His display against Real Sociedad provided a perfect microcosm of the issues Messi is currently experiencing. The Argentine’s goal from the penalty spot proved to be the difference between the two teams, earning the win Barcelona needed to see them back to the top of La Liga after last weekend’s Clasico loss to Real Madrid, but this only masked another frustrating night.
They can't go the rest of the season without getting a replacement and they would argue the options were not extensive.

Germany 3 Liga and match between Carl Zeiss Jena and Chemnitzer. Jena only started training the other day because they had big problems with the corona, so I guess they asked for a little and to postpone this match. Jena also have financial problems, are in last place on table with a goal difference of 27:61. In last 3 rounds the have 3 defeats: Munich 1860 with 0:3, Magdeburg 6:2 and Meppen 0:2. About Chemnitzer, they are at 14 place and they started to play better and better in the last 6 round only one defeat, they have been training together for a long time and they are maximally ready for this match. For me easy win but my opinion is over 3.5 goals.
Jadon Sancho, who has been struggling with a groin strain, again started on the bench but came on to set up the second goal, scored via a low drilled finish by Achraf Hakimi.

Dortmund's win means they are now a point behind Bayern but the reigning champions can increase this to four again with victory over Eintracht Frankfurt later on Saturday.

Midfielders - Willian (Chelsea), Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd), Declan Rice (West Ham), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) Willian: He was outstanding against West Ham in midweek and the architect of Watford's downfall at Stamford Bridge.

And then the old football habits that will never die, the agony of victory and defeat, will resurface. Liverpool's first title in 30 years, the fight to avoid relegation, the battle for the top four, the FA Cup, the big European competitions - muscle memory will soon kick in. Of course, in the strictly football context, the game will only return to its former self when fans can meet before the game, pack out a stadium, then congregate later to chew the fat over what they have just seen, complain about a decision, celebrate a great goal.
I expect here one very casual match for sure.Both teams got nothing to fight for and should not force too much.There is only 6 rounds to go and Boavista and Santa Clara are safe at the mid table so they can play without any pressure or burden on players backs.So far Boavista are at the 10th place with 35 pts while Santa Clara are at the 8th with 38 pts and when you consider all this is a great achievement for both teams certanly.Traditionaly this two teams are playing with much goals and there hasnt been a draw since 2003 but also its important to say that at the last 10 yrs this two teams meet only 3 times.

Hi. My pick for this match in Division 2 in Belarus in over 3.75 goals. Dinamo Maloritashould be all over this game trying their best to win it, but I think that they will win this match very high. Their rival is in a very poor shape. They lost the last match until 9: 1. And their current opponent is very good and I think that they will win this match 3:1. They have very weak defense and have lost the last 5 matches in the last 5 matches. I think they may lose 4-5 goals in this match.

I will kick myself if he is out for a long time. He is that maverick free spirit we have to manage. He wanted to play, to be fair to him. In Thursday's 2-0 win at Sheffield United, Saint-Maximin headed his first goal for the Magpies but was substituted in the 81st minute and left the field with a heavily strapped ankle. He had a nasty ankle the other night and was hobbling around, but when he pulls up the way he did, then we all fear the worst and that is the downside of playing somebody tired," Bruce added.
