Barcelona had to prove that Dembele was out for six months before being allowed to make a move. Barcelona are the first club to utilise a clause that Fifa asked the Spanish FA to remove in 2016, but Valencia are trying to follow them after injuries to two centre-backs. Every player in Spanish football has a release clause in his contract - some more realistic than others - and Barca were able to pay the £15m to sign Braithwaite, who joined Leganes from Middlesbrough in the summer.

The Seagulls still have a few problems on their travels though. They have lost five of their nine trips away this season, winning just twice and failing to keep a clean sheet since September. That being said, they have managed to find the net themselves in each of their last five away days, and they should be able to extend that record on Thursday.
One weapon that could be used to combat this is TV. Would Sky and BT make their games available free-to-air in an effort to discourage supporters from going to stadiums? In addition, would the ban on broadcasting fixtures at 15:00 be lifted temporarily so matches could be seen whenever they are played? There has also been a suggestion fixtures may not be broadcast in pubs and bars to try to limit the numbers watching games in one place.
Manchester City will learn on Monday whether their appeal against a two-year ban from European club competitions has been successful. City appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) after Uefa's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) issued the ban in February. The CFCB ruled the club had committed "serious breaches" of Uefa's Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations between 2012 and 2016. They were also fined 30m euros (£25m).
I must give Wim and Murdo credit because when you live in Glasgow and the race is on between Celtic and Rangers until the last game, there is no escape from it. You couldn't leave the house without being reminded about it. Best moment of my career'The nervous tension was palpable among a capacity crowd when Celtic kicked off against a St Johnstone side seeking a win for European qualification. But Larsson's terrific curling strike after just three minutes acted as a release valve.
The former Manchester City defender said the squad had gone through a transition period with youngsters coming through but that everyone seemed to be on the same page as Southgate.

It leaves Neville with a selection headache in the full-back position, while goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck is also a doubt after picking up an injury in the 3-3 draw with Chelsea just over a week ago. Arsenal forward Beth Mead is also absent through injury so there is a place up for grabs in attack, which Hemp will hope to take advantage of.
When top players come in, they elevate everybody else and I think she has the capability to do that. I wouldn't be surprised if she is the missing piece of the jigsaw to winning in Europe. Chelsea were willing to invest in a superstar' Chelsea fought off interest from a number of top European clubs - including six-time Champions League winners Lyon, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid - when they signed Kerr on 13 NovemberRafferty says Kerr is "the biggest signing in WSL history".
However, the Bees did seal automatic promotion the following season and have been in the Championship ever since. Brighton may now be a Premier League club, but 23 years ago the Seagulls were fighting for their very survival. Fans spent most of the campaign protesting against the ownership of Bill Archer, who had sold the club's Goldstone Ground for redevelopment, and the side was cut adrift at the foot of Division Three.
You don't do big celebrations after scoring. I'm not really a goal celebration type of person. Obviously sometimes for a game I make a deal either with my brother or one of the team-mates like, 'oh we're going to do this today'. But I'm probably just running to the player that passed me the ball; I think it just shows respect to the other team. We've got girls on the team that do something really weird or stupid or funny and I do appreciate that as well.

We'll be watching it on TV this summer, as we wait to hear more about when it may be safe for domestic and international football to resume. There were many other differences too, though. We've gone through some of the major transformations below. No elite sport in England before 1 JuneThe 'chart football song' was still a thing Football influencers in 1996When was the last time we had a good tournament song? 1996 was a moment in British history where guitar music, football, terrace fashion and the glorification of lager seemed to meet at a cultural interface.
The hosts are coming with great morale in this one after just managing to qualify further in the Europa League after winning 3-0 at home against the Russians from Krasnodar, a game where they really only needed just one point but wanted to make sure and scored 3 late goals. This while in the league things could not be better for Getafe, with a win here which is quite likely they would climb on 4th place as they have just 3 losses in 16 games this season in the league.
The promotion thriller in Liga 3 is strikingly exciting. Almost half the league still has chances to get promoted and these two are part of this thrill. Unterhaching recently dip in form with 1 draw and 3 defeats in last 4 and Waldhoff is the only league team that remained unbeaten until the last away game.
derby match in Australia and despite how much Sydney is stronger this season, this is not going to be easy match for them to win and also because Melbourne victory is very good team at home, so I think it is not going to be a lot of goals,Sydney is surely not going to be able to score more than two and even that is a lot, I think the most realistic is Sydney is score one and maybe win with 0-1 because Melbourne victory is in bad shape and it will not be a surprise if they fail to score a goal!
The policy, which costs seven figures a year according to the report is likely to ensure the financial security of British Tennis, with the LTA taking a large amount of money from the staging of Wimbledon every year. Isner: Cancelling Wimbledon tough to take John Isner is less than enthusiastic about the prospects of Wimbledon being cancelled because of the coronavirus outbreak.
GOAL! Burnley 0-2 Manchester City. It most certainly had been coming, but there is the second from Jesus. In the absence of Aguero, Jesus is doing the business here. Fine pass from De Bruyne out to Bernardo Silva, who fires a super cross into Jesus, the Brazilian sticks out a leg and diverts the ball into the top corner.
They played like the home team in one of the Premier League's more unusual derbies, which developed in the 1970s because of a rivalry between the two clubs' managers at the time - Terry Venables at Palace and Alan Mullery at Brighton. Most of Brighton's efforts in the first half were from long range, as Palace held them at arm's length. Aaron Mooy curled wide from outside the box, while Yves Bissouma and Pascal Gross had efforts from distance saved.
Shakhtyor are struggling for goals but a win over FC Slutsk will see them climb above their opponents in the table. Three games in a row have seen them fail to score a goal though, so how do they get that win? They are unbeaten in their last 14 home league matches but will need to improve their form to beat FC Slutsk. Their opponents have made a solid start to the new season but this looks like being a low scoring match. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored.
If anything the mental side is the priority at the moment," he said. It is a global crisis. The economy of this country is in lockdown. We know people are struggling on the front line. Some of the players are away from their families and they are missing them.

The English, Northern Irish and Scottish Football Associations said in a statement http://www. Monday that they are also restricting the headers for 12 to 16-year-olds at grassroots level with immediate effect.

When Coisty got back, he thought it was Gordon Durie and Duncan Ferguson, so they were in a prank war for the rest of the tournament. No favours and crates of champagne15 June, Norrkoping. Scotland 0-2 Germany (Riedle 29, Effenberg 47)The mood in camp was jovial, but the players knew they had to be at their best against Germany to stand any chance of advancing to the next stage.

You wondered whether Arsenal's decision to take in a training camp in Dubai when some clubs - including Newcastle - allowed their players a holiday had backfired.

You know the name of the wife, of the kid of such and such. My regret at Arsenal is to have gone from human size to inhuman, with a heavier administrative weight. Everything accelerated. Ten years ago, you’d see a guy who was good, you’d get him in, give him a tracksuit and he’d be a part of the team.
His confidence was shot in pre-season and so the Reds turned to Roma's Alisson for a world record £66. Brazilian conceding seven goals over two legs against Liverpool in the semi-finals. That signing changed everything as the Reds went on to win the Champions League the following year and the Premier League this season. Alisson has only conceded 51 goals in 81 games. Gibbons: "When we came back for pre-season Karius actually played the first few games but that must have just been to get the price down for Alisson.
Sivasspor is a phenomenon in the Turkish league this season, when they surpassed big players like Galatasaray, Besiktas or Fenerbahce to climb to the top of the rankings with 40 points after 18 matches. The current gap between Sivasspor and second-place Fenerbahce is 3 points but the home team plays less than 1 match. If they win the match late on tonight, Sivasspor will reestablish 6 points more than the team chasing behind. This is probably not too difficult task if Sivasspor continues to ensure a stable performance as last time. Rizespor has just been removed from the Turkish Cup by Galatasaray, and in the league this team also showed a poor performance when they lost 3/5 recent matches, and they lost 4/5 away matches near
Wim Jansen was a long-time admirer and a transfer to Celtic was agreed, but leaving Dortmund was a wrench. For about a month, I couldn't kick my backside at Celtic," he says. My head was all over the place, I was thinking, 'What have I done?' Slowly but surely my game started to come. Celtic would win the title that season to halt Rangers' march to 10-in-a-row. It was the start of a glorious spell, during which Lambert won four Scottish titles, two Scottish Cups, two league cups and captained Celtic to the 2003 Uefa Cup final.

It’s the pitchside monitors we feel sorry for. The other intriguing note in the circular is that leagues currently suspended thanks to the coronavirus “have the option of completing the competition using the Laws of the Game 2019/20 or adopting the Laws of the Game 2020/21. Which raises the delicious possibility of a league title decided by a rule that was ever-so-slightly different at the start of the season.

Because I can source direct at cost price using the not-for-profit donations, it means I can physically buy the product and get it delivered to where it is needed most. That could be a care home in Nottingham or any health service anywhere in the country. The government has come under attack during the coronavirus pandemic over shortages of PPE for some staff who need it when doing their jobs. But health secretary Matt Hancock said last week that "herculean" efforts were being made to obtain further supplies for care homes, as well as hospitals, including single-use disposable gloves, aprons and face masks.
