Ronaldo followed up his moment of triumph in Milan, when he scored the winning penalty in the shootout against Atleti, by also winning the European Championship, urging Portugal on from the sidelines after being withdrawn in the first half against France due to injury. With Messi losing in a second consecutive Copa America final with Argentina, his league and cup double was also overshadowed by a difficult summer in which he was found guilty of tax fraud and given a suspended jail sentence.
Marc Roca gave Espanyol a first half lead, glancing home a header from a David Lopez free kick delivery. It was reflective of the match as a whole at that point, with Barcelona struggling to get going over the opening 45 minutes. The introduction of Arturo Vidal at half time changed the game, though, as Luis Suarez squeezed home a finish at the near post after good work by Jordi Alba down the left before the Chilean powered a header past Diego Lopez following a sensational cross by Suarez.
That was against the run of play! 67’ MESSI. That would have been a classic of the genre from Messi! Alba played the ball back to the Argentine and he attempted to chip a finish over Robles, but it drifts just wide of the far post! 72’ GOAL! Real Betis 2-3 Barcelona: Barcelona have turned this game on its head! What a header that was from Lenglet! The French defender got on the end of a freekick delivery into the box and loops a header over Robles who slipped as he attempted to make the save! 77’ SENT OFF! Fekir has been shown a second yellow card! Real Betis will finish this match with 10 men! The home team players are now surrounding the referee as they believe that was harsh! Fekir was shown a first yellow card for a foul on Lenglet and then a second for arguing! 79’ SENT OFF! Real drama at the Benito Villamarin as Lenglet is shown a second yellow card for a foul on Joaquin! Now Barcelona are down to 10 men and this match might not be over after all!

The main thing I like about Dyche is that he is never too up and too down," Kightly told Talksport. If you lose a game 3-0 on a Saturday, he is not going mental and having you in on a Sunday, and running you. At the same time, if you win 3-0 and play really well, he is not saying that you're brilliant and we've made it.

And The Telegraph reports that players are confused by the Spaniard's selections, tactics and instructions, and that there is a growing sentiment inside the squad that Emery should be sacked to get Arsenal back on track.
I can firmly say no and you can replay that again in 10 years," Lampard said. It wouldn't happen, but I think things are different. Jose Mourinho has worked at a lot of football clubs and we have to respect his right to work. On the other hand I was here for 13 years as a player, have an absolutely deep feeling for the club, and I obviously went to Man City for a year at the end of my career but Chelsea is certainly something very close to my heart and hence why I'm so proud to manage this club and hence why unfortunately I wouldn't manage Tottenham.

The Clarets have not got much depth to their squad right now, for various reasons, and I think West Ham will move a little closer to safety with a win here. I always thought the Hammers' players were too good to be where they are in the table. It looks like they have managed to find the right formula at the right time. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Joel's prediction: 2-2 Brighton v Liverpool (20:15 BST)Liverpool were short of their best against Aston Villa on Sunday - I know Reds boss Jurgen Klopp made changes, but their passing wasn't great.

This is one more match from reserve league in Belorussia and one more match where I will just try with goals, what is pretty ok and real for me.

I saw us go to Manchester City and trade with them like a big team who was in and around that level, then at West Ham we were not. Today we recovered. That shows me where we are to have a real potential to getting where we want to be, but also aware of the little tough bumps in the road.

The very fact that you are in professional sport, you need to be very resilient. You need to be able to bounce back because you'll get more setbacks than you will good times, and I would like to think that's how my members are. So it remains in process and we shall just have to wait and see, and look at it on a day by day basis and see if it's achievable. But if we don't try, then it's never going to be achievable.
Everything points to a win for the Kansas City Chiefs. They are in form, winning games by good margins, more rested and won't worry too much about the cold weather. The Texans did well to get back into a winning position against Buffalo last week, but if they start like that again this weekend, there is unlikely to be a comeback. Go for the Chiefs to win on a - 6.5 point spread.

Third-placed Leicester have managed only three wins in nine league games since Vardy's last goal, which came in a 3-1 defeat at champions Manchester City on Dec.

There’s certainly a gulf in terms of resources between these two sides, but there’s more of an even feeling to their showdown on Sunday night. That’s bound to be a worry for the visitors, who continue to have problems this season.
So once we got the first goal then I was looking at everyone's face, the same facial expression as 2015, be calm collected. I could probably recite every play to you, I've watched it so many times - but the memory is my team-mates' faces. Career breakthrough moment?"Right after the Olympics, like through the 2017 season, being benched was a hard time for me to figure out where I was in my career. Having the opportunity to be put in the midfield was new at that level and also at a time when I needed a new challenge and a shift in mindset.
A 19th-minute own goal from Pearce, who fell over his own feet as he tried to clear Marc Albrighton's low cross, gave the Foxes a lead they never looked like losing. Barnes nearly made it 2-0 a few minutes later only to be denied by an excellent save from visiting goalkeeper Marshall. But a quick counter-attack just before the break, which ended with Barnes' shot clipping Dunkley and looping over Marshall, saw Leicester double their advantage and move them into the fourth round for the sixth time in nine seasons.

Smolevichy and Vitebsk have scored and conceded exactly the same number of goals (respectively 1 and 2), so this could be a quite tight game, however Vitebsk has at least been able to win once, while Smolevichy has collected just 1 point in the first 2 games of this League. Smolevichy comes from the lower League and still needs a lot of experience to be competitive here: they have beaten Vitebsk in a friendly game played at the end of January, but they had lost the previous official game by 4-0, so Vitebsk should have the chance to win in this away match in my opinion.
Well the odd here is just too good to be misses IMO and this is a very good value no doubt. This is a duel between two of the possibly best teams at this league and for sure two teams that are going to fight for promotion until the same and.BOTH teams are so far at very good shape with slightly advantage to the hosts but Vaprus showed that they cannot be underestimated this year. Both teams are similar in quality and don't have much experienced players but they do have some very good and young talented individuals who can make a difference at matches like this.
