Liverpool were knocked out of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid In 2019 they earned over £30million on their way to the final against Spurs

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Liverpool have been through their most difficult month of the campaign, with Atletico Madrid beating them home and away in the Champions League and Chelsea knocking them out of the FA Cup. Watford also ruined their hopes of going through the Premier League season unbeaten.

It should not be forgotten, though, that Liverpool are only six points away from being crowned domestic champions for the first time since 1990 and Virgil van Dijk insists the disappointment of losing in Europe will not have a lasting impact.

Carlos Tevez scored the decisive goal as Boca Juniors won the Argentine title They beat Gimnasia 1-0 as rivals River Plate were held to a draw elsewhere Before the game, Tevez kissed Gimnasia manager Diego Maradona for good luck

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Carlos Tevez smooched Argentine idol Diego Maradona for good luck - and then scored the dramatic late goal that clinched the league title for Boca Juniors.

On a thrilling final day of the season, Boca pipped their bitter rivals River Plate to the Superliga crown thanks to a 1-0 win over Gimnasia, the side managed by Maradona.

It was enough for them to leapfrog River, who were held 1-1 by Atletico Tucuman at the same time. Cameras picked up 36-year-old striker Tevez running over to the opposition bench before kick-off to kiss former Boca player Maradona on the mouth.

And it seemed to bring him the good fortune Boca needed as Tevez rifled home the decisive goal 18 minutes from time.

'I knew I had to kiss Diego. I was lucky that way, sometimes you have to look for luck,' said Tevez afterwards.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Newcastle United supporters feel they have been punching below their weight for years but one boxing legend has revealed that he would like to change that.

Juventus played Inter Milan behind closed doors due to coronavirus outbreak Cristiano Ronaldo joked about the lack of fans as he arrived for the match

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Cristiano Ronaldo saw the lighter side of a nationwide ban that saw Juventus' Serie A clash at home to Inter Milan played behind closed doors. 

The coronavirus outbreak led to the Italian government confirming that all sport in the country will be played behind closed doors until April 3.

AC Milan 1-2 Genoa: Silent San Siro sees hosts stunned by relegation scrappers, who climb out of the Serie

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Relegation-battling Genoa moved out of the Serie A bottom three thanks to a surprise 2-1 win over AC Milan at an empty San Siro on Sunday.

The visitors raced into a two-goal lead before half-time after Goran Pandev and Francesco Cassata both turned in crosses from close range.

Milan rallied after the break as Zlatan Ibrahimovic pulled one back, but they could not find an equaliser in an eerie atmosphere at one of Italian football's most iconic stadiums and fell to their first home defeat since early November. Milan had found strong run of form after the winter break, but their rise back up the table after a horrendous first half of the season has been stalled by the lowly Genoa side. 

Arsenal look set to intensify their efforts for Manchester United's Chris Smalling The Gunners have been linked with the experienced defender for several months A £25million valuation has been placed on the England international by United

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Arsenal   are reportedly stepping up their interest in Manchester United's Chris Smalling, and have expressed a willingness to get a deal tied up in the summer.

Mikel Arteta is looking to boost his defensive ranks with experienced stars, and has continued monitoring Smalling's eye-catching performances on loan with Roma in Serie A.

Now the Gunners are ready to intensify their efforts to sign the 30-year-old, who is set to remain in Italy for the rest of the campaign, according to the Express. United, aware of the growing interest in Smalling from European clubs, have placed a £25million valuation on the player's head.

Football matches are set to be played behind closed doors to prevent the spread Bayern Munich's second leg Champions League tie with Chelsea is set to be hit

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Bayern Munich Champions League second leg clash with Chelsea at the Allianz Arena is set to be played behind closed doors, due to ongoing fears of the spread of coronaVirus.

German publication Spiegelhave revealed the local powers in Munich are looking to cancel or restrict events which will attract over 1000 spectators.  With a move in place to restrict events in the area, Bayern's Champions League home game against Chelsea on March 18 and the Bundesliga game against Eintracht Frankfurt four days later would be affected according to Bild. 

A cabinet meeting is set to be held in Bavaria on Tuesday, from which an official decision will be reached.

Manchester United starlet Tahith Chong has signed a new contract with the club The Red Devils had been worried about the youngster departing for free, The deal is worth in the region of £30,000-per-week and runs until June 2022

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Tahith Chong has signed a new contract at Manchester  United worth £30,000-a-week, it has been confirmed.

Chong, 20, would have been a free agent this summer and has been strongly linked with Inter Milan, but United persuaded the Holland Under-21 winger to commit his future to them until June 2022 with the option of another year.

A host of Premier League stars were honoured at the London Football Awards Tammy Abraham won Premier League Player of Year and Young Player of Year

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Tammy Abraham earned double honours at the London Football Awards as he was crowned Premier League Player of Year and Young Player of Year at a star-studded bash in Camden.

A host of figures from the game attended the event including David Seaman, Ashley Cole and Carlton Cole as players and organisations from across the region were recognised for their achievements.

Leicester City 4-0 Aston Villa, Leicester can make up points on Manchester City following their derby defeat

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Leicester finish the half with another attack on the right, which leads Albrighton to participate in a show of handbags with Mings as the Villa defender shelters it behind. An obvious yellow, as the Villa man stops Pereira breaking away by pulling him back at the shoulder. Pepe Reina will never want to see this back. He's come rushing out and got it all wrong.

Albrighton plays a searching ball over the top from the half-way line, just hoping Barnes can run onto it and make something happen.

Manchester United 2-0 Manchester City, Anthony Martial gave Manchester United the lead in the 30th minute at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon The Frenchman fired home from a clever Bruno Fernandes free kick beyond Manchester City keeper Ederson

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 This was a huge performance, and an even bigger win, for Manchester United. It was a milestone result under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a game-changing performance for a team that no longer appears to be in transition but heading towards a very positive point of arrival. Bruno Fernandes has transformed this midfield, in a way Paul Pogba was supposed to, but did not. Fred looks a player, Anthony Martial a match-winning striker at last. As for the defence, they held strong, particularly in the second-half when Manchester City dominated in search of a goal. If anything, Victor Lindelof looked even more resilient than Harry Maguire. 

It is an irony that players signed by Jose Mourinho are far closer to justifying their purchase under his successor Solskjaer. Perhaps it is simply the passing of time, and experience, in the Premier League. Perhaps Solskjaer is prepared to devote more of his energy to understanding and correcting their flaws. Certainly, he is getting a tune out of Martial whose four goals in five games is his best run since October-November 2018, when he had Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford and Alexis Sanchez as support. This time, Martial is shouldering the burden in the front-line alone with Rashford out, and the others gone. After an unconvincing start, he is rising to the occasion and Solskjaer deserves credit for that, too.
