And that history is on the side of Flamengo, who won the 1981 Intercontinental Cup - the forerunner to the Club World Cup - by overpowering Kenny Dalglish and co in Tokyo. While European clubs generally had an attitude to the Intercontinental Cup that was ambivalent at best, in South America winning the trophy was seen as a significant achievement - hence the "mark in history". More than 38 years on, we're here again: the six-time European champions against the best supported football club in Latin America.

Last season this fixture ended in a 3-1 win for the guests, so 4 goals scored back then but right now Crystal Palace is really hungry for the win as they have gone 5 games in a row without a win and they conceded exactly 2 goals in each of those games, still they looked fine against Liverpool at home last round conceding a late 2nd goal and only losing 2-1 in the end.

TALKING POINT - Does the end of the game give Spurs hope? Admittedly the absence of Son Heung-Min would have shaken Tottenham going into the game, but they did little to threaten in the first half and seemed to allow Leipzig to do as they wished in the first half - and they looked very impressive doing so.

Caballero brilliantly saved Chilwell's deflected cross, moments after Barnes' equaliser, and appeared a calming influence on Rudiger and Andreas Christensen when his side came under pressure. Leicester's dip?This was another Leicester performance in which they struggled to maintain the high standards they set earlier in the campaign. Since winning comfortably at Newcastle on 1 January, the Foxes have collected only four points from a possible 12.
The Foxes keeper denied Aguero again soon after, but he could do nothing to keep out Jesus' strike which brought a jubilant reaction from the away fans, and the Manchester City players joined them in celebration at the final whistle. It is almost an irrelevance that the defending champions have cut Liverpool's lead at the top to 19 points, but they have now won twice since being banned from European football for two years by Uefa, and can head for the Bernabeu for their Champions League last-16 tie with Real Madrid on a high after a difficult week.

Alarm bells are ringing," said Keown. I don't think he is going to last beyond the end of the season. I know people are saying he should be given more time but this is Manchester United, it is a massive football club. Phil Neville, a former player and coach at United who was also on Match of the Day, disagreed with Keown. I think they have got to stick with him," added Neville. The squad to me looks light, it looks inexperienced, it looks weighed down by the expectation.
Freiburg is in 8th place with 38 points while Borussia M'gladbach is in 4th place with 56 points. 5 matches until the end of the German Bundesliga and M'gladbach needs a win here to take a place for UEFA Champions League qualification in the next season and against Freiburg they seems more favorite. Freiburg is 4 points behind Wolfsburg that is in the place of Europa League qualification. However I think more M'gladbach must win here because the next weeks for them will be hard matches. They play against Bayern Munchen and Wolfsburg and against Freiburg I see them favorite to take all the points here. Asian Handicap here for more safety in the bet.
The differing approaches were probably best evidenced by their altercation during the Reds' match against Burnley in August.

Derby have dropped five points from a possible six with a loss to Bristol City and a draw with Huddersfield Town. Meanwhile, Fulham have also dropped five points in their last two league matches, having drawn with Millwall and lost to Barnsley.

Man Utd forward Sanchez joins Inter Milan on loanSanchez was United's highest earner on about £400,000 a week and said he didn't "regret going there", despite his struggle to make an impact.

United are trying to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes this month but the move has stalled over the fee and Solskjaer says doing deals in January is difficult.
We have so many games but we are happy with this. Watford had their chances but we scored ours. We could have made the game easier for us but it's intense to be constantly in charge of the game. We have to defend with passion not organisation sometimes and that was sometimes now, right?"Watford manager Nigel Pearson speaking to BT Sport: "It's always hard to come to places like this. There is a bit of risk and reward.
We have also advised our clubs of the absolute necessity of following hygiene best practice at stadiums, training grounds and other premises, as well as providing information to staff, fans, contractors, broadcasters and other media entering club premises," he said. The joint statement pointed out that the UK government viewed the home, schools and workplace as a bigger potential contributory factor to spreading the virus than sporting events.
Granada have had a good start to their return to La Liga. They host Valencia in their bid to make it to the last four of the Copa del Rey and are in reasonable form.

Shearer: "One of most iconic games in the Premier League. Liverpool v Newcastle produced some fantastic games over the years. It was a few months before I joined Newcastle but it was non-stop entertainment. It was an incredible game. I wasn't at Newcastle then but still followed their progress. It was a game they had to get something out of. They had a 12-point lead in February but going into the game they trailed United by three points but still had two games in hand.
Dusseldorf and Dortmund will face each other in the upcoming match in the Bundesliga. Dusseldorf this season have the following results: 6W, 10D and 14L. Meanwhile Dortmund have 19W, 6D and 5L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Newcastle, 13th in the table, are essentially free of the fear of relegation as they have built a 12-point gap between themselves and Bournemouth. A win for the Magpies could take them as high as tenth if other results go their way. Newcastle have been in fine form since the restart, extending a four-game unbeaten streak that includes two victories.

In contrast, Everton managed to win just one of their last five league games at Goodison Park, and their embarrassing 0-2 defat to Norwich in their last match on home turf plunged more than a couple of nails in to Marco Silva's Toffees' coffin.
But, in denying Sergio Aguero from the penalty spot, he did earn family bragging rights by eclipsing his father Peter Schmeichel's tally for Premier League penalty saves. Kasper's save from Aguero was his fourth in the English top-flight - one more than his dad made in his entire Premier League career. That makes the Foxes keeper tied fourth for Premier League penalty saves since Leicester's promotion in 2014, with only Simon Mignolet (six), Lukasz Fabianski (six) and Adrian (five) making more in that time.
The season break came out of time for Lok Zagreb, because with 5 wins in a row they jump to 3rd place. Osijek is fifth place, had a small phase of weakness (0-1-2) before the break and is now 4 points behind the hosts. So much does not separate the two teams. Lok Zagreb won a competitive win in the cup. A very important match for both teams. Zagreb is in very good form and they also perform very well at their stadium. If they win, it will strengthen their place in the Europa league zone. The guests are right under the Europa league zone and if they win they will make a big step in the fight for the Europa league.
