Roll of honour Let's take a quick (bullet point assisted) trip down memory lane and revisit the winners of the last 10 Ballon d'Ors. Spot the odd one out. Luka Modric 2017: Cristiano Ronaldo 2016: Cristiano Ronaldo 2015: Lionel Messi 2014: Cristiano Ronaldo 2013: Cristiano Ronaldo 2012: Lionel Messi 2011: Lionel Messi 2010: Lionel Messi 2009: Lionel Messi 11:05 - 'There are no losers' Virgil van Dijk is already pre-empting defeat in tonight's ceremony by insisting there will be "no losers".
Napoli come into this round with their heads up and very high morale after being able to get a draw at Anfield against Liverpool. Bologna is not doing well and they will face relegation if they keep going like this. In my opinion Bologna has a team strong enough to keep them above sea level and keep fighting in Serie A but they have to change some things if they want to do better. On this game it will be difficult to do better because they are fighting a team with huge momentum coming into this game. I predict 1-0 h
A 19th-minute own goal from Pearce, who fell over his own feet as he tried to clear Marc Albrighton's low cross, gave the Foxes a lead they never looked like losing. Barnes nearly made it 2-0 a few minutes later only to be denied by an excellent save from visiting goalkeeper Marshall. But a quick counter-attack just before the break, which ended with Barnes' shot clipping Dunkley and looping over Marshall, saw Leicester double their advantage and move them into the fourth round for the sixth time in nine seasons.
I'm slightly concerned that, given Spurs' poor form over the past couple of months, he's still not had much game time with them, but I hope he'll be able to shine for us and I trust Ralph's judgement. Our squad is thin, so Che Adams - who has been heavily linked with Leeds - needs to stay and keep developing his game. Jannik Vestergaard has surprisingly been linked with a move to Leicester, so it'll be interesting to see if anything happens there.
Also a new mach from Germany soccer league between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munchen is a new great chance for my play where I so this pick over from 3.50 goals and can look get a new great win from new 8 points to my score and can look see a best soccer mach from boat teams in this match and a soccer play from boat teams with more goals. I will look see minimal four goals and maybe more what can be the best new chance for this my pick what can get a new win and points to my score.

In terms of a correct score tip, we think that it could prove to be a closer match than the league table might suggest. As discusssed, we do expected the hosts to find the back of the net but the fact that they concede an average of 2.17 goals per game on home soil suggests they face an uphill challenge to get the points. With this in mind, backing a 2-1 away looks to be the most likely result.
The visitors then had Joey Barton sent off for kicking out at Sergio Aguero. The rest I'm sure you know. After Edin Dzeko had headed City level in the second of five minutes of stoppage time, up stepped Aguero to send Etihad Stadium wild and break the hearts of local rivals Manchester United, who thought their victory at Sunderland had won them the title.

The former Netherlands manager said he had attempted to "ridicule" the German language of pitchside colleague Hans Kraay, who had just interviewed Heracles' German boss Frank Wormuth following a 4-1 defeat by Ajax on Saturday. After an initial on-air apology, the former AC Milan forward also added on Sunday: "Life is like football. Sometimes you score, sometimes you miss. But if you miss, that does not mean that you are a bad person.
Antalyaspor and Sivasspor will face each other in the upcoming match in the Super Lig in Turkey. Antalyaspor this season have the following results: 6W, 9D and 10L. Meanwhile Sivasspor have 14W, 7D and 4L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
13 out of 15 Southampton home league games have seen both teams score. All five Spurs away league games played under Jose Mourinho have had both teams score. Tottenham have conceded in each of their last 17 away league games. Southampton have only failed to score in two of their last 24 home league matches.
Despite a roster that features Iniesta and Thomas Vermaelen alongside Japan internationals Hotaru Yamaguchi and Gotoku Sakai, the unpredictable nature of the Japanese league means the eventual outcome remains anyone's guess. What I've learned from the J-League is that there are always surprising results," said former Barcelona defender Vermaelen, who joined Kobe in July.
All three goals came from full-back assists. That isn't a fluke, it happens all the time. That's one of the reasons Liverpool have been so extraordinary. Former West Ham and England goalkeeper Rob Green on BBC Radio 5 Live: "Liverpool weren't at their best on Monday. Compared to last week, the performance from West Ham was a stark contrast.
The silence was broken only between Elif Elmas who spoke to reporters while with the North Macedonia national side and by Ancelotti who spoke during a conference on the VAR system on Tuesday. Elmas said he believed that the title race was not over yet, earning a quick rebuke from the club. Elmas spoke to the press without the club's authorisation during the current media blackout," said a Napoli statement.

Peters continued to be one of the most significant members of a West Ham team that was pleasing on the eye, operating with characteristic stealth and intelligence, but short on success - his future glories were to come elsewhere. England's man ahead of his time Martin Peters scored England's second goal in the 1966 World Cup finalIn the modern parlance, Peters was a "bolter" in Sir Alf Ramsey's plans for the 1966 World Cup - the player who came up on the rails to make his case for inclusion close to the tournament.
Both West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United have not had the best of runs in recent matches and going to this clash they will know just how crucial it is to the promotion race. In terms of form, West Bromwich Albion have been poorer; they have one win in the last five matches and somehow their attack is not firing as before. They have not scored more than a goal in four of their last five matches. They have not won in the last two home matches and this will add to their pressure. Leeds on the other hand, recovered from their own slump with the win over Birmingham but it was not very comfortable, especially in the final minutes. In their last five matches, they have conceded two or more goals in three. Their away form has been positive but their key concern will be in defence, considering this is normally a high scoring affair. Five of the last six matches between these two sides have produced over 3.5 goals and looking at the two sides’ defensive runs, we can bet on this one being another high scoring affair but based on form, we will go with a Leeds win.
They made a poor start to the new season though and were down in the bottom six. Form has picked up well though and Portsmouth have only lost two of their last 22 league and cup games. Their last five games have all ended in victory and they are up to seventh in League One, only out of the promotion play-offs on goal difference.
PSV Eindhoven are on the 5th place with 36 points and they can't reach the first placed Ajax who have 50 points, huge 14 more than PSV. To be worse, PSV are in poor form. They have no win on the last three matches in Eredivisie. Last weekend they lost to Ajax. The atmosphere in the squad is poor, while the players confidence isn't at desired level. Most of the players are ready, only Donyell Malen is out injured.

Olympiacos vs Asteras Tripolis - live score, predicted Olympiacos is playing home against Asteras Tripolis at Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki on Sun, Feb 25, 2024, 16:00 UTC. This is Round 24 of the Super League.
To begin with, the teams are now at different levels and solve different tasks. Juventus is fighting for the championship and I think they count on a minimum for the Champions League final. Ronaldo began to score again stably. His confidence is also reflected in the whole team. The quality of the game in many matches of Turin leaves much to be desired, but they achieve the result. Napoli, in every match, tries to find the game. The loss of Mertens became generally fatal. Without it, Napoli almost does not score. Only 4 goals in the last 5 matches. Gattuso is not a coach. I don’t know where the Napoli leadership is looking. His impulsiveness and tactical settings absolutely do not bring results. This was clear already from work in Milan.
Preston are winless in four league games (D2 L2), losing the last two in a row. In fact, the Lilywhites have won just two of their last 10 in league competition (W2 D2 L6). That makes them the perfect opponents for Blackburn, who have a solid record at their own ground. They’ve lost none of their previous eight at home, winning four of their last six here.
When Klopp took over in October 2015, Liverpool were 10th in the league table. You have to wait to celebrate it' Trent Alexander-Arnold kisses the European trophy during last season's victory parade in LiverpoolWhen the Premier League was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic, Liverpool sat 25 points clear at the top of the table. Following a 100-day lay-off, the league resumed on Wednesday with Liverpool two wins away from the title.
With Al Masry’s form considered, we don’t see this being a thrilling tie. The visitors have seen under 2.5 goals in 88% of their matches in the league this term. They head into this week’s clash as the underdogs, with El Geish expected to set the tempo. However, the hosts have scored just once across the last three meetings between these two, so don’t expect the hosts to pour forward here.
If you don't do that, you have no chance. There's a reason they were in so many European finals. Apart from Swiss forward Xherdan Shaqiri, Klopp has a full squad to choose from ahead of the showdown at the Wanda Metropolitano where Liverpool lifted the trophy in June. Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold hailed the impact of goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who missed the first eight games of the season with a calf injury.
MILAN, Feb 8 (Reuters) - AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic is likely to feature in Sunday’s Serie A derby with Inter Milan after flu said head coach Stefano Pioli who has urged his players to follow the striker’s example. The 38-year-old Swede, who joined the club for a second spell on a free transfer during the January transfer window, missed Milan’s 1-1 draw with Hellas Verona last Sunday.
Defensa y Justicia will be looking for all three points when they do. The home side come into this game in 17th place with 14 points and whilst title chances have long since evaporated, they are trying to hold out hope for a play-off place, but they are currently 7 points adrift of that objective.
Swansea have seen themselves tumble down the home results table, having started the campaign with five straight home victories. Their form since has massively dropped off, with only four sides picking up fewer points at home than the Swans. Their return of just 1.3 points per game at the Liberty isn’t good enough for a playoff-hopeful.
Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser has declined to sign a short-term contract extension until the end of the season. Fraser, 26, is set to leave the club when his current deal ends on 30 June. The Scotland international remains eligible for the Cherries' next two games but his contract expires before the final seven games of the season. Club captain Simon Francis, midfielder Andrew Surman, full-back Charlie Daniels and back-up keeper Artur Boruc have all agreed short-term extensions.
The men said the passports were a gift and an investigation indicated the numbers on the passports corresponded to other people, Delfino added. Marin said Brazilians do not need a passport to travel between Brazil and Paraguay, both of which are members of the Mercosul bloc. He could not explain why they showed Paraguayan passports when they had travelled recently on their Brazilian passports to China, Europe and the United States.
I will do my best to contribute. Just for some perspective, Miura featured in the original Fifa 96 game. There are rumours he'll also feature in Fifa 21. No such show of faith from the people at Football Manager, though. They removed him from the game at 40. Come on, where's the optimism, guys? Kazuyoshi Miura in action for Verdy Kawasaki in 1994Miura's club, Yokohama FC, have just secured promotion to the top tier.

One concerning aspect to their season has been their complete lack of defensive solidity, unaided by Aymeric Laporte’s injury problems. Pep Guardiola’s side have conceded in 17 of their last 20 competitive matches and in seven of their 10 Premier League away games this season.
BGU Minsk serves as farm squad for Energetik, which is in the Vysshaya league, and they have players which did not make not the reserve squad of their parent team. They are facing with one of the competition favorite at the first round, and would hardly handle Pink on the equal level. BGU could try to defend, and avoid big loss, but even if make some good resist, team has no power to remain on the high level all 90 minutes.
It could be time to load up on Sheffield United defenders - only Leicester (eight) can beat their record of seven clean sheets this season, while wing-backs Enda Stevens and George Baldock have five assists and three goals between them. Another 9-0?It was the most remarkable scoreline of the season so far - Leicester City went to Southampton on 25 October and whacked them 9-0. If you're a horses-for-courses kind of person you may well consider bringing in Ayoze Perez for this weekend.
Having hammered Ceara 4-1 in the week, Flamengo aren't looking to put their feet up however and they'll come into this trip desperate to prove just why they are Brazil's strongest side. They beat Palmeiras 3-0 earlier on in the campaign and having won 26 of their 35 games overall, they'll travel to Sao Paulo supremely confident of securing victory.
Manchester City's Premier League match with Arsenal on Wednesday has been postponed as a "precautionary measure" and several Gunners players are in self-isolation after Olympiakos owner Evangelos Marinakis contracted coronavirus. Arsenal say Marinakis, 52, met a number of their players when the Gunners hosted the Greek side in a Europa League match two weeks ago. Marinakis - who also owns Championship side Nottingham Forest - said on Tuesday he had tested positive for Covid-19.
It was also their last league away win too. A leaky defence, punished too easilyFormer Arsenal boss George Graham, who was in charge when '1-0 to the Arsenal' was a familiar chant and common result, must have been having kittens about Arsenal's defence this season. His former stalwarts in that famed Gunners defence haven't exactly been slow to criticise either. Former right-back Lee Dixon called the 2-2 draw at Watford on 15 September: "The worst performance without the ball for a very long time.
Chelsea, of course, did not bring anyone in but I actually think that takes the pressure off their manager Frank Lampard because everyone knows he has to make do with what he has already got. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Katie's prediction: 3-4WEDNESDAY Man City v West Ham (19:30 GMT)Having this game delayed by 10 days might help Manchester City a bit - Aymeric Laporte will have a few more training sessions under his belt and could be fit enough to come into contention.
Tebas expressed his opposition to such a proposal, however, citing the fact that Spanish clubs are owed 350 million euros in transfer fees, due to be paid by September 30. It's important these obligations are met, because if these European clubs don't pay Spanish clubs the Spanish clubs may not be able to pay other European clubs," Tebas told reporters via video link on Tuesday.
And Keita repaid that favour after the interval, collecting a loose pass inside the Bournemouth half, driving forward and then slipping in Salah, who duly applied the finishing touch. Liverpool kept a clean sheet for the first time since September and were never troubled at the back as the home team couldn’t muster a single shot on target.
Before the transfer was announced, Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc had said: "It wasn't an easy decision to make. But we've changed our formation to a 3-4-1-2 with Jadon Sancho and Thorgan Hazard playing up top. Then we brought in Erling Haaland as well. We always have to think about how a player can help us. In just 59 minutes of football for Dortmund in two substitute appearances, Haaland has scored five goals, having arrived for £17m from Salzburg at the start of January.
The plans also include regular testing of players and coaches between training sessions and before every match. Alexander Kekule, a biochemist from Martin Luther University in Halle, estimates that the DFL would need up to 20,000 detection tests and exceptional organisational measures. He said: "Players have to be shielded under specific safety rules to prevent infections, because they are not able to avoid contact on the pitch.
