Now, the Austrian underdogs travel to Holland again to take on AZ Alkmaar in the first of their round-of-32 ties. Alkmaar made it this far by finishing second in a group topped by Manchester United. Their endeavours were less eye-catching but it's been a good season for the Dutch side. Challenging Ajax for the title, Alkmaar are on course to qualify for the Champions League qualifiers.
But we lost our four captains: [Laurent] Koscielny, [Petr] Cech, [Aaron] Ramsey and [Nacho] Monreal. They were personalities that we missed this season to stay on the right track, and some stars did not have a good attitude and asked for more than what they were giving back. Taking all of that into account, we needed time to succeed with our transition to a new Arsenal, which is what I wanted.
The exchange came with Serie A, like football around the rest of the world, at a standstill because of the coronavirus pandemic. Italy is Europe's worst-affected country with 10,779 deaths and a total of 97,689 confirmed cases. In an interview with the Rome-based newspaper La Repubblica on Sunday, Spadafora said that sport was not just about football and that he would propose spending €400m to develop grass roots sport around the country.
Jack is getting better and better. He is a top player and when you have top players you get performances like that at Old Trafford. I thought he was good at Manchester City and we missed him against Liverpool. Tellingly, Smith also said that Grealish "wouldn't sleep tonight" after a costly miss shortly before Manchester United went 2-1 ahead. In that regard it shows that complacency is not an issue for a player who struggled with professionalism earlier in his career.

The match had come alive after a poor first half in which Ayew had wasted the best chance when he scuffed wide from close range. Victory was Palace's first in four Premier League games and lifted them into the top half of the table while West Ham remain hovering just above the relegation zone.

Speaking in Amsterdam this week, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said: "One centimetre offside is not offside because that is not the meaning of the rule. The problem, of course, is that Ceferin is wrong -- one centimetre offside is offside. What Ceferin appeared to be suggesting was that such precision is not in the spirit of the offside law.
The game, which SPAL won 1-0, eventually went ahead 75 minutes later than scheduled, but sparked a furious debate. The players’ union (AIC) called for the suspension of the league, describing continuing as “dangerous” for players, but Serie A organisers accused the union of “contravening what was in the Government decree”, which allowed games to be played in empty stadiums.
FC Copenhagen's Michael Santos has been given a three-match ban by Uefa for "assaulting another person" during his side's Europa League win over Celtic. Santos and a Copenhagen staff member were charged by Police Scotland in connection with an alleged assault on an officer as his side celebrated their second goal in the 3-1 win in Glasgow in February. The attacker reportedly pushed over a police officer during the Danish side's celebrations in their 4-2 aggregate win in the last-16 tie.
FINGER POINTING Chris Wilder, Manager of Sheffield UnitedGetty Images Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder, speaking on the BBC's Football Focus programme on Saturday, said it was disappointing that people were using the crisis to point fingers. It's always disappointing when some people are deflecting and finger pointing at this time when people are seriously ill and dying," he said.
Slutsk host the current champions of the Belarusian premier league, dinamo brest. In my opinion there is big quality difference between these two teams. Slutsk are average team with low expectations, while on the other side we have dinamo brest team that will try to win the league. However this season started very weird, slutsk managed to win 3 points in their first match, while surprisingly dinamo brest earned a draw at their own stadium. I think this time they will win, for that reason I decides to bet on Dinamo Brest to win by 2 goals difference. Good luck.
When you come on in the 93rd minute, save three spot-kicks and score the winning penalty. Ajax youth team goalkeeper Daan Reiziger. With Ajax drawing 0-0 with Atletico Madrid in their Uefa Youth League last-16 tie, boss John Heitinga needed a super-sub. Step forward Reiziger. The 18-year-old made three diving saves in an epic 16-penalty shootout before dispatching the winner into the top corner to clinch a spot in the quarter-finals, where Red Star Belgrade or FC Midtjylland await.
Much like the shirt's split panels, the design divided opinion back in the day. But it was the first of its kind - Coventry and Southampton were among the clubs who later wore similar designs. Netherlands 1988 One of the most sought-after shirts of all time. It's safe to say the Netherlands looked the part as they won the European Championship for the first time. Colombia 1990 Colombia always have great kits and they arrived at the 1990 World Cup after a 28-year hiatus from the competition with this absolute belter.
This will be one of the most interesting matches today in Austrian Second league and duel where I hope that we can see plenty of goals, what is very real to expect, but we will see what will happen. For me is very interesting fact that Amstetten and on the other side Grazer AK are teams who are playing in last ten matches, both of them, every time with two or more goals and often and with three or more goals. I believe it will be similar and tonight so my option here will be over 2,75 what is very real.
So he still needs to work on his side's style of play, but of course getting a result this way still has plenty of positives. Mourinho has been talking a lot about how his players lack confidence, which he probably did not expect when he arrived at the club. Well, getting through games like this one will give the players lots of belief, and we saw some other important signs too. Mourinho has sorted out Christian Eriksen's situation, by selling him to Inter, while Jan Vertonghen, another player whose future is uncertain because he is out of the contract at the end of the season, was on the bench.
in this game I expect goals because both teams should be very motivated to win this game,Lincoln because they are good at home with 9 wins this season but now they are in horrible shape and after 4 defeats in a row they are very close to the relegation zone but versus a team with 9 defeats on the road they should score some goals, on the other hand,Milton is still trying to get away from relegation zone and now they are in very good shape and after 11 games without a victory on the road they could win tonight but for that they need to score at least 2 goals!
Mr Abramovich will be covering the costs of providing the accommodation. Ceferin rejects 'fake news' that Liverpool will be handed title UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin hit out at the 'fake news' that would have seen Liverpool handed the Premier League title amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Premier League and other top-flight European football leagues have been told by UEFA that they want the current season finished by June 30 “I’ve seen and heard some again fake news that Uefa will advise leagues to finish the championships now and decide that the winners are the ones who are number one now,” Ceferin said.
But after a check for possible violent conduct by the video-assisted officials, Lo Celso escaped without censure. Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, who on Monday criticised a VAR decision not to send off Manchester United's England defender Harry Maguire for planting his foot in the groin of Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi, held his head in disbelief.

Jones has been making clear to Klopp that he feels ready for the first team and admitted he had found it hard to feature only infrequently for the Premier League leaders and European champions. It’s been frustrating at times being on the bench and then getting a taste on the pitch and then being back on the bench," he said.
Chelsea have been named winners of the Women's Super League title on a points-per-game ratio, while Liverpool have been relegated. When the season was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic in March, Chelsea were one point behind leaders Manchester City with a game in hand. Aston Villa, who were top of the Championship, will replace the WSL's bottom club Liverpool next season. The Reds said they are "disappointed" with how the season has been concluded.
Chelsea transfer ban appeal rejected Chelsea target Chalov ahead of transfer ban review - Paper Round Chelsea eye Neres if appeal over transfer ban is successful The punishment was initially handed down by FIFA after the west Londoners were found to have breached regulations with regards to the international transfer and registration of players under 18.
They have been part of the long-term technical plan [manager] Mikel [Arteta] and I have developed. They bring the right balance to our squad. Brazil centre-back Luiz, 33, joined the club from Chelsea last year but was sent off during Arsenal's return to Premier League action, a 3-0 defeat at Manchester City, last week. David is a really important player for us. He has played most of our matches this season and has been important for the team," added Edu.
Nonetheless, Villarreal remain extremely reliable at home, where they have won three and drawn three from six outings this term. They may have expected more than a 0-0 stalemate against Athletic Bilbao two starts ago, but that result was no disgrace considering how defensively strong Los Leones are.
The injury rules the influential midfielder out of Monday's Premier League home game against relegation-threatened West Ham United, a match in which the runaway league leaders will be desperate "to put things right", the German added. It's not that bad, but he will be out I think for three weeks or so, which is not cool but how we see it is we were still lucky and that's it," Klopp told a news conference.
What a goal it was. Wright: "There was outrage with what happened before the tournament. People do not understand how important it is for people to bond. The way England reacted brought that team together even more. Beckham sees red 1998 World Cup in FranceDavid Beckham had been England's hero in their crucial group win over Colombia. And England and Beckham appeared to have the measure of Argentina in their second round match, until a moment of madness two minutes after half-time.
A 13-year-old Clarets supporter was ejected from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during the home side’s 5-0 victory, during which South Korean Son scored a contender for goal of the season with a stunning solo effort that started on the edge of his own area.

Atletico Madrid finished a relatively distant 2nd to Barcelona last season, and they are already six points behind the Catalan giants after losing 0-1 when the teams met at Wanda Metropolitano last Sunday night.
sitting seventh in the table, Mirandes is just behind the playoffs, Numancia slipped to 16th place after a bad run before the break and is only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone, but I expect a close game with a draw at the End. A very close match is expected between these two teams in this Castilian derby. I think that both teams with one point will confirm to maintain their ambitions of still being able to play in the second league. In addition, the two previous matches they have played against each other was draw. So I think that on this third occasion, the defensive characteristics of both teams can be repeated.
Challenge tomorrow in Serie A between Bologna and Parma. The hosts have lost all their last three games, the most interesting thing though: more than 2.5 goals have been scored in 10 of their last 11 home games. Especially due to the weak defense: in fact, Bologna has always suffered at least one goal in all its last 7 games. In the last 3 games the goals conceded were always at least 2. Parma failed to win in 13 of their last 14 away games. Even though in the last 3 Parma matches less than 2.5 goals have been scored my prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals.
Shahin Bushehr will host Sanat Naft for this fixture of the league. I think, the hosts have a very difficult task. Of course, they want to win. However, Shahin Bushehr is worst team in the league. Hosts have low potential in attack. They have a very vulnerable defense. True, the hosts are undefeated in their last 4 matches - 4 draws in a row. In any case, they are not convincing team. Also, we have Sanat Naft who's is very average team in this season. However, the visitors have better team than their opponent. They have a chance to reach for one of the top four places in the table. My pick - Sanat Naft to win.
It's a quandary. They would have a case, as far as I can see, to take this course of action and argue it with Uefa. I suspect that they may be more comfortable doing it with Uefa's acquiescence. Closed-door games won't help'While the focus has primarily been on either finishing the season or calling it now, the notion of playing games behind closed doors has also been floated. On Friday, Uefa lifted a ban on showing games at 15:00 on a Saturday live on TV in England and Scotland in what is seen as moves towards restarting some domestic competitions in the UK without supporters.
Why was he on the bench? Well, United have got Liverpool on Sunday and his troubled back needed a rest. Why did he come on? Well, without him United are pure, undiluted bobbins. The Warm-Up’s best wishes are with you, Marcus. Future FA Cup television broadcasts need you. Tidying up the Cup Not on television, much to the pained amusement of BT Sport’s commentary team at Old Trafford, was Carlisle United against Cardiff City.
The Seagulls are six points above the bottom three but have a much better goal difference. Brighton have seven games to play but three are against sides currently in the top five. Since the season resumed, Brighton have beaten Arsenal at home and drew at Leicester, so their form is certainly not that of a team that's going to be relegated.
Torpedo is this season really one of the most positive surprises in league and this team is playing very good football at the start of season. I was watched almost all their duels and they are played on good level. Even against first favorite for the title, BATE Borisov, as a guests, they are played very good, in defense firstly and won one point in that duel, 0-0. Ruh Brest is not so strong team and for me, they are not have big chances to make surprise in this duel. We will see what will happen but home team will win.

I got a really good hand to put it over the bar but turned around to see it go in. Their second came too soon after Archie scored his famous goal. You were happy to win the game, but we were out on goal difference. The dressing room wasn't celebrating, it was just a relief that we'd shown people we could play. There was an awful lot of regret. The disappointment was the worst in all of my career. No place like homeWe had three days before we flew home.
Ruh Brest managed to beat Dinamo Minsk with 1:0 last weekend. It was a great result for them. The victory was secured in the first half thanks to the lone goal scored by Kovtun. Coach Sednev has no important missing players for this match. Energetyk BDU also won in the first round. They managed to beat BATE Borisov with 3:1. Jasur Yaxshiboev scored two goals, while Dusan Bakic scored the third goal in the finish of the match.
Joe Jordan and Davie Hay played in all three matches in West Germany. They talk us through the campaign. Rowing boats & sinking the Auld EnemyPreparations were eye opening, to say the least. After mixed results in the Home Internationals, Scotland had warm-up matches in Belgium and Norway. Then there was the incident in Largs. Manager Willie Ormond allowed the players go for a night out in the coastal town and, in the early hours, winger Jimmy Johnstone decided to commandeer a rowing boat.
I still vividly remember sitting on the team bus after the game. Everybody was deflated, they knew it was an opportunity missed to really enjoy the next week," says Gould. To win it and then go back to Parkhead with people relaxed would have been a far better feeling. How do you recover from such a demoralising blow, while trying to prepare for a seismic match the following Saturday?"We probably needed a blowout," adds Gould.
Chievo vs Venezia and this game we have seen that we are going to give it a double chance to win the home team r a draw in the final scores as this prediction has being based on the last games that this two teams have played together as the home team have won many games as compared to the away team and so it makes us to be very sure with this prediction and also the home team have a very strong defense and with this defense we can say that the away team will not be able to win this game
The hosts should be hopeful of getting something from this game. After all, Derby County are unbeaten in their last seven home league matches against Charlton (W4 D3) since a 2-0 defeat in February 1999. On top of that, Charlton haven't completed a league double over Derby since the 1983-84 campaign. However, after winning five consecutive home league games between September and November, Derby have failed to win each of their last three on home soil (D2 L1). Given that form, we expect these two to share a 1-1 draw this week.
Overall, their home form has been solid this season, with Ajax being the only team to oust them at Mestalla across both competitions. Valencia have won three and drawn four in front of their own supporters in La Liga, so they rate as the most likely winners in this Saturday's contest, considering Villarreal have lost three of their last four and four of their last five games on the road.
The Sun claim there is mounting unrest towards the Portuguese manager over his old-school tactics and "lower league" training sessions. There is also concern over his treatment of Tanguy Ndombele, who joined Spurs for a record £65 million in the summer. From the report: "Senior players believe the team has regressed under Mourinho and his long-ball tactics are holding them back.
Odds are quite delicious to be taking for the over 2.5 goals to be scored in this one as earlier this season when they played at Nea Salamis, AEL lost the game with 3-2 in the end this while last season at home they met twice both times in the league just that once during the normal season when AEL won 3-2 and second game in the Championship group when AEL won once more but scoring more goals even with 5-2 in the end so as you can see really high scoring games between them.
Liverpool require two wins to secure their first English top flight title in 30 years and former boss Kenny Dalglish said it would be a travesty if the season is cancelled. That wouldn't be fair and any person with football at heart would admit that would be totally out of order," Dalglish wrote in his column for The Sunday Post newspaper.
