team AEK Athens will play at home with team Panionios. My bet will be here on guests with AH +1.5. AEK Athens did 3 defeats, draw and win at last 5 matches played. Their shape is not so good. Guests did 3 wins and 2 draw games the last 5 matches played. Their results are better. Between each other matches AEK Athens won last 4 times. Team Panionios didnt score any goals there. I think it's time to change statistics. I recommend to try this bet with me for good odds .
But relegated with the best defensive record in Premier League history. If there's ever a way to give yourself a pat on the back for shipping 56 goals, this is it. The average for teams who finish bottom in the 20-team era is 69. West Brom side were on to something - it just wasn't staying up. Thirty-one goals scored at the other end was their issue and a late revival under Moore of three wins in four was fruitless.

Before their loss in the last match, Marseille had gone unbeaten in 14 matches and they will be keen on getting back to this form. They have failed to score in just two of their last 15 matches and with back to back wins over Nimes, they will have the psychological edge. The two sides have met thrice, competitively, and Marseille have registered two wins while Nimes have one.
Another match from Turkey where I see home win and I will try that. So, here, I can said that both rivals are in very good form but Galata is in still in better form. After many wins, they are played 2-2 not so long ago against Sivasspor, as a guests, while Besiktas is won last two matches in league 2-1 and 2-1. In last two years, Galata is two times played at home against Besiktas and beat them both times, and same was the case when Besiktas was home team - also two wins. So, Galata is closer to win and I will try.
Which brings us to Inter, and their transfer moves over this transfer window. The word is that the club are getting a little closer to Tottenham’s demands for Christian Eriksen, with clued-in Italian transfer matrix Fabrizio Romano reporting that they’re upping their offer for the Dane to €15million, still a little short of the €20million Spurs want but very much ‘getting there’.
Senad Lulic volleyed Lazio back into the lead with 17 minutes to go. Juve had Rodrigo Bentancur sent off in injury time, and Danilo Cataldi curled home the resulting free-kick for Lazio. Juventus have only lost two games under Maurizio Sarri, both 3-1 to Lazio this month, having been beaten by Simeone Inzaghi's side in Serie A two weeks ago. This was Juve's eighth consecutive Super Cup appearance - having won Serie A each time - with four of those against Lazio, winning half of them.
Stefano Poli's Milan, meanwhile, are 14th place with 13 points, only four clear of the relegation zone. They have won only four league games out of 12 all season and scored a measly 11 goals. Meanwhile, at the top, leaders Juventus (32 points) visit Atalanta and second-placed Inter Milan (31) travel to Torino, both on Saturday.

I'll know when it's time to retire'Maidstone, who train three mornings a week, went through two different managers last season - Jay Saunders and Harry Wheeler - before appointing John Still as head of football in January. It is the 69-year-old's second stint at the club having steered the original Maidstone United to the Football League in 1989 before standing down because he wanted to stay part-time to continue running a company selling industrial clothing.
Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup highlights: Rochdale v Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup fifth round Burnley are on a run of three defeats in the Premier League but their tie with Peterborough could actually help them get their season back on track, to boost their confidence as much as anything. The Clarets are meant to be watching Peterborough striker Ivan Toney, who is the top scorer in League One with 15 goals, so they will get a chance to take a closer look at him at Turf Moor.
The visitors came into the game in poor form, with no wins in their last four matches, and faced an uphill struggle when Lorenzo Insigne’s shot was parried into the path of Spanish striker Llorente who swept in the opener after 41 minutes. But Sinisa Mihajlovic’s Bologna side launched a stunning second-half comeback as Skov Olsen levelled from close range in the 58th before Sansone capitalised on a defensive mix-up to fire in the winner 10 minutes from time.
In this battle between the newly promoted sides, both teams have not done so well lately, but Sheffield can be proud of their position this far. They have a tighter defence than most of the teams in the league and they are in the top half. Aston Villa on the other hand, have struggled a bit, and the fact that they have only one away win says it all. They have been weak defensively and we have reason to believe, this will be the difference here. Aston Villa have conceded two or more in eight of the last 15, and have just one clean sheet in the last 13 matches. They are winless in four away matches and they face a Sheffield side that has scored in four of their last five and scored seven goals across three of their last five matches. Based on Villa’s weaknesses in defence and away from home, we will go with a win for Sheffield United here.
James Forrest swept just across the face from one cascading move. Odsonne Edouard steamed into the box, opened his body, and ballooned high into the Celtic fans behind Clark's net. Leigh Griffiths smashed over, Christie hammered wide, then found only the iron left wrist of Clark from point-blank range after a neat one-two between Edouard and Tom Rogic. The bombardment continued. From the corner that followed, Edouard's sumptuous back-heel flick struck the near post and the grounded Jullien could not jerk the rebound into the unguarded goal.
The Gunners were somewhat shaky defensively against Wolverhampton Wanderers but managed an impressive 2-0 win in the Saturday game. The win also came with a third straight clean sheet in the league, signaling an improvement in defence since Arteta started playing with wingbacks. While they were lucky to keep a clean sheet against Wolves, we can’t fault Arsenal’s defensive display, looking at how poor they were in the opening games after the restart.
On Saturday, US Soccer postponed a men's training camp in Qatar - which will host the 2022 World Cup - because of "developing tensions" in the region. Dest, 19, was born in the Dutch city of Almere but has an American father and chose to represent the US in October. He has won three caps. Sergino Dest has asked if he could leave Ajax's training camp in Qatar," Ajax said in a statement. He didn't feel comfortable.
Paul Lambert got injured the week before in the Old Firm game, which was a massive blow as he would've marked Paul Scholes. When Lambert was at Borussia Dortmund, his role was to nullify the best player of the opposition, so if he played, I don't think Scholes would've scored twice. That's my excuse, anyway. Former Scotland striker Billy Dodds: "I was at Dundee United at that point and Paul Sturrock was my manager.
Paper Round's view: The Italian boss signed the 28-year-old in 2016 when he was in charge at Stamford Bridge and he fast became one of the most consistent performers in the Premier League, thriving in Conte's 3-4-3 system as a wing-back. However, since Maurizio Sarri replaced Conte, the west London club reverted to a back four, which saw Alonso's form drop off.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo says VAR is making players reluctant to celebrate and "in danger of becoming robots" following Willy Boly's disallowed goal in Friday's 0-0 draw with Leicester. The French defender's header was ruled out because Pedro Neto's heel was fractionally offside in the build-up. Let those who understand do something to have the joy of celebrating," said Nuno. Something has to be done.
The 18-year-old delivered an inch perfect low cross for Alexandre Lacazette to score the game's only goal in the 81st minute of the round of 32 first leg. Klopp tells complaining young Man United fan 'I can't make Liverpool lose' Football news updates - Sterling hails Madrid as "fantastic" but says he's happy at City Saka has been a revelation for Arsenal this season with eight assists, and after setting up the decisive goal van Persie compared him with the very best to play the game.
Reports in Spain say the defender will be out for around a month, missing the Champions League last-16 first leg clash with Liverpool on Feb. Atletico are already without Alvaro Morata, Joao Felix, Diego Costa, Koke, Jose Gimenez and Santiago Arias, while Felipe is suspended for Saturday's clash with Granada.
Paksi SE will host Ferencvaros for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors are strong favorites in this match. Ferencvaros is the best team in this campaign. True, I do not think, this will be a very important match for both sides. I think, the hosts have much motivation to fight for all three points. In any case, the hosts want to win because they are constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. Of course, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory. However, the hosts will try to provide a strong resistance. My pick - Paksi to win.
At Old Trafford in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, he played without a striker, using Bernardo Silva as a false nine, and in the return he went with a back three containing two full-backs because he knew Manchester United would try to exploit the wide spaces. Against Sheffield United last month, Guardiola also went with a 5-3-2 shape because of their split strikers and it would not shock me if he used three centre-backs again in the away leg on Wednesday.
Atalanta is having another wonderful season. They are coming from a victory against Torino and scored 7 goals on that match to continue their amazing record of scoring goals. They are playing in front of goal as if they have nothing to fear. They are scoring 2 or more goals in almost all matches. They also have managed to find the back of the net at least three times in 3 of their last 4 home matches and they are showing no sign of slowing down lately, they are hosting Genoa who are also a good side. Another goal fest is on the card.

AaB have beaten OB home and away in their last two meetings with this fixture last year producing over 2.5 goals and seeing both teams score. OB have lost four of their last six matches in league and cup and AaB have only lost one of their last six matches, picking up three wins and two draws, so you can start to see why we have backed the visitors with a double chance bet this weekend
La Plata the away team will be meeting with the home team huracan and this game we have given it a double chance to win the away team or they will give us a draw and this prediction has being based on the last games that this two teams have played together as the home team have not being doing so that well and so we have seen that they will not be able to win against the away team as the away team is a very strong team as as compared to the home team and this makes us to be very sure with this prediction

The Championship season is set to resume on 20 June, more than three months after it was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic. The EFL said the date was "provisional" and "subject to the strict proviso that all safety requirements and government guidance is met". There are 108 matches remaining, plus the play-off semi-finals and final. No Championship fixtures have been played since 8 March, with the campaign suspended five days later.
Everyone can see the impact it is having on the economy and everyone in football is going to be affected," he said. Companies, like football, that provide entertainment are really suffering. It changes the mentality in everyone. I was very scared at the beginning. Health is the most important thing. Our responsibility is to understand the situation and have solidarity because we all participate in this business.
Wolves have become the first Premier League club to install a drive-through coronavirus testing station for their players at their training ground. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo and his players returned to Compton for individual sessions last week. It is understood Wolves players are yet to use the procedure but backroom staff have been tested. The Premier League hopes the process will become the template for other clubs across the top flight.
