I had to do what was morally correct, even though it was difficult to say no. But we made the right choice and now people realise it was correct. Closing the doors to a match is difficult for many reasons but in the end we have to take these decisionsSteven ZhangInter Milan presidentInter took a hard-line approach to the closed-doors game they played. In addition to players, coaches and support staff, the numbers allowed to attend the Ludogorets game were kept to an absolute minimum.
Yet they produced another tepid performance in front of their own fans, lacking leadership, organisation and fight as they failed to win at home for the sixth game in a row. And that run of four consecutive home league defeats has equalled the club's Premier League record, set from November 2005 to January 2006 at Upton Park. Pellegrini's future has already come under scrutiny, with the reaction at the final whistle from those left in the sparsely-filled stands clearly illustrating what they thought of the performance.
When I first saw him, I didn't actually think he was that good. We had spent a lot of money on him - around £35m - and he had arrived with a big reputation, but in those first few sessions he did not look particularly special. It is not as if I was expecting him to be dribbling past four or five players or anything, but I was marking him a lot of the time and he did not really do anything at all. Media playback is not supported on this device Pep Guardiola congratulates Aguero on 'incredible achievement' He looked lethargic and was actually quite lazy if I am being totally honest.
Viktoria Mar. Gorka will host Osipovichy for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this league. However, the hosts have fallen in their shape. Hosts are more vulnerable team in the last matches. In previous game Viktoria Mar. Gorka lost 9-1 against Dnepr Mogilev. In my opinion, the hosts have a very difficult task in this game. They are not convincing team. On the other hand Osipovichy have better results in this campaign. In previous game Osipovichy is won 2-0 against SMlavtotrans. After all, I think, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.

It has not been a very rosy run for Arrows in their recent matches; they took an early lead against Highlands Park in their last match but could not hold on for a win, and ended up drawing 1-1. Before that, they needed a very late goal to beat bottom side, AmaZulu 2-1, after being eliminated from the Cup by VUT Students.
We have to think about the derby and game by game. It's not just the Premier League. We have the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Champions League so we just have to take this rhythm into the next set of fixtures. Liverpool will look to extend that gap back to 11 points over City when hosting Everton tonight.
Blog: How the match unfolded Report: Energetik-BGU maintain perfect start in the last European league standing It is almost impossible to watch one match from the Belarusian Premier League and decide where it ranks on the quality-ometer. Akin to a English League One affair? Maybe, but I’m not entirely sure who that is being harsh on.
Stranraer and Montrose will face each other in the upcoming match in the League One. Stranraer this season have the following results: 2W, 10D and 14L. Meanwhile Montrose have 14W, 2D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.

After more than half of the first leg, Fortuna Sittard is on the right track with the original task set when they are ranked in 11th position, theoretically they are very safe. However, the gap with the bottom 3 teams is only 4 points, so Sittard's fate is of course not guaranteed. The final stage is really difficult, for them to achieve the goal of relegation when their squad depth and experience are almost decisive factors. This is the weakness that Sittard faces. Feyenoord was very hungry for victory. They need points for the top 2 race with AZ. I choose Feyenoord
Both teams have scored in the last seven Everton away league games. Only one of the last seven West Ham home league games has not seen both teams score. The two clubs have conceded 65 league goals between them this season. West Ham start the weekend in 16th place and only a point above the relegation zone.
The hosts struggled to break down Southampton's tight defence, and Ralph Hasenhuttl's side rise to 14th, three points clear of the relegation zone, building on last weekend's win over Aston Villa. Chelsea stay fourth with 32 points from 19 games and must pick themselves up for their visit to Arsenal on Sunday.
They are still competing in both domestic cup competitions and are in the last 16 of the Champions League, where they will meet Real Madrid. They face League Two side Port Vale in the third round of the FA Cup on 4 January, before taking on rivals Manchester United in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on 7 January. But Guardiola insists City will not prioritise these competitions, as they have to secure a European spot for next season.
For both Norwich goals, Arsenal's current central defenders played a passive role. With the opener, David Luiz was not tight enough to prevent Pukki from turning once he had reached Kenny McLean's ball forward. The Brazilian and his defensive partner Mustafi compounded matters by standing off and inviting the Finland forward to shoot. For Norwich's second, Cantwell was allowed to run towards the Arsenal goal and Mustafi remained stationary as the England Under-21 international placed his effort into the far right corner from the left of the area.
Son celebratesEurosport TALKING POINT – Villa’s defensive woes continue For a team never far from trouble in the league, Villa are surprisingly entertaining to watch. Unlike many in their position, they press forward and constantly challenge their opponents, indeed their goal tally of 34 – the same as Spurs and Chelsea – is evidence of that.
After the break, Liverpool remained in command, and moments after Salah had seen a crossed effort come out off the post, the Egyptian brilliantly set up Mane, after the swiftest of counter attacks, to make it two in the 64th minute. From there on in, it was plain sailing for Liverpool, as they made it a remarkable 85 points taken from the last 87 available.
La Liga can resume from 8 June, says Spain's prime minister Pedro Sanchez. The league's president Javier Tebas said he had hoped Spain's top flight would restart on 12 June, although La Liga is yet to confirm a restart date. La Liga players started training in groups of no more than 10 at the start of the week. Spain has done what it should and now new horizons are opening for everyone. The time has come to bring back many day-to-day activities," said Sanchez.

I'll know when it's time to retire'Maidstone, who train three mornings a week, went through two different managers last season - Jay Saunders and Harry Wheeler - before appointing John Still as head of football in January. It is the 69-year-old's second stint at the club having steered the original Maidstone United to the Football League in 1989 before standing down because he wanted to stay part-time to continue running a company selling industrial clothing.
However, if they are to use this platform and go on to challenge for promotion, then they know that they need to turn some of these stalemates into wins as they have already had to share the spoils on 11 occasions this term. It is not as if it is something which has been improving in their recent outings either as they have drawn five of their previous seven league matches.
But it's alright, our guys are strong mentally. They performed regardless of what happened. Their hotel issued a statement saying the team had shown up before the standard check-in time. Even the host nation's athletes have had problems, with the Philippine women's team cramming four or five players to a room designed for two people.
But we can’t help ourselves: like a child handed a big bag of sweets after an hour on the naughty step, we’re simply thrilled that the Champions League has returned to entertain us all. And boy is it back with a bang. Liverpool return to the site of some game or other last season as they face Atletico Madrid in the Wanda Metropolitano, a tie that does look smashing on paper but actually might be a bit of a dud, given how rampant Liverpool are and how limp Atletico have become.

Or is it director of football Marcel Brands, now on the club's board and placed in charge of all football strategy?This description alone suggests the Dutchman lured from PSV Eindhoven must call the shots and Moshiri should simply have the sign off. Brands is the man with the global contacts book, the networking reputation.
Dalglish has been in hospital since Wednesday after requiring intravenous antibiotics, but is not in immediate danger.

The defeat meant Everton finished 12th - their lowest placing at the end of a season in 16 years - and Ancelotti knows plenty of work will need to be done over the summer if he is to get the Toffees challenging higher up the table. A first for Ancelotti - the statsEverton lost a home Premier League game for the first time since November against Norwich, with their first home defeat under Carlo Ancelotti.
It took Aribo's smart intervention to finally splinter Accies. The midfielder galloped into the box and clipped Kent's delivery into the bottom-right corner with a languid flick of his right boot. Then the flood gates opened. Morelos made Rangers' passage to the last eight safe with a predatory header five minutes from time after Greg Stewart's shot took a looping deflection and dropped for him six yards out.
There are 3 games played today in the reserves league in Belarus and this game has the biggest odds on the over 2.5 goals to be scored. Reasons could not be more clearer with BATE 2 having a record of just 1-1-6 in the league so far this season, but they remain same attacking minded side looking to dominate opponents, and should really be looking to dominate Slutsk 2 here, problem being they have conceded 2 goals or more in 6 of their 8 games played so far this season.
Meanwhile, this trip to the Estadio Do Dragao is likely to mark the end of Varzim's Taca de Portugal campaign but the visitors will be trying to secure the most unlikely of wins. Currently 4th in the second tier, Varzim are having a pretty strong season but a trip to Porto represents a huge step up in quality and there can be no doubting the side are huge underdogs.

At this stage, all three promotion hopefuls were level, but it was still West Brom in second. The crucial goal came at Griffin Park, but it was not for Brentford. Instead, in stoppage time Kenyan Clarke Oduor turned in Patrick Schmidt's cross to stun the hosts, save Barnsley and make sure West Brom went back up to the Premier League after two seasons away. Play-offsBrentford, Fulham, Cardiff & Swansea Swansea managed a six-goal swing to climb into the play-offs and dump Forest outThe race for the final couple of places in the play-offs was probably the least exciting facet of the final round.
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.
They are the League One draw specialists with 10 of their 23 outings ending in a stalemate – only Coventry can match this number. They have only lost five times as well, a figure bettered only by top of the table Wycombe and Coventry.
Lille haven’t been great on the road this season but they have scored in nine of their last 10 matches, including each of their last five away days, so we're backing them to find the back of the net as they travel to the capital. Both teams have scored in four of the last five clashes between these teams and, with PSG conceding in two of their last three matches, we're backing the BTTS market in this one.
Paderborn are yet to earn a single win away from home this season. They have also failed to win any of their last four games. Meanwhile, Werder Bremen have lost just two of their last eight Bundesliga games. We feel that they are likely to build on last week's win versus Wolfsburg and overcome the challenge of bottom-placed Paderborn at home.
