I said we had every chance and we were good enough. I said I'd been to a Uefa Cup final and lost and while it's not nice it was an incredible journey and I'd do anything to get there again. We had to seize the moment. That was the motivation and there was Roy in the background with a smirk on his face. We went out and did what we had to do, winning 3-2. Each chapter en route to Hamburg tells a different story.
And it is expected now that top-flight domestic football will be put on hiatus. Rightly so. If a manager is positive for coronavirus and his entire playing staff have to be placed in quarantine, there is no way they can fulfil fixtures. It will only be a matter of time before more cases come to light, and the full reality of what the world is facing seems finally to be taking hold at the Premier League.
In a match between Borgo Mogliano and Montottone in Macerata on Feb. Antonio Martiniello had given Borgo Mogliano's goalkeeper Matteo Ciccioli his marching orders as the hosts won 3-1.

He is not that quick, he is a strong runner but he is not rapid. Ndombele would add that dynamism that you need in midfield. Ndombele has made six appearances for Tottenham in 2020, with half of those from the benchMake-or-break summer ahead?I just hope that when Jose sat down with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy before Pochettino was sacked there was a conversation between them that went along the lines of 'if I am going to be here, I want to be here for a long period of time to build something and I need your backing to get the players in that I need and get the players out that I want out'.
So lucky for Spurs as Son arrives at the back post to put his side in front. Very much against the run of play, Alli's cross takes a wicked defection, loops over Krul and Son arrives at the back post to nudge the ball home. KEY STATS Each of Spurs' last two Premier League goals from open play have been scored by Dele Alli, with six hours and 55 minutes of game-time separating his opener against Norwich and his goal against Brighton on Boxing Day Son Heung-min has been directly involved in 11 goals (6 goals & 5 assists) in his last 10 Premier League matches against newly-promoted sides.

It seemed appropriate to tell him that, just as I had said before, I would step aside if he decided to return. He said that seemed perfect but he told me that he no longer wanted me. I was in a state of shock. I let the staff know and I wondered what I had done wrong. Spain finished top of their qualifying group after winning eight out of 10 games and scoring 31 goals.

Newcastle will have to recover quickly from defeat in their last Premier League outing at Burnley to avoid the second of the aforementioned scenarios from playing out, though they will take heart from the fact that their 1-0 reverse at Turf Moor was their only loss in four.
A club like Inter must also have a strong substitutes' bench," said Conte, whose side stayed three points behind leaders Juventus as they bid to end the Turin side's run of eight consecutive titles.

It will be his iconic trophy jig that will finally consign Liverpool’s title pain to history. Sadio Mane is the smart pick. The Senegalese, who only recently realised he would receive a winners’ medal, proved the architect of Liverpool’s blistering start as Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah flitted in-and-out of form.
Yeah, because there's no benefit in thinking too far ahead as that's when your focus goes. The manager always says the next game is the most important one of your life and that's why we go into the next game thinking anything can happen. The quality of every side we come up against means if we are just at 95% then we'll be beaten, which is why we have to be at 100%. Sum up what the past 18 months have been like.
Atlético need a victory at the Allianz Stadium to guarantee their place alongside Juventus in the knockout stages.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 25 goals versus Atlético Madrid in all competitions - only against Sevilla (27) has he netted more.
The next man in charge, whether that be a stop-gap in former boss David Moyes or a more ambitious appointment, will inherit an over-sized squad of players brought in by three previous managers, with the under-used squad members wondering if they might be better off moving elsewhere.

The hosts have played much better at home than they have on the road this season, securing all five wins in their own backyard, while Vitesse have performed well at home and on the road where they have picked up nine wins from eighteen matches.

Just as they did when they went to Anfield in October, Leicester made life difficult for their hosts, but created little and ended up leaving empty-handed. The scoreline would have been more damaging if not for the performance of Schmeichel, who made a series of fine stops against his former club - the pick of the bunch coming when he clawed away a fierce Mahrez strike. Leicester's title challenge is far from over with this defeat - a win over the leaders would quickly regain some of the momentum they lost here and in their home draw with Norwich last weekend.
Meanwhile, Chivas Guadalajara are another side looking to push for a play-off spot during the Clausura, having fell 2 points short in the Apertura phase.

The Department of Justice makes allegations against Nicolas Leoz, the former president of South American governing body Conmebol, and ex-Brazil federation supremo Ricardo Teixeira. Both are accused of taking money "in exchange for their votes in favour of Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup".

Klopp said Alexander-Arnold's crossing, which also led to a penalty against Leicester, was exceptional but he batted away questions on whether the right back was the best player in the world in that position. I'm not too interested, to be honest. We're not looking for one, let me say it like this," Klopp added.
Arsenal's form at the Emirates has been just as patchy, though there has been consistency in the Gunners games in terms of goals. Arsenal regularly combine some sparkling attacking play with haphazard defending – a mix that that has a noticeable effect on numbers behind their results.

PSG midfielder Julian Draxler came close after the break as he shot over with just the keeper to beat before firing against the foot of the post, while substitute Cavani squandered a good chance by scooping a finish over the bar in added time.

He's an example on and off the pitch. With Portugal, we train in the morning. In the afternoon everyone plays cards or PlayStation, but he goes to the gym.
