PSG are looking like the real deal Could this be the year PSG's superstars go all the way?Of course, we have been here before. Time and time again. Paris St-Germain can look awesome in the knockout stages, and then the first leg of a knockout game - before capitulating in the second leg when the pressure is on. Last season they topped a group with eventual winners Liverpool. The season before they finished above Bayern Munich.
The signs for the long-suffering support were alarming, and things soon came to a head inside the dressing room. Media playback is not supported on this device Larsson scores as Celtic stop the 10 "Four or five weeks into the season, Wim had a meeting with the players because there had been a bit of confusion about what he wanted," Gould says. It was things like style of play, set-up, are we going to play three at the back? "But once that clarity had been established, the lads quickly believed in what Wim and Murdo were trying to bring to the group.
Since then, Madrid have signed five Brazilian forwards, looking for another star who can terrify defences across Europe - but it is yet to really work. The first was Robinho. A number of clubs across Europe had chased him after some stunning performances for Santos as a teenager, but it was Madrid who locked down his signature after meeting a buy-out clause in July 2005 and he scored 35 goals in 137 games for the club.
Nottingham have scored two or more goals in three of their last five Championship matches at home.

The visitors had already had a goal ruled out by the video assistant referee (VAR) when McBurnie exploited indecision in the Brighton defence to take control of a long ball and lash home the winner midway through the first half.

Fulham have the best home record in the Championship. Fulham have won their last two home league games without conceding. Brentford have only won one of their last five away league matches. Fulham begin the weekend in third place in the Championship, six points behind the final automatic promotion spot.
Liverpool’s second seven minutes into the second half, which effectively put the game to bed, was sublime in the extreme, as Salah sumptuously set up Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to score his seventh goal of the season. Trent Alexander-Arnold did almost score a comical own goal to give West Ham a lifeline, but Liverpool otherwise strolled to the victory which takes their points tally to a colossal 70, before the end of January, while the Hammers remain in trouble down in 17th.
Koeman's Barcelona clause not affected by Euro 2020 delay The one-year delay to the start of Euro 2020 will not affect the clause in Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman's contract that says he can take the Barcelona manager's job after the tournament if it becomes available. The Euros were meant to take place from June 12 until July 12 but will now run from June 11 to July 11 next year after UEFA stepped in and postponed the tournament in response to the coronavirus crisis.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said his side went into half-time of Sunday's remarkable 4-1 win over Leicester with their survival hopes "as bleak as they could be". The Cherries were six points from safety in the as-it-stands table with just nine points remaining after a toothless 45 minutes which saw Jamie Vardy's goal give Leicester the lead and star defender Nathan Ake come off injured. But an incredible two-minute spell saw Howe's side take the lead and Leicester go down to 10 men, with striker Dominic Solanke finally scoring his first league goal for the club.
Wow! Belarus launches the second division, or to be more precise, the “first league” tournament, that tournament from where three teams got into the big league last year, rush through butt games from the day pro, as well as Smolevichi and Belching from the first two places, but the fourth place was the locomotive, which scored as many points as the rush, but was not able to take third place for additional indicators, can you imagine how sad it was? Well, this is a new season, and it’s not a fact that now the Gomel locomotive will dominate as well as last year, maybe now the chemist has become more rural? Therefore, I will not risk it and I’ll play just the total less for the first game of the tour.

On the night, there was little to suggest that they were capable of that. Not only have their West Lothian rivals been formidable at home but the Paisley side have also been pretty terrible on the road. Goodwin's side may have claimed a point at McDiarmid Park and Easter Road in recent weeks, but that's about it. And, in their 13 away games in the Premiership, they've picked up just five points from a possible 39.

THE YOUNGSTERS It’s 2017. Jadon Sancho and Phil Foden, fresh from helping Manchester City reached the FA Youth Cup final, are being heralded as generational talents after guiding England to the Under-17 World Cup. That’s where their paths diverge. While Sancho was recalled early from that tournament in India to start a new life at Borussia Dortmund, going on to become Europe’s most in-demand winger after three sensational seasons, Foden has chalked up the minutes as an occasional substitute for City.

The period from the last game of this season to the first game of the next one is going to be the most important summer of his managerial career, wherever he has been. If Spurs don't get things right in the transfer market, then Jose will not be shy about letting them know. In the meantime, Tottenham are trying to stay in this year's Champions League and qualify for the next one, but at the moment you can see why they are losing so many games.
That's evident from all the fans who sit around me in the Shed End. If we win the FA Cup and finish fourth, it would be an absolutely fantastic season. Fellow fan Rod Hood added: "I had no expectations for anything this season. I'd have been happy with relegation because I believe we could have come back from that.
Eintracht Braunschweig will host Meppen for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be a very interesting match. Also, I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. Hosts probably are favorites on the home field. However, this will be not easy task. Braunschweig is one of the ambitious teams in this campaign. True, they have highly variable results. In last game Braunschweig played in a 0-0 draw with Mannheim. Also, we have Meppen who's is very average team in this season. However, the visitors are in solid shape. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. In my opinion, the visitors will try to remain unbeaten. My pick - Meppen to win.
It felt like Magpies boss Steve Bruce was making progress with his results before Christmas, but now it feels like this is a period he just needs to get through, until his better players are fit again. Wolves also suffered a couple of defeats over Christmas but I don't see any cause for concern - they have got so much quality in their squad. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Hugh's prediction: 2-0Matthew's prediction: 2-1 Tottenham v Liverpool (17:30 GMT)When I think of this fixture, I think of Dejan Lovren's terrible day at Wembley in 2017 when Harry Kane took him apart.
All four teams in the group can still qualify with the other game on Thursday seeing leaders Rangers host third placed Young Boys. Porto have seven points from five games and a win will take them into the knock-out rounds. A draw would only be good enough if Young Boys don't win in Scotland. The Portuguese side have earned four points from their two home games and the reverse fixture against Feyenoord saw them lose 2-0.
How right he was. Almiron almost lifted the roof off St James' Park when the moment finally came. An early Christmas present for a hugely-popular figure in Newcastle.

But most of the time it was just one of them challenging us," Solskjaer said. Finishing third wasn't normal. Now there are at least four, maybe five teams that can win the league and the cups. For me, every time you see anyone else lift the trophy, it hurts. I reckon that's the feeling for everyone associated with Manchester United. Lawro's FA Cup & Premier League predictionsUnited have improved significantly since the signing of Bruno Fernandes in January and are currently on a 13-match unbeaten run.

Xanthi will host Panaitolikos for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts have better team than their opponent. Xanthi is very average in this season. They are currently on the 7th place with 19 points. However, the hosts have fallen in their shape. They have 4 losses in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Panaitolikos who's is worst team in this campaign. Visitors have low potential in attack. They have a very vulnerable defense. Of course, the visitors have a very difficult task. Nevertheless, I think, they have a real chance to break the poor series. They will try to fight for at least one point. My pick - Panaitolikos to win.
