Even those of us who are fairly immune to the emotions surrounding a sporting event were choked at these wonderful moments before kick-off. Bocelli was accompanied to the centre circle by Ranieri, who demanded, and was given, silence before a truly wonderful rendition of "Nessun Dorma". The formalities of the trophy presentation were completed after the game on a day that now has added poignancy after Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who helped built that title side, was one of five people killed when his helicopter crashed outside The King Power Stadium on 27 October 2018.
Sunday's bash came a day after PSG's bad-tempered 5-0 victory against Montpellier, that was notable for incidents involving a pink-haired Neymar and team-mate Kylian Mbappe. Neymar shrugged off an injury scare, taunted the opposition with his signature tricks and raged at the officials. Mbappe, 21, reacted angrily to being substituted midway through the second half. These are distractions, and they give the impression we are not serious, not professional," said Tuchel, in his post-match comments when discussing Neymar's party.
Sadio Mane had a goal awarded by VAR as Liverpool made it 10 Premier League wins in a row, but Wolves were left to rue a second intervention from Stockley Park as they had one chalked off in a 1-0 loss at Anfield. Less than 48 hours since their 3-2 victory over Man City, some eyebrows may have been raised as Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo decided to rest two of his top scorers Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore.
Chennaiyin will host Kerala Blasters for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. Also, both teams have a poor results in the last matches. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. In my opinion, the visitors have a real chance to pick up the victory. Kerala Blasters have an effective attack in recent times. In last game Kerala Blasters played in a 2-2 draw with Jamshedpur. Also, we have Chennaiyin who's is one worst teams in this league. Hosts have low potential. I think, they have chance relatively to win. My pick - Kerala Blasters to win.
There is no deliberate handball in there," he said. I think it is a bit of a farce rule at the moment. We've been the victims of a couple of those decisions. I still don't think it is the right decision if I am being honest. One has gone for us and we will gladly take that but I hope the game isn't dominated by that decision and is looked at as a decent performance from us. But did VAR get it correct? Kane's strike was ruled out by VAR because Moura was deemed to have handled the ball in the build-upAs frustrating as the decision was for Tottenham, VAR was not in the wrong.
That could be somewhere in the midlands, or even the north-west. The idea of everyone flying up or down the country in coaches or planes doesn't work. It would just add to the confusion and the tiredness of the players. If the games were all central and the players are based nearby, then they have not got travel problems within this as well. Is behind closed doors 'better than nothing'? England's game against Croatia in October 2018 - their 988th senior international - was their first to be played behind closed doors.
Hertha Berlin fc and Union Berlin fc are going to lock their horns for the second time this season in Bundesliga premier league, the guests have won their first game of H2h. The great performance shown by Hertha Berlin in their last away game to Hoffenheim fc where they won by three goals to nil is expected to be available during this game so that they can take maximum points. It seems that the hosts are on three games winning streak and they levelled their last game at this place when they were visited by Werder Bremen.

Liverpool's season has been a complete team performance and Fabinho, understated but hugely influential, has played his full part despite a lengthy absence through injury in the middle of the campaign. Palace outclassed on painful night Crystal Palace did not have a single touch in Liverpool's box - it's the first time any side has failed to do that in a Premier League match since Opta has been collecting data for this statisticCrystal Palace arrived at Anfield accompanied by talk of European qualification after a very solid showing under manager Roy Hodgson this season and their very impressive first 'Project Restart' win at Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Clarets' 1-0 win over Newcastle last week helped to halt a slide of three straight defeats, though Chris Woods' winning header was just the second time Burnley found the net in 360 minutes of top flight football.
He did say, however, that referees everywhere were grateful for the safety net provided by VAR. NO RED CARD The 48-year-old Yorkshireman speaks from experience, having been heavily criticised for showing Nigel de Jong only a yellow card for a kung-fu kick to Xabi Alonso's chest during the World Cup final in South Africa.
This is a big test for Arteta, though. There is a reason why Burnley have established themselves in the Premier League, and it is because their blueprint works. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Georgia's prediction: Sorry, Gooners.

It is perhaps surprising for an industry which derives so much of its revenue from broadcasting deals, and which receives more media coverage than any other sport or indeed business, that there has been such a mixed message. What's happened is about football's failure to operate with one voice and without overall leadership.
Jong Utrecht and Dordrecht will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie. Jong Utrecht this season have the following results: 8W, 7D and 8L. Meanwhile Dordrecht have 3W, 6D and 14L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Former Bayern Munich player Franck Ribery was sharply criticised by ticket-paying fans in Germany a few seasons ago after doing that. Leipzig top the league on 40 points, one ahead of champions Bayern Munich, who are on a roll having won their last five league games. Gladbach, in third on 38, could take over the lead with a win, but Bayern, facing Mainz 05, are also hoping for a Leipzig slip-up to allow them to go top of the table with a victory.
Like many industries, cricket recognises the challenges it currently faces; the players have been alert to the need for them to play their part. The coronavirus pandemic will continue to put financial pressure on the game and this initial two-month agreement will support the game for the period of April and May.
An uncompleted competition is unsatisfactory for everybody, players as well as supporters,” Feyenoord technical director Mark Koevermans said. Belgium had earlier on Thursday called time on their season, leaving Club Bruges to be crowned champions. Last week 17 of the country’s 24 first and second division clubs – many facing potential financial ruin -- wrote to the professional league authorities calling for the rest of the season to be cancelled.
There were wins for Brighton and Southampton, while Tottenham drew 1-1 against Crystal Palace. Have a look at my team of season and you can create your own at the bottom. Goalkeeper - Ederson (Man City) When Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola dispensed with the services of former England goalkeeper Joe Hart I wondered what he was doing. When I saw Ederson's brand of goalkeeping, I couldn't make up my mind whether Guardiola had bought a goalkeeper or another centre-back by mistake.
The Dinamo Minsk reserves have so far been the strongest team in the league with a 5-1-0 record after 6 games. And with 19 goals scored and only 2 conceded they also have both the best offence and defense in the league. They have won the last 3 league games with at least a 3 goals difference.

The Argentinian is ranked 25 places above his opponent and has shown the better form this year.

We are capable of beating any team if we play to our standard and play very well, which we did. You could see everyone was buzzing from the first minute. Everybody from the first minute to the last minute gave everything they had, even those who came on from the bench. This form can be sustainable because it's hard work, belief and determination. The group are together working towards one goal. I'm not saying we're not going to lose games - sometimes we will.
Accrington is in good form at this moment even winning a home game with Bolton with no less than 7-1 in the league lately as in their last 6 league games they are 4-2-0 at this moment, they have won recently with 1-0 away at Blackpool or 2-0 win at home a few days ago against a decent Burton side, and I trust they should be able to win this one by at least one goal difference in the end as well.

Hi! Their only previous encounter was the reverse fixture of this matchup which Lokomotiv Moscow won with a 2-1 score. It fits for me, as I know that both teams can score. The only question is - when? :) Tambov team have win in their last three league games, with more than 1 goal in each clash. In 2 of them, both teams have managed a goal to each net. So? Overall, Tambov has scored 9 times in the last 5 fixtures. Nice! :) Lokomotiv Moskva didn't show their good performance, as they have not win yet in 5 last matches, but have scored in 4 of that games. Pick on DRAW 1:1 or 2:2. Good luck!

They also won against Valencia by 2-1 goals. Their last victory against Mallorca put them on the 12th spot and they are 6 points adrift of the relegation zone right now.
The closest United came was when a long throw from Neville almost fell for Cole on the six-yard line. He was about to shoot when Linke’s desperate tackle diverted the ball off him and just wide. Turning the tide Sir Alex Ferguson gives Teddy Sheringham his final instructionsGetty Images The only thing United could really claim in the first half was the moral high ground.
Maclaren has seven goals so far this term but has only played three games due to injury, scoring two goals twice and netting a hat-trick against Brisbane Roar last weekend. Despite his three goals, City still ended up on the losing end, with Brisbane’s four goals giving them the win; Melbourne City will be looking to come back themselves after that loss. Florin Berenguer remaining on the sidelines will weaken them but there is plenty of talent in the Melbourne City squad and they will be hopeful of having enough to leave Sydney with all three points.

Sunday's match in the Bundesliga. What today plays a key role in the match, the home field factor or the good form of the guests. Wolfsburg has slowed down recently in the championship. In the five extreme matches of the championship, only one victory, four losses. The last match the team won in LE at Saint-Etienne. Wolfsburg today will try to win. But even if you manage to earn 1 point, it will be a success. Borussia Monchengladbach defeating Bavaria in the last round made a good bid for the championship this season. But let's not forget that the team scored the lion's share of points at home. Away, this figure is lower. I wanted to take 1X but decided to take a chance on a draw.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has urged his side to get "the job done" against Shakhtar Donetsk to secure qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League. City are top of Group C and will qualify with a game to spare if they draw at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. The position we have is good. We have 10 points but we are not qualified," said Guardiola. I know Shakhtar and Dinamo Zagreb can win both games and we will be out.
I watched Chelsea play at home against Brighton earlier this season and they totally dominated the game against a very defensive minded Brighton side who managed to keep on a 0-0 draw till the end of the first half but in the second half they were broken early on and also conceded a 2nd goal as they lost the game with 2-0 in the end.
BRUSSELS, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Belgium will play four friendly matches to prepare for this year's European Championship, with two in March and two on the eve of the tournament, coach Roberto Martinez said on Sunday.

Belgium, who finished third at the last World Cup in Russia and top the FIFA rankings, are one of the tournament favourites.
The Whites have, however, seen a bit of a dip in form over the festive period. They have only won one of their last five competitive games and haven’t kept a clean sheet since the 10th December. Away from home they have won four, drawn three and lost three of their last 10 games, conceding 12 times in the process.
The last game (a 2-1 loss in December) we could not control when we lost the ball and tonight we did it better. We lost the ball in a position which is so dangerous (for the United goal). We cannot forget which team we play. Tonight we can be more than satisfied to come here to Old Trafford and win. It is not over.
We won more or less all statistics but the one that matters is goals. I can't accuse the players too much. If you always feel unlucky it's not luck, it's a bit of quality missing. We're the underdog each game, even before the season started we were favourites for position 20. We have seven academy products, we're the only self-funding club in this division so we can't spend money.
On Monday, England men's manager Gareth Southgate and women's boss Phil Neville said they would take a 30% pay cut. FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said the financial impact of postponements, including England fixtures, FA Cup matches and Wembley events could be as high as £150m. Clarke said: "We are committed to finishing the professional football season as this resolves the issues of promotion and relegation together with title winners on merit.
