Neale Cooper and I had got used to standing at the side of the Pittodrie pitch. Two Aberdonian schoolboys - best friends - frozen, waiting behind the Beach End goal to scurry away after shots. But only a few years later, we found ourselves a long way from home and from our ball boy duties, yet still side-by-side. We were lying in adjacent beds in the team hotel, buried somewhere in the Swedish forest, dreaming about beating Real Madrid in a European final the next day.
Liverpool secured a fourth straight home win over Everton for the first time since 1937. Liverpool remain unbeaten in their last 23 home games against Everton in all competitions (W13 D10); they have beaten the Toffees twice at Anfield in the same season for the first time since the 1986-87 campaign.

City assistant boss Mikel Arteta will still be part of the coaching set-up despite holding talks with Arsenal about their managerial vacancy. Boss Pep Guardiola is expected to make numerous changes from his regular Premier League starting line-up. Centre-back John Stones (hamstring), striker Sergio Aguero (thigh) and playmaker David Silva (knock), will not feature, so youngsters including Tommy Doyle, Adrian Bernabe, Ian Carlo Poveda-Ocampo and Taylor Harwood-Bellis could get the chance to impress.

Stars vs Islanders scores & predictions Dallas Stars is playing against New York Islanders on Feb 27, 2024 at 1:00:00 AM UTC. The game is played at American Airlines Center.
Payet netted after seven minutes and Radonjic doubled the lead late on to put Marseille on 46 points from 23 games, a distant 12 behind leaders Paris St Germain but with a healthy advantage over third-placed Stade Rennais. The kickoff was delayed by 15 minutes after the players were affected in their warmup by tear gas used by the police during a fight between opposing fans outside of the stadium.
Erzgebirge Aue has 9-3-2 at home and as Karlsruhe is close to the bottom with 2-6-6 at home. The odds should have been closer to events in my world. Visitors are currently on a better period of play this season. Most of their matches ended in a draw, in fact, they had more draws than losses. This has thrown them into the position they are in and will be crucial in deciding their future. The head-to-head statistics favor the home team that has a winning streak at home. The AUE home team in 12th place with 38 points after 29 rounds is fairly calm but not mathematically safe, while Karlsruher SC is in full fight for relegation in 16th place with 30 points after 29 games. In my opinion, a point for the visiting team which by the way is unbeaten for 4 rounds
Another meeting of teams that in recent matches show terrible football and experience huge problems in the game. In recent matches, both rivals mostly lose. Beverin’s business is very bad - he’s the last but one. “Mechelen” is going to return to the fight for the playoffs.
RETRO CORNER Twelve years ago today, Arsenal went to Anfield to play a League Cup quarter-final. They conceded three, which might have been a problem, had they not scored six of their own. You’ll remember Julio Baptista scoring four, of course, but the Warm-Up had entirely forgotten the shift that Jérémie Aliadière put in.

That means unlike in the other semi-final, both teams have a good chance of reaching Wembley. Leicester City had to come from behind to get that first leg draw but were going through a bit of a dodgy patch at the time. Their form has improved since then though with wins over West Ham and Brentford in the past week.
Lafnitz will host Austria Wien II for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this season. However, the visitors have great results in the last matches. Austria Wien II are undefeated in their last 5 matches. They have three consecutive victories. On the other hand Lafnitz have fallen into a poor show. They have three consecutive losses. However, they played against more strong rivals. In last game Lafnitz lost 3-1 against Ried. In any case, the hosts have the motivation to break the poor series. I think, they will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch.
I surely believe in goals in this match from Dutch elite league and that is pretty real to expect, if we know how this teams are playing. I really not remember when PSV was in so big problems, like in this moment and team is without win even six matches in a row, if we count all competitions and Europa League, of course. PSV will have chance to win here, but and Heerenveen will surely score at least one goal here, maybe even two. I believe in plenty of goals here and I will try that. It is more than ok.
United's scoring form at home also bodes well ahead of a match against City side that has been anything but defensively sound away from home. The hosts have notched two or more goals in seven of their last eight at Old Trafford.
The Kazakh hosts have scored just one goal in the Europa League group stages. United just need a point to qualify for the Europa League. Astana have recently lost 11-0 over two matches against AZ. Astana come in to matchday five of the Europa League group stages already playing for pride alone. They have collected no points from their four group stage games, with their demolition at the hands of AZ earlier this month ending all hopes of them making it to the knockout stages.
What then took place was quite sensational. Sarr's first goal, while important, was opportunistic. However, his second was of the highest quality. To leave Lovren and Van Dijk struggling to catch him before dispatching the most glorious finish was a sight to see. And, boy, did I enjoy it. Did you know? It was the first time Sarr has been involved in three goals in a single game in 108 appearances in the top five European leagues.

They’ve lost four of five trips to top half sides this season, while Forest have four wins in five clashes with Boro.

Aston Villa fear record signing Wesley will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury picked up in Wednesday's 2-1 Premier League win at Burnley. The striker, 23, scored the opener at Turf Moor but was hurt in a tackle with Clarets' defender Ben Mee. He had lengthy treatment before leaving the pitch in the 71st minute. Wesley will have scans on Thursday but club officials think it is likely the Brazilian, signed from Club Bruges in June, has cruciate ligament damage.
Benfica can't afford to drop points in this game as they try to stop Porto winning the title. They weren't in good form before the league was suspended, so will hope to put that behind them. Their opponents were also in poor form and have 34 points less than Benfica. They struggle for goals and have lost four of their last five away matches. Go for a home win with Benfica ahead at half and full time.
The Olympic Games have been pushed back a year and a postponement of the 2021 Women's European Championship is also on the cards, so what impact does that have on England manager Phil Neville?The 43-year-old has just over a year left on his contract and was due to take charge of a Team GB squad in Tokyo this summer. But with the Olympics now taking place next year and a potential build-up of back-to-back major tournaments in store, will Neville want to stick around? And are the Football Association reconsidering his position? What do the FA want from Neville?The FA have publicly backed Neville during a period of poor form which saw England lose seven of their last 11 games - including the loss of their SheBelieves Cup title.
In their other league defeat, a 2-1 home reverse against Liverpool in September, Chelsea had double the efforts on goal of their opponents, but again came up just short. We had relative control of the game at 1-0," Chelsea manager Frank Lampard said after Saturday's match at the Etihad. We were playing well, and throughout the game there were lots of positives, but we lost the game and it shows you that the finer details in these big games, in both boxes, can decide these ones.
The current suspension runs until 30 April due to the coronavirus pandemic, which was decided on Thursday. One motivation for completing the league by the end of June is that many players will be out of contract after that point, meaning some teams may find it hard to call upon a full squad. United and City join up to help food banks United 'plan £50m Aubameyang move' Setien 'to stay at Barcelona' Speaking to BBC Radio Solent, Semmens said: “We hope to get the league done by the end of June and that would be easier for everybody.

Goodison was only confirmed as the venue for the game on 10 June. It was initially considered a risk because of fears fans could congregate outside the ground. I am pleased it is at Goodison but not pleased we will play without supporters," Ancelotti said. No one is pleased to play without supporters, and I hope soon it will be safe to have people in the stands during games. Everyone in football says our supporters are the 12th man, but we have to respect the procedure.
The hosts went ahead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but Frankfurt's Daichi Kamada scored twice after the break, to extend Arsenal's winless run in all competitions to seven games, for the first time since 1992. Fans at a half-empty Emirates Stadium made their displeasure known by booing the under-fire Emery and some held up cards calling for the Spaniard to be sacked.
I really don't see reason why this match from Nicaragua U20 league will not bring at least three goals and with a little luck and more than that. Ok, it is the fact that play-offs is just started and probably teams are playing better in defense, than it was the case in regular part, but I will bet on goals because Real Esteli U20. This team is just brilliant for goals and I believe they will continue that way and this time. In last few matches, they are played 0-5, 4-1, 1-4, 3-2 and 4-1. Over is very very real.
Minsk is going to face Gorodeya for another match in the Belarusian league season and this match should be really close. Minsk won two of four matches on away and scored in the six goals while conceded five. The previous clash they won on away was against Slavia Mozyr. They beat them 3:1. Gorodeya started this season well but after good matches, they failed two wins twice in a row. They are struggling hard to score a goal and I don't think that they will be able to beat Minsk. My bet here is an Asian handicap for Minsk side
The Spaniard is through to the last sixteen of the Australian Open and takes on ninth seeded Kiki Bertens for a place in the quarter finals. Garbine Muguruza has slipped to number 32 in the world rankings but was at the top of that list just three years ago and in the top two in 2018. Last year saw her lose in the first round at both Wimbledon and the US Open but she reached the last sixteen here.
Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek kept out an Andriy Shevchenko header then recovered to somehow block the AC Milan striker's follow-up shot moments after this photo was takenAnd Jerzy Dudek of course. That double save of his late in extra-time, that was right in front of me, and I loved hearing the commentary of it years after the event - Mark Lawrenson just cannot let it go - he comes back to it a couple of minutes later to say how he cannot get over how good a stop it was.

It was so clever but felt so wrong. Gazza's tears1990 World Cup in ItalyThis was the summer that relaunched football mania in England as Sir Bobby Robson's side headed into a World Cup semi-final against West Germany. Paul Gascoigne was outstanding throughout the tournament and when his bottom lip wobbled and the tears flowed - after a booking that ruled him out of a final England would not reach - he captured the hearts of a nation.
One of the top three since I've been in England," said Klopp. He's difficult to defend, always on the shoulder. The only thing you can do is avoid the passes to him and that's what we'll try. But Leicester is not only Jamie Vardy. Brendan has done an excellent job there and they're a proper top class team.

Aston Villa failed to make the most of the run of fixtures that saw them play three of their fellow relegation candidates in a row, and having been turned over convincingly by Southampton and Watford in two of those games, relegation fears are starting to heighten.

AC Milan is having one bad season so far. For a club of their status, their current 14th place is way too low, and they are looking for a way to improve their game. Even their change of manager didn’t yield much better results, and the upcoming clash will also be a difficult one. So far they earned 13 points from the previous 12 rounds, and in their last 5 clashes, they won just once. They also haven’t been scoring many goals either, they netted 5 and allowed 7 of them in their most recent 5 affairs. But since they scored at least one or more in 4 out of 5 last home clashes, I think that they will manage to find the back of the net this time.
Captioned "Our quarantine #stayathome", the Bayern midfielder recently published a video on Instagram of him playing with his children.
