They won the Libertadores again last year and are aiming to become the first team to win the trophy twice in a row since rivals Boca Juniors in 2001.

Villa was part of the Spain team that triumphed at Euro 2008 before winning the World Cup two years later in Johannesburg, South Africa. I think many situations arrived in the best moment - a good generation of players, good generation of coaches, a lot of work in the years before without success," he said.

It’s the dream of thousands of young boys and girls - standing near the touchline, side-by-side with your team-mates at a major tournament as the national anthem plays with your country's badge on your chest. It might not be happening for Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho and co in June but one England team is still hoping to take on Europe this summer, if the coronavirus pandemic eases by August.
This, combined with the fact that Palace have scored 0.78 and conceded 0.88 goals per home game and West Ham have scored 0.88 and conceded 1.22 goals per away game, makes backing a 1-1 correct score prediction look a very good choice.
Concerns for the financial wellbeing of football outside the Premier League - where clubs relay heavily on matchday income - have been highlighted in recent weeks as they face playing behind closed doors for a number of months once action is allowed to resume. Phil Hodgkinson, owner of Championship rivals Huddersfield, fears as many as "50 or 60" clubs could go bust as a result of the pandemic and that the English football's pyramid will be destroyed.

Asked if the days of huge transfers are over, he said: "I think in the short term, but not in the long term and they'll come back. Market values will come back.

Hapoel Ramat Gan is coming for the top of the table, they are in great shape and despite they lost last game, before that thex beat Petah Tikva in the road and I surely expect from them to get back on the victories, on the other side Hapoel acre started season very bad with 2 defeats and a draw and thex scored just one goal and in that game the lost from not so good team so I think they Will mainly defend in this game and I think they Will again not going to score a goal and most probably lose with 0 1 or 0 2

Fuming, the German sinks into his duvet and clicks play again. Why do people not appreciate his team? Do they not realise that Liverpool have played more games than any other team in the history of football? That Dejan Lovren couldn’t possibly play his 14th match of the season? That Shrewsbury Town already have enough cash without having to worry about gate receipts? That he, Jurgen Klopp, has no need to be in the stadium to watch players who will soon be playing in the lower leagues anyway? The final whistle soon sounds.
RETRO CORNER The Warm-Up isn’t quite sure how or why we ended up searching Youtube for Peter Reid compilations. But we’re glad we did. What a player. HAT TIP Today is election day in the UK, and When Saturday Comes have been good enough to round-up the manifestos of the three main parties. There’s plenty of differences to dig into, but all three parties are officially in favour of safe standing.

Leakier than a faucet, Angers need to tighten up their defence before they are dragged into a relegation dogfight at the close of the season. They have work to do and a decent record at home to Lille may be the foundation to rebuild on. However, the slick passing and neat play of the visitors could cause disarray for a defence badly lacking composure. Back the visitors to win.
Now, the Austrian underdogs travel to Holland again to take on AZ Alkmaar in the first of their round-of-32 ties. Alkmaar made it this far by finishing second in a group topped by Manchester United. Their endeavours were less eye-catching but it's been a good season for the Dutch side. Challenging Ajax for the title, Alkmaar are on course to qualify for the Champions League qualifiers.
For me, that's strides forward. And of course we're disappointed losing the game, we don't want to be behind them in the league. But there were signs there that we are on the right track, definitely.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard: "We've got to thrive and embrace the atmosphere at Pittodrie. I don't think any of my players will be shying away or intimidated by the atmosphere up there.
Atletico Madrid had an impressive performance in the European arena with a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the first leg of the 1/8 round - UEFA Champions League a few days ago, at the Spanish league, Atletico Madrid are showing A very unstable performance and knocked them out of the championship race. In the last 5 rounds, the team of coach Diego Simeone only got 1 victory, the rest lost 2 and drew 2, thereby dropping to 5th place in the rankings with only 40 points after 24 rounds.

Following a pair of 2-1 victories against Valencia and Mallorca, a brilliant hat-trick from club legend Joaquin proved enough to secure a 3-2 triumph over Athletic Bilbao at Benito Villamarin last weekend and Betis' third La Liga success on the spin.
Both teams need points from this game but for different reasons. Middlesbrough finally won a league match in 2020 when winning at Charlton last weekend. They continue to struggle for goals though but will want to build on that result. Considering Swansea have a poor away record and have drawn 14 games, it's amazing they are still in with a chance of promotion. A bet on under 2.5 goals in this game is the suggested bet to make.
Sassuolo protested that Berardi had been fouled and were incensed that the referee refused to review the incident. The visitors were also angry after Criscito put Genoa ahead with a 29th-minute penalty, awarded after Antonio Sanabria went down under the slightest of touches from Pedro Obiang.

We defended well and in the end we got the win and are through.
Lazio are 3rd and in good shape and playing at home I see them able to take this win and because also the draw is possible I'm going to try this DNB on them. Home team have 39 points after 17 matches and they did 5 wins in the last 5 matches played. Have good attack and at home they did well so far. Opponent have 24 points and are in the middle. They did only 1 win in the last 5 matches played and so this will be a tough match for them and away they are going to lose.

Norwich’s spirited attacking displays have also run out of steam. They have scored just twice in their last seven league games, failing to find the net on five occasions. Everton haven’t exactly been defensive rocks at Goodison Park, but they will still feel confident of a shutout on Saturday.
City will certainly point to the fact a two-year ban is unprecedented, and therefore potentially excessive. They will also refer to other clubs' sponsorship arrangements with companies linked to their owners. That this was a "prejudicial process" because it was "judged by Uefa" - ie the adjudicatory panel was effectively biased because it was appointed by Uefa and therefore lacked independence. This final argument in particular has received little sympathy - and indeed much criticism.

He was sat down with a very fat man looking after him.
TALKING POINT - The win that saved Pellegrini? West Ham came into this game on a dire run. No wins since beating Manchester United on September 22, and only two points in the league since.
