The pair linked up throughout the match and hinted at a growing understanding between Barca’s front three. Griezmann gives the Catalans some vertical thrust. Valverde is now harnessing that. MAN OF THE MATCH Arturo Vidal (Barcelona): Griezmann, Messi and Suarez all shone for the Catalans, with the latter notching three assists and scoring himself.
With Everton currently 16th in the league, the former Real Madrid, Chelsea, PSG, AC Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Napoli manager will have his work cut out on Merseyside. Video - Lampard: Ancelotti can manage anywhere in the world00:17 The English media think Ancelotti does not have much experience of building a team, more improving already successful ones.
The theme of redemption was the thread running through the 2014 World Cup in Brazil - the chance to heal a wound that had scarred a sporting nation for 64 years. Despite all their success, Brazil had never fully recovered from the loss to Uruguay in their own iconic Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro in the 1950 final. With the tournament's return, this was the summer when football was going to dance to the samba beat with a sixth World Cup triumph - but, significantly, this one would be won in front of Brazil's own fans in their own football temple.
When you hear people having a go at football because the Premier League are having meetings. Just because football is a game. Sixteen of the 20 Premier League teams have nine games to play this season, with four having 10 left. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden spoke to Premier League bosses this week and signalled the government was content for them to start contingency planning. But nothing will be taken forward without the green light from the government, in accordance with medical advice.
In addition a number of other proposals are also under discussion with all the major stakeholders, including getting rid of FA Cup replays and the introduction of 'non-exclusive' FA Cup weekends before the sixth round. The FA has already conceded that the fact there will be no non-league football in August, when the cup actually starts, may mean fewer participants. And there could also be major changes to the EFL Cup if clubs involved in European competition are to take part.
Riot police came onto the field and led the fan away along with several others who had managed to get past the perspex barriers surrounding the pitch. Pictures showed other Figueirense fans fighting among themselves on the terraces while several barriers were smashed. Brazilian media said that the trouble started when Bruno Silva was substituted, insulted by Figueirense fans and responded with a gestures as he left the pitch.
His previous seven visits to Newcastle in the league with Chelsea and Manchester United had resulted in three draws and four defeats. They were unchanged from the side who beat Arsenal on Sunday, with Serge Aurier starting just two days after his younger brother Christopher was shot dead. The Ivory Coast right-back will return to France on Thursday to see his mother. Spurs were second best until the drinks break with Mourinho reshuffling to a 4-2-3-1 from 4-4-2 and it immediately paid dividends.
New Zealand's government implemented a four-week national lockdown on March 25, with people confined to their homes and only allowed to travel for essential services such as buying groceries or to receive medical care. NZF cancelled their semi-professional national league in mid-March with 13 games remaining in its season.
Even at home, Stuttgart have found it tough to get results of late, losing two of their last three. Fortunately, when they were last in action at Mercedes-Benz Arena, they recorded a pleasing 3-1 win over Dresden. They've also won five out of seven at home.
Arsenal can’t afford to dally, to pussyfoot around or give Freddie Ljungberg a chance. He may be a favourite with Arsenal fans as a player but to manage Arsenal you need a bit more about you and a bit more experience. There are good managers out there. Go after somebody. Be proactive. Welcome to a new week It's Monday morning but there's still one instalment of the weekend's Premier League action, a huge London derby at the London Stadium as beleaguered Arsenal take on beleaguered West Ham.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds accumulated 99 points, one better than their 1978-79 total - adjusted to three points for a win - and 18 above runners-up Manchester City. They also matched the Premier League record for wins in a season (level with City's 32 in 2017-18 and 2018-19) but fell just short of City's biggest winning margin of 19 points in 2017-18. Dwight Gayle put Newcastle ahead after 25 seconds from Jonjo Shelvey's free-kick, the fastest goal ever scored on a Premier League final day.
Does Ancelotti not fancy the task of revitalising Arsenal? Are his wage demands beyond affordable? Have talks already broken down? The answers to the above are unknown, but having not played for Arsenal in the past, you get the impression Ancelotti misses one key, albeit baffling, requirement of becoming the club’s next head coach.
Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad has become one of the most entertaining and watchable La Liga match-ups in recent years and it's easy to see why, with a whopping 67 goals netted in the last 15 encounters between the sides. Los Blancos have largely had the better of things during that period, with 11 wins to Sociedad's three. But two of those Sociedad successes came last season, including a tremendous 0-2 triumph at the Bernabeu. Can Imanol Alguacil's side repeat the dose this time around, or will Madrid re-affirm their dominance in the head to head?
It had been scheduled for May 18. Italian coaches union slam Serie A wage cut plans The head of the Italian coaches union has hit out at Serie A plans to cut wages by a sixth if the league can be resumed, or a third if it cannot pick up from its March 9 suspension. The declaration of the Serie A League seems improvised to us because we still don't know what will happen to the championships," Renzo Ulivieri said in a statement.

For me, he was an example of what football is. Everything he did left you open-mouthed. The way he dribbled, the way he ran, the way he scored, he was a true phenomenon. His nickname was El Fenomeno so Zlatan is not exactly reinventing the wheel, here, to be fair. Now Ibrahimovic chats a lot of breeze.

Both teams have been up and down form-wise, which is why they are where they are in the table, but with home advantage I'd back QPR to get through.

Meanwhile, after a terrible performance in a 0-0 home draw against already relegated Avai, Cruzeiro come into this fixture under massive pressure. Indeed, Raposa have been terrible for most of the season and with 5 games left to run, find themselves at real risk of being relegated to Serie B, currently stationed just 1 point above the drop zone.

Paris have been slightly below their usual level away from home this season, but they always excel against Monaco and that’s exactly what we’re backing here. Monaco have 18 goals in their last seven games though, so we expect them to maim the champions here. Both teams have scored in each of Monaco’s last seven home games and in four of Paris’ last five away games so we’re also backing that market in this one. We’re still predicting a heavy PSG win despite Monaco’s home form though. 3-1 to PSG.
It is something that is very difficult for us because we have no time to do it. Kane was not the only injury suffered by Spurs on Wednesday. Mourinho has previously expressed his frustration at Tanguy Ndombele not being available to play but on this occasion was frustrated as he left the field after 25 minutes.
The result was a stacked draw that included sides of the ilk of Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid in the unseeded side of the draw. The upshot were tough encounters for English clubs. Liverpool and Manchester City were handed arduous matches against Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid despite winning their groups, while Chelsea, in a repeat of the 2012 final, face off against Bayern Munich.
Bournemouth have a really unimpressive run ahead of this game, and especially away from home. They have three straight away losses, and have failed to score in seven of the last 10 away matches. Their recent matches are characterized by trailing at half time, after which they go on to lose. They have never beaten Sheffield, and they face Sheffield who are on the back of straight wins with clean sheets and with a fairly good run at home. Back Sheffield to win here.
Fernandes: He started slowly but by the end of the match was running the show for Manchester United again. There was so much about Bruno Fernandes' game that I liked against Crystal Palace but the ball through the legs of Luka Milivojevic which set up the goal for Anthony Martial was just wonderful. Since his arrival from Sporting Lisbon the Portugal international has become a star at United. It's hard to fathom why Fernandes' arrival has transformed the performances of so many players.
Hosts only managed a 1-1 draw at home and played awful defending a few days ago away from home at Port MTI FC conceding 4 goals from which 2 goals came after corner kicks one goal after a set piece as well and one goal from the penalty spot as their keeper made a really stupid foul on the striker, so really poor defending and poor morale coming into this one after such a big loss, while the guests are with great morale.
TOP HEADLINES The Warm-Up: Just cancel football MONDAY'S STORIES 10:00 - Cavani set for Atleti move? Reports across the continent claim that Edinson Cavani is set to move to Atletico Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain. The Uruguayan will become a free agent in the summer and it is yet to be revealed whether he will move in January or at the end of the season, but he is said to have signed a three-year contract with the Spanish capital club.
Burnley appealed in vain for a penalty, arguing that Adam Smith had handled a Dwight McNeil cross -- the resulting counter-attack ended with Callum Wilson feeding Harry Wilson who clipped the ball past goalkeeper Nick Pope. But VAR ruled that Smith had indeed handled -- cancelling out the Bournemouth goal and awarding Burnley a penalty which Jay Rodriguez converted to make it 2-0 after 61 minutes when moments earlier the score had stood at 1-1.
Guardiola added: "On 13 July we will know the resolution, hopefully, for the club - all the workers, players and everyone here, staff - to try to continue growing up as a club in the next years. City are still in this season's delayed Champions League and hold a 2-1 lead over Real Madrid after the first leg of their last-16 tie at the Bernabeu.
He hacked down Messi and the away side have shot themselves in the foot here. What a foolish thing to do. GOAL! Barcelona 1-0 Granada: At long, long last Barcelona have taken the lead! The Setien era is up and running at the Camp Nou! Puig won the ball high up the pitch, there was then a wonderful passing move between Busquets, Vidal and Messi and the former passed into the back of the net.
