Although AC Milan and Roma both issued statements disavowing "what appears to be an anti-racism campaign", some Twitter users agreed that the story would have never blown up had it not been for the sudden interest taken by international media.
Liverpool, who lead the league on 79 points, were playing in the day's late match at Watford.

January. A time for immediate reinforcements, but also a time to put deals in place for the summer. The nature of the Scottish game, with its short-term deals and regular recasting of squads, means plenty of familiar faces are out of contract this summer and can open talks with prospective new clubs now. But are there any you would like to see at your team? BBC Scotland has put together this starting XI of soon-to-be free agents.
The Cas verdict added: "In addition, the violations of other RSTP (Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players) rules were found to be less serious than those attributed to Chelsea by Fifa.

Fifteen more points will wrap-up the trophy and the only question is when, not if, Liverpool will be crowned as English champions for the first time in 30 years. It's so insane I don't understand it," Klopp said. I'm not smart enough, it's difficult. Never had that before and I've no clue how it happened really.
It was a strangely listless performance from Maurizio Sarri's side and though still heavy favourites to go through, they will feel the pressure in the second leg as they look to avoid falling way short of a first Champion's League trophy since 1996 they earmarked when signing Ronaldo.

Gosling wins the ball in midfield, Wilson slips it in for the overlapping Stacey and his cutback is met by Gosling at the near post.
Bournemouth are in deep trouble and look to be heading back to the Championship. Even a win at Goodison Park might not be good enough to get them out of the bottom three. Their away form is dreadful and they concede far too many goals. Everton were in the relegation zone at one time this season but have improved under Carlo Ancelotti. They will want to get back into the top ten next season though. Home form is good, though they have been drawing too many of late. Go for both teams to score in this game.

No, I don't think so [Haaland moving] he'll probably have at least another season in Dortmund," says Rekdal. If not, that would be two quick club changes, with one year in Salzburg before moving on.

Salzburg is on fire although they have been much stronger in their away games than in their home games in this final group stage as they won just 2-0 with Rapid Vienna and struggled a bit last round with LASK at home even though they took the lead 2-0 since the 11th minute they won just 3-1 in the end and the score was only 2-1 late on with LASK attacking but on the road they have won 6-0 away at Hartberg and 5-1 away at Sturm Graz as well.

Brest Malorita had the worst possible start to their new season, and the team played awful. They lost 2-0 against Meliorator at home which is a big blow for them. They have no other option than to win here against Baranovichi.

But I am assuming that they will show an average performance in this one. Brest Malaria is an experienced side and they should prove too strong for the hosts in this one. Also many bookie prices are dropping rapidly. It seems to me that an away is coming here.
