La Liga leaders Barcelona played out an entertaining draw with fourth-placed Real Sociedad. Mikel Oyarzabal gave the hosts the lead with a penalty after Sergio Busquets fouled Diego Llorente, but Antoine Griezmann equalised with a clipped finish against his former club. Luis Suarez then put Barca ahead from Lionel Messi's unselfish pass. But Alexander Isak equalised as he fired home after Marc-Andre ter Stegen parried Nacho Monreal's cross-shot.
He was so so good against Liverpool and so so good here again. I am happy with the boys. They played with intensity. The form of Lamela and Lo Celso is timely for Tottenham with Danish playmaker Christian Eriksen, out of contract in June, reportedly close to signing for Inter Milan. Eriksen surprisingly played the full 90 minutes against Boro and Mourinho said he can "hold his head up high".
Against Sheffield United? A tap-in from inside the six-yard box. Against Chelsea? A run from inside his own half – but only made possible after a hopeless second touch wasn't pounced upon by a slipping N'Golo Kante. On the flip side, he scored a screamer against Nottingham Forest to announce himself to Arsenal fans and struck twice in that crazy 5-5 thriller with Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, goals that helped him become a first-team regular at the Emirates.
I didn't realise how big a challenge this was going to be, even down to putting tiles in the showers. Who are Inter Miami?Inter Miami - whose full name is Club Internacional de Futbol Miami - will hope to succeed where more than 30 Florida teams have failed, including Miami Fusion, who only lasted in MLS from 1998 to 2001. And they have already built a big fanbase before even playing a game. Fans eager for a Miami team to support turned up in numbers - with banners, flags and drums - to Inter's under-13 and under-14 games last season.
Manager Neil Lennon says leading Celtic to their ninth title in a row is his best achievement in football - and he wants to top it with an unprecedented 10th consecutive championship. The Glasgow side were crowned champions on a points-per-game average on Monday when the SPFL ended the season. Lennon says the title is "fully deserved" as he eyes further glory. Even when I took over and we got to eight, people were talking about 10," said Lennon.
Aberdeen simply couldn't get to grips with the winger and, along with Allan, the pair had the visitors' defence on the back foot throughout.

Juventus Managua U20 is going to face Municipal Jalapa U20. The hosts won three matches in a row and they scored ten goals while conceded only two. They played against better teams than Jalapa and I think that they will be highly motivated for this match. Juventus is able to progress in this playoffs and to be honest I am waiting for a good match. Jalapa lost last two matches with the results of 0:3 and 0:5. I don't think that they will score here even one goal. My bet for this match is an easy victory for Managua and 2:0 or more is possible
With planes grounded and grounds empty, let's take stock of 65 years of action and ask that question which inspired Hanot: who's best?The scoring systemClearly any scoring system designed to create a European league table is open to debate. Other algorithms are available! But the following system seems a fair way of calculating the all-time European elite. The European Cup or Champions League has always been the premier competition and so winning it should be rewarded with the most points.
The UK government is expected to announce on Thursday that it is stepping up its response to the pandemic. It is anticipated the UK will switch to tactics aimed at delaying its spread, rather than containing it, when the government's emergency committee meets. Delay is the phase in which "social distancing" measures will be considered - which could include restrictions on public gatherings above a certain number of people, although this is not thought likely at this stage.
I know David de Gea's mistake cost them a goal but they have so many quality players, and it feels like they are about to seriously kick on as a team. De Gea has not suddenly become a bad goalkeeper, it is just that at the moment he is not the De Gea who was United's best player for three years. I wonder if he has just tweaked his technique a little bit, because what he used to do was brilliant and now what he does is average.
Manchester United's Lingard a transfer target for Atletico, Roma Atletico Madrid and Roma are leading the chase for Jesse Lingard if he leaves Manchester United, sources have told ESPN.

Wolves need just one point from their remaining two Group K fixtures to qualify for the knockout stage of the Europa League, and are presented with their first chance to secure that point on Thursday in a tricky-looking assignment at table-topping Sporting Braga.
La Liga rules stipulate that any club playing in Spain's top two divisions may apply to sign a player outside of the transfer window, providing that several specific conditions are met. The first is that the receiving club must have suffered a long-term injury - a minimum of five months with evidence required from medical experts.
This is first of two matches from Spain Primera where I will bet on goals tonight and that is pretty real for me. Mallorca is at the start of season played defensive, but in last few weeks, team was very efficient. In that period, they are played even four times in a row efficient. In last round, team is lost 1-2 against Levante, and before that match, they are played 3-1, 0-3 and 2-2. Betis was great against Valencia and if they be on that level and this time, goals are very real here. I will bet on over, odds are great.
Slovan Bratislava is going to face Zlate Moravce. This match is a cup match in Slovenia and to be honest, I expect a very good and balanced clash between these teams. Slovan won 1:0 the first match in the league but Zlate also won their match. Both teams are in good shape and that's why I don't think that the hosts will dominate and win here by more than 2 goals. I think that there is a chance to see even a draw in the full time and the result will be clear after the penalty. My bet is Asian handicap +1,75 for Zlate

Swedish top league. Team Malmo FF will host team Varberg BoiS. Malmo FF did win and draw game at the last 2 matches played. There they scored 3 goals.

He mentions the great analogy Crouchy once gave of buffalo and gazelle defenders, and he wanted to know which one he was and what his strike partners would be: a buffalo or gazelle? Crouch: Someone rapid upfront with me usually works quite well. I'd be the buffalo to his gazelle. Or, for want of another analogy, I think a donkey to a fox, something like that. Donkeys have been falsely labelled, they work hard, they constantly pull their weight, put a shift in and get results.
They probably have more importance within the dressing room and play less, but you need those old heads.

The former LA Galaxy and Sweden striker had another goal ruled out for offside. Ibrahimovic, 38, signed a six-month deal at the Serie A side in December, with the option of another season.

Arguably, the best players that came into the side between 1990 and 2020 are the ones they got for nothing; academy graduates Robbie Fowler, Gerrard, Carragher, Michael Owen and Trent Alexander-Arnold. At the other end of the scale, though, are the likes of Van Dijk, Alisson and Naby Keita - the top three biggest deals the club have made in that time, with all three playing a prominent role in bringing Liverpool their 19th title.

Nearly 4,000 Celtic fans celebrated wildly and urged their side to keep up the pressure.
This is my natural habitat. Was I extra emotional? No. Was I nervous before the game? No. But I just love it. To confess, the most difficult moments for me in this 11 months was the part of the summer when, for the first time, I didn't have a pre-season.

He loved them for their euphoric impact – “the electricity in the dressing-room is unbelievable” – and what they signified.
