At the other end: nothing. Nothing at all, with a great and terrible intensity. Liverpool, currently 25 points clear of the entire nation of England and already qualified for next season’s Champions League, had 73% of the ball and managed precisely zero shots on target. Their much vaunted front three made little impression on Atleti’s well organised back line, and nor did super-sub Divock Origi.
Leonardo Bonucci fired Juve into the lead in the first half, but an exquisite finish from Sassuolo winger Jeremie Boga levelled the scores just three minutes later before Francesco Caputo put the visitors in front after the break following a defensive mix-up and an error by keeper Gianluigi Buffon. Ronaldo netted from the penalty spot midway through the second half to end his four-match goal drought in all competitions and deny Sassuolo their first ever win in this fixture.
You don't get many top strikers who are known for being unselfish but Benzema is one of them. He is a real team player. The Frenchman played a huge part in Ronaldo's success at the Bernabeu, giving him more assists in La Liga than any other Real Madrid player. His goalscoring record also stands up to scrutiny. Yes there have been lean times but he scored 30 goals last season in all competitions, a number he only bettered in his second season at Real Madrid.
BATE Borisov is playing excellent football in this moment and this team will surely continue that way and in this round. In last two weeks, this team is beat champion, Dinamo Brest even two times. Firstly, in Belarus Premier league, they are beat them as a guests, 2-1, and than in much important match in final of Cup, they are beat them in Minsk, 1-0, but that goal was scored in 120th minute, in extra time. Isloch is so far lost all three matches as a guest, so they will not have any chances in this duel. BATE will beat them easy.
Villanova has won their previous game in Serie B, at this ground 1:0, and there is no reason why they should be huge underdog in this duel. Ponte Preta is not confident in the moment, and in the Cup competition, this team did not went with the full power in the recent seasons.
With their confidence peaking, Watford will be rubbing their hands at the prospect of facing a fragile looking Tottenham this weekend, and the Hornets' impressive wins over Man Utd and Wolves at Vicarage Road under Pearson showcased their ability to turn it on against the division's leading lights.
Clubs look set to swing the axe Premier League clubs are looking to cut costs already, according to the Sun. The paper reports that sides are working out how to make some stars redundant in order to cut costs, with the end of the season not yet in sight - but only a few players would be targeted in this way.
Video - Euro Papers: Odegaard makes stunning move to England. Modric unhappy at Real Madrid Spanish newspaper Marca explains why Real Madrid are now less keen on securing Eriksen’s signature. It carries a report saying that Luka Modric is unhappy with being dropped to the bench for big games, as he has been usurped by Fede Valverde.
Kepa may have got a touch on it as well. Chance for Chelsea! James slides a fine pass behind the defence to find the onrushing Kante, whose shot from a tight angle is well blocked by Dubravka. Chance for Chelsea! Sean Longstaff, attempting to intercept Jorginho's pass, accidentally diverts the ball into the Newcastle area.
Wigan would drop into the relegation zone with a 12-point deductionMeanwhile, Hull boss Grant McCann says his side need "a miracle" if they are to stay in the second tier. Having been a point off the play-off places after winning 1-0 at Sheffield Wednesday on New Year's Day, the Tigers have won just one more league game since and are bottom of the table. They travel to a Cardiff City side who need a point to secure a play-off place, but Hull have not scored in more than 300 minutes of action.
Wolves have been renowned for their giant killings ever since their return to the top flight last season, and they managed to pull off another one on Friday as they came from 2-0 down to beat the 10-men of Manchester City 3-2 at Molineux.
Who can draw who?Teams are separated into leagues - and then pots - depending on where they finished in last season's Nations League. So England - in pot one of League A - will face a team from each of pot two, pot three and pot four in the top division. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland could end up in one League B group. The draw should be straightforward because of the way the leagues and pots have happened.

It was Bruce Willis for the San Jose Earthquakes, Vin Diesel for Minnesota United and Mike Myers' Dr. Evil character for the Vancouver Whitecaps.

The former LA Galaxy man has obviously seen the years get to him, but his presence could be the biggest thing for Milan. The hosts aren’t the big side of old, having slipped to 11th in the table. The squad has started to play like a midtable Serie A side, but that’s just not Zlatan. His arrogance and swagger could make all the difference this season, even if his scoring rate doesn’t hold up.

There are going to be around 1,400 free agents in the EFL alone this summer, so there could be a massive influx of players coming down to our level, competing for contracts. On top of that, most National League clubs are almost certainly going to be operating with smaller squads, and offering lower wages. I can see more younger players being involved in the game because of that - they would be more likely to be able to accept having to live on less money.
It is the round 31 of the Czech Republic 1 Liga relegation group where Teplice who is number 2 will be hosting Karvina who is number 4 in the group. Karvina have never won against Teplice at home and I expect them here to not win. Karvina won in the regular season 3:0 from home. They can do it here as well.
They are 13th in the table after two losses and host third placed Zhodino who have won two out of two. Minsk had problems before the league season began and have now lost five games in a row. Their league campaign began with a 1-0 defeat by newly promoted Rukh Brest. Another defeat followed as they lost 3-2 in a local derby at FC Minsk.
I saw R. Kruse start as the main striker for Melbourne Victory last round at home against Newcastle Jets and it ended up in being their biggest win in the league so far this season and also their 2nd win in a row as they won 4-0 the game, while the previous round they went away from home at Melbourne City where they also won the game but with 2-1 in the end, still two good performances and they are sitting on the final play-off place at this moment despite modest results in the start of the season.

Messi popped up with an injury-time goal against Real in 2017, sweeping home a first-time shot from the edge of the area. It was an El Clasico winner, his 500th Barcelona goal and it sent Barca top of the table (although Real would go on to win the league). For good measure, he pulled out an iconic celebration when he took off his shirt and held it out so the Bernabeu faithful could see his name. Messi wins sixth Ballon d'Or Messi won his sixth Ballon d'Or - a record - in December, taking him above Ronaldo's five after scoring 54 times for club and country in 2018-19.

Leap year day a step too far for LiverpoolArsenal breathed a rather large sigh of relief on Saturday - the club itself tweeting "phew" - as Liverpool fell five games short of matching the Gunners' top-flight record 49-game unbeaten run. Not many would have seen that run ending at strugglers Watford, who began the match 55 points behind Jurgen Klopp's leaders before inflicting a 3-0 defeat. That's the heaviest loss suffered by a side top of the table against one in the relegation zone since 1985, when Leicester beat Manchester United by the same scoreline.

I’m watching Dynamo Brest, mainly because of Milevsky and his YouTube channel. I see their game and strengths, all the same they are the champions of the country, the start of the season did not work out for them with a new coach, but now I see how they came to their senses and began to show that championship game from time to time. They didn’t get the points and will do it now. The power engineer, on the contrary, started the season very successfully, and right now the recession has begun, even on the road I think that Brest will definitely win, and the coffee is good. Dynamo has a better game and performers, it’s time for them to get to the top of the table again.
Leicester have also only fielded 20, with the transformation in less than 12 months under Brendan Rodgers down to minor, subtle changes and his fantastic man-management. Two happy camps, refreshed and ready to go again after their break. Where else would I want to be on Valentine's night?!NB. These are two teams who'd be in the top four of any 'success story' table of the season so far (1 Liverpool 2 Sheffield United 3 Leicester 4 Wolves).
MANCHESTER, England, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Jose Mourinho conceded his former club Manchester United had deserved their 2-1 Premier League victory over his new team Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday and hailed the performance of Marcus Rashford.

UTA is the league leader with 35 points, 4 points more than the rest of the pack thanks to a record of 7-1-0 at home where they scored no less than 18 goals and conceded just 1 goal in those 8 home games, so really solid defense and good at scoring, scored in all their home games, and just like their last game against Farul if they can not score more than once a 1-0 win is still good enough for all 3 points.
It's a blatant foul. VAR needs to step in and it needs to protect the players as well. Saints' disputed penalty Southampton got a penalty when James Ward-Prowse seemed to fall towards Ande GomesTo complete a hat-trick, the Premier League confirmed Southampton should not have had a penalty against Everton. Ward-Prowse appeared to fall into the standing Andre Gomes, although he missed the penalty as he hit the crossbar.

AnalysisJohn Bennett, BBC World ServiceOver the years we've come to expect German football success on the pitch but this feels like a victory for their clear, detailed and, above all, collective planning off the pitch. Back on 23 April, DFL president Christian Seifert revealed the league's proposals for matches behind closed doors, collaborating with five laboratories and involving around 20,000 tests and it appears to have impressed the local and national government.
