We are going to support him. I went over to hug him because I respect everything he gives me on a day-to-day basis," Valverde said. He is a good person, it is impossible not to love him. The fans will end up appreciating him again. A Real revenge mission?Real Madrid are second in Group A and a win over PSG on Tuesday will guarantee qualification for the knockout stages of the competition. Zidane's side can also go through before they kick-off at the Bernabeu, if Bruges fail to beat Galatasaray when the two sides meet at 17:55 GMT.
Bayern maintained their point lead with a 4-1 win at Koln last weekend and are now unbeaten in their last eight league games since a defeat at Borussia Monchengladbach in early December. Of those eight games, all have been won aside from the recent home draw with second-placed Leipzig. Munich have scored 13 goals in their last four home league fixtures with only one goal conceded.

Derby manager Phillip Cocu: "We knew it would be a tough game and from the moment we conceded the goal it was going to be much harder against one of the best-organised teams in the league. We conceded an easy goal, and we had a poor start, we hesitated and we were slow which changed after we conceded which I'm a little disappointed about. But in the end we got an important goal and mentally we are in a good place and we kept pushing.
The other problem for the visitors is their bad record on the road. Preston have lost six of their 10 trips this term, with the visitors going down in each of their last three away games. Alex Neil’s men come into this one with one of the worst away records in the league. With 78% of their points this term coming at home, Preston could be found out here.
Sam Foley's goal was St Mirren's fourth in the opening 43 minutesMotherwell fight back before penalty heartacheMotherwell, already weakened by illness and injury to Declan Gallagher and Christopher Long, changed their shape for the second half as they tried to claw their way back into this tie. It had the desired effect as Watt - on his first start - raced into the area and shaped an effort beyond Hladky with the help of a slight deflection.
Real Esteli is hosting Diriangen as slightly favorites this time. The questions is, are they really favorites? Well true odds don't say so and actually they put Diriangen as slightly favorites. True odds would be at 3,29 - 2,64 - 3,16 at the 1 X 2 market accordingly. We have value on the away team and also the draw. Last 6 matches between those two clubs ended under 2.5 goals and especially the last 3 we had only 3 goals total. I'll go for the under 2.5 goals this time. Despite the low odds we can see value on it. True odds is 1,21 and we're betting at 1,50
Controversially high I fancy. France's favourite Kylian Mbappe has arrived and is getting absolutely mobbed, as you might expect. The guests are arriving It's a glitzy ceremony as usual with a lovely red carpet - with a Fiat hatchback parked in the middle of it. Anyway, Robert Lewandowski is here, looking well given that he's currently in rehab for an addiction to scoring goals.
Former Motherwell centre-half Stephen Craigan on BBC Radio Scotland's SportsoundCeltic were a different team when they had an out-and-out centre-forward on against Rangers on Sunday. Nothing against Lewis Morgan, he's not and out-and-out centre-forward. You can get away with it against a Ross County or Hamilton, but you can't get away with it against better quality. Odsonne Edouard is coming back from injury and he's crucial for them in this busy December and has got to be wrapped in cotton wool and it's sensible management from Neil Lennon - he has to rest players.

MONDAY’S BIG HEADLINES Ole’s wheely bad Video - Solskjaer: The league table is not my biggest concern00:44 The situation at Old Trafford is rather more perplexing. A 2-2 draw at home against Aston Villa on Sunday leaves United ninth in the table after a paltry four wins from 14 games. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a worse record this season than Unai Emery did - and most incredibly, since landing the job on a permanent basis his win ratio in the league is a catastrophic 27%.

Cricket Australia was constantly monitoring air quality during the final two tests of their series with New Zealand, while Tennis Australia (TA) moved a lower-level tournament from Canberra. TA also said they would halt matches at the Jan. Feb. Australian Open in Melbourne, the year's first Grand Slam tournament, if air quality deteriorated.
That was evident after the 2-2 draw with Newcastle last month when Everton threw away a two-goal lead deep into injury time. Instead of another volley of criticism, though, Ancelotti added perspective by referring to how his AC Milan team threw away a three-goal lead in the 2005 Champions League final against Liverpool. There are things in football you cannot control," he said. Simplifying tactics and keeping the faithMuch of Ancelotti's success so far has come by simplifying how his team plays and leaning on those who are already established at the club.
That increased to 334 the following season, and there was a further 43% increase in racist abuse alone during 2018-19. Racism will never stop," says Gibbs-White. I think because racism is talked about a lot more, this is what racist people thrive off. They step out of line and try to create a scene or make a statement. Despite that, the 19-year-old is hopeful about the future. He adds: "With more awareness, the more it should die down.
We spoke with the players, in the next three months we will focus on what we have to do and after we will see the sentence. Personally, I will be here. Manchester City down West Ham "I want to stay to continue to help the club and maintain this level as long as possible," the Spaniard added.

Mirandes have beaten La Liga opposition in the previous three rounds of the Copa Del Rey. Real Sociedad got to this stage by beating Real Madrid 4-3 at the Bernabeu in the quarter-finals. Real Sociedad forward Alexander Isak is the Copa Del Rey top goalscorer with eight goals. On the cusp of their first Copa Del Rey final since 1988, Real Sociedad take a 2-1 lead into the second leg of their semi-final with Mirandes.
Six weeks ago, they were well beaten at Chelsea, conceding three unanswered goals and dropping to their lowest point of the campaign in terms of form and league position. But as Dyche and his side have repeatedly shown, they are most dangerous with their backs to the wall and a point to prove. A haul of 13 points from the past available 15 has certainly done the trick and now, instead of worrying about the prospect of trips to Reading and Hull next season, they are dreaming again of visits to Istanbul and Athens.

When and Stuttgart will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. When this season have the following results: 6W, 7D and 12L. Meanwhile Stuttgart have 13W, 6D and 6L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
The fact City have made it through to the last 16 so regularly is perhaps why some of their attendances in the competition have been disappointing, especially in the group stage, when as top seeds they do not often get glamorous opposition. There was also a pretty flat atmosphere at Etihad Stadium against Shakhtar, which probably had a lot to do with the hosts' poor performance - but sometimes players need some help to get themselves going on nights like that.

I would be doing myself, my family and my community an injustice if I didn't stand here today with my voice and my platform and ask you for help. Around 1. England are eligible for free school meals and a survey by the Food Foundation in May said that more than 200,000 children have had to skip meals because their family could not access enough food during lockdown. Ten years ago, I would have been one of those children, and you would never have heard my voice and seen my determination to become part of the solution," said Rashford.
Piatek scored 22 goals in his debut season in Serie A last year - 13 for Genoa and nine for Milan - but he had only managed four this season. Hertha are 13th in the Bundesliga and their new striker could make his debut on Friday night at home to Schalke. AnalysisBBC World Service's John BennettIt's been a whirlwind 18 months for Piatek. He moved to Genoa in the summer of 2018 and four goals on his debut were a sign of things to come as he went on to find the back of the net 13 times in just 19 league appearances for the club.
John Stones continues to be accident prone. The fall that led to Anwar El Ghazi crossing for Mbwana Samatta's goal - which gave Villa hope - was unlucky, but these things seem to happen to the 25-year-old defender a lot. Fortunately for City, no harm was done and this was a cup won with midfielder Kevin de Bruyne, as good as anyone in his position in the world, on the bench for an hour, along with the players of the quality of Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez, while the outstanding goalkeeper Ederson handed over his place to Bravo in the tradition of this tournament.
With three matches left to play in the Bundesliga 3rd league hallescher find themselves in 15th position, level on points with chemnitzer in 16th and three points clear of the relegation zone. They have all to play for in this game as any mistake from them might get them relegated. In their last match they lost to 1860 Munich two goals to one in a match they ought to have gotten something. It's a do or die situation for them now and they have to win convincingly against the worst team In the league. Carl Zeiss have been super poor this season with just 19 points to show for this season so I don't really want to talk much on them.
The match was one of five Serie A games which were allowed to go ahead with spectators between Feb. March 2 by the Italian government but Liguria head Giovanni Toti said he did not want to take any unnecessary risks. The death toll from an outbreak of coronavirus in Italy has risen to 34, five more than a day earlier, officials said on Sunday, while the number of confirmed cases was 1,694.
I'm not absolutely aware of what the situation is, so we'll see. The idea of bringing in experience is something I'm certainly not absolutely looking away from, because sometimes the young players need a little bit of help, and if that's the case then that may help us. Frank Lampard: Chelsea manager suggests Blues need new attackersManchester United have also been linked with Cavani, who has scored a total of 351 goals in 577 club games, plus another 50 from 116 caps with Uruguay.
Every one of these three defeats have come away from home as well, and Steve Bruce looks well on his way to turning St James’ Park into something of a fortress. The Magpies haven’t lost a league game at home since their opening day defeat to Arsenal, and even that was a rather undeserved 1-0 win for the Gunners. Four wins and four draws have been played out since then, including a victory against Man Utd and a draw with Man City.
The FIGC has called an emergency meeting for Tuesday. Following the conclusion of the first game, which SPAL won 1-0, the AIC reiterated in a statement its belief that football must be stopped as soon as possible. The signals that the sporting institutions are sending out are terrible. It's dangerous to travel to and from the red zones, it's dangerous to play football, it's dangerous to shake hands.
I'd like to see a strong, box to box, midfielder added to the squad. We thought we had strengthened well with the loan capture of Drinkwater but for one reason or another it didn't quite work out as planned. As for names, is there a young Paul Scholes or Steven Gerrard available anywhere?The squad is not the youngest and changes are going to have to be made sooner rather than later, but in this window I wouldn't consider it a good idea for any of our players to leave.
Games in France were already to be played behind closed doors after a ban on all gatherings of more than 1,000 people to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Coronavirus' impact on sport - timelineLFP's board of directors is set to meet again after Uefa's meeting on Tuesday, which will discuss the postponement of all domestic and European competitions, including Euro 2020. Uefa announced on Friday that all European club competitions, including the Champions League and Europa League, due to be played on 17 and 18 March had been postponed.
That prediction lends itself to our correct score prediction which sees Brisbane just edging things with a 2-1 win. There isn’t enough between the two sides to see a bigger victory for the home side but they should have enough in attack, with the likes of O’Donovan and O’Shea beginning to find their feet in Fowler’s system, to pick up the three points with a slender win.
Not many would have predicted a top-five finish for Livi, maybe not even Livi fans. Livingston had the best home record outwith the Old Firm in the PremiershipSt Johnstone didn't win any of their first nine league matches and were joint bottom in early December, but Tommy Wright did what Tommy Wright does and got them the hell out of danger. In the end they were only a point behind Hibernian and they had a game in hand, too.

Karim Benzema became Real Madrid's fifth all-time leading goalscorer with a double in a victory over Valencia, which closed the gap on league leaders Barcelona to two points. Benzema, 32, has now netted 243 goals in all competitions for Real, overtaking Ferenc Puskas' tally. Ex-Chelsea forward Eden Hazard set up his first goal on the hour before Benzema scored a stunning late volley. Substitute Marco Asensio scored Real's second with his first touch.
There is a time for everything in football and players need to know when and when not to play. It would seem that Newcastle failed to observe that basic rule against Leicester City. Florian Lejeune should be docked a week's wages for playing the ball across his own 18-yard box, the result of which cost his team the first goal and ultimately the match. Did you know? Since the start of last season, Leicester's James Maddison has scored eight Premier League goals from outside of the box; more than any other player.

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has had his contract extended for a further two years until June 2022. The 54-year-old Italian took the role in October and his initial deal expired at the end of this season. But the former Lazio and Inter Milan manager has taken AC Milan to fifth in the Serie A table, on course to qualify for next season's Europa League. I am happy and proud of the trust I have received from AC Milan,” said Pioli.
Given the form the hosts have displayed in the run up to this fixture, it is hard to make an arguement for them coming away from this match with a positive result. They have lost each of their last seven league matches and concede so frequently it seems like they simply do not know how to defend. When you factor in the strength Woking have shown on their travels and the good form they find themselves in, then backing an away win looks to be the way to go.
However, Woodward said it was now shielding them from the scale of difficulties being experienced by some of their top-flight rivals as they are continuing to pay their players and staff, in addition to making a number of significant financial gestures to fans and the local community. Woodward said "30,000 items of food and drink" had been given to local charities in addition to the £100,000 joint donation to the Trussell Trust with Manchester City "for use by 19 food banks across Greater Manchester".
Because the rules are not the best, we have another game, in a break in the season," said Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl, who has managed in the German Bundesliga. I don't understand this but, OK, we have to do it. It's for us not perfect but we must accept it. Spurs and Liverpool will have 11 days off instead of two weeks. If Newcastle have to play their replay at Oxford on 4 February, three days after a Premier League game against Norwich, they will only have 12 days off before their trip to Arsenal.
Brighton chief executive Paul Barber says the Premier League is not ignoring the plight of the general population during the coronavirus pandemic. At a Premier League meeting on Friday, it was decided to extend indefinitely the date for the season's resumption. But Barber says the wish to finish the season is not being driven by finance. When you start seeing 400, 500 or 600 people dying in a day in the country you live in, you should be shocked by that," he said.
HEROES AND ZEROES Hero: Serge Gnabry William the Conqueror. Samuel Pepys. Charles Dickens. Welcome your newest inductee into the London Hall of Fame. The German further cemented himself in capital folklore with two goals against Chelsea on Tuesday, adding to the four he struck against Spurs. Arsenal's greatest ever player? Definitely.
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.

If he were frozen out that might change his mind. It seems that unless a monster offer is made in the upcoming transfer window then he will stay put in Germany for the foreseeable future.

For those looking to get financially involved in this fixture, 'Under 2.5 Goals' looks a reasonable bet at the prices. Given that neither side has thrived offensively in their respective home and away games, a low-scoring game could easily be shorter in the betting. Rochdale have scored an average of just 0.89 goals at home this term, while Portsmouth have scored an average of just 0.86 on their travels. Moreover, neither side has conceded goals by the bucket load, shipping average of just 1.22 and 1.29.
At this point Barca looked to be in control, but Isak made the most of a Tea Stegen mistake, palming a cross out into the six-yard box for the Swedish striker to smash home. The point puts Ernesto Valverde’s side top of La Liga, but Real Madrid can go clear ahead of next week’s Clasico with a win over Valencia on Sunday.
Wolves made a decent job of hol;ding Liverpool off until Mane’s somewhat controversial 42nd minute goal which was allowed despite a possible handball by Adam Lallana. The visitors fought back to equalise thanks to a wonderful finish by Pedro Neto, but that goal was disallowed as the Portuguese was ruled offside and the Wolves boss was himself given a yellow card for his spirited response.
