For me the stadium was completely green - the colour of St Etienne. It felt like an away game. The St Etienne team is pictured before flying to Glasgow to face Bayern Munich'Glorious failure' Les Verts would need all the help they could get from their fans - they would have to start the game without their talisman Dominique Rocheteau, who was injured and had to spend most of the game of the bench. Nonetheless, St Etienne would dominate much of the tense tie.
This is because there are big concerns within the game as to how smaller clubs in particular are going to be able to cope with the massive drop-off in revenue that suspension has caused. The report also adds that there is a growing expectation that whatever format the latter stages of the Champions League take the final is likely to be played behind closed doors.
“Blue Garnet” has already held three matches under the leadership of Kike Seten, and while the game of the Catalans leaves a double impression. On the one hand, they have no problems with ball control and playing, on the other hand, the realization of the moments, as well as their creation, sometimes causes Barca problems, and if you look at their latest results, this only confirms: first the Setena team with difficulty, they defeated the middle peasant in Granada 1-0 at Camp Nou, then they beat the club from Segunda B to Ibiza with even greater difficulty, having won a strong-willed victory 2-1 in compensated time, and lost to Valencia for a snack, 0-2.
And Jock used to berate me every time he saw me outside because he thought the sun would kill the wee ginger guy - never mind the fact I might have to acclimatise to play three games in it!"

In 2011, the Scot returned to the club in a coaching role with the academy before working his way up to the first team where he has been part of the backroom staff under several managers. Osman, an old team-mate of Ferguson, says even though he does not expect the 47-year-old former striker to be given the job permanently, a good performance against Chelsea could give the Toffees hierarchy some breathing space as they consider their next move.
Football in Italy should be suspended and currently "makes no sense" for it to continue amid the increased risk of coronavirus, says the country's sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora. Last week, Italy's government said all sport in the country would be played behind closed doors until 3 April. But Spadafora supported calls from the president of Italy's players' union (AIC) for football to be suspended.

Wolves v Olympiakos an 'unnecessary risk'Until now, UK domestic football had not followed other European nations in postponing fixtures, holding matches behind closed doors, or capping attendances. All sport in Italy has been suspended until at least 3 April because of coronavirus, but this does not include Italian clubs or national teams participating in international competitions. The first leg of Manchester United's Europa League last-16 tie at LASK on Thursday will be played behind closed doors, as will Chelsea's Champions League last-16 tie at Bayern Munich on 18 March.

On taking the Betis job, Setien revealed in an interview with El Periodico that despite his love for football he didn't really understand it "until I saw the football of Johan Cruyff". It was with coaches like him when I began to get it," he continued. When to touch the ball, to pass, the spaces. I try to communicate to the players, to keep the ball and to run as little as possible after it. He added he would have had his little finger cut off to be given the chance to play for one of Cruyff's sides, "not because I wanted to be a Barcelona footballer, but rather because of the way they played because I could see just how much the footballers were enjoying themselves".

Allegri seemed to fit the bill perfectly and his teams were pragmatic, versatile and resilient and intent on getting the job done quickly. But, after a relentless five years of Allegri, Juventus decided they needed more flamboyance and turned to Sarri who likes his teams to weave intricate, passing patterns at high speed through opposing defences.
Peterborough are now without a win in five matches, three of which they've lost. There's been times during that spell where they've been let down at the back, but their attacking players are perhaps the biggest culprits. Posh have scored in just one of their last five matches, notching just a single goal in over 450 minutes of football. Improvements are a must.
Well Portimonense are done as far as I'm concerned for sure. They have collected only 19 points out of 25 matches during the whole season and watching their performances it doesn't look like they can do anything to save themselves.They did won Gil Vicente at the previous round but with a lot of luck.
I believe that we will see surely at least four goals in this match from Belorusian Reserve league and that is pretty clear and very real to expect, but we will see what will happen. Slutsk was just brilliant in last period with goals and this team is in last four matches in a row, played every time duels with even four or more goals. In that period, it was 4-2, 3-3, 4-0 and 5-1. Rival is playing on same level, so over is very real option in this duel. Of course, I will try that and I will bet on goals.
Bayer Leverkusen will against Borussia Dortmund in match Germany Bundesliga. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 3.5 goals due to Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund always can make score on last 3 match. Moreover Borussia Dortmund at this time have great forward like as Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho. Even though Marco Reus can't played on this match, I think this match still much score. Likewise Bayer Leverkusen have great forward like as Kevin Volland and Leon Bailey to make score anytime. Therefore, I'm predict this match could be the end score is over 3.5 goals.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on the visitors will payout on Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Basel have already beaten Thursday’s hosts in Group C but Krasnodar have improved in Europe since then and we are expecting a competitive ninety minutes in Russia. Basel are yet to lose in the group stage and have only lost two of their last eighteen matches in all competitions, and a point would be enough to book their place in the knockout stage but the visitors are more than capable of pinching a win which is why the double chance bet makes the most sense.
Another memorable 46-game Championship campaign reaches its conclusion on Wednesday, with 11 of the 12 games having something riding on them. And while West Brom, Brentford and Fulham battle to join Leeds in the Premier League, it looks like lawyers will have an impact on relegation. Hull, Barnsley and Luton are the bottom three, but Charlton, Middlesbrough and Birmingham are still not safe. And above them, Wigan, Sheffield Wednesday and Derby are at risk of points deductions that could directly affect the lower half of the table.

We'd only been promoted the season before but I think we were safe right up until the last game. Scottish Cup finalists Airdrie went down, too, despite finishing with a win at champions Rangers as well as beating a Celtic side down the stretch that was going for 10-in-a-row. Partick Thistle also fell after ending with four consecutive draws. Dumbarton, Dunfermline Athletic and Morton had already gone by the season finale.

Leicester made light of Jamie Vardy's absence due to a calf injury as Perez pounced on a poor pass across the back line from Newcastle defender Florian Lejeune and rode a tackle from Fabian Schar before slotting past Martin Dubravka in the 36th minute. Lejeune was in the spotlight for the wrong reasons again as his poor clearance found its way to Perez who fed Maddison, and the England international blasted in a left-footed shot from distance three minutes later.

Moutinho's corner cleared several players before dropping into Dendoncker's path. After that, however, the Magpies manager could have no such complaints and appeared quietly satisfied with his team's endeavour, fight and football intelligence at the final whistle. While Dubravka twice rescued Newcastle, there were also solid performances from the likes of Ciaran Clark and Sean and Matty Longstaff.
Along with Casemiro, he is the only member of the squad who doesn't have a natural replacement. A bright future? Federico Valverde, 21, has made 42 appearances for Real Madrid this seasonEven better news for Real Madrid fans is that the future looks bright. Although Ramos (34), Modric (34) and Benzema (32) are in the latter stages of their careers, the bulk of the squad is deep and relatively young and players like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Mendy and Fede Valverde should only get better.
City host Real on either 7 or 8 August, while Chelsea face Bayern Munich away. In the Europa League, Wolves will host Olympiakos and Manchester United will welcome LASK on 5 or 6 August.

The surgery will be in Innsbruck on Tuesday," said Despodov, who joined Serie A side Cagliari last year but was loaned to Austria's Sturm Graz for the 2019-20 season. According to the doctors, I'll be sidelined for up to eight weeks. The 23-year-old Despodov was voted Bulgarian Footballer of the Year in 2018.
Odds are fine for taking the over 2.5 goals bet in this one given the fact that both teams are quite weak in defense lately but at the same time scoring plenty of goals with Swindon being involved in the fight for the top 3 places that meaning direct promotion to the 3rd league level at the end of the normal season, their last visit here last season ended with them losing the game with 2-1 in the end while earlier this season at home hosting Carlisle they won the game with 3-2 so high scoring games usually between them.
He's been starved of games over the period since New Year and he deserves a recall so I thought I'd put him in there. Leaving aside the fact that it was Smith himself who was rationing Hourihane’s time on the pitch, the Irishman pretty much always impresses – he just needs to be given the chance, and you just need to watch him.
Arsenal Women have signed Switzerland international defender Noelle Maritz from German club Wolfsburg on an undisclosed-length contract. The 24-year-old had been with the German champions since 2013, helping them to five consecutive league titles. She has earned 74 senior caps and joins fellow Swiss stars Lia Walti and Malin Gut at the Women's Super League side. We’re ecstatic to have a player of Noelle’s calibre,” head coach Joe Montemurro told the club website.
Norwich sat deep, but Everton did not have the enough ideas to open them up, either in broken play or at any of their seven corners. Of their 18 shots, Everton only managed seven on target, although Cantwell's opener for Norwich roused them, with Sigurdsson trying his luck on three occasions within a few minutes. But with their next three games against Leicester, Liverpool and Chelsea coming inside the next two weeks, this defeat against the side that were the Premier League's back-markers looks like an opportunity for progress missed.
Moyes has developed plenty of young defenders as a manager too, so he might be the most compelling option for Cash.

Yet it is Tottenham's Premier League position, not their Champions League campaign, that Mourinho will be judged on at the end of the season, and Saturday's game gives Spurs a chance to nudge above Chelsea into the top four. That would be quite a feat. When he took over Tottenham were languishing in the bottom half of the table, 12 points behind Frank Lampard's side.
This adds to the winding-up order from HMRC over an unpaid VAT bill of £70,000. These developments have led Oldham to warn their players that wages will be at least a week late. Paper Round’s view: Further down the football pyramid, wages are far more in line with everyday salaries, and given the short nature of professional careers for many players, going without wages can cause serious hardship for players at Oldham’s level.
