Barcelona have become only the second side to avoid defeat in 20 consecutive Champions League group stage games (won 14, drew six), after Real Madrid between 2012 and 2017 (30 matches). Inter boss Antonio Conte has failed to progress from the group stages in two of his four Champions League seasons as a manager (also in 2013-14 with Juventus). This was Barcelona's first win away at Inter in any European competition since September 1959 in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup quarter-final (4-2).

Monfils is ranked 9th in the world and in 2019 beat Stan Wawrinka in last year’s Rotterdam final. This week he has beaten four unseeded player and like his opponent has smiled as other top seeds fell by the wayside. Monfils struggle in the ATP Cup and Australian Open. Last week though, he won the Open Sud de France but the highest ranked player beaten was Filip Krajinovic, who he also beat in Saturday’s semi-final.
Mario Vrancic could have doubled the Canaries' lead in the final seconds of the first half but the Bosnian midfielder's right-footed effort from distance was saved by Henderson diving to his left. Blades defender Chris Basham was shown a red card 16 minutes from time for a poor challenge on midfielder Kenny McLean, but he was asked to return to the pitch after the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) deemed that his tackle deserved only a yellow.

Tidy throughout and capped a fine showing with a stunning winner in a match that was looking all set to go to a replay. PLAYER RATINGS LIVERPOOL: Adrian 8, Milner 5, Gomez 8, Phillips 8, Williams 8, Lallana 7, Chirivella 8, Jones 8, Elliott 8, Minamino 6, Origi 6. Subs: Larouci 8, Oxlade-Chamberlain 7, Brewster 5.
It is unclear in the report whether the club view 22-year-old forward Gabriel Jesus as a serious replacement for Aguero. Paper Round's view: He might be getting older, but Aguero isn’t slowing up just yet so it makes sense that City are holding off making any plans to sign a new forward this summer. The Argentine striker has been nothing short of sensational at Manchester City, but all good things must eventually come to an end - and the end could be in the summer of 2021.
Everton have one win in the last five matches. None of the last 12 matches between the two sides has ended in a draw. Burnley have two wins in nine away matches. Everton have two wins in their last seven league games at home. Burnley have won the last two matches. Everton will be playing their third straight match at home, when they host Burnley in the Premier League on Boxing Day.
Henderson backed Liverpool to respond in Monday's Merseyside derby against Everton in the Premier League and take a big step towards winning their first English league title in 30 years. Liverpool need just two more wins to seal the title. Obviously we're really disappointed. Henderson told BT Sport.
When we were at Barcelona, he was in our plans. He has evolved a lot. He's a very interesting player. We are delighted with his performances. Paper Round’s view: Traore offers excellent technical ability that is hugely dangerous when coupled with his maturing approach to the game alongside his ridiculous speed.

After the break, the youngsters more than held their own but Wesley added a late fifth as Villa cruised through to the League Cup semi-finals for the first time since 2012/13. Liverpool named five debutants in a side with an average age of 19 years and 182 days, but Villa also rang the changes, with one of those inclusions, Conor Hourihane, firing a free-kick into the middle in the 14th minute, which evaded everyone and squirmed into the net under the despairing dive of Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
That story speaks volumes about how the game has changed; the sentiment behind it is very apt. Last week I suggested the north London giants should look no further than Carlo Ancelotti. Meanwhile, Everton have gone for the more experienced man. I completely understand the argument that after more than 20 years of Arsene Wenger, another advocate of the 'old school' might not have been to Arsenal's taste.
Turkey's most capped player, former goalkeeper Rustu Recber, is in a "critical period" in hospital with coronavirus. The ex-Barcelona and Fenerbahce keeper, 46, won 120 caps and was one of the players of the tournament when Turkey reached the 2002 World Cup semi-finals. We are still in shock by the sudden and rapidly developing symptoms," his wife Isil Recber said on Instagram. Isil and her two children have tested negative for the virus.
I feel in my time at Liverpool I've always looked to do the right thing for the team, the manager and the club in every decision I've made. I think this one fits into that category as well, so I'm buzzing to be seeing out this campaign and hopefully get to celebrate something memorable with an amazing group of people. Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League and are on the verge of claiming their first league title in 30 years.
The Reds hold a 25-point lead over second-placed Manchester City, who have just 30 points left to play for. No surprise then to find the Euro Club Index predicting with 100% certainty that Jurgen Klopp's side will deliver a first title to Anfield in 30 years. Not only that, but if their model is correct, the Reds will end the season with a record 102 points, beating the century that Manchester City racked up in 2017-18.
Forest Green is in 5th place with 40 points Exeter is in 2nd place with 44 points. I expect a strong match here. Both teams will look for a win here but I predict in this match a draw. Forest Green is a good team especially in home matches and they are a strong opponent for any team. Exeter is making a great season until now and they are between candidates for the promotion and I see them fighting for a win here but also both teams don't want to lose this match. Both teams have qualities and will be a hard match for Exeter but however I predict a draw here.
As a director you are guaranteed to get into the players' heads. As a leader you find a way into their hearts. The fact is that at Barcelona now, the leader is Messi and the coach's job at the club is to direct proceedings so they can get the best out of him. Real Madrid v Barcelona: The key questions in Sunday's pivotal El ClasicoThere is a perception that Messi is merely a guy who does marvellous things with the ball.
Richarlison has scored 15 goals so far this season - 14 of those coming in the Premier League - an impressive return in a difficult campaign for Everton in which they had looked in danger of being involved in a relegation battle before Ancelotti's arrival in December. A full pre-season working with the Italian and the Brazilian has a real chance of developing into a 20-goals-a-season striker next term.

Blues boss Frank Lampard said before the match that Abraham was still suffering some pain in his hip, yet worked tirelessly throughout in a physical battle against muscular Villa centre-backs Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa. After showing exceptional awareness and composure to tee up Mount's winner, he was unfortunate not to score another himself - clipping wide of the left-hand post and being hustled out of a close-range chance by Mings - before departing to a standing ovation with seven minutes left.
Nantes have won their last two away games but generally have been quite poor on the road with just four victories in their ten matches on the road this season. Most of these wins came against extremely beatable opponents such as relegation contenders Amiens and Nîmes as well as the aforementioned 2-0 beating of fifth-tier Bayonne. Against even slightly better teams like Bordeaux (0-2) and Strasbourg (1-2) they have struggled so it will be a challenge here as they travel to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
Coppack is again unworried. I’m going to be drunk for three straight months when it happens anyway,” he laughs. We’ll have our party when it’s safe to enjoy it. Coppack also has a message for rival fans who think the interruption in the season somehow undermines Liverpool’s achievement. If they want to believe the ‘tainted title’ talk, they are delusional.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich paid £247m into the club last season but it still made an overall loss of £96. According to Chelsea's 2018-19 accounts, they paid out £26. Antonio Conte and his backroom staff in July 2018. The club has now spent £90m in compensation to sacked managers since Abramovich took charge in 2004. Chelsea's wage bill also increased by £41m in 2019 despite not playing in the Champions League.

Brighton squandered promising first-half chances with Mooy and Leandro Trossard firing high, and lacked the creativity to unsettle the visitors' massed defence. Brighton brought on top scorer Neil Maupay for Dan Burn at the start of the second half and later turned to overhead-kick specialist Jahanbakhsh, who eventually made an unexpected difference.
He's damaged his ankle ligaments badly. He's been excellent this season. He's been one of our best players, in my opinion, so it's bad news for all of us," Bruce said. Andy [Carroll] isn't going to make it but Jonjo has trained for the last 10 days or so. Javier Manquillo is back as well so it's good to see them back.
Another match where we should not see much goals or this should be a match where nothing special happens. Both teams are fighting at the bottom at the league to avoid relegation and as this is a direct duel between two teams that can be relegated I don't think that any of the coaches will want to risk anything and will force too much as this is a high value match. Both teams are mostly playing tight and even matches this season and the same goals when they are playing each other.I don't see any winner here. All I see is one boring match.
As for this tie, I am going for the Blades to win on penalties, but Arsenal's problems will not be over by a long shot even if they do get through. Lawro's prediction: 1-1 AET - Sheff Utd to win on pensAlex's prediction: I'm going for a 1-1 draw, partly because I've done my research and that is the most popular result - 11% of all games finish 1-1 - but also because this is tough to call - both teams have lost a bit of momentum.
We don't want to be in the focal point of the coronavirus outbreak, we don't need that. We have also asked the (Spanish) federation to demand the suspension. Spain on Tuesday decided to cancel all direct flights from Italy -- though not to Italy -- for two weeks in a bid to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

The season break came out of time for Lok Zagreb, because with 5 wins in a row they jump to 3rd place. Osijek is fifth place, had a small phase of weakness (0-1-2) before the break and is now 4 points behind the hosts. So much does not separate the two teams. Lok Zagreb won a competitive win in the cup. A very important match for both teams. Zagreb is in very good form and they also perform very well at their stadium. If they win, it will strengthen their place in the Europa league zone. The guests are right under the Europa league zone and if they win they will make a big step in the fight for the Europa league.
For all his titles and incomparable statistics, Ronaldo sometimes appears to have an overbearing presence on a team, displaying a body language that often suggests impatience with less gifted and less experienced team mates. He also insists on taking every penalty and free kick despite a remarkably poor success rate from the latter.

Assuming that mid-May is a reasonable time to start training again (which is far from certain), and allowing a couple of weeks for players to get some sharpness back (which doesn’t quite seem enough), that gives us an end date of [counts on fingers] late July? Hey, it’s something to aim for. But the Warm-Up suspects that at the very least, it might lead to a delay in getting 2020/21 going.
There’s a real clash of styles on Sunday in Serie A, as returning giants Fiorentina take their attacking style to a solid, newly-promoted Verona side. The hosts have managed some decent results so far, but they come into this one with a few warning signs that they could struggle to match a team who have found new life in attack after making-over their forward line.
