Even when he wasn’t at his best his sheer presence was enough to create space for others around him. Plus don’t forget that Reece James, Fikyao Tomori, Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham are all playing their first seasons in top-flight football, not to mention Callum Hudson-Odoi had barely a handful of top-flight games under his belt before this year.
Atalanta, who have scored 19 goals more than any other side in Italy's top flight this season, twice appeared on course to move up to second in the table with a 10th straight win. Alejandro Gomez's clever turn and pass released Zapata to open the scoring - with the Colombia forward fending off Matthijs de Ligt and then sliding his shot past Juve goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. Marten de Roon's handball presented Ronaldo with his first goal of the evening from the penalty spot but Malinovskiy's low drive saw Gian Piero Gasperini's side regain the initiative.

I think it's an amazing thing to play [for Dortmund] in front of 80,000 people. It doesn't matter where you play, this feeling is incredible. You're the fastest player in Bundesliga history. I'm very happy to have made history in the Bundesliga. It's amazing - but I need to work more to be faster. I think Alphonso Davies at Bayern Munich has achieved the same speed as me; I think it's 36. From left: Borussia Dortmund's young talent including Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland and Achraf HakimiWhat's it like playing with Jadon Sancho?It's amazing! I think it is the best feeling when I play with him because he can understand what we do together.
It has not exactly been the dream start for the MK Dons as they have struggled in League One and now face an uphill battle if they are to maintain their spot in England’s third tier. The hosts come into this match having failed to win in their last 12 league matches and given that they have also failed to score in half of their home matches, it is not as if their fans have too much to cheer about at the moment.
With the teams' inability to attain shutouts well established, we think the both teams to score market holds excellent value for Wednesday's replay, while our correct score prediction settles on a 1-1 draw.
Game over? Nobody told Roy Keane. His header gave United hope, and, even after a booking for a hack on Zinedine Zidane ruled him out of any potential final, the Irishman drove on. Dwight Yorke headed United level on the night - ahead on away goals - before half-time in this classic encounter. Inzaghi had a hat-trick 'goal' correctly ruled out for offside, before Andy Cole tapped in confirmation. Man Utd 3-3 Bayer Leverkusen (2002)Star players: Van Nistelrooy, Giggs, Veron, Keane, Ballack, Lucio, Berbatov, Neuville, Basturk Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen had never met in the Champions League before the 2002 semi-finalThe thankfully short-lived era of two group stages meant that United had already played 14 games in the Champions League before coming up against Bayer Leverkusen in 2002.

Without a win in 7 league matches, Stevenage are in big trouble and relegation looks certain unless things improve significantly. Also having taken just 7 points on the road from 12 outings, confidence cannot be high in visiting ranks prior to making the trip and the side's prospects do not look the best ahead of kick off.
There have also been matches behind closed doors in the Champions League and Europa League. But the system has been rejected in Italy, Europe's worst-affected country. Having initially approved Serie A matches with empty stadiums a week ago, the government back-tracked on Monday and banned matches until April 3 as the coronavirus continued to spread and an unprecedented nationwide lockdown was imposed.
You just have to look at what he achieved as a player with Leeds United and England and as a manager with Ireland to realise that his legendary tag is fully deserved. He was such a huge character and such a great man. When he walked into a room, you waited to see what he was about to say. There was always a nugget in there when he spoke and always something worth listening to, no matter what the subject.
I've been learning from them and they've been learning from me already. I think this time is one of the best teams in England and hopefully we can be one of the best teams in Europe going forward. Chelsea manager Hayes said that she 'could not ask any more' of Kerr on her Blues debut. I'm happy for her," she said.

Not only have Celtic been the only team to touch a domestic trophy in Scotland for the last three seasons, but they've also got an excellent recent record against their bitter rivals in cup competitions, winning each of their last three cup matches against Rangers. Interestingly, Rangers haven't beaten Celtic (in 90 minutes) in a cup game since the 2010/11 season.
Hello everyone tipsters from this great game. We waiting for this moment a long time and now is time for big football. For today we have two games and my choice is from this game between Dortmund and PSG. Everyone think PSG are more than Borussia but I think the home team is very nice last few game and Holland is a perfect player. For me there will be a big game with more than two goals but I think this two teams will play very well and my mind is about a draw between them. For me this game will finish 2:2.

I am not going to do it. I don't see any sense. Roberto MorenoGetty Images 19:00: Jose Mourinho has given his first interview since being appointed as Tottenham manager. What can I promise? Passion - for my job but also passion for my club. It's a privilege when a manager goes to a club and feels that happiness in relation to the squad that he's going to have.
Contador is auctioning off his bike used in the 2011 Giro d'Italia and Tour de France, while Rafael Nadal is donating his shirt which he wore when he won the 2019 French Open.

West Brom ended a poor run with a win at Sheffield Wednesday. That will give them plenty of confidence, especially scoring three goals. They have a good, if not brilliant home record and will fancy their chances of three more points this weekend. Hull City also had an important win in midweek but it was at home against struggling Middlesbrough. They had been in appalling form with no league win since New Year's Day. Their away form is poor, so go for West Brom to get the points here.
Their last silverware was the 2008 League Cup. MR CHELSEA Known to Spurs supporters as "Mr Chelsea", the Portuguese was asked how he could win over the club's followers after a mixed reception to his appointment, especially after the much- loved Pochettino had been unceremoniously shown the door. They have to see me as Mr Inter (Milan), Mr Real Madrid, Mr Porto; they have to see me as 'Mr Club'.
Just one point is the difference between both teams in the table. Dinamo Brest catches a win by 3-1 in the last match they played, but they have only been able to win at home one match of four in this season. Dinamo Minsk is a good and offensive team, what will be critical in this match. Dinamo Minsk have won two of their last three matches, showing an improving trend, and they have lost just two of last ten matches against Dinamo Brest. Summarizing, Dinamo Brest is worse than past season and Dinamo Brest is getting better, this could put the balance on Minsk side.

But with the title gone, it’s the Champions League that will save this season. And that’s going to involve negotiating two-legged ties against teams a lot better than United. Welcome to Manchester, Bruno Fernandes As if winning away at City (yes, yes, losing overall) wasn’t enough for Manchester United’s febrile fanbase, the club also announced a new signing.
Sad that we're the host team and this is how we're being treated. I cannot imagine how other countries must feel," defender Hali Long posted on Facebook. Their Vietnamese rivals complained that their meals were too small and that their hotel had told them to get written authorisation from organisers if they wanted bigger portions.
Many clubs are of the opinion there are more important things to worry about. So what are the unresolved problems facing Scottish football? BBC Scotland takes a look. When will the Premiership be called?Soon, is the short answer. The SPFL held a meeting with Premiership clubs on Friday having committed to consulting them before making the decision to end the league prematurely. The letter of comfort from Uefa, which assures the governing bodies that Scotland meets the criteria to end the season early without forfeiting European places, has arrived and a decision must be submitted to European football's governing body by 25 May.
Belshina will host Dinamo Brest in the Vysshaya Liga Round 7. Belshina lifted the Pershaya Liga trophy last year and promoted to Vysshaya Liga this year but it looks tough after three years absence in Top Division. They are currently Winless and sitting bottom of the table. They just scored five goals this season and four of the six matches had less than 2.5 Goals. On the other hand, Dinamo Brest coming from 2-4 defeat to Shakhtyor Soligorsk and 0-2 home defeat to Shakhtyor Soligorsk before cup fixture. Also Brest Failed to score in last two games.

Schubert made good saves from Goretzka and Lewandowski but could do nothing in the 45th minute when Goretzka headed the ball into the path of Mueller to add the second. It quickly got worse for the Royal Blues. Five minutes into the second half, Goretzka's header hit a defender, rebounded straight back and he reacted brilliantly to hook the ball in on the volley.
They defended when they had to and, when you do that and show moments of quality, you can get a result against anybody. The squad, on paper, has the potential to be the best squad I've had and now they're starting to show a good run of form. Two defeats in 13 epitomises what they've done. I'm really pleased with them.
From there, I went on to playing football in the parks, and just getting stuck in during games with boys. I remember one day in Regent's Park a guy walked up to me and said 'I'm a scout for Queen's Park Rangers, I've just watched you play football and I think you'd be really good - come down to a training session and see how you get on'. I was like 'wow' so suddenly I found myself in a training session for QPR girls' under-15s, or whatever, and then I was in the team, so it was training Wednesday and then game Sunday.
That's lost time in my opinion. We want England to be in the best position to go into the European Championship in 2022 and win it on home soil. It is a great opportunity for a new manager to come in and build. But if you go back to the initial interview process with Neville, we have the same problems now. It's the same names in the hat - Chelsea boss Emma Hayes and former Manchester City manager Nick Cushing - they were in the running before but they stepped out of the process for reasons which haven't been discussed.

There is a major problem still facing us. The aim is to make sure all the clubs survive and and we will be working 24 hours a day to make sure they do. We can't give guarantees. Who knows whether we have seen the end of this crisis or whether there is going to be a second spike. But our aim, our avowed aim, and we will be giving it our very best shot, is to make sure the EFL comes through this stronger than we are at the moment.
The hosts have netted in their last five at Son Moix so we can see them getting on the scoresheet here against a Sevilla side who have conceded in three of their last four away, but the visitors should have enough quality to get the job done. Mallorca haven't conceded more than twice in a game at Son Moix this term, so 1-2 is our correct score prediction.
Valencia head into this weekend's game just four points behind the top four – a gap they will be confident of closing in January with a trip to Son Moix to face Mallorca coming up after the Spanish Super Cup.

Sporting exited after losing 4-1 at Istanbul Basaksehir after extra time to go down 5-4 on aggregate after Edin Visca gave the hosts a lifeline with a late goal in normal time and then netted a penalty to take them through to the last 16. Wolves took a 4-0 first-leg advantage to Espanyol and never looked in danger as Adama Traore scrambled in a close-range effort and Matt Doherty also scored as they twice cancelled out goals by Jonathan Calleri who got a hat-trick in a 3-2 home win.
Jose Mourinho says his time at Manchester United is a 'closed chapter' as he prepares to take Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford on Wednesday. Mourinho left United in December 2018 after two-and-a-half years as manager. The Portuguese was out of work until taking over at Spurs in November, winning his first three matches. This is a closed chapter for me. I left the club, I took my time to process everything that happened," Mourinho said.
Three points this weekend would see Sydney FC extend their lead at the top of the league to nine points. Their recent form has seen them win six of their last seven, their perfect record only ended by Wellington Phoenix who picked up a 2-2 draw last weekend.
Joe Lolley's early long-range strike had looked to be enough to settle the match and take the Reds up to third in the Championship and within four points of the top two. The Rams defence backed off as Lolley gained possession wide on the right and the winger made the most of the relative freedom at an eerily quiet Pride Park, striding forward and finding the far corner with a measured shot that deceived keeper Ben Hamer.
