Xavi says he turned down the offer to manage his former club Barcelona last week because the opportunity came "too early" in his coaching career. The former Spain midfielder has been Al Sadd's boss since his playing career ended with the Qatari club in May. He said Barcelona chief executive Oscar Grau and sporting director Eric Abidal offered him the manager's job before sacking Ernesto Valverde on Monday.
Ferguson resented the cultural cringe that has been a part of English football throughout the Premier League era, and raged against the idea that European football was intrinsically superior. For most of the 1990s, however, he had to accept it was presently superior. English teams were out of their depth in the new Champions League, and United had an extended adolescence in the tournament: humiliated in 1993-94 and 1994-95, intrepid semi-finalists in 1996-97 and frustrated quarter-finalists a year later.
Dundee's words won't have been much of a balm to those left to pick up the pieces in the wake of their vote that never was. Dundee's behaviour shredded the credibility of the vote. By Wednesday morning even avowed Yes supporters acknowledged that the integrity of the resolution was shot to smithereens and needed replacing by something new. The SPFL board ploughed on and got the result they were looking for.
Busan is one of the 4 teams that have not yet won a game. With 2 drawers and 2 defeats it is currently 10th place, whereby at home eight has been played fairly 1-2 against leaders Jeonbuk and 0-0 against Suwon. Sangju will change location next season thanks to the franchise system and will be relegated, but the team is still mixing well and has put up a 2-1-1 record so far. The form is good, in last 3, last there were 2 wins and a draw. Busan has good home form. At home I think the team will get at least one point.
Paderborn are already relegated from the Bundesliga and have been by far the worst team in the league. They won only 4 games this season and with 68 goals in 32 matches they also conceded the most goals. At home they have looked very poor in the last weeks losing with 1-6 to Dortmund and 1-5 to Werder Bremen.
Meanwhile, St Etienne's Europa League campaign simply hasn't got to plan. The French outfit came into the group looking like having a reasonable chance of advancing from it but haven't won any of their 5 games thus far, frustratingly drawing 4 times in the process.
West Brom are unbeaten in their last four home league games. QPR have only won one of their last four away league matches. QPR's win over Millwall on Saturday ended a run of one point from three league games. West Brom have kept three clean sheets in their last four home league fixtures. West Brom won the reverse fixture 2-0.
Sparta Prag are at home against Ceske Budejovice in Czech Republic 1 League. Sparta Prag are in 5th position with 25 points from 16 matches, scoring 30 goals against 21, they are eager to remain in the position for the Champions Group and for that winning this game is another trials for them because any lost of point will bring their quest for qualifying for Champions Groups at the end of the season to question. Ceske Budejovice are in 8th position with 23 points from 16 matches, scoring 26 goals against 26, they concede goals and scores equivalently, so I believe on 2.5 goals over here.
Hosts are a big relegation candidate in the league as they have just 13 points won so far this season and are 6 points away from the first safety zone but this while at home they hold a record of just 2-3-6 so far this season but have not won a game in the league for more than a month right now, they have 5 losses and just a draw in their last 6 games played by them and 3 losses in a row in the league in home games right now and they did score just 7 times in 11 home games while conceding 18 goals.
Melbourne City have struggled in recent weeks but their games have certainly been entertaining this season with the 2.5 goal line being beaten in 12 of their 13 games and the 3.5 goal line being beaten in seven of those. City have been poor defensively though, keeping a clean sheet in just two games this season.

Seven of the 11 Liverpool players on the pitch at the end of the game were teenagers. How did they get on?The young Reds actually made a very impressive start and could have found themselves 2-0 up inside the first 10 minutes but for some excellent goalkeeping. Elliott was particularly impressive and had an early shot tipped over by Orjan Nyland before putting an other effort into the side netting shortly after Nyland kept out Kane's powerful drive.
The Mexican league is decided by a play-off final and Club America were set to lose the 2013 title to Cruz Azul until Moises Munoz came forward and scored a diving header. Granted it took a big deflection and some places have counted it as an own goal, but not us. For good measure he saved a penalty in the shootout as his team won the championship. Keeper scores late equaliser in Mexican final (Part Two) Alfredo Frausto scored a late equaliser and netted the winner in the shootoutThis one had so many similarities with the last goal, we considered whether Alfredo Frausto and Moises Munoz should share an entry but no, let’s not be those guys.

Taichung and Red Lions will face each other in the upcoming match in the Taiwan Premier League. Taichung this season have the following results: 2W, 3D and 0L. Meanwhile Red Lions have 0W, 0D and 5L. This season both these had some high scoring matches already.
Boca Juniors have a good run ahead of this match but they have really struggled away in the Copa Libertadores lately. Still we feel they will be favorites here, based on Caracas’ form in the competition. Caracas have six losses in 10 Libertadores matches and just one clean sheet in 10 home matches in this competition. With the shaky away record for Boca Juniors, we see this clash ending in a draw.

Saka takes a touch, plays a delicious ball across the six yard box that cuts out all of the Olympiacos defenders and Lacazette taps home. WHAT A SAVE! Arsenal break quickly from a corner, and it's implausibly five on two. Xhaka brilliantly eads the charge and they work it to Lacazette, whose stinging shot from 18 yards is turned wide by Sa.
Moreover, although they've got forward troubles, since Hill took over, Bolton have often kept it respectable on the road, conceding more than two goals in just one of their last six away games, and that was mainly because they went down to ten men early doors.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has called on the Spanish club's fans to stop booing Gareth Bale. The Wales forward received a mixed reception coming on as a substitute in a 3-1 win over Real Sociedad. It was his first Real appearance in seven weeks after his controversial 'Wales. Golf. Madrid' flag celebration in Cardiff. There is too much noise with Bale. He wants to be with us and do it well," said Zidane.
Plans to resume the league have been labelled 'Project Restart'. The league is hopeful of a potential 8 June restart and finishing at the end of July to fit in with Uefa's European competition plans. This would require full training to begin by 18 May. The league would also need up to 40,000 tests for players and staff if plans to play the outstanding games behind closed doors are pursued. On Friday, after their most recent meeting by video conference, Premier League clubs reiterated a commitment to resuming the season "when safe and appropriate to do so".
Essentially, Real have become far more compact, leaving less space for opponents to exploit and working together with a collective determination to protect their goal. In contrast to the cavalier style of recent years, which always left them vulnerable, they are now perfectly balanced and very difficult to score against. As a result, they boast the best defensive record in La Liga, having conceded just 23 goals in 37 league games - almost halving the number of goals they allowed in the previous two campaigns (46 last season, 44 in 2017-18).
Levante ended 2019 in great nick following back to back La Liga wins against Granada (1-2) and Celta Vigo (3-1), and they were a shade unfortunate to kick-off the New Year with a 2-1 defeat against 3rd placed Atletico Madrid on Matchday 19.

Last season, Value successfully defended the title of Iceland champion. It is the 16th league title in the history of this team. As a result, Value continued to attend the first qualifying round of the Champions League 2019/20. Last year, Value was eliminated by Norway's Rosenborg in the first qualifying round and must go down to the second qualifying round of the Europa League. However, Valur's journey only reached the third qualifying round.
Read the full story Brahim wants to stay at Real Real Madrid youngster Brahim Diaz has been linked with a move away from the club after a year since his move from Manchester City. He played for Real as a sub for Gareth Bale against Unionistas de Salamanca and scored twice, making just his 16th appearance.
With growth has come change: in 1992 the European Cup grew into the Champions League. In 1971 the Uefa Cup replaced the Fairs Cup, only to be reformatted again as the Europa League in 2009. The Cup Winners' Cup has been consigned to history, and in 2021 Uefa's new Europa Conference League is due to begin. For 65 years planes, trains and automobiles have transported players, fans and reporters across borders from Reykjavik to Rijeka, from Tromso to Tbilisi, with barely a pause - until now.

Inter have benefited a lot from a good defence this season; in the Serie A, they have the joint best defence. They have also been good in attack; they have the third best attack in the league with 42 goals. Romelu Lukaku and Argentine Javier Martinez have been very key in attack, scoring a combined 24 in Serie A already.

Energetyk-BDU will against BATE in match Belarusian Premier League. My prediction this match could be the won for BATE only with margin 1 goal. BATE have great result on last 3 match in head to head with Ynergetyk-BDU due to BATE always won for the all match. Moreover BATE have won with score 1-2, 0-4 and 4-1. Even though, I think on this match that BATE can beat with score previously due to Ynergetyk-BDU have better result in International Club friendly. Surely Ynergetyk-BDU will do resistance to beat BATE. Moreover Ynergetyk-BDU will played this match in the home and surely they will not lose more than 1 goal.

Heart eyes emoji* 09:15 - Arteta 'completely recovered' We open with some much needed good news, which is that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says he has "completely recovered" following his positive test for Covid-19 in early March. Read the full story here. Good morning! Welcome back to our rolling coverage of the latest developements in sport during the global coronavirus pandemic.

Sandra, Merseyside: What an utter, utter VARce!! The 'rule' is ridiculous and needs to be changed. Hardly a clear, deliberate handball! You just can't celebrate a goal any more. Lewis, Leicester: You know the games gone when Dean Henderson is celebrating VAR on his Twitter. Football is currently coming second after VAR. Our sport is a joke at the minute. I seriously would rather watch the Championship than the Premier League, where football is football and nothing else.
Megan Rapinoe of the United States has won Women's Ballon d'Or for 2019, with England's Lucy Bronze the runner-up. Winger Rapinoe, 34, co-captained the US to victory at this summer's World Cup, where she was named player of the tournament and finished joint-top scorer with six goals. Bronze, 28, the Uefa Women's Player of the Year, played a key part in England's run to the semi-finals. Rapinoe's compatriot Alex Morgan came third in the Ballon d'Or ranking.
Its hard to find much between these two teams apart though and, for that reason, we’re predicting a 2-2 scoreline meaning each team leaves with a point. Western Sydney have been in poor form but have the better side overall whilst Wellington Phoenix have the current form to be able to take something from the game.
Noble stepped up confidently to put away the penalty - which was given after minimal contact from Ndidi on Sebastien Haller in the box - and Manuel Lanzini came close to an equaliser when he almost poked in a loose ball from Michail Antonio's rebounded flick. Leicester rode the simmering pressure and began to settle again - Iheanacho and James Maddison being denied before Perez eventually thumped in the third goal from the spot after Angelo Ogbonna's clumsy tackle on Iheanacho.
I have to say that I like the odds for the away win to happen here in this one as even last season the guests won here with 2-1 in the end and in this start of the season after 14 games played so far in the league they are 3rd placed with a record of 8-3-3 but 5 of those 8 wins for them came in 6 away games where they have a record of 5-0-1 so far and are really a promotion candidate this season.
The decisions by Manchester United and Everton to explore the possibility of safe standing were welcomed by their respective supporters' groups. Liverpool have historically said their supporters' position on the issue is "uniquely complex". Fans who visited Celtic's stadium to witness safe standing in action last year said they found the experience "overwhelmingly positive". A petition calling for the introduction of safe standing signed by more than 112,000 people in 2018 prompted then sports minister Tracey Crouch to commission an official review.
