Read the full story Video - Barca meet with Xavi as they close in on 'their Zidane' - Euro Papers01:40 Competition hots up for Young Ashley Young has four offers to continue his career, according to the Sun. The newspaper reports that Manchester United have offered their captain another 12 month deal when his current contract expires at the end of the season.
I felt the players were being attacked. There are enough comments made about the changing room managing everything at the club, including that they hire coaches, players, and especially about me. It has been said that I have a lot of power and take decisions and it upset me when that had been suggested by someone from the club. To actually blame the players as part of the reason to get rid of the manager is crazy.
The 28-year-old Dane made his Barca debut as a substitute in a 5-0 win over Eibar last weekend. The champions will be without the injured Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele and Sergi Roberto but left-back Jordi Alba has recovered from a thigh problem. Eden Hazard may not play again this season for Real, but captain Sergio Ramos is able to play. His red card against City means he will miss their next Champions League match.
You can put now in front of me any club in the world and I would not move. British media suggested Arsenal were interested in Mourinho before Tottenham sacked Mauricio Pochettino and signed a man who is now, nine days later, the longest-serving Premier League manager in north London. The Daily Mail reported that Arsenal's head of football Raul Sanllehi had already lined up a deal for the Portuguese.
Both sides have seen their games average 2.75 goals but this one looks like it might be a bit tighter with neither team possessing much in the final third throughout the tournament with just 12 goals between them so far. We can definitely see this one being a tight, cagey affair on what should be a freezing cold Russian night and are backing the under 2.5 goal line to be a winner at 11/10.
United are two points behind Chelsea in the race for the top four but they are fifth, which will be enough for a Champions League place if Manchester City's European ban is upheld. They are also still in the Europa League and FA Cup. How do they compare with Europe's best trios? Marcus Rashford (15), Anthony Martial (15) and Mason Greenwood (eight) have scored 38 of Manchester United's 56 Premier League goals between them this seasonThe United trio have scored more goals in all competitions this season than Liverpool's feted front three of Mohamed Salah (21), Sadio Mane (19) and Roberto Firmino (11).
Having won 2-1 on Sturm Graz's field, Wolfsberger got off to a good start in the Austrian Championship Round, reaching second place and only behind the team led by RB Salzburg with 5 points distance. Continuing with the second round, teachers and coach Feldhofer will have a confrontation with LASK Linz, this is an unpleasant name.
As the starter before the main course, Liverpool showed all the verve and resilience that has made them worthy Premier League champions to finally overcome a Chelsea side still chasing the point they need for a place in the top four. Fans gathered to celebrate outside AnfieldIt was an evening with a surreal tinge. Before lockdown, as Liverpool ran away with the Premier League, the expectation was that the title would be celebrated inside a packed Anfield with the Kop in full voice.
Chelsea took charge from then on as Batshuayi headed over from Reece James' left-wing cross before Barkley scored Chelsea's second after Jordan Smith had parried Hudson-Odoi's effort. Barkley nearly scored his second with a header in the second half following more good work from Hudson-Odoi, but Smith made a fingertip save to push the ball onto the post.

Liverpool moved 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League with a comfortable win over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, one of seven changes for the Reds, opened the scoring after a brilliant long-range pass from Jordan Henderson. Naby Keita made it 2-0 before the break, slotting in with the outside of his foot after Mohamed Salah set him up with a sublime backheel.
The Foxes have been in indifferent form since the league restarted and Rodgers will have been desperate to maintain momentum after a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace last time out. For long spells it looked like they would leave north London empty-handed, especially when they were relying on Schmeichel to stop them falling even further behind as Arsenal took control after going ahead. Leicester showed spirit and composure and were handed the initiative when Nketiah's reckless lunge at Justin gave them impetus to push for the leveller.
Posted at 59' Foul by Rúben Vezo (Levante). Mohamed Salah is closing in on Lionel Messi, while it was Groundhog Day for Manchester City. Meanwhile, there was a Premier League first in Bournemouth's game against Aston Villa while one player made history by scoring in three different decades for his club.
Porto need to get a win from this game to keep their title hopes alive. A draw wouldn't be a disaster but losing at home to Benfica most certainly would be. The home side take on a side that have scored in all their away games this season and are averaging over two goals a game on their travels. Porto beat Benfica earlier in the season so know how to get past their defenders. A bet on both teams to score is the one to go for here.
Barnsley may not have won since the opening day of the season, but they are still making waves in the second tier. They’ve seen over 2.5 goals in eight of their last nine matches, conceding twice in each of those. They have the league’s worst defense, which shipped another three goals in a 3-2 loss away to Blackburn on Saturday.
The arrival of their new boss should improve things for a Stoke side who have showed their talents with some strong displays, sitting in the top half based on the strength of their performance data. They’ve been let down by bad luck and defensive errors, but that’s something O’Neill has proven he can fix.

They looked deadly together once more, yet neither was needed to score in the 5-0 thumping. Neil Lennon spoke post-match about his entire side looking ruthless and hungry in the second-half - and that's what will (most likely) be the key difference.

Neymar is once again free for carnival selection. Cue the conspiracy theories. Neymar posted on Instagram on Friday to declare that, this year, he would not - repeat NOT - be attending the Rio Carnival. View more on twitterEvery year, since 2014, he has been either unfit or suspended around this time of year - which coincides closely with the carnival and his sister's birthday. This year was to be different.
We hope it will improve the level of the game because the players may get more responsible," he said. Yuri, a Dinamo Minsk supporter, believes the current interest in the Belarusian league could eventually open doors for their players to move to bigger teams in Europe. Yet when European soccer resumes, he hopes fans will still flip the channel to the Belarusian league.
They will be hoping for a repeat of their last game when they take on Los Angeles FC on Tuesday. Sounders drew 0-0 with SJ Earthquakes in their opening game at the tournament before falling 2-1 to Chicago Fire but recovered with a 3-0 win over Vancouver. Save for their last game, they were not as sharp in attack at the group stages but will have something to carry to the knockouts defensively, having kept two clean sheets.

I will miss the friends I've made here, the staff that make the club run, playing at the amazing new stadium and of course you fans," he added. Thank you for all the support over the years. You've been amazing. We had many unbelievable memories but for now, it's goodbye. Vertonghen, who joined Tottenham from Ajax in 2012, did not feature in his side's last Premier League game of the season, a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.
On a night when you thought it couldn't get any worse for Tottenham, their England defender had to be restrained from clashing with a group of his own fans. I was at Selhurst Park when Eric Cantona flew into a crowd of supporters and kung-fu kicked a Crystal Palace fan. The incident caused outrage and saw the Manchester United and France forward banned for nine matches. But even that wasn't an attack on his 'own' supporter.

Spurs were listless, lifeless, exposed. All the things that led to Pochettino's demise were laid out in front of Mourinho. Gazzaniga performed in a manner that suggested Hugo Lloris' return in goal cannot come soon enough, while the way in which Olympiakos cut through will exercise Mourinho's mind as he plots the future. In better news, Dele Alli's revival continued and Kane proved he will be central to everything Mourinho wants to achieve as he became the quickest player to reach 20 goals in the Champions League.
Watford carry an unbeaten six-match stretch with them in Saturday's contest, and their convincing 3-0 win at relegation candidates Bournemouth last weekend shone a light on just how much they have improved in a short space of time under Pearson.
Sociedad have netted in all of their home matches this term so we expect them to play their part against a Barca side who have conceded in five of their last six competitive games, but Valverde's men should be too strong as they build towards El Clasico and can match the three goals which Los Blancos bagged against Txuri-urdinak on Matchday 14.
This is the league where you can put your money on the away team to do it for you because away teams in this league rarely disappoint. National has been in great form so far compared to the home side who have been in poor form both playing away and at home. I expect an open game that's why I chose the away side considering how they are very good and also aiming for promotion. This a match they surely should win without any disturbances because the home team is on a poor run of form and they have a tactical inept manager.
My first United game was as a four-year-old and, if I'm honest, my main memory of standing on the terraces was being excited about the fact I was allowed to have some fish and chip crisps and a cup of Bovril at half-time. From then on, though, it became about so much more. I was from the red half of the city and in for, well, quite a lot of doom and gloom. I cried my little heart out when we lost to Sheffield Wednesday in the 1993 FA Cup semi-finals.
