Although he said it was a “lie” that he wasn’t keen on Barcelona signing Griezmann last summer, he did say he would have “loved” to see Neymar return. The fact that Barca didn’t bring Neymar back and then, with Luis Suarez injured and Griezmann struggling for form, didn’t sign a striker in January (pulling out of a deal to sign Cedric Bakambu while he was on his way from China to Spain), means it’s all on Messi again to do the heavy lifting.

It is said that the three main sides of the team from Zhodino are “defense, counterattack and Vova Bushma at the gate”. “Torpedo” really surprises with defense - four goals conceded.

Eddie Howe's side started brightly but Alli, who appears to be flourishing under Mourinho, was the catalyst for Spurs' victory. Toby Alderweireld's raking pass created Alli's opening goal, with the England midfielder racing on to Son Heung-min's touch to tap the ball past Cherries goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale. Alli's second came from the same source, as he superbly controlled Alderweireld's pass before holding off Jack Stacey and flicking the ball over Ramsdale.

He could still cost around £80 million despite currently running down his deal. Paper Round’s view: Sane has the remaining few months of the season to prove his fitness. If he does that, he will likely be included in Germany’s squad for Euro 2020. An impressive tournament there could attract attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, and might help Manchester City raise a decent amount for him instead of losing him for nothing in the summer of 2021.
He played the game as though he had had a few days off and went straight back to work without the slightest concern. He strutted around the pitch like he owned it, cutting Arsenal to shreds with every pass. I think Pep Guardiola brought him off after 70 minutes because he was so impressed with what he saw and decided to put his prized possession back into cold storage in preparation for his next seek and destroy mission.
Subs - Vazquez 5, Valverde 5, Vinicius 5. KEY MOMENTS 13’ What a chance for Benzema! That perhaps should have been the opening goal! Benzema tried to side-foot an effort inside the far post, but the Frenchman's shot was far too close to Aitor in the Levante goal! 18’ CASEMIRO.

The remaining 14 sides were left to scrap it out in the bottom division. That 10-14-14 combination finally unlocked an impasse that had been calcifying for more than a decade.

The club gave me my opportunity in England and has given me so much but I want to have even better times.
Both sides have scored in six of the last seven meetings. Wolves have one win in seven meetings with Spurs. Tottenham have scored two or more goals in four of their last five home matches.

usti nad Labem will against Brno in match Czech Republic 2 liga. My prediction this match could be the end score is under 3 goals due to usti nad Labem on last match in club friendlies only can make score is 1 goal. meanwhile, Brno on last 3 match in club friendlies that Brno only can make score is 1 goal. Therefore, I think this match will the end score is under 3 goals due to both teams have small score in club friendlies. Moreover both teams have the same strength and surely this match have more chance is small score.
inter at home versus ludogorets will be a fixture to watch today. Inter are fully capable of insulting ludogorets by defeating them and ludogorets will be looking to upset arsenal the top dogs within this match by defeating them at all levels. Inter have been on a decent run within the serie a league setting but predicting a straight win for them against ludogorets will be a risky prediction though this prediction has done that. I believe inter are fully capable of holding their ground irregardless of the resistance from ludogorets therefore I predict a straight win for inter today

Football match from the Qatar 2nd division between Al Muiadar and. Al Bidda. I think the odds on the host team is a bit high and worth the bet. The teams have played against each other on 4 occasions and whichever side was at home got the win. Also Al Muiadar is the better team between them, judging from previous odds they have always been placed with much lower odds and even though Al Bidda is has slightly better records this season I still feel Al Muiadar will get the win.

They played in a system where they are very comfortable with, a system where they played for two years with Antonio Conte," Mourinho said. Lampard bristled at the suggestion.

This is only match from Belgium Pro league who will be played tonight and I believe and in the same time, I hope that we will see a lot of goals in this duel. So, it is clear and real to expect something like that, when we just know how this teams are played in last period. Home team is played in even five of last six matches with three or more goals and similar facts we can said and for Mechelen. In the same time, in last two duels Mechelen is beat this rival 3-1 and 3-1. Over 3 is ok.
