The speed of that free-kick? 101. Speaking to Canal+ Spain after the game Ronaldo called his shot the Tomahawk, after a cruise missile that is capable of reaching speeds of 880 km/h. From that point things have started going downhill and you have to go back to the 2017-18 season to find his last free-kick goal.
A natural striker. Ighalo impresses punditsIghalo also caught the eye of two former Manchester United players covering the game for BT Sport. Midfielder Paul Scholes said: "He did well and looked sharp. He's come into this team at the right time, just as a really creative player has come in in Bruno Fernandes. If United need to rely on him I think he'll do a good job. And another former England midfielder Owen Hargreaves agreed: "I like the fact he gives United a reference point.
Barnsley come into this game having conceded at least twice in seven of their last eight. Overall this season, the Tykes have conceded twice or more in 12 of their 16 league games. The league's worst away side have already conceded 33 goals this term and they should ship another couple here. We’re backing over 1.5 Blackburn goals on Saturday.
La Liga wants the Spanish Football Association to punish Espanyol with a partial stadium closure after Athletic Bilbao forward Inaki Williams said he was racially abused at their ground. After the 1-1 draw on Saturday, Williams, 25, said: "No black player or any player ever wants to hear that. La Liga is attempting to identify the fans involved and bring criminal charges of hate crimes against them.
It wasn’t the body saying that, it was the mind. Something faded in me, in the whole team. The truth is that right then, at that moment, at 1-1, I knew we would lose. In the 58 seconds between the equaliser and the kick-off, the United players went through all kinds of emotions. Beckham “felt like crying”; Solskjaer was chuffed because he would get to play another 30 minutes in a European Cup final; a shattered Butt started running round to try to get the blood going in his legs.
Walter Ferretti fc will lock their horns with Las Sabanas fc in their second leg encounter, the home team won their first leg encounter by two goals to one. The home team are currently ranked at third place in the table and they have drawn their last home game against Real Madrid which ended with each scoring two goals while the visitors are looks very poor at away games they have lost their last away game by conceding five goals against Ocotal. The host lost only one home game against Real Esteli by four goals to one. I think to give +2.25 away team is the best prediction.

Where to watch the match Spartak Trnava 0:0 Michalovce online Watch the online video broadcast of the match Spartak Trnava 0:0 Michalovce. There are several sources to choose from for viewing with different quality.
On a famous night for Wolves and a dramatic one that saw Guardiola's side throw away the chance for the Spaniard to become the fastest manager in Premier League history to clock up 100 wins, it's a shame much of the post-game discussion will centre upon the pros and cons of VAR. The review of the Dendoncker-Mahrez penalty incident took an age, while the order of a re-take for encroachment has led to much social media debate.
Leicester striker Jamie Vardy will soon end his run of games without a goal and reach a century of Premier League goals, predicts boss Brendan Rodgers. Vardy, 33, has scored 97 times in the Premier League but is without a goal in nine matches in all competitions. I have no doubt he'll get the goals and it's a matter of time before he gets back to scoring again - sometimes you get a run like it," said Rodgers.
Notoriously everyone knows how difficult it is to go to Burnley so we know we have to be much better than we were last week to have any chance of getting a result," the Northern Irish coach added. Sean's teams have always got great resilience, they play good football so it's a game that's a real test but it's a game that we look forward to.
Now the dust has settled, you can see he was right. Levy also had a clear vision as to what he wanted the next step to be, which is not only to be competing for trophies, but winning them. That is why he went for Mourinho - he sees him as the final piece in the puzzle. Timing-wise, it was a great move. Other Premier League clubs sat and waited before sacking their manager, and have since delayed appointing a replacement.
Sterling couldn't hit a barn door at one stage in his career - now he's hitting 20+ goals a season and doing so playing anywhere across the front line. Players like Sterling and De Bruyne should be featuring in the Ballon d'Or list on a regular basis. The award recognises the best players in Europe, which invariably means those who win the biggest prizes with the most successful clubs. Did you know? Sterling became the first Englishman to score 20 league goals in a top-flight campaign for Man City since Brian Kidd in 1976-77.
FIFA looking at transfer window solutions FIFA has confirmed that it is looking at solutions to the expiry of players' contracts and the summer transfer window, with European leagues likely to extend beyond June 30 after being suspended due to the crisis. Read the full story here 20:00 - Wimbledon under threat from coronavirus pandemic The All-England Lawn Tennis Club, the body which oversees Wimbledon, has admitted that it is looking into postponement and cancellation options for the tournament, which is due to start at the end of June.
They only showed some urgency in fleeting moments. There are mitigating factors like their poor run of form and the injuries to their forwards but waiting until the 97th minute to bring on Troy Parrott, the club's only fit striker, was a strange decision. You can allow defensive and passive football if it leads to a winning formula but that is not the case at the north London club currently.
But a couple of half-time changes from Marcelo Bielsa saw Ajayi strike back early in the second half, a just reward for dominating possession. Though both Ajayis had chances to seal the game, you’d imagine that this will feel like a good point for each. Slaven Bilic’s Ajayi have now gone four games without a win, while Marcelo Bielsa’s Ajayi will be pleased to have a nine-point cushion from which to begin their customary second-half-of-the-season slump.
Similarly, we feel that Hertha are unlikely to score many goals in this game. Despite being low scoring away from home, Monchengladbach have been solid at the back on their travels. They have conceded just seven goals in seven Bundesliga away games. This gives them the second-best away defensive record in the Bundesliga.
No matter where they encountered him on his journey to the top, none are surprised to see him make it. They believe there's still more to come too. His CV's incredible - one of the best in the country for how well he's done at certain teams," Wright says. I can't compliment him enough as a manager. I've probably played more games for him than any other player and he hasn't changed the way he is. He's kept his philosophy.
Paper Round’s view: With the appeal likely to be delayed, that might give City the chance to get next season under way without being punished, which would help mitigate the financial pressure that all clubs are feeling at the moment. However, the league restart is also likely to be delayed, so there is no guarantee that City will get what they want, anyway.
Henry and Werner give the impression of just thinking of the bottom line. This is not to pit Liverpool individuals against each other, simply to remind Henry and Werner of the special people who congregate in and around Anfield, and not to embarrass them with crass grabs for public cash. Furloughing? This means money for Henry and Werner.
Unbelievable for me. There have obviously been disappointments, for example coming so close to the league and not winning it. But there has been massive, joyous moments. Dreams that have come true and things that have happened that I never thought I'd have the opportunity to even do. Playing two Champions League finals, playing so many games for the club that I love. Liverpool have scored a lot of late goals this season - is that belief something the manager instils?Yeah, but's it also just in the players, knowing that your team-mates have the ability to score those goals.
Ivan Rakitic scored the only goal as Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao to move back to the top of La Liga. The substitute latched onto Lionel Messi's pass before slotting home with 19 minutes to go. It was a 15th La Liga assist of the season for Messi, who remains on 699 career goals despite going close himself on two separate occasions in the closing stages. Real Madrid can go back to the top if they beat Mallorca on Wednesday.
I am sure they will try to soak up pressure and hit us on the break with Lucas Moura, Son (Heung-Min) and Dele Alli. They will allow us to have possession and try to break them down, no doubt that is how Mourinho will play because I think he is very intimidated by Liverpool. The match could still be an awkward trip for the visiting Reds who beat Tottenham in last year's Champions League final and have a near-perfect record of 58 points out of 60 this season to sit 13 points clear at the top.
The encouraging news for Flamengo is they have the resources to ensure they remain dominant. Flamengo get more money from TV rights and their own members’ schemes than any other Brazilian club and are second only behind Palmeiras in overall revenues, according to Sports Value, a Brazilian consultancy firm.
Norwich bolstered their attacking options at the break by sending on Josip Drmic to partner Teemo Pukki, and Drmic came close to scoring when his shot deflected off David McGoldrick and bounced off the crossbar in the 75th minute. The visitors continued to throw everything forward in an effort to find an equaliser, but United keeper Dean Henderson pulled off a string of fine saves, prompting the home fans to chant for him to be made "England's number one".
Pep Guardiola has the chance to shuffle his pack against Dinamo Zagreb with the weekend's trip to Arsenal in mind, though the eccentric Catalonian manager generally likes to avoid making wholesale changes to his starting XI.
Townsend said that figure was "absolutely disgraceful considering the amount of players there are in the game that have also transitioned into coaching and are qualified". The 'Rooney Rule' regulation is named after the NFL diversity committee chairman Dan Rooney, who spearheaded a policy that clubs in American football should interview at least one BAME candidate for each head coach or senior football operation vacancy.
Here are some of the takeaways…1. Meeting Crouchy at Serge from Kasabian's weddingIt doesn't really get any more lad rock than that, does it?View more on twitterApparently the two hit it off there - and why wouldn't they?Dyche says he got to know Serge after Crouch did, so he didn't get an invite to the day do. I was like the hanger-on," he says. Giving a team talk to Danny DyerIf you're still reeling from the image of Dyche and Crouch hanging out at a wedding, let us now introduce another character to that scene - Daniel Dyer.
Atalanta have seen over 3.5 goals in 86% of their home games, while Milan have failed to win six of their seven trips to top-half sides. Milan are aiming to win back to back games against la Dea for the first time in nearly six years, while four of their last six clashes have finished level. As a result, a 2-2 draw is our pick in this one.
We can't use excuses, we still have quality on the pitch. We are missing good players but that happens. The players coming in have to step up and we haven't done that today. We apologise to the fans, to go out and lose like that, they deserve better. We have to fight. We can't be in the position we are in in the league, we can't hide.
I think the away side could cause Sean Dyche’s Burnley some problems at the back with the likes of Ivan Toney who scored in the 2-1 defeat to Lincoln on New Year’s Day however, Burnley should have too much for the Posh’s struggling defence and I’m going to tip a home win and over 2.5 goals in this game.

The PGL said it wants to work with established tours rather than as a breakaway circuit, but the PGA Tour and European Tour have been all but dismissive about the proposed circuit. We don't comment on the business of other tours, real or hypothetical. We're focused on our business," the PGA Tour said in a statement to Reuters.
The Gunners took just three minutes to open the scoring away at Hope Powell's Brighton, as Danielle van de Donk latched on to Leah Williamson's long diagonal ball and slotted home. England defender Williamson was on hand again to set up Jill Roord for Arsenal's second, before Jordan Nobbs and Beth Mead added to the scoreline with low finishes in the second half.
Ukrainian side Shakhtar are in pole position to finish as runners-up, but Dinamo Zagreb and Atalanta remain in contention. Who needs what in the Champions League? Guardiola had said he was "so sorry" for Foden when the 19-year-old came off the bench to score late in a 2-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb in the reverse fixture in October.
Eddie Howe’s men aren’t in the best shape themselves though. The Cherries lost 3-2 at Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham at the weekend to make it three defeats in a row, although it’s worth noting that they had lost just one of their seven matches prior to this downturn in form.
Giroud's first Premier League goal since April arrived in the 16th minute when he drove his half-volley into the bottom corner after Ross Barkley's shot ricocheted off the post. Tottenham were disappointing in the first half and their best chance arrived in the 34th minute, but Lucas Moura's near-post shot was crucially blocked by Cesar Azpilicueta before, from the resultant corner, Willy Caballero tipped Davinson Sanchez's looping header over the bar.

They are 16th in the league but might just fancy their chances of a home win against Schalke 04 who are eighth but in terrible form. Dusseldorf are currently in the relegation play-off position and three points from safety. They are on a five-game unbeaten run in the league but the last four have all ended in draws with just a single win in the last ten.
Jesus arrived at Flamengo in June and his side are unbeaten since the first Sunday in August, with performances that are reminiscent of the great 1980s-era side featuring Zico, Junior and Leandro. Already champions-elect of Brazil's Serie A, if they can win in Lima they should become the first team to complete a league and Libertadores double since Pele’s Santos in 1963.
Racism allegations mar matchLampard becomes the master over MourinhoLive reaction as Chelsea win at Tottenham Neville played in the England team with fellow Sky Sports pundit Ashley Cole who, along with Shaun Wright-Phillips, was subjected to racist abuse during a 2004 friendly against Spain in Madrid. He told Sky Sports: "Ashley was abused at the Bernebeu in a game I played in and probably did not give it a moment's thought really.
But Freiburg keeper Alexander Schwolow pointed out an advantage to the lack of fans. Football lives off fans and the people we can excite," said Schwolow following their 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig. But on the pitch we communicated more because we can hear each other better. Less pressure on referees Philipp Bargfrede leaves the pitch after being sent off in the 88th minute against FreiburgYou might think the absence of vociferous, partisan fans would mean a calmer atmosphere and that referees would need to show fewer yellow and red cards.
World soccer's governing body FIFA this week recommended extending players' contracts which were due to end in June and said it would allow transfer windows to be moved to allow for extensions to the current European season.

We have a game between two open teams who are looking to stay clear of the bottom 3 places which will relegate to the 3rd league level at the end of the normal season, this while I watched Nykobing right after the break at home in their first game against bottom of the league Roskilde side, the score being 1-1 by half-time as I simply bet on over 2.5 goals back than I watched the second half and there were chance after chance for Nykobing who simply failed to score the well deserved 2-1 leading goal.
