Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, on the penalty awarded to Manchester United: "I can 100% see that [Aston Villa manager] Dean Smith is struggling to accept what happened last night. It should just be the right decision. What I don't understand is overruling is so complicated that it must be a clear and obvious mistake. It's difficult but I didn't think last night was too difficult. It's obviously not good.
The charity, which aims to empower young people, has a mentoring programme in partnership with six West Midlands football clubs. Julia Regis, Cyrille's widow, says mentoring was "part of his job that he loved most". Giving back was an inherent part of his character," she says. He was always active within his community and saw it as his responsibility to use the platform he had to inspire, encourage and help others.
Otherwise, his poorest start to a campaign was when he collected 37 points after 16 games in 2011-12. That was his fourth and final season with Barcelona. Those are the only two seasons to date in which Guardiola has not won the league title as an active manager, and it's looking increasingly likely he will miss out again come May next year. Granted, you can never say never in football. Saturday's derby defeat by rivals United was also the first time under the 48-year-old that City have lost two home league games in a season.
I have just ignore the odds which are favoring the home team and choose the visitors to collect all the points so as to get four consecutive wins against Isloch fc, the hosts last won in 2016 at this venue since that win they didn't find a win against Slutsk fc. The hosts have started this season in a better form that give them 3rd place in the league table with accumulation of 6 points and they have won their last home game against Neman Grodno by one goal to nothing.
Forest captain Watson was fortunate not to concede a penalty on 21 minutes, knocking Pritchard down as he skipped into the box. A well-worked free-kick routine on the edge of the area just before the half-hour mark led to Huddersfield's best first-half chance, only for Ameobi to intervene by hacking Grant's shot over the bar. Despite the Terriers looking the more industrious for long periods of the first half, it was the Reds that took the lead - Grabban showing brilliant technique with a close-range volley after being picked out by Worrall at the far post.
Inter were eliminated from the Champions League on Tuesday, losing 2-1 to a young Barcelona team to finish third in their group behind the Spanish giants and Borussia Dortmund. In the letter, a Bologna fan said that he "enjoyed seeing the great Inter outclassed by Barcelona B", who had shown Inter's "worn-out" coach how to play football. The fan added that although Conte has won a lot of games in his career, he has "never shown a good game" and despite spending more than 150 million euros (£125m), Inter could not beat Slavia Prague and lost to Dortmund in the Champions League.
Hi! Charlton Athletic host Sheffield Wednesday in an EFL Championship. Charlton are coming off a 2-1 defeat at Luton Town in their previous Championship clash. They still are with no wins in their last eight matches. Too many draw games, don't let them to reach that out. Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday were held to a 1-1 home draw by Birmingham in their last Championship fixture. Although they are winless in their last five fixtures too. Where's the points for both teams? It's nice opportunity to bet exactly on the same situation, what teams likes to do the best - making DRAWS :) Why not? Let's keep for that in this clash! Good game! :)
Wilder is clearly at ease in a tracksuit on the touchline. He may have spent most of the night with his hands in his pockets but he was a constant presence on the edge of his technical area and when there was a point to be made - to a player, one of his coaching staff or fourth official Simon Hooper - he was firm in making it. Moyes has over 500 more Premier League games behind him than Wilder but he was 24 games without a win away at a top eight club prior to kick-off and until Felipe Anderson strode through just before the break, there was little to indicate his side were capable of breaking that run.

They bid to widen that gap with a home game against Everton who are up to 11th in the table and six points ahead of their opponents. The Hammers have won one and lost one in the Premier League since the return of David Moyes (a former Everton mamager) to the club. They beat Bournemouth 4-0 at home but lost 1-0 at Sheffield United last weekend.
Nurnberg will host Erzgebirge Aue for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Aue is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 6th place with 37 points. However, Are is not very good team away from home. I think, visitors will have not be an easy task. On the other hand Nurnberg have advantage at home stadium. However, the hosts are in poor shape. Nurnberg are currently on the 15th place with 29 points. They have two consecutive losses. So, I expect another one tough match for both sides. My pick - draw.
Valverde also questioned the merits of opening the competition up to Atletico and Real Madrid, who ended last season empty handed. Barca and Valencia qualify for the Super Cup as league and cup winners respectively, while Atletico earned one of the new berths due to coming second in La Liga. The last spot was intended for the cup runners-up but as Barca had already qualified, Real took the vacant place due to their superior cup record over Real Betis, last year's other losing semi-finalists.
While the hosts have been looking very sturdy at home, Hamburg have struggled to hit their stride on the road this season. They started the campaign by winning each of their first two traveling matches, but they title hopefuls have since gone massively off the boil on their travels.
Lots of kids grow up wanting to be a footballer or a rockstar - Dani Osvaldo gets to do both. The Argentina-born Italian striker - which is quite a decent footballing heritage, to be fair - quit football four years ago. Since then he's been focussing on his band, Barrio Viejo (Old Town). He also featured in Italy's version of Strictly Come Dancing - Ballando con le Stelle - in 2019 and finished a respectable third.
Watford have signed 21-year-old French midfielder Pape Gueye on a five-year deal from Ligue 2 side Le Havre. Gueye's contract with Watford will be effective from 1 July. His deal with Le Havre expires in the summer but the second division was cancelled on Tuesday, when the French prime minister banned all sporting events until at least September. Watford say an "official pre-contract agreement has already been lodged" for the French youth international.

The home team is not in good form. They have lost their last 2 matches and coming from an away defeat against Olimpia Grudziadz by 2-1 goals. They sit on 12 spot on the table and managed 23 points from 19 matches. Their home form is also average. They have won 3 lost 3 and drawn 3 in their 9 home matches.
The Frenchman joined from Arsenal on an 18-month deal in January 2018. Giroud featured in 27 league matches last term - 20 as substitute - and signed a new contract in May until the end of this season. However, Tammy Abraham has established himself as Chelsea's leading striker this term, the England striker scoring 12 league goals. Giroud continues to feature in international football, scoring four times in six appearances for France this season, and is thought to be anxious to secure regular club football in order to stay in the plans of coach Didier Deschamps.
Fifa has also established a working group to tackle the issues facing football as a result of the pandemic. The group will look at the international fixture calendar, and issues around player contracts. Player contracts typically expire on 30 June but many leagues, if resumed, look likely to continue beyond that date. We could have finished our season'Reacting to the news, Forest Green Rovers owner Dale Vince said suspending all professional matches on 13 March was a "mistake" because the virus had "barely impacted the country" by that stage.

The Red Devils were desperate to bring in a replacement for the injured Marcus Rashford in January and ended up signing Odion Ighalo on loan until the end of the season from Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua. United thought about using Brighton's Murray, who has started just once in the Premier League since September, as a short-term replacement.
There was no need for me to go and get involved up front as we had such good attackers. Hopefully you could get the ball to these players who could win you games of football. I only had one phone call about leaving'Scholes played his whole career at Old Trafford in two spells - coming out of a short-lived retirement to win a final Premier League. But could he have gone to the San Siro?I was never ever made aware of any team coming in for me.
Celtic recovered from losing an early Kilmarnock goal to win handsomely and march 12 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership. With Rangers drawing at St Johnstone, Neil Lennon's men took advantage as they bid to win a ninth title in a row. Eamonn Brophy's penalty had initially rocked Celtic but Kristoffer Ajer and Odsonne Edouard had the hosts ahead. Leigh Griffiths added a third shortly after Kilmarnock were reduced to 10 men following Alan Power's second yellow.

'Correct Score' punters can try a 2-0 win for the hosts. As tough as Napoli are to get at, they've not set the world alight offensively in this group, so plumping for an overly high-scoring win doesn't really appeal. Napoli will be keen to keep things tight, while they average 1.4 goals for per game, so a solid, but ultimately low-scoring win for the hosts appears to be the way to go.
Atalanta were furious when Rafael Toloi appeared to be pulled down by Martinez inside the box as he tried to tap the ball home from close range, but the referee ignored the appeals and there was no Video Assistant Referee (VAR) intervention. Replays suggested Martinez had intentionally grabbed the defender’s leg to trip him, and Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was not happy with the decision after the game.

The club filed an appeal with CAS in June in a bid to be able to recruit in the January transfer window, and Lampard was asked at a news conference when a decision could be expected. Very soon, I believe. Days, I think," he replied. I haven't heard any more, so I would wait and reserve judgement (on Chelsea's plans for January) until we get the judgement and see where we want to go from there.
Nikola Katic's towering header won a controversial Old Firm derby for Rangers and cut the gap to Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership to two points with a game in hand at the winter break. Steven Gerrard's side - who had Alfredo Morelos sent off for diving in stoppage time - went in front at Celtic Park through Ryan Kent, just after Ryan Christie had a penalty saved. But the lead lasted just six minutes as Callum McGregor's strike deflected off Odsonne Edouard's arm to equalise.
The winner of this wild card match will play the 49ers in the Divisional play-offs, so they face a tough task there. Seattle had an 11-5 regular season record and were 8-4 against NFC teams. They are through to the play-offs for the seventh time in eight seasons but didn't end the season with as impressive a record as once looked likely.
Boli Bolingoli's initial cross was just too high for Edouard but James Forrest returned the ball into his path and he gratefully swept it past the substitute goalkeeper Chris Maxwell. Celtic might have scored a third, albeit at the wrong end. Daryl Horgan whipped in a dangerous cross from the left and Christopher Jullien forced his fellow League Cup hero Forster into a marvellous reaction save. With that, any hopes Hibs had of preventing Celtic from recording their ninth successive home league win vanished.

Chauvin has been charged with murder and the incident prompted mass protests across the world, including in the sporting arena.

Wolfsburg made it pretty far in the Europa League this season where this year they got to play first with Malmo and won 2-1 at home and 3-0 away from home the two legs and did get to play the first leg at home with Shakhtar from Ukraine but lost it with 2-1, while after the break they have more points won from the 2 away games played than from all their home games as they won 2-1 away at a pretty tough Augsburg side, and most impressive had the lead 4-0 away at in form Leverkusen side and won with 4-1 the game.
There are a couple of clubs in England who have spent absolute fortunes over the past few seasons, for what they would consider good reasons, but it doesn't always work. Webb believes that it will force clubs to recruit more wisely. The clubs who are best at recruitment find players that no-one else sees," he says. So for clubs who do their homework it will be really good for them, because they will get even more value, whereas the clubs used to paying whatever it takes, they might want to re-evaluate what they do and be smarter.
As touched on above, PSG could do without this game, especially as their focus will be on their final league game before the winter break, which takes place only three days after this fixture. Thomas Tuchel is also likely to rotate, so the bet that stands out is 'PSG to Win & Under 4.5 Goals'. Unsurprisingly, PSG have a very good record against lesser sides in the cup, but for all their might, they’ve have scored more than four in their none of their last seven cup matches against lower-level teams. They've kept a clean sheet in five of those seven.
