Great fun, obviously, even if we couldn't help feeling a little concerned about the long-term viability of this approach. Valencia, 4-4 at home to Ajax. A defence made of the spaces between people, and a goalkeeper who always looks very, very stressed. They should have too much for Lille in their final group game, but if they're in anything like this shape when the knockouts roll around, they're going to get pulverised by one of Europe's bigger boys.
The former Real Sociedad defender, 24, joined Real Madrid in 2018 but has played only four La Liga matches this season. Following internal discussions, we agreed to follow the wishes of head coach Hansi Flick in strengthening the defence and decided to go for Alvaro Odriozola,” Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said in a statement.
The suspects had left the scene before officers arrived. There have been no arrests and inquiries continue. Vertonghen is the latest footballer to be targeted by criminals. In December burglars broke into the London home of Crystal Palace defender, Mamadou Sakho, reportedly stealing valuables worth more than £500,000. Arsenal footballers Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac were attacked by carjackers in July 2019, while Liverpool forward Sadio Mane had his house burgled while he was playing in a Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich in February 2019.
I don't know when I'm going to find a match. The second transplant will be quicker [to recover from]. The first one, I was in hospital for a week - it took me about four to six months to get back to football. The second one, I know what I'm doing so I will get back quicker. I need a transplant as soon as possible. When it drops down to 15% [functionality] that's when you really need one. A few months back I was quite ill and that's when it dropped below 15% and that's when the NHS said I needed one.
The hosts responded well and drew level when Miguel Almiron converted Emil Krafth's low cross from close range. Substitute Andriy Yarmolenko - whose goal sealed victory over the Blues on Wednesday - came closest to finding another late winner, but his stinging strike was well kept out by Martin Dubravka. West Ham remain 16th in the table and move four points clear of the relegation zone after ending their run of seven consecutive away defeats in the top flight, while Newcastle stay 12th.
Wigan's recent run of form is a massive cause for concern coming into Saturday's game and the hosts simply cannot buy a win at the moment. All in all, they've not won any of their last 9 fixtures and having fell to defeat in 6 of said matches, confidence can't be high coming into this fixture
Mahrez has a French admirer - Euro Papers Garay one of five Valencia personnel to test positive for coronavirus The players, led by manager Renato Portaluppi, walked out of the tunnel to play Sao Luiz and lined up before the game wearing white masks over their faces. This protest by the players to take the field wearing masks makes implicit our support for the championship to be halted," Paulo Luz, Gremio's director of football, said in quotes reported by Brazilian website UOL.
Their defensive performance is impressive and will improve further if goalkeeper David de Gea can recapture his best form. By contrast, Tottenham will be encouraged by their ruthlessness in front of goal, but need more ammunition from their creative players. Spurs can also point to an unusually high concession rate from the big chances they have faced - something Hugo Lloris' return from injury should help improve.

When it comes to records, trophies and personal awards, what hasn't Lionel Messi achieved?Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, he has won 10 La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues and the Copa del Rey on six occasions. And it's probably worth mentioning that he knows a thing or two about finding the back of the net. But how well do you know the Argentina and Barcelona superstar? Try our quiz and find out.
If Odense have been good at home, then Midtjylland have been outstanding on the road. Not only are the league leaders without a travelling defeat this season, but they've won seven out of eight. Offensively, while useful, they've not been extraordinarily good, notching 13, though what they have done is give little away. In eight away games, Monday's visitors have conceded just two goals.

Regular listeners to That Peter Crouch podcast will be well aware that one manager in particular has featured more than any other. Crouch's seven years at Stoke City were largely overseen by Tony Pulis - or as co-host Chris Stark would say, Tony Poolis. But what does TP make of that pronunciation? Why does he always wear a cap? And how did he find out about Rory Delap's long throw? All is revealed on this week's show.
He had come on to the pitch and I was thinking 'here we go. Mercifully, Mrs Malpas recovered - "she was fine but Billy Thomson got stopped for speeding after picking me up" - and her boy was able to travel for the second leg. Jupp Heynckes' Borussia had not lost a European game at home in 54 games, spanning 17 years, and had done for Rangers earlier in the competition, but United again defended stoutly and this time scored through Ferguson and Ian Redford to earn a place in the final.
Fifpro is alarmed that there has been no consultation with players' representatives about the schedules they will be facing. In addition to the winter break, it wants a minimum three-week break between seasons for players, followed by a retraining period. A mandatory mid-season break of between 10 and 14 days is more important than ever during what will be a highly-congested match schedule for many players over the next two to three years," outlined Fifpro.
It's always tough to come here and win, and we've done it with a young team as well. I have a lot of faith in them. I think they are developing really well. They are willing and hungry and will only get better. We analyse opponents and try to generate situations that are favourable for our players. I was worried with their history in the last few weeks we would concede in the last few minutes. Our history with this cup is massive for the club.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson lifted the Premier League trophy on the Kop at an empty Anfield to mark the club's first top-flight triumph for 30 years. Henderson received the trophy from Reds legend Sir Kenny Dalglish, who was manager when Liverpool last won it in 1990, during a spectacular ceremony after the champions beat Chelsea 5-3 on Wednesday. Liverpool were confirmed as champions of England on 25 June with seven games to spare when nearest rivals Manchester City lost at Chelsea, but they had to wait until their final home game of the season to be presented with the trophy.
The hosts are progressing towards their goal of survival, with an eight-point lead over the drop zone. Picking up their results at home would be a major boost, especially given the quality of some of the sides towards the bottom. Pep Clotet’s men seem to be making positive steps towards that, as they are firing in goals. The Blues have scored twice or more in each of their last four at home.
They were given soap, pillows and mosquito repellent and were led into court on Saturday in handcuffs. Sunday was visiting day at the prison and Globoesporte said the brothers remained inside their cell to avoid the attention of families and children visiting the other inmates. Ronaldinho, who was last year named a tourist ambassador by Brazil's far-right government, was invited to Paraguay by a local casino owner and arrived on Wednesday to take part in a soccer clinic for children and a book launch.
However, I must admit the France international has handled both United's festive fixtures with a certain authority. Watching the way he collected the ball from Andreas Pereira and slotted the pass into the Burnley net with such confidence, I may have to review my position. Did you know? Martial has scored more Premier League goals (41) and had more goal involvements (61) than any other Manchester United player since his debut in September 2015.
He was the only natural midfielder in red with defenders Greg Leigh and Zac Vyner again providing company, and he was the main driving force, burrowing his way through the middle on numerous occasions. But ahead of him he found Cosgrove having an off day, and James Wilson, who had not scored since Aberdeen's last visit to Easter Road in May.
One of the other absent submissions came from Hearts, who it turned out were voting no, but had to resend due a technical issue. All this came after Rangers' alternative proposal was officially rejected for being legally "ineffective" amid claims from the Ibrox club of "numerous reports" of "attempts to coerce and bully" other teams to back the SPFL plans.

The Blues have claimed just 32% of their points away from home this term. However, they have boosted that with back to back draws on their travels ahead of this week. The Blues have drawn three on the spin in the league, while we can see that continuing here. Two of the last three meetings between these two here in the Championship have finished 0-0 and we’re backing a repeat.
What did surprise me was that I had never come up against a coach as intense as him. It was like: 'Wow. I said to him: 'Come on, do me a favour - we've not touched the ball for 40 minutes and you're asking for a throw in. Can we at least have that?'"'Some managers walk right past you. Pep was the opposite'And yet Guardiola also left a lasting impression on Robinson and everyone else at Oxford United with his demeanour - in sharp contrast to an encounter with former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal in the same competition.
Members of Vale's first-team squad each contributed a minimum £10 to pay for Christmas drinks for the non-playing staff. When 21-year-old midfielder Jake Taylor, who is on loan from Nottingham Forest, had his car broken into and all four wheels stolen in November, the owners quickly organised a new temporary vehicle for him. Port Vale haven't sent out Christmas cards for years so this year we got 500 printed and signed by every player and backroom staff," added Carol.

I learned at big clubs that when they win a trophy, they go to take a shower and then they think about the next. It's so nice what we have done in the last three years but tomorrow we have another 'final'," Guardiola told reporters. Away in the FA Cup is always difficult, for the fact how important this competition is for clubs in England.
However, Southampton will travel to the King Power Stadium for the rematch in much better looking shape. The Saints' 2-0 win over Huddersfield in their cup assignment last weekend stretched their recent unbeaten streak to five matches, and Southampton were beaten just twice in 10 matches overall.
While MK Dons’ home form has been appalling, Rotherham have been ticking along nicely on their travels. Saturday’s visitors come into this fixture having claimed more away points than all but one team in the division, winning five, drawing one and losing two of their eight travelling matches. The Millers have won each of their last three away games in League 1, scoring nine and conceding just one in the process. Such efforts should mean that they come into this fixture feeling confident.
We won't be helping football if the wealth we generate goes straight to the big clubs. If leagues in places such as eastern Europe or Greece have financial problems it will lead to the collapse of our industry. Creating new competitions is not the answer as the money will not benefit grassroots football, it will go to 10 or 15 major clubs.
A sociable, humble guy with 'a very big heart'While Ziyech's talent led to caps at Under-19, Under-20 and Under-21 levels for the Netherlands, he switched allegiance to Morocco in 2015 and helped them reach the World Cup finals in Russia in 2018. However, fans in Morocco are yet to place him on the same pedestal as some of the country's legendary players. He is not seen as the ultimate star yet," says Moroccan journalist Jalal Bounouar.
TALKING POINT VAR, what else? Here we are again. Three times in one Premier League match day the dreaded VAR offside lines have been out to rule a goalscorer offside by the finest of margins. Pukki thought he had given Norwich a two-goal lead, after coming back into an onside position, but his celebrations were cut short as VAR Chris Kavanagh adjudged his armpit to be offside.
Some of my boys they haven’t had the chance to play for me in these five matches since I arrived.

We didn't perform like we should have and Watford performed exactly how they want. There were, of course, negatives within Liverpool's performance that contributed to the defeat. Dejan Lovren made his first Premier League start since 7 December as Joe Gomez missed out because of a minor fitness concern and the Croatia international looked rusty as he struggled to deal with the pace and trickery of Ismaila Sarr, who twice got the better of the Reds to score.
After 8 games without a win, Kaiserslautern won 1-0 at Magdeburg and is now 4 points ahead of the relegation places. Magdeburg was not a sophisticated side as well and that win implies nothing significant. The team are on the safe zone now But that is by no means a pillow of rest in the tightness of the league. The 1800s also won 3-2 at home against league leaders Duisburg and so the Munich are on the auto promotion zone with only 2 points behind leaders Duisburg. Points must also be scored here, I expect a draw. Kaiserslautern for me might be able to win this game but the draw is possible given their performance in this ground. Kaiserslautern played 8 draws in this field and for this reason I think another draw is on the way. Kaiserslautern for me is a good home team although they don't win, but the defense keeps things tight.
We will see the effect of coronavirus on Thursday night, when Inter Milan take on Ludogorets in the Europa League behind closed doors at the San Siro.
