AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has had his contract extended for a further two years until June 2022. The 54-year-old Italian took the role in October and his initial deal expired at the end of this season. But the former Lazio and Inter Milan manager has taken AC Milan to fifth in the Serie A table, on course to qualify for next season's Europa League. I am happy and proud of the trust I have received from AC Milan,” said Pioli.
Haaland is said to have a release clause which could see him move for roughly £20 million in January. Paper Round's view: Manchester United desperately need to sign a new striker and for just £20 million, Haaland would be a steal. The Norway international has proved himself in the Champions League and is scoring goals for fun this season.

Ruz: As a Spurs fan, I have to say Lo Celso should be sent off. That's a simply awful 'challenge' and how VAR doesn't see that as serious foul play is beyond me. Rob: Expecting the usual criticism of VAR over the red card. VAR did its job; it captured an incident you could easily miss in real time. The problem is incompetence; there is an official at the other end somehow deciding that it's not a red card.
Champion Tatung is not performing well in the season. They have lost to the main rival Taipower in the first round at home, and also had another draw against Futuro in Taichung. They are now even behind Fu Jen in the league table, and their second position in under the threat. Fu Jen University is maintaining their games without many goals scored, and they often manage to make victory with clean sheet.
Huijnen says that the transfer is dominating the news cycle in the Netherlands but he is not convinced whether or not the move will happen. I’m not sure how likely the Van de Beek move would be. Donny van de Beek of Ajax during the Dutch Eredivisie match between Ajax v ADO Den Haag at the Johan Cruijff Arena on December 22, 2019 in Amsterdam NetherlandsGetty Images “Ajax is still very ambitious and don’t have to do it for the money (De Ligt, De Jong, CL final got them enough for a while).
Diarangen have just one point from their last two games but both were on the road. Back on home soil they are far better with five successive clean sheets. They host Ferretti, who are only a place below them in the table but six points behind. They have lost their last two away league games and a third looks likely here. The tip is for a home victory.
Bayern said in a statement on their website that the Poland international had fractured his tibia near his left knee joint during the 3-0 win at Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday. The 31-year-old, who scored at Stamford Bridge, was examined by Bayern's chief medical officer on Wednesday. After 10 days of immobilisation in a cast, he will start rehab.
He has definitely taken a more pragmatic approach since taking over as manager, taking a little bit of the risk out of it while still playing some really good stuff and their campaign has been just about perfect up until now. The team's experienced enough - they've had Champions League the last couple of seasons and the Europa League - so they know what it takes at this level of football to get results.
Problem solved. Alexander-Arnold is the finest right-back in the country, to a degree that isn’t even funny. Indeed, it’s probably only the fact that he’s so disgustingly, appallingly young that stops everybody acknowledging him as the best in the world. Much of this brilliance is because he spends a lot of time attacking: he’s one of the most creative players in the league, second only to Kevin Du Bruyne when it comes to assists, and he hits long passes and crosses with a purity to make most midfielders weep.
To grow alongside women's football and to see where it is now, I'd have never dreamt it when I was 11 or 12 years old, when I first got into playing in girls' teams. As a girl I think I've been told it's not normal; it's not a girly thing to be competitive and strong. It's something I've fought against my whole life. I've just realised now in my late 20s that being a competitive, strong little girl was the best thing that could have happened to me.
Wilder believes West Ham will be a "different proposition" to the team that drew 1-1 with the Blades in October when Manuel Pellegrini was in charge at the London Stadium. There's a different manager, a different message going into the players," Wilder added. Looking at the manager's CV and what he's done, David Moyes is a hugely-respected figure in the game.
I think it is time for HSV to get their first win in this restart, they played draw twice and then in crucial game lost from Stuttgart on the road 3-2 despite they lead 0-2 on half so now they should be very motivated to get 3 points and opponent could not be better for something like that,when is second worst team in the league and they are coming to this game after two defeats, but both that defeats were with 1-0 and I think this time they will lost with at least two goal difference if not more than that like 3-0 or maybe 4-0!
An extra-time double from Marcos Llorente stunned holders Liverpool and earned Atletico Madrid a 3-2 win at Anfield to seal a 4-2 aggregate success and secure a spot in the Champions League last eight. See alsoLiverpool v Atletico Madrid - LIVE Champions League updates Having initially struggled to break down the typically resolute Atletico, last season’s semi-final hero Georginio Wijnaldum arrived right on cue to head Liverpool into the lead a minute before the interval and restore parity in the tie.
Rudi Garcia's men have avoided defeat in each of their last three, two of which they've won. In the league, they recently hammered Toulouse at this venue, before following up with a draw against Reims at Stade Auguste-Delaune, which is a tough place to go. Last time out, Lyon warmed up nicely for this fixture by slotting no less than seven times against lower-level opposition in France's other domestic competition, the Coupe de France.
But the spectre is there. As executives talk about the season finishing "if at all possible", the implication it won't be possible is left hanging. At least one club official who, a fortnight ago, was insisting the campaign would be concluded, is now admitting it might not be. The working groups trying to find a resolution on behalf of Europe's governing body Uefa, the European Clubs' Association and the European Leagues have heard the chatter too.
The Europa League campaign has been superb for the Spanish side but their domestic form has been awful, with the club currently sitting bottom of La Liga with just nine points, two less than they’ve amassed in Europe this year.
Wolfsburg are unbeaten in their last three away league games. Wolfsburg haven't lost any of their last six league fixtures. Augsburg have lost their last three league games, conceding seve goals in the process. These two clubs return to action and have different reasons to make a good start. Augsburg are 14th in the table, hoping to avoid relegation, while seventh placed Wolfsburg are hopeful of European qualification.
