As La Liga president Javier Tebas - a man with his own agenda to press, who has nonetheless spoken out consistently against financial abuses in certain quarters - said on Friday night: “UEFA is finally taking decisive action. Enforcing the rules of Financial Fair Play and punishing financial doping is essential for the future of football.
Instead it was Hull who scored to set up a tense finale as Kamil Grosicki's free-kick from the edge of the box took a wicked deflection to land in the back of the net. However, Chelsea held on to edge victory and ensure their place in Monday's fifth-round draw. Reaction from Saturday's FA Cup matchesBatshuayi stakes his claim?With Tammy Abraham out injured and Chelsea rumoured to be considering striker options before the transfer window closes on Friday, this game represented a big chance for Batshuayi to prove to boss Lampard that he can have a part to play.
it is pretty clear why I decide to go with draw in this match because hansa Rostock is favorite for the win but obviously they are not better team then hallescher and also hansa did not played draw for 10 games in a row and I think it is perfect time for that to happen,hale she has 5 wins on the road this season which is pretty good but also they played draw just one time on the road and that is why I pick draw but withdraw it is never sure so I of course don't want to recommend this bet

There will be an upset somewhere on FA Cup third round weekend - but who will be the victims?BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson has taken a look at all 32 of this weekend's ties and given his verdict on who might spring a surprise. For selected matches, including the BBC's two televised games - Liverpool v Everton (16:01 GMT KO on Sunday) and Arsenal v Leeds United (19:56 on Monday) - BAFTA nominated comedian and Ladhood star Liam Williams has made his predictions too.
Rangers manage to pass Braga in the previous round after two wins 3-2 at home and 0-1 away. They were the underdogs in this time, but at least in the away game, they didn`t leave any chances for Braga. They played almost perfect and the score could be even higher if Hagi didn`t missed the penalty. I like the fighting spirit of the team and Gerard suits perfect for them. Leverkusen are in a great form this year, manage some great wins and score in almost every game. I am sure that we will see an open game in which both team will have their chances.
Tenerife are the worst home team in the league so far with a 1-5-4 record after 10 games and in half of the 10 games they failed to score a goal. But in 6 of the last 9 games they also conceded less than 2 goals.
The visitors are backed up by in form forward Lautaro Martínez. He has scored in his last three UEFA Champions League appearances for Inter – he could become the fifth Argentinian to score in four consecutively, after Hernan Crespo (2002), Lionel Messi (six occasions), Sergio Agüero (2019) and Ezequiel Lavezzi (2013). Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku scored his 10th goal in 11 matches for club and country at the weekend.
Telstar will be meeting with the home team Volendam and this game we have predicted that they will give us an over of 2.5. Total goals as looking at at the last games they have meet together they have given out over of 2.5 in many games
Rapid Wien is currently playing quite well. The home team took 40 points with 3rd place in the table. They won 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 appearances. In total, the home team brought 11 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses from the beginning of the season so far. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote ..
Leandro Trossard made an impact after coming on in the second half, flashing two shots wide with United goalkeeper De Gea rooted to the spot, and the United goalkeeper had to react sharply to keep out Connolly's curling strike and Neal Maupay's drive. Brighton face a huge game against bottom-of-the-table Norwich on Saturday, knowing victory will give them some breathing space before hosting champions Liverpool and second-placed Manchester City in their following fixtures.
It was poor defending from City full back Benjamin Mendy that handed Wolves the equaliser with less than ten minutes remaining. The Frenchman in trying to usher the ball out for a goal kick was robbed by Traore, who zipped a low pass across the goal to Raul Jimenez, who slotted home. The dramatic winner came in the 89th minute when Matt Doherty weaved his way through the City defence before poking a left-foot shot past Bravo.
Apparently, aged 15, he once asked a police officer with him to use a laser pen and 'red dot' one of the opposition players. I kept saying to him, 'see, he's following you'," William laughed: "It put him off for about 10 minutes!"He wants Grealish in the England squadWhen Crouch and the team ask William if - in his role as president of the FA, he might get rid of Gareth Southgate were England to have a bad run of games - he concedes that "that might be a bit difficult!".
Las Sabanas are second to last in the league with a 3-3-8 record but at home they have a 2-1-0 record in the last 3 matches scoring 7 goals and conceding only once. And so far they have scored in each home game in the league.
The Scottish season was halted on March 13 and is suspended until at least June 10, with clubs losing out on matchday revenue as a result of the outbreak. Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic said the measures agreed upon will apply from April to June, after which the situation will be reviewed. All Scotland's 42 professional clubs will vote later on Friday on a proposal to end the Championship, League One and League Two immediately and do the same with the Premiership if and when it becomes clear the season cannot be completed.
Juventus is in the drop of the form, and they have lost few games in the time, against some of the low placed teams. They will face young Real team, which was close to big win in Managua, against Walter, but conceded a late goal for 1:1 draw.
Roll of honour Let's take a quick (bullet point assisted) trip down memory lane and revisit the winners of the last 10 Ballon d'Ors. Spot the odd one out. Luka Modric 2017: Cristiano Ronaldo 2016: Cristiano Ronaldo 2015: Lionel Messi 2014: Cristiano Ronaldo 2013: Cristiano Ronaldo 2012: Lionel Messi 2011: Lionel Messi 2010: Lionel Messi 2009: Lionel Messi 11:05 - 'There are no losers' Virgil van Dijk is already pre-empting defeat in tonight's ceremony by insisting there will be "no losers".
Tottenham say their initial findings following the alleged racist abuse of Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger are "inconclusive" but a "thorough" investigation will continue. Play was stopped during Chelsea's win at Spurs on Sunday after Rudiger said he heard monkey noises. We have engaged lip readers to study the footage and contacted Chelsea for further information from their players," Spurs said in a statement.
Their defensive record is hardly going to get better this weekend. Genoa have scored at least twice in seven of their last eight clashes with Lecce. We see them adding to that run, with the visitors seeing both teams score in 71% of their trips this term. With that form following Lecce’s high-scoring record, we expect goals in this clash. Both teams to score is our pick,
Player contracts, some of which end in June, could be an issue although world governing body FIFA has said it is looking into possible 'dispensations'. The problems facing Premier League clubs, who are among the rich elite of the world game, are minor compared to those facing lower league teams. They now face cash-flow problems with no ticket revenue.
Players put their long-term health at risk by playing football and exposing themselves to head injuries - the least that can be done is to make sure that concussion is assessed and treated properly throughout a match.

Derby of the league in the moment, where two leaders are playing in the match that could show which team is more serious challenger for the first place in the playoff. There is a lot to be played, and visiting squad is one of the competition surprises so far. However, after having draw in the previous round, Diriangen should keep here with the caution.
Match between Ruh Brest vs Ynergetyk BDU. I think that away team will may win and my bet on this match is 1 + 0 ah (dnb). I think that home team not as strong as Energetyk. This is clash of Belarus football league, Ruh Brest is nothing special this season and they are maybe 50% worst team away from home then it is case with home games so I believe that Ynergetyk is favorite in this match. They play very good on always and they play more time in this league. Ruh Brest is a Benjamin in the league and does not play so well.
How many will be still standing to take part in season 2020-21?Hearts owner Ann Budge is preparing a fresh reconstruction proposal, which will include an expanded top flight to save her club from relegation. But it will have to take into account the chaos below. Might the proposed reconfiguration have to focus on clubs who are willing to play matches in empty stadiums? Maxwell has conceded Scottish football will undoubtedly be "different" and may not be "in the format that we are used to seeing it".

We just need to focus on the positives, what we've done well. Ayew equals best goal return - the statsCrystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew's goals this season have won his side 12 points. Only Andy Johnson in 2004-05 (15) won more in a single Premier League season for the Eagles. Ayew has equalled his best goal return in a Premier League season - also netting seven goals in 2015-16 with Aston Villa and in 2017-18 with Swansea.
Messi responded by saying Abidal should name which players he had in mind so as not to tarnish the image of the entire squad. Messi's intervention dominated the front pages of Wednesday's sports newspapers: Sport said his reaction had caused a 'tsunami', Marca declared the Argentine had delivered 'a knockout blow', while AS headlined their edition 'FC Chaos'.
Smith's wild lunge on Costa handed Leeds a chance from the spot which Klich converted with ice-cold precision and Leeds moved up a gear after the restart as Costa caught the defence napping to slot home. They were unlucky not to be completely out of sight as Bamford hit the bar and forced a smart near-post save from Jack Butland, while Kalvin Phillips fizzed a shot over from 18 yards. Cooper's third before the hour mark was definitive, smashing in off the post after Hernandez crept in behind the Stoke defence, and the provider turned scorer to sidefoot the killer fourth as Bielsa's Whites turned on the style.
Chris Coleman, a friend of Speed's, took on the project and, although he struggled initially, he knew he had one of Wales' finest generations of players at his disposal. With Ben Davies, Joe Allen, Aaron Ramsey and others by Bale's side, Wales now had the strength in depth to allow their talisman to shine brighter. In qualifying for Euro 2016, Bale scored seven and assisted two of Wales' 11 goals. Three of those were winning goals, as time and again he proved his country's saviour.
Liverpool are, of course, on the verge of winning a first top-flight title in 30 years, but how quickly could they achieve that and what else is there to look out for? BBC Sport takes a look at some of the issues still to be resolved. What still needs sorting out at the top? The title was tantalisingly within reach for Liverpool before the coronavirus pandemic brought a halt to the domestic football programme.
But Kasper Schmeichel blasted a goal kick at team-mate Wilfred Ndidi, who then brought Wilson down in the box and Stanislas converted. Moments later, Solanke fired the hosts in front and Leicester found themselves a man down after Soyuncu's reaction. A shot from Stanislas then found the net via a big deflection off Jonny Evans and Solanke scored his second to give the Cherries their first win in 10 games.

Carlo Ancelotti's Everton, unbeaten in five league games, host Arsenal on Sunday. With Liverpool's title procession likely to continue when they host third from bottom West Ham United on Monday, the battle for second place goes head to head on Saturday. Manchester City shrugged off their looming UEFA ban by comfortably beating West Ham on Wednesday, moving four points clear of Leicester City, but they will be given a much tougher test of their morale at the King Power Stadium.
In their last match Istanbul Basaksehir lost 4-3 to Konyaspor but Trabzonspor could not take advantage, as they also lost to Denizlispor. With that escape, Istanbul Basaksehir will want to be sharper this time and will be glad to play at home, where they have no loss in the last 15 matches. The hosts have lost just one of the 16 home matches played so far in the league – the defeat came in their very first home match, against Fenerbahce and they will be keen to finish on a high.
The home team Monchengladbach held host Leipzig with 2-2 to help this team not be abandoned in the race to the Bundesliga championship this season. They are currently in the fourth position on the table with 4 points less than the team currently headed by Bayern Munich. In this round, Monchengladbach will be back home to host Hoffenheim and a victory will surely help the team continue to chase the top 1 and they will keep a place in the group to participate in the Champions League next season. On the other side of the line, Hoffenheim was not in good shape when losing to Wolfsburg at home with a score of 2-3
It’s turned a little sour since that 2-0 defeat, with Kane’s injury compounding the misery, but it’s hardly the most disastrous of spells. In truth, there hasn’t been much life at Tottenham since the end of 2018 - aside from the performance-masking run to the Champions League final - and they are certainly no worse under Mourinho than the final embers of Mauricio Pochettino's spell.
It's a howler from De Gea! Sarr scuffs a shot into the ground, but De Gea lets it slip straight through his hands at the near post and Watford are ahead. PENALTY! Wan-Bissaka brings down Sarr with a rash tackle and Watford have a great chance to double their lead. No doubt about that decision. GOAL! Watford 2-0 Man United (Deeney pen).
Carlo Ancelotti could easily be referred to as "The Perfector" - the man an already successful team brings in to take them one step further and win the coveted grand trophies reserved for the very best. A proven winner with a trophy laden cabinet both as a player and as a coach, Ancelotti is the maestro associated with the big clubs and the big names in football. Now he is the manager of Everton, who have not finished above seventh place in the Premier League since 2014 and are 15th at Christmas this year.
Dynamo Brest have dominated in the league last season. They have won 23 games, drew 6 matches and have only lost once. They were impressive in defense with 22 goals allowed. Dynamo Brest had a pretty slow start of the new season but this is a solid team, especially at home.
Neither of these two teams have been in particularly great form in recent weeks. Both teams have been struggling to find results, as well as form in front of goal. As a result, we feel that this fixture is likely to produce a low scoring contest.
With Diego Costa back in the Atletico line up, the perennial pantomime villain almost had an immediate impact, finding the side-netting in the first minute of the match. Liverpool, who welcomed Jordan Henderson back into the side, but were without first-choice goalkeeper Alisson, settled and kept plugging away with accurate cross after cross causing plenty of problems for the visitors.
Leicester City copied the good habits of their main title rivals to see off an Everton side in dogged and defiant mood, trailing until well into the second half before picking up momentum from Vardy's equaliser then snatching that winner. It is what teams chasing titles do, pick up points even when they are not at their best and this was a reminder to Liverpool that the Foxes are not going away any time soon.
