However, Atletico eliminated Liverpool in their only knockout tie in the 2009-10 Europa League semi-finals, a tournament they went on to win. Atletico and Liverpool's only previous Champions League encounters came in the 2008-09 group stages - both games ended 1-1. Liverpool are winless in their last five away games against Spanish opposition in Europe, losing four (D1). Their last victory dates back to the Champions League last 16 in 2008-09, against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu (1-0).
Messi had come closest to scoring for Barca with two powerful yet inaccurate shots either side of halftime but he made no mistake when Arturo Vidal dragged the ball into his path in a slick passing move engineered by substitute Riqui Puig. The victory took Barca back to the top of La Liga on 43 points after 20 games, ahead of second-placed Real Madrid on goal difference.
John Fleck (Sheffield United) left footed shot from outside the box is blocked. Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign former Liverpool and Spain goalkeeper Pepe Reina on loan from AC Milan for the rest of the season. The 37-year-old will fly to England on Monday for a medical and to discuss personal terms but they are expected to be a formality.

Real are second in La Liga, locked on 31 points with leaders Barcelona less than two weeks before visiting their arch rivals in the 'Clasico' at the Camp Nou on Dec. Real's next opponents Espanyol are second bottom of La Liga but Zidane said there was no chance of his side resting on their laurels. They don't deserve to be where they are in the table and if we don't take the game seriously we will run into problems, there's zero chance of us relaxing," he added.
The big positive for Arsenal is that they have done comparatively well at home, and head to this game unbeaten in the last seven home league matches, five of which have yielded wins. However, in their 17 home league matches this season, Arsenal have managed just five clean sheets – not the best defensive form to take to such a match.
While this weekend’s hosts are not getting beat, they are still having to settle for a share of the spoils and are not gaining ground on their promotion rivals. Colchester have drawn each of their last four league matches and given that they have now drawn 11 times overall this season, they know that this is an area which they need to work on if they are to close the gap on those above.
Those are our two main competitions. Our hopes are after this year to qualify for the Concacaf Champions League and to continue to develop and push for an MLS championship, and hopefully in the first few years we can continually get better so that we can push to be more competitive in all those environments. What can realistically be expected this season?The pragmatism off the field Beckham and McDonough both allude to could be reflected on it, but that does not mean it will not manifest itself in attractive attacking football at some point.

An independent review of the running of CAF by Price Waterhouse Cooper (PWC), seen by Reuters last month, found "potential elements of mismanagement" and "possible abuse of power" amidst concern about widespread use of cash payments. FIFA's Samoura restructured much of CAF, including controversially exiting a lucrative television deal which has meant that none of African football’s major matches over the last month have been shown by major broadcasters.

The [SPFL] will have to accept and support the will of the members. We do believe the [SPFL] has made mistakes in this process, namely not taking into consideration any financial fallout to their member clubs and publishing of the incomplete ballot results, which has put Dundee FC in a position to receive criticism and undue torment. If what we achieved in our pause was presented by the SPFL in the first instance, we would have voted in favour of the proposal.
He has been spiky in recent days after those two setbacks with injury and defeat - but overall Mourinho has cut a happier, more relaxed figure at Spurs than he ever did at Old Trafford.

I would have no problem if Sigurdsson, Schneiderlin, Theo Walcott and Delph found new clubs and that's just for starters. Leicester CityChris Forryan - Leicestertillidie. Had Jamie Vardy's injury happened at the start of the season, I would have said we needed to strengthen up front. That's not such an urgent issue now, though, with Kelechi Iheanacho showing improved form and Ayoze Perez potentially someone we could utilise in the lone forward role.
Motherwell have won five of their nine Scottish Premiership away games this season. Meanwhile, they have lost just three Scottish Premiership away games. We feel that they are likely to aim for all three points in Thursday's fixture.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be scored in Sunday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0. Groningen ar ethe favourites to win the game, and for good reason, but they have a tricky midweek cup tie to deal with and their form has dipped in recent weeks which is why we believe Emmen can pinch a point from Sunday’s clash.
It was just a personal choice. I do regret leaving England so soon. I went back to United and my football changed. I had been a player who was expected to score goals all the time for England, which I was judged on. Sir Alex Ferguson saw that he wanted me to play well into my 30s and I needed a different position. I moved back and controlled games from midfield, sitting deep, and I was never that player for England.

Duel between leader and second placed rival in the league, where host will try to get at least one point against opponent, m which made all winning games so far. They are playing at the high level this season, and teams should not allow a lot of goals scored on this game.
Boufal, who joined from Lille in 2016, has played in 10 of Southampton's 13 league games this season. Hasenhuttl said midfielder Stuart Armstrong was ruled out with a hamstring problem he suffered against Arsenal five days ago. He is not able to play at the weekend. Maybe two weeks I think he is out and then after the Newcastle game maybe again an option," said the manager.
I did have one phone call off an agent, Bryan Robson’s old agent, he rang me while we were away at Euro 2000 to ask me if I would be interested in going to Inter Milan but that’s the only phone call I ever had. I never heard anything after that and the manager never said anything to me. I was playing at my boyhood club, I was a Manchester lad, we were winning trophies all the time. If the manager said to me that he didn’t want me I would definitely have gone if there was a big club abroad who wanted me but there was never any need to ever think about Barcelona, Real Madrid or AC Milan because I was at the biggest club in the world anyway.
Except that decision hasn’t been taken by the playing staff, it has been taken by the *billionaires* who own those clubs. The PFA has clearly not handled this adeptly – allowing your union members to be open to such a blatant bit of political misdirection during the greatest health crisis in living memory isn’t great, let’s be honest – and its statement in response to Hancock taking aim at its paying members was unsatisfactory.

They host Freiburg who are fifth in the table only six points behind the league leaders Borussia Monchengladbach. The home side are in poor form with a run of five straight defeats ended when getting a 2-2 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt. That was disappointing for them considering they led 2-0. Their home record has seen Hertha win twice in the league but lost four matches with the last three all ending in defeat.
Paper Round’s view: Darts is in some ways ideally suited to quarantine play, because there is just one player for himself, needing no additional support throughout the action. There is no desperate reason for the players to have to be in the same place. However, the atmosphere, without the army of chanting fans, could leave the whole thing feeling sterile.
Bosnia-Herzegovina have made a request to Uefa to postpone the home Euro 2020 play-off semi-final against Northern Ireland on 26 March. It was expected that the game in Zenica would be played behind closed doors because of coronavirus but the Bosnian FA now want the game to be called off.

Neither side is on the top of their game defensively at the the moment and the lack of form from the hosts overall combined with Exeter’s troubles on the road means the win-draw-win market is best avoided. Instead, we go to the goals market and given that neither side looks capable of a clean sheet in this fixture, backing both teams to score looks to be the way to go.

And if you have a target in mind to really right the ship, such as say Erling Braut Haaland, and you can get him at an outrageous price then do everything in your power to close that deal. He is the spectre that looms large over this whole sorry affair. Because now the worry for United will be that sensible young stars like Haaland will look at clubs like Borussia Dortmund as the perfect stepping stone until they go to the biggest clubs in the world like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus or… Liverpool.
It was not to be but Oxford can take real pride from the resilience they showed here and now they can turn their attention back to their top priority, namely promotion to the Championship. Manager Robinson is struggling for numbers after the departure of Shandon Baptiste and Tariqe Fosu to Brentford on transfer deadline day but there is real talent within his squad and this is a developing side. Oxford are currently eighth in League One, three points off the play-off places, and now it is back to business on that front as they travel to Peterborough United, who are third in the table, on Saturday.
Brets may have got an incredible result on Tuesday but we feel they haven't shown enough on a regular basis to warrant them winning this coming game. Lille have been extremely solid at home recently with them scoring at least two goals in six of their eight hostings this season. They have also generally been very good at the back in this time but Brest have scored in four of their last five away games, and with them netting five times in their last match we're backing them to get on the scoresheet here. However, due to Lille's awesome home form and Brest's awful away record, we're backing this one to finish 2-1 to the hosts. We're also backing Lille to score over 1.5 goals as Brest have conceded more than one in four of their last six away days.

I can have a bit of banter with the away fans now. But those years under O'Neill, where we were really close to Champions League football, the Holte End was rocking every week and they are really good memories. Leicester v Sheff Utd (18:00 BST)Leicester badly need a win to boost their hopes of a top-four finish, especially now they know fifth place won't get them into next season's Champions League after Manchester City's European ban was overturned.

Braga, on the other hand, have scored two or more goals in seven of their last nine but they have no clean sheet in the last seven away matches, and only one in the last 12 away games. We feel this one will yield a lot of goals and we will be backing an over 2.5 goals return here.
