It meant Barcelona could fill the box too, without fear of being offside, and left Messi very little goal to aim at. The Argentine’s effort was headed to safety by a defender on the edge of the six yard box, and it may be a tactic which other sides copy in the future to keep Messi at bay. It was good,” admitted Barcelona coach Quique Setien of the defensive strategy.
Many of Europe's currently-suspended domestic leagues, as well as the European Champions League, hope eventually to complete their seasons this year. The ICC, which began in 2013, has been played in July and August in the United States and beyond. It has featured most of Europe's leading clubs, and many of the games have attracted massive crowds, including 109,000 for a Real Madrid versus Manchester United contest in Michigan in 2014.
The Londoner was brought in to the side for his debut and helped the Owls keep a clean sheet in their 1-0 win upset win over Premier League Brighton & Hove Albion.

I’m a humble lad,” he said in an MUTV interview in 2018, “but I don’t think there’s any better finisher than me, still. The most impressive things about Solskjaer’s finishing were the context of his goals, the range – any distance or angle, any of the three main body parts – and the sheer expertise. Most of his finishes, as his team-mate Jordi Cruyff observed in Glory Glory!, looked like they had been calculated by a computer.
The intention of the newspaper article was actually positive," said Rogers, per BBC Sport. But this headline has totally overshadowed the anti-racist message contained within the story. Unfortunately, as we've seen on social media, more people will see that ill-judged headline on the front page than read the actual article and it creates new issues at a time when we are all trying to tackle the issue of racism in Italian football.
I tell you what, if you’re a lower-division club, you want every single game, especially if it gives you the opportunity to play a game at home because you can earn money. It’s a different choice if all the big clubs don’t want to because they’re worried about being tired. They’ve got loads of money, and they keep telling everyone it’s a squad game.
Manager Bernard Blaquart has been feeling the heat recently but his team haven't been doing anything to help him as they have created the fifth least chances and scored the third least goals this season. Nîmes are usually a team known for their attacking flair but that hasn't been the case this season and it could get worse as les Girondins come to town.
Making the Champions League is vital for a Napoli side who had expected to make a push for the title this season. If this run drags on to January, then expect to see a switch at the top. There have been rumours linking Gennaro Gattuso with the role, but that seems like a risk for a team who can’t afford to take that chance.
Pogba and Dele are going to be up scoring goals so we need someone to hold. AJ: "I'd put Giovani lo Celso or Tanguy Ndombele there but if we're talking defensive wise, you have a point. Matic is solid defensively. Dele and Pogba can both attack so having three attacking midfielders doesn't really make sense.

When Bruno Fernandes lifted his finger to his lips to 'shush' Pep Guardiola at Old Trafford, he became an instant hero for Manchester United supporters. The Portuguese midfielder has made an immediate impact both on and off the pitch for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, who are unbeaten since his arrival from Sporting Lisbon for £47m in the January transfer window. Despite playing just nine games and seeing big-name players such as Radamel Falcao, Angel di Maria and Alexis Sanchez fail to make an impression before him, Fernandes has already been touted as the club's best signing since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
Moreover, in recent times, Extremadura have toughened up, none of their last four fixtures, keeping three clean sheets in the process. However, they have tended to struggle against the top teams, losing each of their six matches against teams that currently reside in the top six. Girona aren't quite in the top six, but they're certainly in that bracket in terms of quality, while they beat Extremadura by three goals to one when the pair met earlier in the campaign.
It was definitely not one we deserved. We gave it everything, but their freshness showed in the second half. On reports some wages had not been paid in full: "All of that will be resolved and done properly. Everyone inside the camp were totally understanding of it. It has been explained to everyone.

All this stuff can impact individuals and lead to issues. Gambling is also having a big impact on people because it's so easy to access these days. But Bloom said that football was "10-15 years behind" other sports like cricket and rugby union when it came to player welfare.

In the Red Bull Arena, NY City welcomes San Carlos. NY City doesn't play at their regular ground but still, they will have the upper hand. The team has not changed much in the past few seasons but the most important addition from the last one was Heber - from Rijeka. He scored 3 goals in the first match which ended 5:3 for City. San Carlos paid the price for their horrible defense but also their attacking approach. San Carlos plays open-minded in the away games as well and 2 of their last 3 ended with over 5.5 goals. NY City is the favorite and I see goals coming again

Talkback isn't used to give you knowledge, it's to give you timings alongside directing you through different sections of the show. So, in any broadcast it is needed. This wasn't even hidden from me by the powers that be, I was outright told this had been done to me and then it was laughed about right in front of my face. In those early days of my career I would dress down hoping it would help me be taken more seriously.
I am a bit worried we have got Stoke, who are second-bottom, next though. It is a Sheffield Wednesday thing that we always seem to raise our game against equivalent or better teams - but then drop points against the lesser sides. Wednesday's best league finish since they were relegated from the Premier League in 2000 was the fourth place they managed in the Championship in 2017. They are currently third, eight points off the automatic promotion placesWhile Wednesday are bidding to return to the Premier League, their neighbours and rivals Sheffield United have turned into the season's surprise package following their promotion, and sit fifth in the table.
Video - Euro Papers: Jose offers Bale a Spurs 'escape route' as flag fury grows01:17 Spurs contract trio to reconsider future One benefit of the appointment of Jose Mourinho is that they may now tie down three players who had previously been expected to leave the club for nothing in the summer, or for a nominal fee in January.

After 26 games, Santa Clara had 34 points, ranked 8th in the rankings and was not too worried about his fate. Reaching the top of the European Cup is difficult, but Santa Clara is also safer than Portimonense - an opponent in the danger zone to 14 points. That gap is not easy to level, because remember Portugal National Park has only 34 rounds, this is already the 27th round.
Wolves' Europa League game against Olympiakos in Greece on Thursday was played behind closed doorsWhat happens about player contracts if the season is not finished by 30 June - as well as other extra fees such as for appearances and goals?Stone: "This is a complex area.

Irish Transport Minister Shane Ross will not publish nor comment on the findings of the report, his department said in a statement after it referred the audit to police. Delaney, who had led the association since 2005 and remains a member of the executive committee of European soccer's ruling body UEFA, left the FAI completely in September after being on gardening leave for months.
Hull's hopes securing their survival were always slimmer than slim and they will be playing League One football next season for the first time since 2005 following their defeat at play-off bound Cardiff City which left them bottom of the pile. The fact even a victory would not have saved them from going down will be of little consolation. Charlton's final-day defeat was perhaps the most predictable as they soundly beaten by champions Leeds United.
Playing at Camp Nou (in Slavia's Champions League group match against Barcelona) was complete science fiction for me because my biggest goal used to be to get to the first league. Trpisovsky, speaking after a first team training station, got his big break in 2013 when taking the helm at second division Viktoria Zizkov.
two pretty much similar teams and difference between them on the table is not huge so I think both of the teams have a legit chance to win tomorrow but I decided to give advantage to the nurnberg because of their great offense on the road and I m very confident they will score a goal tomorrow and with that goal scored they should surely not lose the game, so I think it will be either 1-1 draw or nurnberg will win so I go with this handicap on them and who wants to risk could go with clear win for visitors

Speaking at a press conference prior to the resumption of the Premier League, Hasenhuttl said: "No, he [Hojbjerg] will not be captain. We had an agreement, and [I] made clear that if you decide not to extend your contract, you will not be captain of this team. He knows that he is an important player for this club. I think we have found a good agreement. Hojbjerg has made more 100 Premier League appearances for Southampton.
Toulouse have scored three goals in their last four league games but one was a penalty and the other an own goal so there is a lot of improvement to be done at the top end of the pitch. Les Violets' defence has been even worse with them conceding the drawn most goals in Ligue 1 since Kombouaré's arrival. Toulouse look even worse than they were under Alain Casanova and we don't think that will change here as they host Monaco.
Guardiola's champions may not have hit the heights of the last two seasons, but they remain one of the best teams in Europe. There was a clear gulf in class between the sides and recent murmurs of any City travails are merely because they've set the bar so ridiculously high. Arsenal have now won just once in their last nine league matches and at this juncture look a world away from seriously competing with the other clubs hoping to challenge for the Champions League places.

Manchester United's attempt to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes has stalled because the clubs cannot agree a fee. Sporting are demanding 80m euros (£68m) for the 25-year-old, which United are unwilling to pay. Talks continue between the clubs for a player rated at 45m euros by Tottenham Hotspur last summer. United have not ruled out targeting alternatives having made a priority of looking at midfield options this month.

Atlético Madrid - FC GranadaGetty Images Koke's absence from the team coincided with their woeful slide in form, in which they lost to Eibar and Real Madrid, drew 0-0 at home to struggling Leganes and were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by third division side Cultural Leonesa. For the first time in his eight-year spell with Atletico, the pressure was on all-powerful coach Diego Simeone, who this week was named by French newspaper L'Equipe as the highest earning manager in European football.

On this occasion, the corner taker Pedro Neto was offside when he received a short corner back from Diego Jota.

PAOK is currently on a very impressive streak with 4 consecutive victories, which allowed them to get to the first place of the Greek Superleague after a couple of draws from Olympiakos in the last weeks. PAOK has yet to lose a game this season after 12 wins and 4 drawers and on this match we expect another win from them. Aris is a decent team, is currently in the 6th place but PAOK is clearly the better side and with their price above events on the 1x2 market we can only take PAOK to get the victory on this match.

I can't remember Jurgen Klopp buying anyone that hasn't really done it apart from Loris Karius.
