Pep Guardiola says Manchester City gain "satisfaction" from qualifying for next season's Champions League and not from overturning their Uefa ban. City were given a two-year ban from European club competitions for breaching Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, which was overturned on appeal. City hold a 2-1 lead over Real Madrid heading into their Champions League last-16 second leg tie next month. Boss Guardiola said they were "happy" after showing people "we were clean".

The decision also disregards the millions of pounds invested and countless hours expended collectively by clubs, and so has critical financial implications. In writing this joint letter, we recognise that the decision to expunge results for the 2019-20 season still pends official ratification from the FA Council. However, we believe it is unacceptable that such a decision has been handed down to us in this manner.
With champions PSG in pole position on 62 points from 25 games after Saturday's 4-4 draw at Amiens, Marseille have 52 while Lille stayed fourth on 40 after the visitors came from behind in an entertaining clash.

Steve Bruce's side are destined to finish midtable as the European spots are too far away and they're safely clear of relegation.

It is the final return leg game which will decide which club wins the title in Nicaragua and the first leg exceeded my expectations as I thought either a 0-0 draw or a 1-0 win for Esteli would happen and it was indeed 0-0 at half-time and somewhere after the 60 minute of the game Esteli opened the scoring but shortly after Managua FC had a reply and scored the 1-1 goal but it stayed like this till the end as it ended with under 2.5 goals and that bet was won but the under 2 goals bet was just void.
Wales Cymru North League 18th matchday. Colwyn Bay welcomes Bangor City. Both teams has been playing good in the league but recently the visitors has lost bit of form with just one victory in the last 5 league games, with 2 draws and 2 lost games, while the host won 4 straight matches before the lost game against 15th placed Porthmadog at home 1-2.
Here's how he did it. Building on firm foundationsChelsea had been ensconced in the top six of the Premier League for nigh on a decade by the time Mourinho arrived. With Roman Abramovich in the corridors of power Chelsea had thrown money at the team 12 months earlier, with Ranieri making some key signings in Joe Cole, Damien Duff and Claude Makelele. What was lacking, it was felt, was a coach with the swagger and the genius to turn a good side into champions.
As for competing with Ederson in a 50/50 challenge - good luck with that. The way he left Kelechi Iheanacho in a heap, before half-time, suggests he isn't joking. Did you know? Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Ederson has kept more clean sheets than any other Premier League goalkeeper (45). Defenders - Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Marcos Alonso (Chelsea) Lewis Dunk: This was a fabulous contest, played at times in shocking conditions.
Town chairman Rob York told BBC Sport that Savage played in defensive midfield and came on to "great applause", before helping his side see out the game. Savage managed to get a few telling touches to break up the midfield and used his experience to clear the Stockport lines on a couple of occasions," said York. Following the game and the warm down, Savage took time to chat to and have photos taken with the many fans waiting for the opportunity to meet with him.

Guardiola’s City team are prone to swift, dramatic implosions when circumstances start to stack up against them.

The Republic of Ireland international, 33, moved to St Mary's from Hull City in 2014. Long has scored 35 goals for Saints and made his 200th appearance in March.

Other sports people have used their position to speak out about important issues such as racism, including Rashford's England team-mate Raheem Sterling.
Barcelona's Arturo Vidal looks dejected with Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne and Barcelona coach Quique Setien after being shown a red card by refereeReuters TALKING POINT Were Napoli too defensive? In simple terms, this was catenaccio versus tiki-taka. But there are plenty who will feel that Napoli, as the home side, should have taken greater risks.
Bale held a fan's Welsh flag emblazoned with the message 'Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order' after victory over Hungary on Tuesday night which became the talk of the Spanish press in the following days. The forward was left on the bench by Zinedine Zidane and the crowd whistled when his name was announced before the game, then again when he entered the field of play in the 67th minute.
Angers host 2nd place Marseille in Ligue 1. Angers lost their first match since mid-October at the weekend as they were beaten 3-1 in Nice. It was a rather disappointing performance from Les Scoïstes but a rare one and they’ll be hoping to get back on form at the Stade Raymond Kopa. Angers currently sit third in the table but have the second-best home record with just one loss in their eight league games there.
They have failed to score in seven of those and kept just three clean sheets. They managed three wins at the group stages and these came back to back before the shocker by Basel. Their real concern will however be in their away form in this competition, having lost six of their last nine. They have however avoided defeat in the last two away matches in the competition, with a draw against Qarabag and a win over F91 Dudelange.
Odds are actually a bit better on the both teams scoring in this one but I have no fear that this game will end up just 1-1 even though the guests played 1-1 draws lately away at both Boluspor and Adanaspor AS, they also won prior to that with 3-0 away at Giresunspor and 3-0 away at Umraniyespor, but really the hosts make me believe they are capable of scoring 2+ goals in this being a home team with a record of 6-5-3 at home, 21 goals scored and 16 goals conceded.
Inter will against Ludogorets in match UEFA Europe League. Inter has just defeat Ludogorets in 1st leg with score 0-2. Beside that Inter will play this match in the home and surely my prediction that Inter can defeat Ludogorets with margin score is 2 goals. Moreover Inter always have more confidence in home match and surely Inter will have more chance to win on this match. Even though Ludogorets have good result on last 3 away match in qualification, I think Ludogorets can't be easy to beat Inter due to Inter have good defense and player. Therefore, I'm sure that Inter will be win on this match.

Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig. The forward, 24, has agreed personal terms with the Blues and, subject to passing a medical, will join in July after the German league season ends. Werner, who joined Leipzig from Stuttgart in 2016, has scored 32 goals in all competitions so far this season. I am delighted to be signing for Chelsea, it is a proud moment for me to be joining this great club," said the German international.
Last season Napoli was much better but perhaps they have been a bit too focused on the Champions League where they are really close to taking 1st place with an easy home game against bottom of the group Genk after taking a point at Liverpool last round. I watched them play really offensive minded at AS Roma and missing many glorious scoring chances and even lost the game unfair with 2-1 in the end while their first 3 away games of the season ended 4-1 win at Lecce, 4-3 win at Fiorentina and 4-3 loss at Juventus.
Al Ansar will host Al Taee for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this season. However, the hosts are in better shape in the last matches. They have two consecutive victories. In previous game Al Ansar is won 1-2 against Al-Nahda. Also, we have Al Taee who's is more ambitious team in this league. I think, the visitors have better team than their opponent. In last game Al Taee is won 5-0 against weak Hottain. However, Al Taee is a very unpredictable team. They have big fluctuations. In any case, I expect, the hosts to provide a strong resistance. My pick - Al Ansar to win.
Moments later Leeds had the chance of the half when a long ball hit defender Ben Cabango and dropped for Patrick Bamford, only for Leeds' top scorer to shoot too close to Woodman. Swansea threatened first after the break, with Conor Gallagher bursting beyond a couple of challenges before firing towards the near post where Meslier pushed the ball to safety. The next big moment for Bamford came when Hernandez, a half-time substitute, played a typically measured diagonal ball which Jack Harrison volleyed across the face of goal.
In December, Sherrock became the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship and this time she was heading for victory against the three-times BDO world champion. Durrant, also in his maiden Premier League campaign, was met by a chorus of boos from the crowd at a packed Motorpoint Arena and expected to be jeered every time he was on a finish.
In Germany, for some reason, we don't consider this a proper hat-trick. It needs to be in one half but also nobody scoring in between. We are so German we don't consider it a hat-trick. Haaland doesn't care. I saw him going off with the match ball. He'll consider it a hat-trick but somebody has to then tell him 'actually, you know what, it's not officially a hat-trick'. I don't think it's an issue for him to worry about.
The visitors levelled a minute before the break when Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer spectacularly failed to clear the ball after racing out of his box and Dennis Srbeny slipped it through his legs and went on to and score. Lewandowski, who came agonisingly close to scoring but was twice denied by Paderborn keeper Leopold Zingerle with a pair of superb saves, broke the deadlock in the 70th with a tap-in after fine work from Gnabry, but the visitors were not yet done.
It was a shame, because I really wanted to go. Obviously I knew that Mancini loved me, and how good Inter were as a club, but it did not materialise in the end. That was not the only time I saw a deadline day move fall through at the last minute. In August 2016, West Ham were going to take me on loan from Aston Villa, who had just been relegated from the Premier League. The clubs had agreed a fee and, if I played a certain amount of games, they would take me on a permanent deal as well.
Palace are still pretty solid, despite their poor form, but they are badly short of goals. They have failed to score in five of those six defeats, and it is hard to make a case for much changing on Monday night. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Samuel's prediction: I love Roy Hodgson, but Wolves are going to be fighting a bit harder and Raul Jimenez is always going to score. TUESDAY Watford v Man City (18:00 BST)For Watford to sack Nigel Pearson now is very strange even with the track record that the club's owners - the Pozzo family - have got with hiring and firing managers.
Mourinho would like to build his defence around Toby Alderweireld, who could leave for nothing at the end of the season. However, the 30-year-old Belgian may reconsider his future and sign a new deal, if Daniel Levy offers the right terms, says the Telegraph. Paper Round’s view: Mourinho historically has put more emphasis on experienced players than on bringing through young players.
Sarmiento Junin is in the better form, and position at the league table of this team, is showing their good time, in front of this clash. Mendoza is good at their home, and are hard to lose points, but they are facing very tough rival, which could play with a lot and low scored goals.
