Uefa invited United to compete in the European Cup the following season, only for the authorities at the English Football League to stubbornly refuse to allow them to take part. Busby and United would have to wait 10 more years to win the European Cup. Atletico Madrid are the only club to make the top 10 without ever being European champions. In 1974 they became the first, and only, side to lose the European Cup final in a replay - the first of three defeats in the final of that competition.
It's tournament football and in tournament football you're going to need every player in your squad. With young players, you get that energy, that freedom to play and we've got to make sure we give them the platform to go out and express themselves. It's a new team, a new season and a clear, new direction that we are going in.
Werder Bremen is in 17th place with 18 points while Bayer Leverkusen is in 5th place with 47 points. Home team wants to avoid the relegation zone and the bad moment while Leverkusen wants to catch the places for Champions League for the next season.
They top the group with one game to go and host second placed Valencia who trail them by two points. Defeat in this game and Chelsea beating Lille at home will see the Dutch side in the Europa League after Christmas. A draw will be enough to take them through though but they will want a win to finish top.
Not a patch on their old green and orange jerseyWerder Bremen have spent more seasons in the Bundesliga (56) than anyone else but that record could be coming to an end as they sit four points adrift of the promotion-relegation play-off spot. Claudio Pizarro is still going at the age of 41 - and has 10 games left before retirement to score a Bundesliga goal for a 22nd consecutive year. If they were an English team: Aston Villa (a few league titles and a European trophy but now battling relegation)Why should you support Bremen? You want a historic team to keep their top-flight position, you want to see Pizarro score 200 Bundesliga goals, Pierre Wome used to play for them (maybe that one is just me.
Hello everyone from this perfect game. I want to give you prediction about this very interesting game from Italy Seria A between two teams from Milano and they are Milan and Inter. Inter have good position to attack the title this year and they have three points less from Juventus. That's they must to take this game but Milan now is not like before and they have five wins last games. Milan the same need points because they are not good position and if they want to play this year in Europe they need points. That's why I think here this two teams will take a draw.
Today at Estadio Hernando Siles in La Paz we have match in Bolivia Division Profesional Clausura. Bolivar versus Always Ready and I think host team will be able to win this match by 2 or more goals differences. Bolivar is one of the best teams in league and they have good players. Bolivar is ranked at 1st place on table with 36 points and have 11 wins 3 draw and 3 lost. Guest is ranked at 6 place on table with 26 points and they play solid. I think Bolivar will be able to win this match 3-1 or 3-0.
City have been given individual training programmes and are advised to stay at home for the remainder of the week, while United are expected to follow suit after they canclled training at Carrington on Tuesday. O'Neill in limbo over Northern Ireland Michael O'Neill's future as Northern Ireland manager is in doubt following the postponement of Euro 2020.
Many of Europe's currently-suspended domestic leagues, as well as the European Champions League, hope eventually to complete their seasons this year. The ICC, which began in 2013, has been played in July and August in the United States and beyond. It has featured most of Europe's leading clubs, and many of the games have attracted massive crowds, including 109,000 for a Real Madrid versus Manchester United contest in Michigan in 2014.
Al Fateh fc have 1 win and 3 losses in the last 5 matches. They have scored 5 goals and conceded 8 goals in the last 5 league matches. At home they managed to win 1 and lose 2 of their last 5 games scoring 7 goals and conceding 9 goals.
The home side are 11 points behind second-placed Real Madrid and 13 adrift of their opponents. Their main concern is clinching a top four place to qualify for next season's Champions League. Currently, they are four points ahead of fifth-placed Getafe with nine games to play. Sevilla are unbeaten in their last six league games and have four points from the two games played since the La Liga season resumed.
There's an element of him getting himself back on track. I've spoken about the bigger picture to him. Dyche said. An incident has happened and he's had to recover from that, but we're not going to push someone who is not quite there and I wouldn't force anything on any player here, whether they are on loan or under contract.
After seeing several one-sided ties in the early rounds of this season's competition, the inclusion of an extra qualification spot for the more elite European sides has also been widely welcomed. Results like Arsenal's 13-2 aggregate defeat of Slavia Praha and Lyon's 16-0 trouncing of Russian side Ryazan-VDV will hopefully be seen less frequently once the new changes are implemented, creating an all-round more competitive tournament.
11 out of 13 Sheffield United away league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Only 25 goals have been scored in 13 Sheffield United away league games, 11 of those came in four matches. Aston Villa have failed to score in their last two league games. This is the first Premier League fixture to be played since the go-ahead was given to resume the season.
Two teams with different ambitions and both teams are in huge need of points right now. Zwickau is fighting to avoid relegation while Ingolstadt still have some chances for promotion. But my call here goes on Ingolstadt.I've watched Zwickau last game against the last place team od Sonnenhof and team that play for nothing and I was shocked from their bad performance. I mean when they could lost from a team that has 0 motivation what to say about team that has 100 motivation.Also there is huge quality gap between this two for sure. Ingolstadt are a very talented team with a lot of quality players and players with individual quality that can make a difference at matches like this.
Ancelotti: I have no idea about Zlatan's plans Carlo Ancelotti says he has no idea what Zlatan Ibrahimovic plans to do next after leaving LA Galaxy at the end of the MLS season. He is a good friend of mine. I have trained a lot of fantastic players. I know he finishes his period in the United States, I don’t know what his idea is.
Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings says the players were the "last people to be consulted" over the Premier League's "financially driven" 'Project Restart'.

The away team have been one of the hardest teams to score against, they have kept 3 clean sheets in their past 5 matches. They have been a team to score but have not been a big scoring team overall and this will probably keep this match low scoring. The away team also have a better set up in away teams when it comes to defending which has been getting some very good results in their game. They are the smarter team when it comes to defending and should be to do more than enough to keep this match low on goals
West Ham United will host Everton for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be a very tense match. Of course, both sides want to get a positive result. Yeah, West Ham want to win because they are constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. I believe, they are not convincing team. In previous game West Ham lost 1-0 against Sheffield Utd. Also, we have Everton who's is more ambitious team in this league. In previous game Everton is won 1-0 against Brighton. I think, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium. My pick - Everton to win.
Aris is certainly the best team in Europe and maybe in the world if you only watch home games in the last year. During that period, they won all their matches except against today's rival. That is certainly a good motive for them today. Aris will probably return to the first division if they win today so this is a very important match for them. Ayia Napa does not have a single win on this pitch. They have played 4 times in this field and only once went undefeated.
MANCHESTER, England, March 14 (Reuters) - UEFA is being urged to prioritise domestic competitions in the wake of the coronavirus, with pressure growing for Euro 2020 to be postponed.

The currently unattached, former Juventus manager comes with an impressive pedigree having secured five Serie A and four Coppa Italia titles, plus two Champions League finals. Though the Italian is said to be on a sabbatical this season. Others linked to the role include Carlo Ancellotti, Woles boss Nuno Espirito Santo, Mikel Arteta, Rafa Benitez and Patrick Viera, among others.
I expect Fulham to win this match, however, the key reason for my pick is connect with Aston Villa. The guests were good during the festive period. They won two of the three matches in that period, but suffered a big blow. Villa manager Dean Smith has lost two important players - striker Wesley and goalkeeper Heaton. Both players had scans on Thursday and the news were bad - they will be sidelined for a longer period, from six to nine months. According to me, they are irreplaceable. Heaton has missed just one of Villa's 21 Premier League games this season, while Wesley has started them all, scoring five goals and assisting one. Don't forget last season's player of the year John McGinn was ruled out until March with a broken ankle suffered in December. Having on mind that, I think Aston Villa will lose this match.
