Here are some of the key storylines to look out for on Sunday. Can Benzema carry the load for shot-shy Real?A notable aspect of Real's season has been their struggle in front of goal, which came to light once again during last weekend's shock 1-0 loss at mid-table Levante - the eighth time this season they have failed to score. During the early phases of the campaign, Karim Benzema carried the load almost single-handedly.
Sunday’s Serie A action wraps up with Champions League hopefuls Roma hosting Juventus. This is a crucial clash for both, with the hosts worried about losing ground in the top four race and Juve under pressure to keep winning. Neither side can afford to drop points in a competitive Serie A campaign, but who will slip up?
All I had apart from playing experience were certain ideas as to what a manager should do and faith in those ideas and faith in the future of the club. First trophy at United: United win the FA cup for the first time in 39 years, beating Blackpool 4-2. Busby takes charge of the Great Britain team at the Olympic games, reaching the semi-finals to be beaten by Yugoslavia. Manchester United win the first division for the first time since 1911.
It was what Saints' merited, taking the game to Spurs to set up the replay. Lo Celso making a name for himself Giovani lo Celso, right, is currently on loan at Spurs from Real BetisLo Celso's Spurs career has been something of a slow burner since he arrived on loan from Real Betis but he is winning the hearts and minds of the Spurs fans.
Above all, we're going to go through a dramatic period for French football that will be deprived of its revenue.

Gareth Bale's omission from Real Madrid's final La Liga game of the season against Leganes was a "technical decision", according to coach Zinedine Zidane. The game ended 2-2 with Leganes relegated to the second division. Bale had been an unused substitute in the previous six games, including Thursday's 2-1 win over Villarreal when Real won the Spanish league title. The Welshman made just two appearances in Madrid's final 11 matches.

But Aberdeen were level when Lewis Ferguson's cross was flicked on by Matty Kennedy into the path of Taylor, who chested the ball down before despatching it beyond the helpless Fraser Forster. Aberdeen were playing with a confidence that the home fans had rarely seen evidence of this season, and Funso Ojo and McGinn both threatened before the break. Celtic's record of not dropping points after taking the lead this season was under threat with the windy conditions proving troublesome for both sets of players, but the home side were marginally coping the better.

Bayer has the capability of not only winning away games but to score quite as many goals as possible usually stopping at 4 against modest opponents who do not dare attack anymore, they have 3 wins in a row the last one being their best game so far a 2-1 win away at Bayern Munich, also won 2-0 at Lokomotiv Moscow in the Champions League as they will continue in Spring in the Europa League, a 2-0 win at Wolfsburg as well in the league.
Bayer and Freiburg had some of the lowest results in their games between each other. In the recent years, there are not many rivals that had under 2.5 goals per clash in the competition. However, looking at the current form of both squad, and their situation in the league, this could be one duel with over two goals scored.
Reaction & as it happenedHow did the players rate?'A seismic day for Gerrard and team'The statistics coming into this were quite something. Celtic had won 15 in a row at Celtic Park in all competitions and hadn't lost to a domestic rival in their fortress since Aberdeen beat them in May 2018. Rangers, for their part, were unbeaten on the road in the league all season with eight wins and two draws. That was the backdrop along with the tumultuous League Cup final last month, a game that saw Celtic play poorly, have a man sent off, concede a penalty and finish the game with just one attempt on goal - and the trophy.
But Liverpool did just that on Thursday night, with the 2-0 win against Sheffield United marking their 37th league match without defeat. Remarkable Liverpool go a year unbeaten in Premier League Liverpool's 19th win in 20 league matches this season has left them 13 points clear at the top ahead of Leicester, with defending champions City a point further back.

Things to think about. Their positives and negatives. On the Friday we'd get to see for ourselves what they did on set plays so going out there we'd covered every base. All the excuses were taken away and it was over to us to make sure we carried out what we'd worked on.

One thing that Benfica have been absolutely sensational at is picking up points on the road. They are yet to drop a point away from home this season, and haven’t actually failed to win an away league game since the 2nd January 2019. That being said, they are facing tough opposition on Saturday.
Arsenal defeat greeted by boos as pressure builds on EmeryThe Gunners will seal qualification for the knockout stages if they avoid a heavy defeat at Standard Liege in their final group game, but Keown questioned whether Emery can still "motivate" his players. The final whistle brought boos and jeers from fans at a sparsely-populated Emirates Stadium and means Arsenal are on their longest winless run since February 1992.
Italy announced a quarantine and advised against all but non-essential travel until April 3 after its death toll from coronavirus jumped by 168 to 631 this week.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored two penalties as Juventus survived a scare to move eight points clear at the top of Serie A with a draw against Atalanta. The visitors, who controlled long periods of the game, twice went ahead in Turin, via Duvan Zapata and Ruslan Malinovskiy. However, Ronaldo took his tally to 28 goals in 28 league games with his second penalty in the 90th minute. Second-placed Lazio had earlier fallen to a shock 2-1 home defeat by Sassuolo.
In 2013, a plan emerged for Russian clubs to break away and resurrect the old Soviet competition with a multinational structure but Blatter's FIFA firmly rejected the plan. In comments which will raise eyebrows at UEFA and the Premier League, Infantino, who has already introduced a new 24-team Club World Cup to start in 2021, said FIFA had a duty to look at how less financially successful clubs and nations could compete.
Hawk-Eye unreservedly apologises to the Premier League, Sheffield United, and everyone affected by this incident. At the time the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said the video assistant referee did not intervene because of the "unique" circumstances and said it would review how a similar incident in the future can be handled.

Norwich City - 20thMiserable season for the Canaries. The fantastic win over Manchester City was the bright spot as careful financial management and injuries made relegation inevitable well before the season's end. Chose to safeguard long-term future rather than gamble with the club's finances but this was a disheartening experience. Will they now lose Todd Cantwell, Max Aarons and Ben Godfrey?Pre-season prediction: 19thWhat I said in August: "So much will depend on whether Teemu Pukki, who scored 29 goals last season, can make the transition to elite level.
RETRO CORNER It is back. The Champions League is back. Here is the theme with some nice retro images for no other reason than it is back baby.

Ahead of this, mind, there is more snooker, with the Scottish Open kicking off on Eurosport and Eurosport Player on Monday.
A team that uses a low block and defends deep to try to make games into tighter and more tactical battles would not suit Henderson. Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool win Club World Cup for first time - the best of the action But his energy and ability to do the yards and cover every aspect of midfield suit what Klopp wants perfectly. It is a great match. He fits perfectly into this Liverpool team and the way they play, and it is the same with England.
The Portuguese forward swapped the Spanish capital for Juventus in the summer of 2018 and won Serie A in his first season in Italy. However, after winning the Ballon d'Or in four of his last five years at the Santiago Bernabeu, he now feels that his transfer has harmed his individual aspirations. Luka Modric, with whom he won the Champions League at Madrid, won the award in 2018, while the prize this year was claimed by his long-time rival Lionel Messi, the star of Barcelona's La Liga triumph.
Given the indifferent form of Besiktas and the apparent good run for the visitors it’s hard to call this game it what you would think would be pretty simplistic on paper. However, I’m going to tip both teams to score here and would also recommend a side bet on over 2.5 goals.
I feel the odds are worth taking here in this encounter as the hosts have a really poor defense which already conceded 7 goals in two league games only managing a 2-2 draw at home while last round they were hammered with 5-0 on the road, and also last season in the second part when they hosted Navy they conceded 4 goals and ended up getting trashed with 4-1 in the end, so good reasons to believe in the away win in this one.
The 29-year-old added: "This is a mistake from my family and I take full responsibility. Protests have been held around the world after unarmed black man George Floyd died while being restrained by a white Minneapolis police officer on 25 May. Athletes from a number of sports have spoken out about racial discrimination and police brutality following Floyd's death. In an earlier statement, LA Galaxy said: "LA Galaxy were made aware of a series of racist and violent social media posts by Tea Katai, the wife of LA Galaxy midfielder Aleksandar Katai.
They are in a good position to reach the play-off final after drawing 0-0 at Walter Ferretti in the first leg. That draw took their unbeaten run to 14 games but ended a four-game winning streak. Their opponents had been scoring goals left, right and centre before the weekend's first leg. Going there and coming away with a goalless draw was a great result for Managua FC and they will be confident of finishing off the job in this second leg.

ROMA FANS STILL ANGRY WITH KOLAROV Aleksandar Kolarov's goal in AS Roma's 4-0 win over Lecce failed to placate fans at the Stadio Olimpico who greeted it with whistles and insults. The Serbian's testy relationship with the supporters goes back to comments in November 2018 when he said that they "don't know anything about football".
With Albion struggling to turn performances into points, and Villa spurred on by their excellent record against the Seagulls this term, we think the Aston Villa double chance market is priced generously for Saturday's contest, while our correct score prediction settles on a 1-1 draw.
Giroud's first Premier League goal since April arrived in the 16th minute when he drove his half-volley into the bottom corner after Ross Barkley's shot ricocheted off the post. Tottenham were disappointing in the first half and their best chance arrived in the 34th minute, but Lucas Moura's near-post shot was crucially blocked by Cesar Azpilicueta before, from the resultant corner, Willy Caballero tipped Davinson Sanchez's looping header over the bar.
The last time these two faced off, PSG claimed a 4-2 win and since then, Lyon have gone on a five-match unbeaten run, winning four and keeping four clean sheets. Among the teams they have beaten include Olympique Marseille in the French Cup and Juventus in the Champions League. While they have not been free-scoring in these five matches, they have done superbly well in defence and they will want to test this against the best team in France at the moment.
Forest Green is in 5th place with 40 points Exeter is in 2nd place with 44 points. I expect a strong match here. Both teams will look for a win here but I predict in this match a draw. Forest Green is a good team especially in home matches and they are a strong opponent for any team. Exeter is making a great season until now and they are between candidates for the promotion and I see them fighting for a win here but also both teams don't want to lose this match. Both teams have qualities and will be a hard match for Exeter but however I predict a draw here.
The Partenopei have won twice in their last 14 games across all competitions. They are coming into this match with only two clean sheets across their last 15 matches in all competitions, despite improving their defence in the summer. With Gattuso expected to ring the changes before a weekend meeting with Fiorentina, Napoli’s backline could be exposed once again here.

Crystal Palace, in 14th, are only two points behind. The margin for error will be small over the last few rounds of the season. Everton have a mixed record against Wolves since their promotion to the top flight last season, winning, drawing and losing in that three-game history. Everton claimed victory in the reverse fixture back in September when Richarlison was in hot form.
