Overcoming history and now building a dynasty"The history is no burden any more. It is the basis for what we are doing. Last year we had 97 points so we were really close - it's not like it's been up and down with us. Here's the second year now where obviously we are pretty good. Winning all the time, that's really difficult because the other teams are too good for that. They have a good chance to improve of course as well - we have to be better, they have to, we will, they will and then we will see who is best.
Tournaments played in: 1984. Best finish: Winner (1984)The ultimate tournament performance? The Juventus playmaker was in a world of his own in 1984. Only Cristiano Ronaldo can match his tally of nine Euros goals - and he has played in 16 more games! Platini scored two hat-tricks in the group stage alone, got the winner in the last minute of extra time in the semi-final and the opener in the final.
Gael Monfils is in good form after winning an ATP tournament last weekend. Felix Auger-Aliassime has lost all of his previous three finals.

STOCKHOLM, Feb 5 (Reuters) - A Swedish court has granted an appeal by a fan of English Premier League side Newcastle United to add the club to his name following a dispute with the country's authorities over his love for the team. Rolf Corneliusson, a 54-year-old supporter from the island of Oeckeroe near Gothenburg, became a fan of the club as a child when his fisherman father brought home Newcastle's black and white kit from one of his many trips to England.
The 60-year-old's first match in charge will be the home game against Burnley on 26 December. Live reaction: Ancelotti appointed Everton boss"This is a great club with a rich history and a very passionate fanbase," added former AC Milan, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris St-Germain boss Ancelotti. There is a clear vision from the owner and the board to deliver trophies. That is something that appeals to me as a manager.
The Canaries remain bottom of the table following a 104-day absence. And the time away from Premier League action, due to the coronavirus pandemic, did little to spark any signs of a comeback from Norwich, who have just eight games to claw back a six-point deficit on 17th-placed Watford above the relegation zone. In the Premier League era, no team with 21 points or fewer after their 30th game of a season has survived the drop.

He soon made an impression at the Abe Lenstra Stadium - his first-team bow coming at 19 - and before long the club was providing Ziyech with a springboard to success. However, joining FC Twente in 2014 in the midst of the club's financial crisis brought unique challenges, as did his 2016 transfer to Dutch giants Ajax, where he would find himself caught up in fan unrest as the club endured a five-year title drought.
Salah turned provider after 69 minutes with a slide-rule pass to Sadio Mane, who finished with precision as Liverpool's superiority was stamped all over this game. Relive Wednesday night's Premier League Liverpool are 23 points clear of Manchester City in second placeFabinho's extra special nightLiverpool's world-class attacking trio of Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Salah take most of the headlines - but no-one should underestimate the influence of Brazilian Fabinho.
Seoul had a really good season last term and they are the only club from South Korea who in the Champions League in Asia won both games played by them so far, they were games in February this year. Very attacking minded side but really not that solid in defense, they got to play in the cup here at Gangwon last season and lost the game with 3-2. They played in the league late in the season here as well and once more lost the game with 3-2, so not only did they lose those two games but they also conceded 6 goals total but not that bad scoring 4 goals scored as well.
Wales, who have qualified for their third major tournament, will play against Switzerland and Turkey in Baku and then Italy in Rome. Scotland and Northern Ireland - plus the Republic of Ireland - are all in the play-offs, which will be held on 26 and 31 March. Scotland need to get past Israel at home and then Norway or Serbia away to qualify.
My next tip for today is from the Champions League, we have a match between the Valencia CF and Chelsea teams. This is a match in which it is difficult to pick the favorite because both teams can reach the win. The home team at this stage of the competition takes third place in the group with seven points. The last results noted by the team look good three wins, a draw and one defeat.
But the fact is they did not carry enough of a threat in attack, and while Rashford is out injured, that situation does not look like changing. So I don't know what United fans are thinking. I would imagine the ones who were at Anfield walked out of the stadium feeling a little bit confused. Some of them were probably thinking they could not really criticise what they saw, because the team dug in and gave it a go.
Mick McCarthy says being denied the chance to potentially lead the Republic of Ireland to a European Championship finals is "hugely disappointing" but he "fully understands" the decision. McCarthy was replaced by Stephen Kenny with immediate effect on Saturday following the postponement of the Republic's Euro play-off with Slovakia. Kenny had been due to succeed McCarthy in August, but Uefa's decision to push Euro 2020 to 2021 led the FAI into bringing forward their Under-21 boss's promotion to manage the senior team.
If you are not confident, it's better to stay at home. If you're confident it's not going to be easy but if you're confident you're going with everything that you have and that's what I want the boys to do, go with everything we have. Mourinho described Kane as "irreplaceable" and said Sissoko has been has been one of his "best performers" since taking over, but despite the setbacks he prefers to look at the positives.
So just how good can he be? 'A nightmare for defenders' - the view from inside Man Utd Solskjaer certainly knows a thing or two about what it takes to be a goalscorerSome eyebrows were raised when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sanctioned the departures of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku in the summer and, rather than bringing in a big-money replacement, he instead put his faith in Greenwood. But that decision now appears to be vindicated, with Greenwood having already scored more goals than Sanchez did during his time at Old Trafford.
This is probably the most interesting match from this round in Danish Super league and I believe that we will see here at least three goals and maybe even more than that, it is pretty clear. So, AGF is team who is in excellent form and they are won in last three matches in league, 1-0, 1-0 and in last round 4-2. On the other side, Brondby is better team and they are also in good form - they are won in last five of six matches. Yes, over is very real here and I will try that. It is more than ok.
But they keep getting results because of their attitude and also because that is just what great teams do. Let's not forget the number of times they have been absolutely amazing to watch, either. The way they battered Palace was a reminder of just how good they are, and I am sure we will see them give the same treatment to more teams this season. Liverpool's next challenge - keeping their crown Media playback is not supported on this device We will attack Premier League title, not defend it - Klopp In the past, Klopp's Liverpool have had to respond to disappointment and have bounced back the following year, but now they have a new challenge, which is to retain their crown.

Northampton Town is a club from League 2, and tonight in FA Cup they will face a club from Championship, Derby County. Visitors are strong favorites for a victory, not just because a gap in divisions, but also because of their main star Wayne Rooney, who joined the club in January. If this duel ends with a draw, it will be played second leg, and I am sure Derby coach Phillip Cocu don't want that to happen. Derby not playing too much offensive, Martin will be their attack, but with a Rooney in the squad, I expect from them to win in this duel with more than 1.5 goals
Italy continue their quest to win a first match in the Six Nations since 2015. This is their best chance of doing so but Scotland look too strong for them. They have lost to Ireland and England but had their chances in those matches. Italy have lost to Wales and France and have conceded 10 tries in those two defeats. Go for Scotland to get the win here and almost certainly condemn Italy to the wooden spoon.
About 10,000 people were able to join. Verdict: Seems to make sense, no? Why not?There are some drawbacks, though. Firstly, will you just spend the whole 90 minutes scrutinising your own appearance, like we definitely don't do during our morning editorial meeting?Also, Zoom fatigue is a real thing. A lot of us use these video conferences for work now - do we really want that encroaching into the footie?Socially distanced seatingIf all else fails, why not actually just put people in stadiums, but limit the amount of fans that are allowed to enter and make them sit apart?This is what happened at the Hungarian Cup final on Wednesday.

Walter Ferreti will against Managua in match Nicaragua Playoff. My prediction this match could be the end score is under 2 goals due to on last 2 match in head to head that score always under 2 goals. Even though Walter Ferreti have fantastic score on last 3 match in the home due to Walter Ferreti can make total score is 11 goals. Meanwhile Managua on last 3 away match that Managua only can make total score is 2 goals. Nevertheless, this match will tight from both team due to this match is playoff and surely both team will playing carefully.
They scored after one corner and one penalty and they had just one more chance, while we had seven to eight chances to win the match. We defended very well against strong attackers. The only thing I am ashamed about from my team is that after we scored, we conceded possession in our half and we allowed them to come back into the game. That was important as this moment was the moment to win the match.

How will the draw work?The teams will be divided into two pots, with the first consisting of all of the group-stage winners, the other all the runner-ups. No team can face another club from the same country or a team that they played during the group stage. That means that Liverpool could not face Tottenham, Chelsea or Napoli. Manchester City would also avoid their fellow English clubs and Atalanta.
Paper Round’s view: Pochettino spent years at Tottenham Hotspur being denied the necessary resources by Daniel Levy, so he should do himself a favour and avoid working for Ed Woodward who would give him similar problems. Allegri meanwhile probably won’t find a club as big as United who would give him a job, as he did nothing especially impressive at Juventus.

Espanyol have been quietly efficient in their work this season, an opening matchweek draw in the reverse fixture being the only blip for the team but their qualification is assured and the pressure is off for their trip to Budapest.

A Leigh Griffiths strike was heading for the net, only for defender Josh Meekings to stop the ball with his hand a couple of yards from the goal line.
The coronavirus outbreak has cleared the English football calendar until at least 30 April, leaving clubs up and down the country with difficult decisions to make as their cashflow dries up. One of the toughest decisions is what to do about paying players and non-playing staff. The Professional Footballers' Association has written to all of its members urging them not to agree any reduction or deferral in wages until they have spoken to the union.
Video - Klopp: You can't break records just because you want to01:10 "They did exactly what they wanted to do, we did not. That's how football works," he is quoted as saying by the BBC. The first half was a tough one, a lot of second balls, running here and there, we had the ball a lot but we didn't come in the right positions to cross, the right positions to finish, against a really good, organised side, with a top set-up for this game.

Sandy beaches, sunsets and of course a wild party scene. Ibiza is better known for superstar DJs and nightclubs than football, but on Wednesday night that could all change - at least for one night. Barcelona are in town to face UD Ibiza in the last 32 of the Copa del Rey. When the draw was made, many envious football fans had the same thought on social media - "best away game ever". The match will be held at the Estadi Municipal de Can Misses, which is increasing its capacity from 4,500 to a sell-out 6,445 especially for the game.
It's fair to say PSG's season is going exactly to plan so far and the side have been impressive across all fronts. In Ligue 1 they are well on course to retain their title and already have an 8 point lead at the top with a game in hand; they're also into the quarter-finals of the French League Cup and most impressively, they dropped just two points in the process of winning their Champions League group.
The performance generated huge praise not just from the media and fans but the England camp itself. Brown: "Tony Adams acknowledged it. He singled me out at the end of the game and shook my hand. He complimented our performance and admitted they were incredibly lucky to go through. I didn't know him and I had never met him before, so he didn't need to do that. We gained respect. When I go to England now, people still talk about it and mention how good a team we had.
That period is set to expire late on Monday night, meaning in theory that the club could return to training on Tuesday. However, the club have taken the decision to postpone training until further notice. As a result of the current situation we are clear it would be inappropriate and irresponsible to ask the players to come back at this time,” a club statement read.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said that the position regarding the top flight "remains particularly complicated". Leaders Celtic are 13 points ahead of Rangers at the top having played a game more, while Hearts are four adrift at the bottom, with most teams having eight games still to play. Everyone is aware of Uefa's desire for the family of European football to work together to resolve the issues that confront us all," Doncaster said.
The draw means fourth-placed Chelsea are five points clear of Manchester United, in action later in the day at Arsenal, and six clear of Spurs.

How long he can hold it together is anyone's guess. The new Tottenham manager has been handed one of the best squads in the country, the best stadium in the world and one of the best academies in the game - and that is all accompanied by state-of-the-art training facilities. If Mourinho can't win trophies at this club, he should consider retiring from football permanently. Let's face it, that's why he's been hired - to win trophies.
The Mexican forward has a great on-field understanding with Jota, and his initial charge from midfield led him to add the third goal.

Norwich crumble againIs it too late for Farke to change his tactics as his side fight to stay in the league?His side have won admirers for their attacking intent in matches, but would setting up more defensively, akin to what Steve Bruce has done at Newcastle, reap them more points in the final third of this season?
