When AC Milan defeated Benfica to win the European Cup once again in 1990, nobody could have anticipated that it would be 27 years before another club retained the trophy. It’s a game changing situation that could hit clubs like Newcastle United hardest. They have been looking towards players like Lingard and Alli as potential targets - as well as the likes of James Tarkowski at Burnley, whose contract is winding down. The Swede urged his players to be prepared for the hosts to maybe come out and play with a lot of aggression and intensity in the beginning. Can we make it a great one in the final? When you play in derbies it is about winning them, we have managed to do it back-to-back at home and now at Hampden. The 32-year-old had the captain's armband taken off him by manager Arteta on December 14 for a breach of the club's disciplinary rules. Their Liverpool star has since shown something different, with top-class displays in 3-1 victories over Equatorial Guinea and Burkina Faso in the knockout rounds. So the drama was left until the closing stages. Man of the match - Brennan JohnsonComing from Nottingham, I know what this means to the fans. James was named in Gareth Southgate's 23-man squad for October's World Cup qualifiers despite limping off against Manchester City last weekend and missing the midweek trip to Juventus. Defender Nathaniel Atkinson was instrumental in Melbourne City's first A-League championship success It is a bit of a coup to get him, said Hearts manager Robbie Neilson.

All of those seven fixtures have come against teams not in the top nine of the Premier League table. He was a great lad. You couldn't not like him because of his attitude. He just played dumb, but he wasn't dumb. He got away with murder if he was out on a Thursday night or Friday night when he shouldn't have been. Kevin just wanted him to play his normal game. He was brilliant at running at players, his touch, close control and technique. The difference [with Cresswell] was the point of contact. Man Utd 0-2 Man City Did Ronaldo get lucky?INCIDENT: Cristiano Ronaldo lunges into Kevin De Bruyne on the touchline during the Manchester derby. Ben Mee could be in contention after his bout of coronavirus but Dale Stephens is still some way from being match ready, despite being back in training. I have no concern or business in my head right now to think about what is going to happen in this club next season. City have often played without a recognised striker this season following the exit of club-record goalscorer Sergio Aguero at the end of the 2020/21 campaign. Were Traore to move to Spurs, he would undoubtedly upgrade the entertainment factor at the club. But reservations arise over Traore's suitability in perhaps the most-crucial area - end product. After the incident at the Camp Nou during the Alaves encounter, Aguero was put on a three-month period of sick leave as he underwent a series of tests to determine the cause of the problem. The Bees certainly deserve credit for limiting a previously rampant City to just the solitary goal and despite the defeat it was a battling performance that suggests they have a good chance of preserving their Premier League status for another season. We were not on our highest level and you cannot expect a result. Chelsea had established themselves as a team among the favourites for the Premier League title with their start to the season and had the opportunity on Saturday to open up a six-point gap on the defending champions. The penalty award sparked wild celebrations but Jurgen Klopp did not join in. I hate that people start celebrating that moment, he said. West Ham, who were without controversial defender Kurt Zouma after he felt unwell in the warm-up, had lost their way, but rescued the draw that keeps them a point ahead of Manchester United in fourth. Dawson rose highest to meet a Bowen corner and score with a looping header. So I personally wish him all the best. Boyd: Van Bronckhorst must win the title Former Rangers striker and Sky Sports pundit Kris Boyd has been discussing van Bronckhorst's appointment and the squad he has inherited at Ibrox. The way we conceded the goal and losing this match is not something good. It could have been very different but we haven't managed to do it. “All players in this league should feel safe and go about it without fear and be able to do what they love!” Just as they did against Arsenal, they had the belief to take the game to their opponents, where possible, and were more concerned with what they could do to hurt Klopp's side than the other way around. Prutton predicts: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds) Huddersfield vs Middlesbrough, Saturday 3pmHuddersfield would have been disappointed with their inability to hold on for a point at QPR in midweek, and did at times have Lee Nicholls in goal to thank for staying in that game for so long. The 45-year-old, a three-time title-winner with Arsenal who cut his teeth as a coach in Manchester City's academy before spells in charge of New York City FC and French side Nice, has instilled optimism in the stands and brought freshness on the pitch. The individual in question has been suspended by the club indefinitely, with the matter now in the hands of the police. City will now head to Spain for Wednesday’s Champions League semi final second leg at Real Madrid. Leeds return to action at Arsenal next Sunday.
