Despite having obvious talent, Benfica haven't had a good time in the Champions League with just one win and, although they can still qualify from Group G, they need to win both of their final games to stand a chance. Qualification to the Europa League looks a lot more likely with their final group game against Zenit looking like it could be a decider over who enters Europe's second competition at the round of 32.
Like many industries, cricket recognises the challenges it currently faces; the players have been alert to the need for them to play their part. The coronavirus pandemic will continue to put financial pressure on the game and this initial two-month agreement will support the game for the period of April and May.
Ismaila Sarr ignited the sensation, stunning Liverpool with two goals in six second-half minutes before he set up captain Troy Deeney with a third for the team who had started the day one from bottom, 55 points behind the runaway leaders. Liverpool's first league defeat of the season meant the end of their hopes of going the whole league campaign as unbeaten as the new 'Invincibles' after 44 league matches without a defeat.

Real Madrid replaced Barca at the top of the table when they beat the defending champions 2-0 at the Bernabeu on 1 March. But Barca regained top spot on 7 March as Messi's late penalty - his 19th league goal of the season - gave them a 1-0 home win over Real Sociedad, and Real lost 2-1 at Real Betis the next day to surrender the initiative in the title race. Barca are two points clear with 11 rounds left in La Liga, which resumed with Sevilla's derby win over Betis on Thursday.
I am happy, even if I say that under my breath to be on the safe side. Regaining my health means seeing myself in the mirror again, seeing the hair grow, not having to draw eyebrows on with a pencil. In that respect, I feel very fortunate compared to many others. HAT TIP "Scottish football does not have a monopoly on toxicity.
Newcastle fans vow to raise Saudi issues despite support for dealWill Saudi-backed Newcastle takeover pass Premier League test?His hot-headed reaction to Ferguson's comments is widely viewed as Keegan's having cracked under the pressure of the tightest of title races, of the wily United boss recording a crucial "mind games" victory which led to Newcastle's late-season slump and runners-up finish. But Keegan and his players didn't see it that way.
If you don't get details right in big games, you're going to drop points. At times we have played really well this season. As a group we need to find more consistency. Willian in the goals all year round - the statsWest Ham ended a 20-game losing run when conceding the first goal in Premier League fixtures, with this the first time they avoided defeat after conceding first in the competition since February 2019 - a 3-1 win over Fulham.
Serie A chief executive Luigi de Siervo said the league's commitment against all forms of prejudice was "strong and concrete". He added: "We know that racism is an endemic and very complex problem, which we will tackle on three different levels: the cultural one, through works like that of Simone; the sporting one, with a series of initiatives together with clubs and players; and the repressive one, thanks to collaboration with the police.
Neither side has been extremely convincing in recent weeks but with Nantes awful on the road, we're backing Brest to get the win here. Les Ty'Zefs have found much of their success in front of their own fans so should have enough about them to beat this very out-of-sorts Nantes side. Nantes haven’t scored in three of their last four games and with Brest keeping two clean sheets in their last three home games we're backing this match to finish 1-0 to the hosts.
Chelsea also have problems further forward. Callum Hudson-Odoi has everything he needs to develop into a proper player, but Pedro and Willian are on the way down and Christian Pulisic is erratic. Mason Mount, meanwhile, has some talent, but looks like someone who sometimes does good things, rather than someone able to impose himself regularly; to play as a number 10 in a serious team, it is not enough to prompt nicely; the return must, in the first instance, be measured in goals and assists.
Aston Villa are on a relegation spot and have the worst defense so far in the league conceding 56 goals already in the 28 games. In the last 3 home games in the league they conceded 10 goals. However, since half September last year Aston Villa have also scored in each home game.

It's one of the things I'm so proud of in my career: going from that to living in a different country and winning Champions Leagues. It's from one end of the spectrum to the other and not many are going to have that experience. I'd say to my younger self: 'Enjoy what you do and make sure you work hard. Everything I have now is through hard work. I have some talent, but my hard work outweighs my talent in my career.
Remember: Messi has already won, apparently. Big Virg? Of course, it's not just Messi in the hunt for the Ballon d'Or. Liverpool supremo Virgil van Dijk is also hoping to scoop football's most coveted individual prize - and his team-mate James Milner is backing him. Happy Ballon d'or Day! What a time to be alive.
Paper Round’s view: Is this actually happening? It is an incredibly audacious move from Everton, but why not aim high. The reports around this contrast from Ancelotti wanting a break from management, to the Italian likely to be sitting in the Goodison Park dugout on Saturday. It is difficult to know who to believe.
Rennes will also be fancying themselves here though as they travel to Lyon. Julien Stéphan's men have been in great form recently with four wins on the trot bringing smiles back to the fans' faces. Their most recent victory came on Thursday as they beat Lazio 2-0 in the Europa League and they'll be looking to put in a similarly impressive performance here.

Despite these pitiful runs, the two teams are in relatively cushy positions. Schalke are in eighth place and while a Champions League place is out of reach, a Europa League spot is grabbable. Augsburg, meanwhile, are somehow four points clear of the relegation play-off spot in 14th place. Chances are that if you heard about one result from the Bundesliga's return, it was Schalke's.
Indeed, things don’t really get better for Daniel Farke’s side at Carrow Road. They have lost five of their last seven league games there and won none, conceding some 18 goals in the process. In fact, they have conceded at least two goals in each of their last nine league home games.
I am a big, big fan of the Blues right now, and their manager Frank Lampard. Chelsea are a young team so they are going to have some weeks where things do not go so well for them, but it is exciting to see a lot of young English players get their chance. Liverpool v Wolves (16:30)The number of chances Liverpool have created in the first five minutes of their past two league games is just frightening.
Celtic say they have "received no reports of any racial abuse but would fully investigate any should these be brought to our attention". And Police Scotland say they have received no complaints. The Ibrox side's victory moved them to within two points of Premiership leaders Celtic, with a game in hand to play in the new year. Colombia international Morelos was pictured drawing a hand across his neck in an apparent throat-cutting gesture as he left the field following his dismissal.

Shearer: "It is such an iconic goal with his ability and the way he runs off and celebrates. Wright: "It was the significance of it, and how that team refused to be beaten. Ryan Giggs came off the bench and Patrick Vieira gave the ball away, but I thought it was fine because he was still in his own half. Then he starts running and no one engages with him, and once he gets going he just gets through them.
It's a shame I cannot tip on the correct score for this one. I would definitely bet on 0 x 1. It has great value at 7,4 and true odds are 4,43. Anyway, having said that I will go for the under 2,5 on this one at 1,67, real odd should be 1,38 so it's great value! These two are always going up and down over and under 2.5 but at Incheon's the last 4 matches only one ended up as over 2,5 goals.
BVB only bought the 19-year-old in January, and in his brief time at the club he has already shown his capability of lifting them back to the very top of European football. It would take a very big offer to persuade them to let Haaland leave after just half a season (or even less than half, depending how the revamped schedule looks following the coronavirus pandemic).
His latest two goals have pushed him up the list of this season's top scorers in the Champions League - but in a slightly more unique turn of events he has also risen up the table of goalscorers in London. In fact, only four players have scored more goals in London this season in the Premier League and Champions League combined - Harry Kane (13), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Son Heung-min (both 10), and Tammy Abraham (seven).

The FA felt that Casilla's use of high-profile character witnesses (including former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez) was a "shameless ploy". The commission did not consider this to be an aggravating factor. The commission felt that Leeds United team manager Matt Grice, who was with Casilla when he was informed of the allegation against him, "was not seeking to assist us to ascertain the truth".
It is not going to be a seller's market, that's for sure," said one source. If clubs thought they could get a certain figure for a player, they might well find they can't now. What happens now?There are two big questions that need to be answered. When is the season going to resume and is there a deadline by which games need to be finished? No-one knows the answer to the first and no-one in authority is saying anything about the second.

When Rory Curtis awoke from his coma, he didn't know where he was. He didn't know how he had got there. He couldn't remember his past as a promising teenage striker at Manchester United's academy; nor the slow demise of his football career; nor the crash that had left him with a shattered hip, a broken elbow, a multifocal intracranial haemorrhage and a diffused brain injury. When his eyes blinked open and he began to speak, fluent French poured out, a language he had only studied in school, all of which had long since been forgotten.
During the month-long first phase of the ticket application window between 12 June and 12 July, 19. For context, there were 11 million requests for the equivalent phase of Euro 2016. Delving further into the numbers, according to Uefa there were 1. Euro 2020 at Wembley - 22 times the capacity of the stadium. The figures suggest people are also embracing the fact the tournament is taking place in multiple cities, with each fan applying for 14 tickets for games over at least two venues.
Hopefully we will be closer to each other than ever, and ready for the beautiful distraction that football can bring. To play in a European Championship next summer will still be possible for all of our squad and so we shouldn't spend another moment thinking about the postponement of the competition.
Sukur scored what is still the fastest ever World Cup goal coming just 11 seconds after kick-off against South Korea in 2002After retiring from football, he went into politics. In 2011, Sukur won a seat in Turkey's Parliament as a member of Erdogan's Justice and Development Party . But he was also tied to Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish Islamic scholar and rival of Erdogan, whom the Turkish President blamed for a bloody attempted coup in 2016.
He was banned for seven months and summarily sacked. Chelsea believe the club's social responsibility to its fans, players, employees and other stakeholders in football regarding drugs was more important than the major financial considerations to the company," the club said as they wrote off the asset they had paid Parma north of £15m for a little over a year before. In an unprecedented legal action, Chelsea have pursued Mutu for millions of pounds in compensation for more than a decade since.

Fraser turned down a short-term contract extension on Wednesday. Personally, do I feel let down? No," Howe told BBC Radio Solent. I would prefer to focus on the players I do have available. Fraser scored 20 goals in 183 league appearances for Bournemouth. The Cherries are 18th in the Premier League and inside the relegation zone on goal difference. These are the most important games this football club has had at recent times," Howe added.
The latest side to make the trip to Blundell Park is a Cheltenham Town side who will be pleased with the way that their season has gone so far as they have claimed 30 points from their 17 games so far. The visitors have two games in hand on the current league leaders and they know that if they win both of those matches, then they will be able to go level on points with the side currently in top spot. The Robins have been a force this term, but if they are to challenge for the title then they will need to improve their output away from home, as they have managed just 12 points away from home this season, albeit having played a couple of games less away than those who have a better points return.
He would give you reasons for what was happening and it would be on the clock. That was something I certainly appreciated as a player and the modern player expects now. I liked that and responded well to that. Chelsea top four challengersChelsea travel across London having lost four of their last five Premier League games, while Tottenham have been rejuvenated under Mourinho, winning four of their last five league fixtures.
