It seemed appropriate to tell him that, just as I had said before, I would step aside if he decided to return. He said that seemed perfect but he told me that he no longer wanted me. I was in a state of shock. I let the staff know and I wondered what I had done wrong. Spain finished top of their qualifying group after winning eight out of 10 games and scoring 31 goals. They will be a top seed for Euro 2020 when the draw is made in Bucharest on Saturday.
It is not just two squads, there is a lot more involved and it puts more people at risk. A return to action on 8 June would require full training to begin by 18 May and some clubs - Arsenal, Brighton and West Ham - have opened their training grounds to players for individual work. I understand the public is desperate to get football back," added Murray. But it is us that are going to be going out there and competing against other teams.
He also reminded them that Bayern’s gameplan would be to score early and shut the game down. The warning was delivered with feeling because United had made a habit of handicapping themselves during their European run. They conceded the opening goal after 11 minutes away to Bayern, after six minutes at Juventus in the semi-final, and after 49 seconds against Barcelona in the group stages.
Victoriano is making their positive run with the recent two games in the league, and they are now in the mid of the table currently. Team will host one of the bottom placed rival in the competition, and should not have issue to make advantage here, in front of the crowd.
Ultimately, this looks set to be a very tight and competitive game. Boca are undoubtedly the stronger of the two on paper but Central are proving very hard to beat this season and the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito is not an easy place to visit.
Liverpool lost in the Premier League for the first time this season on Saturday, but will they survive their trip to Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup?The Reds' tie at Chelsea (Tuesday, 19:45 GMT) is one of two fifth-round ties you can watch live on BBC television this week, along with Sheffield Wednesday versus Manchester City (Wednesday, 19:45). In addition West Brom v Newcastle and Spurs v Norwich will be streamed live on the iPlayer, and the BBC Sport website and app.
Nice may have been a force to reckon with last season but it has been a different story this time round as they currently sit in 13th. They have just the one win in their last eight games but slightly turned a corner in their two games before the break with a win over Reims (2-0) and a draw against Bordeaux (1-1). These opponents have been in fine form this season so these results need to be respected, however Nice generally haven't been able to replicate those types of performance away from home and that could damage them here.
Nonetheless, this was still a new nadir for Arsenal under Emery who will come under even more pressure after this. TALKING POINT - Was this breaking point for Unai Emery at Arsenal? Emery needed a big performance from his team to dispel the criticism Arsenal’s recent poor form has generated. Instead, he got a performance that epitomised everything that is wrong with his team.
LASK have so much on the line in this game that we think they should just about have enough to find a slender win over their Norwegian opposition. A 1-0 win for LASK looks like it could be a good value find at 7/1 and we've predicted this result as we can't see Rosenborg troubling the LASK defence in what should be a fairly slow paced encounter.
Only Aston Villa (0) have kept fewer clean sheets away from home than Chelsea (1) in this season's Premier League. This is Chelsea's outright lowest number of shutouts away from home in a single season in the competition. Liverpool have remained unbeaten at Anfield in three consecutive league seasons for the first time in the club's history. This was the first Premier League game at Anfield to see as many as eight goals scored since Liverpool's 4-4 draw with Arsenal in April 2009.
Manchester City, who are in three competitions and one of four teams with a league game still outstanding from an earlier game week, could face at least 13 league and cup games in 49 days, with the yet to be provisionally scheduled Champions League matches to be played either during or after this period. Five substitutes approved for rest of 2019-20 seasonBanging 'em inFinally, the race for the Premier League's golden boot will resume, with Jamie Vardy leading the way.
Paper Round’s view: Barely a week (day?) goes by without Koulibaly’s name featuring in gossip columns across Europe. He’s now in his sixth season at Napoli without being snapped up by a larger European club. A long time. Are Napoli pricing suitors out? Or do these persistent rumours have little substance? A combination of the two, you would think.
Newcastle United have been accused of a "dereliction of duty" towards their supporters after not communicating season ticket plans. The Newcastle United Supporters' Trust (NUST) sent a letter last week asking for confirmation of refunds, with games set to be played behind closed doors. It also wants season ticket payments for the 2020-21 season to be paused. Most top-flight clubs have said they will refund or credit season ticket holders for behind-closed-doors games.
For that, the Northern Irishman should take a bow. Steven Gerrard, meanwhile, faces the stiffest test of his managerial career in trying to stop Rangers making the same mistakes. With the league title seemingly slipping out of reach, the second-leg against Braga and Saturday's Scottish Cup tie away to Hearts take on huge significance in their season.
Watford have four points from their last two league games. Southampton have only earned one point from six home league matches this season.

Zverev has won the ATP Tour finals and in total has won three ATP Masters 1000 titles but just never plays his best in Grand Slams.
Last season, Everton were underdogs for both games but were one of the few sides who managed to match Liverpool and were unfortunate not to pick up more than a point.

These teams drew 1-1 when they met on the first day of the season and while a lot has happened since then, we're edging this match in favour of the hosts. Before Kombouaré's torrential reign at the club, Toulouse's home form was actually pretty solid with just four defeats in the previous fifteen matches at the Stadium Municipal so this could be a pivotal factor for Zanko. Brest enter this game on an awful losing streak, especially away from home, and with Toulouse under a new manager, their players should have zip about them.
St Mirren had ended a run of eight league losses away from home with a win and draw without conceding a goal, but they now had to think about finding an equaliser. Their moment almost came with 15 minutes remaining when Cameron MacPherson's looping free-kick found Conor McCarthy drifting away from his marker at the back post, but the defender headed wastefully wide from 12 yards. As the game opened up, Katic fired just wide and Defoe powered a drive over on the break, but the English veteran's first-half strike was enough to secure the three points.
FIFA will try to ensure, where possible, an overall level of co-ordination and will also bear in mind the need to protect the regularity, integrity and proper functioning of competitions, so that the sporting results of any competition are not unfairly disrupted," it said.

Shakhtar Donetsk currently sit second in the group and know that they need to keep picking up results if they want to qualify for the knockout stages with Dinamo Zagreb also having five points, only kept in third due to the three goals Shakhtar scored in their last game. Getting a result from the Premier League champions is no easy task however and Shakhtar will need to be on the top of their game to challenge City.
They then reached a low point with a home defeat against Fiorentina which Gattuso described as embarrassing. The 42-year-old, renowned as being one of the most fiercely competitive players of his generation, is not one to give up easily, however, and took them away to a training camp so they could discuss things "face to face".
Wigan have lost their last three games, heading into this one with four defeats in five. They have fallen towards the bottom three with that terrible run, but they’re already at the very bottom in terms of away results. No side has fewer points on the road than Wigan, with the visitors still winless away this term. They’ve lost seven of nine trips overall, suffering four defeats in their previous five trips. Wigan have one win from their last 30 away Championship games, so a Millwall win seems like value to us.

We are here to win games," said Courtois in his teammate's defence. What has happened, has happened. He [Bale] gives everything in training and matches to help us win.

Celtic stretched their winning run to nine games as Kristoffer Ajer's late goal earned a Scottish Premiership victory against a battling Aberdeen. Neil Lennnon's men moved 13 points clear in first after a seventh league win in a row before Rangers beat Livingston to reduce the deficit to 10. But the champions were largely subdued for much of the 90 minutes. Ash Taylor cancelled out Celtic's Callum McGregor's opener, before Ajer settled it late on.

Bordeaux kept up their good form on Saturday as they lengthened their unbeaten streak to five games with a 1-1 draw against a very good Reims side. Ex-Sunderland man Josh Maja got the opening goal and Bordeaux had numerous chances to kill the game off but didn’t, allowing Boulaye Dia to strike home an equaliser in the last minute. Despite this, it has been encouraging signs for Paolo Sousa’s men recently with confident wins over Monaco (2-1) and Nantes (2-0) bolstering their confidence.

SPAL will host Genoa for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this season. Both teams have a poor results in the last matches.

True, they have a poor results on the road. So, I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
It was without doubt a renewed Everton performance last weekend, but you can’t ignore the situation they find themselves in. They sit 14th in the Premier League table and are just two points clear of the relegation zone, and away from home they have lost six of their last seven league matches.

Man City win third Carabao Cup in a row Third straight EFL Cup win shows incredible consistency - Guardiola It would have been easy for his eyes to light up and take the chance himself when he received Rodri's pass at the far post. Not a bit of it - he saw Aguero in a more advantageous place and cut the ball back for the master marksman to complete the formalities. Foden was a thorn to Aston Villa left-back Matt Targett all day, coming close to scoring and even showing the audacity and confidence for a bit of ball juggling as he advanced down the right flank in the second half.
The Hornets’ problems this season have been wide ranging, but it looks like it’s third time lucky for them with Nigel Pearson. He is their third manager already this season, and in their four games since he took charge they have taken five points – 38% of their total points this term.
I've seen all the greats from the 1990s onwards many times, but he was the first player I would stop everything to watch. He had a balletic grace that belied his size, and did things on the ball that you only otherwise saw on games consoles. The documentary film "Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait" is well worth watching if you can find it. It should be in the Arts section rather than Sport. Most unusual thing I've seen liveWhen Darren Bent's shot went in off a beach ball for the only goal of Sunderland's 1-0 win over Liverpool in 2009, I must confess to not having had much of a clue what had happened at first.
