Video - Eriksen's Inter contract details revealed but Conte isn't finished there! - Euro Papers01:16 “If I remember the game against Olympiacos. He came in and gave us a lot, the same against Norwich.
I realise I am a really bad loser, especially when the boys put such an effort in against world-class players on the other side who defend with two rows of four. We know in the past two years we had some lucky moments in the Champions League - you have to to reach two finals - but today everything was against us in the decisive moments.
Pique has been questioned for travelling to Madrid each day to attend the first edition of the tournament his Kosmos company has transformed, with newspaper Sport saying his role as figurehead was incompatible with his job as a Barca player. I had a friendly conversation with the coach about my plans and how we were going to manage it, I have a phenomenal relationship with the coach and with the club, all this noise is coming from outside," Pique told reporters.
Despite Monaco winning eight of their last nine home games, just one of these victories came against a team in the top five at the time of playing (Lille, 5-1). The one defeat in this time also came against a team in the top five (Lille, 0-3) so they haven't really proved themselves at home against top sides yet. PSG have won their last four trips to Monaco and we're backing them to do so again. We expect that Monaco will get on the scoresheet as they have done so in ten of their last eleven home matches but ultimately we see this one finishing 3-1 to the visitors. They rarely struggle in back-to-back matches and even though Monaco have a new lease of life, we see the champions getting the three points.
Mark Viduka scored against Real Madrid at the BernabeuO'Leary's young side then boosted their burgeoning reputation at the Bernabeu, albeit in a narrow 3-2 defeat, before playing out a pulsating 3-3 draw with Lazio, safe in the knowledge their place in the last eight had already been clinched. As individuals, the other teams maybe had better players," Bakke says. But as a team, the hunger and fighting for each other, the spirit we had was second to none.
Those armbands turned out to be good for something after all. The initiative was, inevitably, greeted warmly by Conservative minister for health Matt Hancock, who last week publicly called on footballers to play their part. We await his call for hedge fund managers, airline owners, and other egregiously minted Conservative party donors to do likewise.

Alli was caught after he shot - and the defender got none of the ball - but the referee isn't interested in awarding a penalty. CHANCE! Upamecano surges forward again, plays the ball to Haidara and almost gets on the end of the return pass, but Lloris is out quickly to quash the danger. GOAL! Leipzig 3-0 Tottenham (Forsberg).
Spanish publication AS report that Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is ready to end the Brazilian's La Liga stay, 18 months on from his £142m move from Liverpool. Pogba's United career over: report Paul Pogba's controversial stint at Manchester United is nearing an end, The Sun have reported. Both parties are eager to secure a parting of the ways, according to the tabloid, with United prepared to listen to offers of around £100 million for the Frenchman, who moved to Old Trafford from Juventus for £89m in June 2016.
We can defend ourselves. We have the right to defend ourselves when we believe what we have done is correct. In this year's Champions League, City face Real Madrid in their last-16 second leg at Etihad Stadium on 7 August. They lead 2-1 from the first leg and will face Juventus or Lyon if they progress. When asked about his future with last season's Premier League champions, Guardiola said he was "happy" but added "now is not the time" to discuss a new contract.
Saturday's Superliga Argentina action sees Boca Juniors doing battle with Argentinos Juniors at La Bombonera. The hosts arrive as big favourites to secure all 3 points and will be looking to do exactly that.
Al Sahel will host Al Shorta for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this season. Both teams have a poor results in the last matches. True, in last game Al Sahel is won 3-0 against worst Al Jazeera. Also, we have Al Shorta who's is outsiders in this game. The visitors are more vulnerable in the last matches. They have three consecutive losses. In last game Shorts lost 1-2 against strong Tishreen. Of course, this will not be an easy task for the visitors. They were weak team in recent times. True, they played against more strong rivals. I think, the visitors have a real chance to break the poor series.
One thing we are expecting is a lack of clean sheets. Norwich, for all their faults, have only failed to score once at Carrow Road this season. However, they are yet to keep a clean sheet there, and the visiting Sheffield United have found the net in all but one of their away games. The Blades’ are undoubtedly a defensively solid side, but even they have only kept two clean sheets on the road this season, so backing Both Teams to Score looks a great shout on Sunday.
For me there is at least a class difference between these two teams at this moment or between any club from Netherlands and Ajax right now, to be remembered Ajax had an excellent run in the Champions League last season defeating top sides like Real Madrid or Juventus, and they do seem much better in tough games away from home than at home winning 3-0 away at Valencia, 2-0 at Lille and having the lead 4-1 at Chelsea but they only drew 4-4 and it cost them qualification.
It took an impressive save from Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak to keep out a strike from Victor Sanchez later in the first half which would have doubled Espanyol's lead but the visitors levelled in the 47th through a superb volley from Saul Niguez. Atletico are fourth in the standings on 44 points after 26 matches, one ahead of Real Sociedad in fifth and two above sixth-placed Getafe although both sides have one game in hand.
Having worked with a number of clubs in the EFL, including Norwich before they were promoted, Zanetton said the £50m fund already offered to clubs is “a small amount, but a start”. He told BBC Sport: “Knowing some of these clubs quite well, it just doesn’t cut it. This is going to be disruption for a significant period of time. Like Wilson, he feels the Premier League can help with the financial fallout of the pandemic.
The Premier League season is set to restart on 17 June with Aston Villa v Sheffield United and Manchester City v Arsenal, the BBC has learned. The matches are the two games in hand.

There are 92 fixtures still to play.
While Torino only secure an average of 1.22 points per home game, which is below the league average of 1.40 points, their guests average just 0.44 points per away game and are yet to secure a single win on the road. Torino concede an average of 1.33 goals per home game and Genoa concede an average of 2.67 goals per away game which is why we have backed a 2-1 win for the home side on Thursday.
Debrecen and Zalaegerszegi will face each other in the upcoming match in the OTP Bank Liga. Debrecen this season have the following results: 9W, 3D and 11L. Meanwhile Zalaegerszegi have 6W, 7D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
No loan signings can be made by EFL or Premier League clubs after the deadline, except in extreme circumstances - such as a club's senior goalkeepers all being unavailable. Can new signings play this weekend?It is unlikely any deadline signings will play this weekend. They would only be eligible if they signed before 12:00 GMT on Friday. Only McCallum, who rejoined Coventry on loan, and Soares were done in that time - and the new Arsenal full-back has a knock so is unlikely to face Burnley on Sunday.
Swansea City head coach Steve Cooper has warned his players of the "pain" they face if they are to challenge for promotion to the Premier League. With nine regular season Championship games remaining, Swansea are three points off the play-offs in 11th. They are due to resume their campaign away to Middlesbrough on 20 June. Players are going to have to go through a threshold of pain that many may not have been at before," Cooper warned.
Midfielder Rachel Furness and forward Rinsola Babajide hosted a music quiz for the squad last week and Liverpool also had a baby photo quiz and team yoga on Zoom. Furness said it was clear she had a "completely different" taste in music to Babajide. I had a lot of old school music and well, Rinsola's was more up to date, let's put it that way," Furness told BBC Sport. A lot of 'I have no clue' was spoken when we played Rinsola's.
The display was a far cry from Villa's last outing when they suffered a dismal 2-0 defeat at fellow strugglers Southampton. The performance level today is the standard we have to be," Smith said. We were written off after our performance against Southampton, and needed a reaction and I think we got that.
That was their best chance of the game. Stanislas looked rusty on his first appearance since April, giving away possession needlessly at one stage to start a Brighton attack, although he was the only other Bournemouth player to test Ryan. Dominic Solanke is soon approaching the year anniversary of his £19m move from Liverpool but has yet to score for the club. He had a good chance to get a shot away but took too much time and was well tackled by Lewis Dunk.
Anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out says sectarian abuse of Stoke's James McClean "cannot continue" after alleged chanting at their game with Millwall. The Republic of Ireland player, 30, does not wear a poppy on his shirt for games scheduled around Remembrance Day.

Barnsley were charged by the Football Association on 3 January for alleged sectarian chanting against McClean.

Video - Toure: 'A big, big statement if players left pitch due to racism'01:08 I'm not sure about whether they support their team or whether they just go to vent their anger.
It's a question of when not if Liverpool will win the Premier League. There's no hope of a close finish this season just a wait for the actual crowning of Liverpool as champions. They continue to be in good form despite the busy fixture list and will cope without the injured Sadio Mane. West Ham continue to be in relegation trouble and after this game face Brighton at home folllowed by trips to Manchester City and the return game with Liverpool, all very worrying for their fans. Go for Liverpool to win this game and be ahead at both half and full time.

If you look around, or you leave the hotel, there are not many people walking on the streets. Nobody seems to walk around, everyone seems to drive. However, Warnock had a different experience. The organisation - in terms of getting to the ground and everything immediately before and after the games - was seamless," Warnock said. As a dress rehearsal for the World Cup, it has been a really good one.
