Athletic Club should have made a bigger advantage for themselves to take to Granada. They may end up regretting how wasteful they were with the chances they created at San Mames. Yet, despite their superior league form and position, the recent string of defeats to Athletic Club will go against Granada. Don't be surprised to see them get caught on the break by the speed of Inaki Williams. We see this game ending in a hard-fought draw, enough for the visitors to progress to the final.
What they do have is unlimited resources and the power that ensures. And Pep Guardiola. And now both of these pillars of their status have been left at risk by UEFA’s extraordinary decision to ban the club from the Champions League for two seasons and fine them €30 million. A decision which is unprecedented in its severity, and, to some extent, bravery.
Tottenham rattled the net at least once in six of aforementioned seven league outings, though their inability to keep a single clean sheet during that run shines a harsh light on their continue defensive deficiencies.

What we could not accept is a situation where we play all our games and get relegated, but the Championship can't play, and they automatically promote some teams who haven't finished the season," Norwich sporting director Stuart Webber told Sky Sports. For anyone who has got promoted from the Championship, it is a 46- or 49-game slog. It needs to be settled on the pitch - both coming up and going down.
These two teams have played a lot of games in their Head-to-Head history. Of course, Club Brugge KV won the majority of them, as they represent one of the best clubs in Belgium for decades. In their last 8 games, Oostende won only once, which paints a picture. Club Brugge KV dominated them for years. That will give them a mental advantage in this game, with them also playing in front of their home supporters and we know how they play at home in their domestic league. Club Brugge is playing in a lot better form than Oostende lately. Oostende had a disastrous start of the new season with just 12 points from 15 games, as they have started to play even worse lately, after another slow start.
They were playing very deep and compact so it was good for us to have me in the middle to give more space out wide. Newcastle boss Steve Bruce speaking to Sky Sports: "The disappointing thing is the goals we gave away are not like us. They were too easy. For an hour we were where we have been all season. We switched off from that and gave away sloppy goals. I was delighted with the way we played in the first half.
Some people are saying it gets the right decision but we're the players on the pitch and it doesn't feel right to me. Referee] Anthony Taylor is a great fella to speak to but I ask a question and I don't get an answer. We thought Van Dijk handballed it, but the referee tells me Van Dijk is too far away.
COURTOIS DENIES WILLIAMS! That's better from the Athletic Club forward who makes the run in behind before getting the low shot away, but the Real Madrid goalkeeper makes the diving save down to his left. OFF THE LINE! Benzema pounced on a mistake by Martinez, rounded Simon and then squeezed a low shot on target from a narrow angle, but Nunez got back to clear off his own line with a backheel! 44’ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Joelinton, 23, arrived at Newcastle for a club record fee in the region of 40 million pounds ($51. Bruce said the Brazilian is a doubt for Saturday's league trip to Crystal Palace with a thigh problem, adding to the injury list with fellow striker Andy Carroll also sidelined with a hip problem. He (Joelinton) will hopefully train today.

But a second successive win was built upon a rock solid defensive display and the ruthlessness to seize on a big chance when it came. Captain Mee has stood tall for his side both on and off the pitch since the restart. It was he who came out to passionately and eloquently condemn the banner flown by Clarets fans at the Etihad and he who stuck his head in where it hurts to score his side's winner at Selhurst Park.
Real's lengthy unbeaten run and recent dominance over Sevilla at the Bernabeu means that they are worthy favourites for this Matchday 20 clash, although we feel there's more value to be had in the goals markets.
So far, Song Lam has collected 4 points from the March games before the break with only one goal (1-0 at home, 0-0 away). In the Cup the first round was survived (again 1-0 at home), in the second the team knocked out after 1-1 in extra time against second division team Ba Ria. Da Nang has lost both March games so far (0-1 away, 1-4 at home), but recently survived the first cup round by 1-0 with a second division team, but knocked out in round 2 to penalty shootouts against Hanoi. A game in which goals should be scored on both sides and draw.
Cesar Azpilicueta celebratesGetty Images TALKING POINT How far can Chelsea go in the next rounds? They have steadily improved with Frank Lampard in charge but there remains a defensive weakness. Tonight against Lille, Antonio Rudiger proved a solid presence and he might persuade the manager to invest elsewhere in January.
Hertha player Jordan Torunarigha said he was targeted by Schalke fans repeatedly during the game. The DFB said the player was racially abused in the 85th minute from a group of Hertha supporters. Torunarigha was then sent off in extra time for a second bookable offence, throwing down a water crate on the sideline.
News of Bournemouth goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale's positive coronavirus test "shook" the Premier League club, according to manager Eddie Howe. Ramsdale initially tested negative but returned a positive test days later. The 22-year-old was asymptomatic but is one of eight people to test positive from across the Premier League so far. I imagine anxiety is there among the players," Howe told the Daily Mail.
Asier Garitano's side are still five points clear of the drop zone, but they will view this Friday's fixture against second bottom Leganes as a must win affair, considering that they face Barcelona at Camp Nou in the final match before Christmas.
Olympiakos are looking to become the first side to eliminate English opposition in back-to-back knockout rounds in a single season in major European competition since Bayern Munich beat Arsenal (last 16) and Manchester United (quarter-final) in the 2013-14 Champions League. Heading into the last 16 of this season's Europa League, only Basel (six) have won more matches in the competition than Wolves (five), while no side has netted more goals than the English side (17 - level with Sporting Braga).
The first Premier League winter break is upon us, with 10 games staggered over the next two weeks. There are only four matches this weekend, but they could prove pivotal in the race to avoid relegation, with four of the bottom six involved before they head to the beach, or a warm-weather training camp. BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson said: "For all the struggling teams, winning this weekend and heading off on holiday on the back of a positive result would make a massive difference.
Newcastle upped the pace after the break but Gayle's overhead kick from Miguel Almiron's cross and a Ritchie piledriver were the closest they came to breaking the deadlock. Chris Wood briefly livened up Burnley's challenge when he came on as a substitute but the man who had scored the winner in the corresponding fixture at Turf Moor in December was unable to earn Burnley their first league double over Newcastle for 59 years.

And it was significant Pochettino felt compelled to talk about players with "different agendas" after the humiliating League Cup exit to League Two Colchester United. In 2019, no Premier League side has lost more games in all competitions than Spurs' 18. The last time they lost more in a calendar year was in 2008 when they suffered 19 defeats under Juande Ramos and Harry Redknapp. Tottenham sack Pochettino after five and a half yearsHow Pochettino's Spurs reign unravelled - in numbersHas Levy made the right decision?Outsiders - and indeed plenty of Spurs supporters - were quick to condemn the haste of Pochettino's departure and the brutal manner in which it was announced.
This game is very important for both teams. C. Zvezda Mali Mokri Lug is second bottom team with just 17 points so far but Radnicki Obrenovac have just 3 points more. Both teams are in deep fighting against relegation and both need just to win. For home side this is last train if you ask me. So I expect they will finally score goal as at last two games they did not score a single goal. In game like this players must give more than than 100 percent and in game like this one you can see everything. Over 2.5 goals for me.
Gutierrez, who was appointed in November, told the club's radio station UDA Radio: "If someone finds an image of me, with the players or alone, in a nightclub in Almeria, I submit my resignation and, not only that, but all the money that Almeria has paid me I return it. It is very painful that just because someone says that it is a rumour, it already goes viral throughout Spain and goes out everywhere.
Posted at 57' Corner, RB Leipzig. Conceded by Kevin Vogt. Posted at 51' Corner, RB Leipzig. Conceded by Milos Veljkovic. Manchester City have 10 days to lodge their appeal against being thrown out of the Champions League to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The club were banned on Friday from European club competition for the next two seasons for "serious breaches" of Uefa's financial regulations.
Marcus Rashford says Manchester United are only showing "half of what we can do" following their Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg defeat on Tuesday. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side lost 3-1 to rivals Manchester City and have now lost seven of their past 10 home matches against their local rivals. United have lost two and drawn one of their three fixtures in 2020. We need to keep fighting to find that extra percentage that will win us games," Rashford, 22, said.
Woodward took on the CEO role and effectively became the middle man between the Florida-based Glazers and the team manager. While commercial progress has continued, with United recently expanding their presence in the Chinese market , success on the field has been much harder to find. David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho were all appointed and then dismissed as team managers before Woodward turned to former player Solskjaer.
France Ligue 1 match where Lyon will play against Amiens. the hosts are in sixth position of the championship while the guests are in the third last position of the same league. In the last 5 matches, the hosts are coming from a defeat and 4 wins. In the last 5 matches, the guests are coming from 2 drawers and 3 defeats. In their last 9 matches, they drew only once and for 9 consecutive times Lyon has won,. so I bet once again on a victory for the hosts with an Asian handicap -1. They can win here with at least 2 goals.
I believe in very fast and offensive match in this duel from Austria Bundesliga and that is pretty real to expect, if we just see how this rivals are playing. Austria was very efficient all season, but in last round, they are played poor and just 0-0, what was for me really huge surprise. What will be this time, we will see but I see very fast match with at least four goals. Hartberg is played in last two matches 2-1 and 1-3, so probably they will also continue on same level and this time. Yes, over 3,5 is more than ok.

But Wilder's outfit headed into this one unbeaten away from home this term and took the game to the hosts early on when John Egan bundled in from a corner. That was ruled out by VAR for handball, as was Jack O'Connell's effort in the second half for offside, as Wilder, who BBC Sport columnist Charlie Webster wrote this week is "making having an English manager look sexy and attractive", got the better of the tactical battle with his opposite number.
Barcelona could emerge as a wildcard option. ESTIMATED COST: £46M 37: Corentin Tolisso (Bayern Munich) WHY HE COULD MOVE Since the departure of Niko Kovac as Bayern coach, Tolisso's prospects have changed significantly. He has only started three games in 2020 and no longer has the confidence of Hans-Dieter Flick – not what he would have dreamed of when he left Lyon in the summer of 2017 to join one of the biggest clubs in the world.
But with so many complicating factors, how will UEFA go about staging the ultimate Houdini act and making a success of the biggest sporting postponement in modern times? FULL STORY: UEFA confirm Euro 2020 postponed until 2021 OPINION: Euro 2021? What postponement could mean for England WHAT IS HAPPENING? UEFA have announced they will delay Euro 2020 by a year due to the coronavirus pandemic which has ripped through Europe in recent weeks.
I was astonished clubs and leagues wanted to carry on'The concept of social distancing should have applied to Italian football earlier, he says. Some matches were suspended in mid-February, followed by a ruling on 3 March that Serie A games would be played behind closed doors. But it was not until 10 March that Italian football was officially suspended. I was involved personally and I was astonished to see professional clubs and leagues wanted to carry on playing," he said.
FCSB lost in a long time in the league on the road in their first game after the winter break but it was an expected defeat on their still they conceded quite late away at league leaders from CFR Cluj near the 80 minute of the game and it was a defender Vinicius who scored the winning goal for CFR Cluj in that one. Smaller fish for FCSB this time as Voluntari is bottom of the league with just 11 points, they are stress free, any points they win do help the side in their quest for avoiding relegation, they know they are likely to lose.
It is only five weeks since Watford got their first Premier League home win of the season - against United. They have lost only once in seven games since. Defeat by Nigel Pearson's men would be a body blow. Losing to League One Tranmere would be a catastrophe given Rovers have lost three successive home games in 2020 - to Coventry, Leicester Under-21s and Ipswich - by a combined score of 8-3. Fan furyThere will be no repeat of the mass pre-final whistle exit of Old Trafford from the United fans at Vicarage Road or Prenton Park on Sunday but a repeat of the songs belted out against the Glazer family and Woodward cannot be ruled out.

Willems, on loan from German side Eintracht Frankfurt, was taken off on a stretcher early in their 1-0 win over Chelsea in the Premier League over the weekend with a knee injury and Bruce said he tore his anterior cruciate ligament. It's what we feared, (Willems) has ruptured his anterior cruciate (ligament) and will miss the rest of the season," Bruce told reporters ahead of Tuesday's league visit to Everton.
His goal late in extra time should have been enough to send Arsenal into the next round but the Gunners' inability to deal with a set-piece - for the fourth time in just two games - was ultimately the knockout blow. It hurts a lot," said Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta. We were in control but conceded a set-piece to put us in a difficult position. If you concede four goals from set-pieces in two games it makes it very difficult.
England's Premier League appears set to continue, however, with Britain's government saying it would "not necessarily" reduce large scale gatherings despite the response to the crisis being moved up from the "contain" to the "delay" phase. Three Leicester City players were self-isolating after showing symptoms of coronavirus.
These two clubs also met in a friendly game in this winter break and I happened to watch the fixture between them in which Horn actually took the lead in the first half and had some big scoring chances to even make it 2-0 in their favor while Rapid Vienna simply could not break the well organized Horn defense who was also super motivated to be getting a result out of that encounter, and in the second half they also conceded just one goal and ended up drawing the friendly with 1-1 in the end.
Ironically, despite grandstand finishes in both normal and extra time, the game initially mirrored the 0-0 draw between the sides on 25 January. A goalless first half was marred by an injury to Blues midfielder Josh McEachran, who was taken off on a stretcher after appearing to land awkwardly following a challenge. And it wasn't until Bakayoko's goal - a right-foot effort that looped off Blues goalkeeper Lee Camp and bounced over the goalline - that the contest sparked into life.
However, the Toffees have shown considerable improvement since Marco Silva left the club, and they’re currently unbeaten in three games having taken five points off Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal in the last few weeks.
Ismaila Sarr has scored twice and made three goals in five matches, Abdoulaye Doucoure has been involved in four goals in three weeks, Troy Deeney has scored four in five, while Hornets goalkeeper Ben Foster has kept a clean sheet four times in six league games. For those wannabe managers that study the fixture list, improving Everton, with three league wins in four since Carlo Ancelotti took over, could be a good option as the Toffees do not play a side in the top eight in the next four weeks, starting with Newcastle at home on Saturday.
