However, what often gets overlooked is how tactically flexible Ancelotti made the team. Under Mourinho, Real were the perfect counter-attacking side. Ancelotti wanted to keep utilising that direct style but add more control and unpredictability, making the side more comfortable in possession.
When we played Barcelona I got a Neymar shirt. That was the first shirt I ever asked for.

He's the only one. Other than that it was dreadful. England put FA Women's Super League leaders Chelsea ahead in the eighth minute after Norway's Maren Mjelde headed the ball back across goal, and the 25-year-old forward continued her recent fine run of form by firing home at the second attempt. Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger kept her side in it with some superb saves, but she was finally beaten in the 84th minute when Leah Williamson brought Arsenal level with a left-foot shot that flew through a thicket of defenders and into the net.
Video - Lampard promises Rudiger support after alleged racist incident00:29 "When the incident was conveyed to the referee Anthony Taylor, he took the decision to call for the implementation of Stage 1 of the UEFA protocol – rather than the Premier League protocol – and asked for an announcement to be made, as well as requesting a further announcement which created a misconception that any issue was on-going," the club have said.

The host are presently in 2nd position from 13 games, scoring 30 goals against 12, the aim this season is to get back in the 1st Bundesliga where they believe that they belong.

For the first time it looked like the Ivorian was running the show and I must say he looked impressive. The ball for Aubameyang to score was a beautifully flighted pass. There was also something about his game that reminded me of Liam Brady. I'm not sure if it was the way he carried himself or that left foot, but whatever it was it's one hell of a good sign. Did you know? Pepe was involved in three goals against Newcastle (1 goal, 2 assists), as many as he had been in his previous 13 Premier League appearances (2 goals, 1 assist).

I am undecided what I want to do when I retire. Being a sporting director appeals to me more than coaching but I want to be involved in the game, whatever feels right for me at the time. I have no plans in the short term to go anywhere or play abroad but I would never shut those doors. I am focused on ending the season with Villarreal. Arteta has everything you need' Cazorla won two FA Cups alongside Arteta for Arsenal - scoring in the 2014 finalCazorla played alongside new Arsenal boss Arteta during his time at the Emirates and is confident the club have the right man in charge.
One of the major challenges for Campbell is to keep find a way to keep the opposition at bay as Southend have conceded a massive 59 times this season, which is a whole 20 times more than anyone else in the division. To give you some perspective, that averages at around 2.8 goals per game, and given that they have conceded 15 times in their last five matches, it is a stat which is not getting better anytime soon.
When you consider their records this season, their recent meeting and their previous in this competition the value in Parma becomes obvious. We feel like they can pull off a result on Thursday night. They are well priced in both the Double Chance and Draw No Bet markets, but instead, we’re taking them on the full-time result market, with just 10% of Parma’s home league games finishing level and only one of their last 10 in the cup.

They look like a team that can finish in the top four and be a real threat to some of the big guns. They are at home and Everton look like a team that don't know where the next positive result will come from.

There is no chance the Reds will let their performance levels drop for that one. It appears there is a good chance that game will be played behind closed doors because of coronavirus concerns. I don't think the Premier League have much choice about doing that if they want to get the season finished. If it happens on Monday, it will be a weird experience, and it will probably help Liverpool because Everton will lose some of their home advantage when there is no crowd.

Prior to that they had won four on the bounce to propel themselves into the position to make an unlikely late dart for a European spot. Tonight was a better gauge for where Roy Hodgson's side are at - and they were largely found wanting. Their organisation is well-established - prior to the defeat at Liverpool they had won four on the bounce without conceding - but with the onus on them to find a way to unlock their opponents they had little to offer.

It is the first time since 1996-97 that Hearts have won two league derbies at Easter Road in a single season. Melker Hallberg netted late on as Hibs slipped to a second defeat in 12 games. Jack Ross' side missed the chance to further their Europa League ambitions and could face losing striker Marc McNulty to retrospective disciplinary action after he seemed to stamp on Clare in the first half. Rate the playersReaction & as it happenedHigh stakes, big reward for HeartsDerbies are often described as a game where form goes out the window, but you could not ignore it going into this one.

Pulisic (Chelsea) C. Rarely in that barren period, or even in the glory years that preceded it, could they have produced a better first half as exquisite passing and deadly finishing brought two goals for Divock Origi and one each for Xherdan Shaqiri and Sadio Mane. Everton replied through Michael Keane and Richarlison before a much calmer second half that brought only a late goal for Georginio Wijnaldum.
I prefer to take both teams scoring in this one as both sides should feel they can win this. The club in better form is Sangju who after a big loss on opening day 4-0 away at Ulsan where they did have scoring chances but failed to score a goal, they won two games in a row at home 2-0 with Gangwon having even chances to score the 3rd goal but their opponents also easily broke through their defense and should have scored at least once, followed by a 1-0 win at home against newly promoted Gwangju game which I did not watch.
I spent most of the 70s trying to get some international recognition. My first cap was in 1975, then I got another in 1978. It was a bit of a challenge trying to get yourself noticed and I used to complain a bit to [club manager] Sir Alex Ferguson about it. It was a big game. The thing about Wembley in those days was that it was mostly Scotland fans that were there. Where they got the tickets from, who knows.

His record is unbelievable and he transmits that confidence," said the England international. The way he speaks, you believe it, you feel it from him. I hope we can win a lot of games and do as well as possible. I think he's the perfect person to have followed on from Pochettino. That's the feeling I have. We're really happy that if someone was to replace Pochettino it was him, with that winning mentality.
