Messi equalled Telmo Zarra's 251-goal record with a free-kick, before breaking it and stretching it with a third. Messi is now on 438 La Liga goals, almost 200 clear of the old record, and more than 100 above Ronaldo - who was on 311 before he left Real Madrid for Juventus. Messi's 500th Barcelona goal comes in El Clasico Real Madrid 2-3 Barcelona - 23 April 2017Sometimes a goal almost seems too perfect - and this was one of those.
Ancelotti said: "I don't want to talk about this because I think it is unfair to talk about a player at a different club in this moment. Southampton are likely to demand more, or perhaps players in exchange, and they will hope Spurs spark a transfer battle with Everton by firming up their long-standing interest in the player who came to St Mary's from Bayern Munich in 2016. Spurs may wish to include defender Kyle Walker-Peters, who has been on loan at Southampton this season in any potential deal and it has been suggested Hojbjerg prefers a move to London.
Video - Haaland on the shooting advice he got from Solskjaer02:56 It’s that sort of astonishing level-headedness at such a young age that has earned Haaland plenty of plaudits so far and it certainly can go a long way to explain why he never seems to be overawed no matter what the stage. As for Haaland he is just keeping his feet on the ground and believes it is just the start of something potentially very special.

Parking the bus and upsetting the apple cart"Please do not call me arrogant because what I say is true. I'm European champion, I'm not one out of the bottle, I think I'm a special one. From the moment Mourinho said that during his unveiling, the British media knew they were in for a ride. For years the top end of the Premier League had been about the clash between Wenger's Arsenal and Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.

They were highly significant absentees. Maddison and Chilwell gave it everything on this final day - but were restricted to giving it, loudly and passionately, from the directors' box as they sat powerless to influence events. Leicester have had a fine season, a success in so many respects - but to be in the top four for so long then slip at the last can only be regarded as a desperate anti-climax.
Many people had written Wellington Phoenix off after just four games of the season when they sat bottom without a point but a remarkable run of games has seen them unbeaten in six, form that has propelled them into the top 6 and playoff contention. This form has seen them knock the likes of Western Sydney Wanderers out of the playoff places and into a battle for finals football.
Uefa is still planning for a June restart across its leagues but says in "special cases" some could be cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic. All 55 European national FAs met by video conference on Tuesday when ways to finish the season were outlined. Each involved a June start, with the Champions League final on 29 August. Earlier this month, Uefa warned leagues that ending competitions early could result in them forfeiting Champions League and Europa League places.
Charlotte has been named as Major League Soccer's 30th franchise and will join the league in 2021. They will play their home games at Bank of America Stadium, home of NFL side Carolina Panthers, which will undergo extensive renovations. The club - which has yet to announce its name - is owned by Panthers chief David Tepper. We are thrilled to welcome Charlotte as Major League Soccer's 30th club," said MLS commissioner Don Garber.

It's hard for us to score at the moment. Our first couple of mistakes they score and then it's very difficult. Their physicality is incredible, their defenders win the duels, they stop the game. They are very fast in attack. They can hurt us all of the time, they deserve to go through. If I can be critical of some of my players, I keep this for us.
Mourinho, appointed Tottenham manager last Wednesday after the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino, added: "We have the best striker in England. It doesn't make sense to sign him when we have Harry Kane. He's won at every club he's gone to' - Mourinho can end Spurs trophy drought, says KaneEngland captain Kane scored twice last Saturday as Tottenham won 3-2 at West Ham in the Premier League. He now has 175 goals in 269 games for Spurs, overtaking Martin Chivers to move third on the club's all-time top scorer list.
Ruh Brest has iron and rock defensive system and all punters can rely on this team. That defense can stop any rival. Top of that, Ruh Brest has not lost in 6 league games which is an outstanding achievement. Only BATE remained undefeated in six.
But when you analyse any defence, it is just as important to look at the players in front of them. The more they do, the less you do as a defender. We had hard working players who knew their roles and responsibilities and that seemed to be the case for Arteta on Sunday too. With Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi, Arsenal finally had two midfield players who were prepared to sit, and it also felt like the front players knew when to go to engage, because together they did that really well.
Xavi, a deep lying midfielder, had an incredible career that saw him represent Spain 133 times, winning the World Cup once and European Championship twice. His European club career encompassed a fantastic period of success with Barcelona, including eight La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues and both the Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup twice apiece. Crouch: “Paul Scholes is number four and Xavi number five.
A League of Ireland football team was only a part of it. The plan was to enter the new "A Championship" in 2008 - a short-lived third tier for developing teams and B teams. We were taking time to put it together but lo and behold Kilkenny City were in trouble and we got asked a few weeks before the league started to put a team into the First Division [second tier],” Buckley said. Kilkenny resigned from the league on 18 January 2008, Sporting Fingal had their official launch on 11 February and they played their first league game on 8 March.
Close! Almost the perfect introduction off the bench by Pereira! Some in the stadium think he has scored as he hits the side-netting from a tight angle. KEY STATS This was Arsenal’s first Premier League win of the season against a team currently in the top-half of the Premier League (P10 W1 D4 L5). Arsenal have scored eight goals via corners in the Premier League this season, two more than any other team.

It's important that VAR is there to support the referee. It shouldn't be somebody else taking the decision on behalf of the referee, and this is how VAR is implemented in almost every part of the world, but not everywhere," he told the Olympic Channel, the International Olympic Committee's web-based TV station.
City are the only side they have visited in the competition without ever winning, but Chelsea will be hoping their switch in head coach from Nick Cushing to Alan Mahon could also mean a change in their fortunes. If they are to take the three points in Manchester, all eyes will be on number nine Beth England, who set a record by scoring in eight consecutive WSL appearances last time out.
Lazio are 3rd and in good shape and playing at home I see them able to take this win and because also the draw is possible I'm going to try this DNB on them. Home team have 39 points after 17 matches and they did 5 wins in the last 5 matches played. Have good attack and at home they did well so far. Opponent have 24 points and are in the middle. They did only 1 win in the last 5 matches played and so this will be a tough match for them and away they are going to lose.
For some unknown reason, at least for me, the odds started to raise-up a little bit against favorites here. But despite this fact, I strongly believe that Benfica can close the match in a comfortable way.
Sivasspor took 4 points from both games after the season restart, defending third place in the table. Kayserispor is in the last place but won 3 of the last 5 games and is on the rise. It remains to be seen if this is enough to get points, but I think the team will have a surprise like last year. In my opinion, Sivasspor is only a slight favorite in this game. The trend with them is clearly pointing downwards. But it was also to be expected that they would not be able to hold this Nivea. Kayserispor is fighting relegation, but clearly improved. Don't see them here without a chance.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson will miss about three weeks with a hamstring injury, says manager Jurgen Klopp. Henderson, 29, was forced off late on in Liverpool's 1-0 Champions League defeat by Atletico Madrid on Tuesday. The midfielder has made 34 appearances for the runaway Premier League leaders this season, scoring three goals. We have heard of different hamstring injuries in the Premier League - Harry Kane for example - but it's not that bad," said Klopp on Friday.
We had both already scored two apiece so I reckon we could have had a hat-trick if we had been left on. Along with Paul Ince, David Seaman and Gazza, Teddy was one of the players I met up with to reminisce - in his case over a round of golf. Media playback is not supported on this device Euro 96: Alan Shearer and Teddy Sheringham hit the golf course But I also spoke to people who I did not encounter at the time - for example David Baddiel and Frank Skinner, who were behind the "Three Lions" song, and the BBC commentators John Motson and Barry Davies.

The game, postponed last month following a storm warning, will be the first Bundesliga match played behind closed doors since the outbreak of the virus several weeks ago. We regret that it came to this but of course we are following the guidelines of the federal state. It was not an easy decision," mayor Hans Wilhelm Reiners said in a statement on Tuesday.
Ahal is the leader in the league, and lost only to this rival, few days ago. However, they have won recent match at this ground, and there is not reason for them to pull out for at least draw against the Champion.
But the point of the FA is to protect the sport and the millions of boys and girls around the country who play it - not encourage gambling. Players, managers and owners of clubs are excluded from engaging with betting companies, so why should the FA be any different? The government allowing members of the public to gamble is one thing, but for a governing body to act in this way is entirely different.
Meanwhile, they have scored in all except one of the 17 matches at home and will be hoping to extend this against Liverpool. Among the teams in the top nine that have already visited Arsenal, the Gunners have managed to beat only Manchester United, but they have lost just three of their 17 home league matches this season.
'Correct Score' punters can try a 3-1 win for Qarabag, who can match both APOEL and Sevilla by scoring three at home against Dudelange. Though not overly strong in attack, the visitors could quite easily get on the score-sheet, as they have done in three out of five and as they did when scoring once on route to losing the reverse fixture.
Diego Simeone's side, whose last defeat against lower-ranked opposition was against Albacete in the final game before the manager's arrival, currently sit third in the La Liga table. It is their third defeat in a row - they lost to Eibar in the league on Saturday, having lost 4-1 on penalties to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final the previous Sunday. On Wednesday, former Atletico striker Antoine Griezmann scored two late goals as Barcelona avoided a shock defeat against third tier UD Ibiza.
Will Olympics delay affect Neville's future?'We must build a common vision'Fifpro released a paper on Thursday outlining the "existential threat" facing the women's game because of the pandemic, with the average length of a player's contract just over 12 months long. Now is the time to have this conversation about women’s football. Not in a couple of weeks or a couple of months, now," said Fifpro's chief women’s football officer Amanda Vandervort.
Lechia is playing good this season and still have chances to get the qualification to the Europa league by the Polish Cup. The team has remained undefeated in 4 of the last 5 game and have 49 points while the Jagiellonia have remained undefeated in 4 games and won against Cracovia. The hosts played against Legia at home in the last game, while Lechia does not present a stable form. It is hard to expect many chances from guests in Bialystok, especially that this season they have already lost 3: 0 here, and in Gdańsk they only managed to draw a goalless. The only obstacle for Jaga may be injuries in the team, so a draw cannot be ruled out in this match.
Under Rodgers, Celtic were a formidable force in the league. More silver than Long John's family tree was gathered by the Northern Irishman, yet the criticism of not adapting his expansive style enough in Europe was levelled on more than one occasion. Across 12 group stages games in two seasons, 34 goals were haemorrhaged. Only seven scored. Under Lennon's guidance, it has been a different story. The caveat is that we are talking Europa League and not Champions League, but it's clear the Celtic manager's team has a rigidity, discipline and structure suited to the European game.
The home team have scored a 4 goal total and 5 goal total in recent home matches they can be a high scoring team at times and really open up their matches. They look very attacking here and their balls into the box have looked much higher. The away team have struggled a little with defending and this could allow the home team to once again get a bag of goals. This match should not be seeing less than 3 goals as the home team has simply looked far to strong here with the amount of chances they get in matches

The whole world has changed, so playing some games of football without supporters there is not really that big an issue. Premier League clubs are not being greedy with this, they are just trying to stay alive. Ruud Gullit: The people need it. People would rather see it on TV without any crowds than see nothing at all. And looking at the bigger picture, you don't want to see a Premier League downsized by clubs that have gone bust - because it will be a long time before there are any crowds.
No bad for a side who play the football they play. In normal circumstances, Simeone's record in knockout matches reads in binary such are the volume of ones and zeros, but this was not one of those nights, as the gameplan was executed to perfection. The approach is simple, and often effective: get that lead and hang on to it.
I think yes, we should as a sport talk about opportunities for coaches and managers but there is also administration and many other areas of the game where we employ people in analysis departments and medical departments. We should have representation across all of those areas. Southgate 'always observing' players breaking lockdown rulesWhile Southgate praised many of his players' actions during lockdown, he also said he and his staff are "always observing" those who have broken rules.
For us it's a catastrophe," Klopp told reporters on Friday. I couldn't respect the Africa Cup of Nations more than I do because I like the competition and watched it a lot in the past. It's a very interesting tournament. But it's an obvious problem that you play a tournament in the middle of the season, although it makes more sense for Africa to play it in our winter when the weather is better for them -- I get that.
Gennaro Gattuso suffered defeat in his first game in charge of Napoli at home to Parma thanks to a stoppage-time winner from Gervinho. The former Arsenal striker struck three minutes into added time to secure the victory after Napoli forward Arkadiusz Milik had cancelled out Dejan Kulusevski's early opener. Gattuso succeeded Carlo Ancelotti as Napoli head coach on Wednesday. Napoli drop to eighth and are now without a win in eight Serie A matches.
