Speaking at a news conference ahead of Real's La Liga meeting with Real Sociedad on Saturday, Zidane said Bale's future is in the player's hands. If one day he has to leave that is his decision, but what I can say about Gareth is today he is here with us, available and I am happy for the team," Zidane said. I consider that there have been lots of things, lots of noise about Gareth. As trainer, I concentrate on the football.
Last Thursday's first leg saw the Portuguese Liga champions fall to a 2-1 defeat. Second-best in terms of possession and second-best when it came to shots taken, the scoreline reflected Benfica's ranking. Shakhtar put in an accomplished performance, stringing neat passing moves together, their first goal being the product of one such play.
Six Barcelona board members have resigned and told president Josep Maria Bartomeu they are unhappy at how the club is being managed. In a joint letter, the six expressed concern over the financial implications of the coronavirus crisis for the club. They also criticised the handling of a scandal in February when the club were forced to deny hiring a firm to attack its own players on social media. And they called for Barca to call new presidential elections.
Ashleigh Barty is the top seed and has only dropped one set on her way to this semi-final. The Australian has had one less match to play too and that could be a key factor here. Petra Kvitova has had a tough route to the last four with two three-setters and one that went to two tie-breaks. Barty has won her last three against Kvitova and can get another win here.

Tonight’s games feature two of the key ingredients that make top-level football these days entertaining: big, powerful clubs, and peril. To summarise: Liverpool need a point to secure qualification for the second phase, as defeat to Red Bull Salzburg would see them depart to their fizzy pop-fuelled opponents; Chelsea have to beat Lille to go through, otherwise they are relying on Ajax to do them a favour against Valencia; Borussia Dortmund and Inter are level on points and duking it out for the second spot in their group with the latter hosting Barcelona and the former facing Slavia Prague; and then there’s Group G, which could see any combination of RB Leipzig, Zenit St Petersburg and Lyon qualify.

The injury came just six weeks after she helped Lyon, where she was on loan, to win the Champions League for a fourth straight year. Fishlock quickly came off her prescribed medication because of a fear of being addicted to opiates. I have an addictive personality. I don't think even I realised how difficult the recovery process is. I think I didn't realise how difficult it would be with the fact I had a double meniscus tear as well.
Bale held a fan's Welsh flag emblazoned with the message 'Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order' after victory over Hungary on Tuesday night which became the talk of the Spanish press in the following days. The forward was left on the bench by Zinedine Zidane and the crowd whistled when his name was announced before the game, then again when he entered the field of play in the 67th minute.
The players have been given individual training programmes as well as exercise videos, and all have GPS apps to track their fitness. We have sent some of the girls equipment to help support them through the programmes," added Jepson. The physical performance coach has been doing a lot of body weight circuits on video. We have sent all the girls resistance bands and they have skipping ropes in the post on their way to them.
You can tell Ziyech is special from the way Ajax are simply delighted to have him available for three more months. A transfer was coming, we expected it to happen," said head coach Erik ten Hag. And I actually already expected this one or two years earlier. And each time it was: 'Wow, he stayed again.
Gornik Zabrze will be meeting today with the away team Cracovia and this game we have given the away team to win this game or they will give us a draw at full-time as the away team have being doing a very good job in both home and away games and so this makes us to be very sure with this but
Whilst the majority of Granada's home matches this term have been low scoring, three of their last four outings at Los Carmenes have produced over 2.5 goals, with the same applying to their last three La Liga games overall.
Wolfsburg have failed to make the Volkswagen Arena a fortress this season. They have won just two of their seven Bundesliga home games at this point. Furthermore, they have taken just one point from their last three Bundesliga home games.
I will back the hosts for the win although two months ago Deportivo was more than 10 points inside the relegation zone and away from safety they have won 7 games in a row in the league meanwhile are a couple of points away from the relegation places right now and are even thinking about promotion and catching another play-off place for promotion after playing the final of the play-offs last season which they narrowly lost to Mallorca.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said: "We play for the people. If the people can't be there, it makes no sense. It's like an actor going to the theatre and nobody is watching. The Spanish players' union (AFE) and the umbrella group of supporters' associations (FASPE) said they would prefer competitions to be postponed, with the latter adding "it does not make sense" to play without fans.
Villa stay on track for a merry Christmas Meanwhile in the Championship, Aston Villa remained on track to head into Christmas unbeaten as they beat London Bees 2-1 at The Hive. It's now eight wins from nine games this season from Gemma Davies' side, who have a three-point lead over Sheffield United at the top of the table, with visits from Leicester and London City Lionesses remaining this year.
Tebas said “between 25-30 positive cases” had been expected, adding that five positive tests is “good news for the football industry”. Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos added: “Players and football can help the economy to work again, help get out of complicated situations again. Football is secondary right now, but it can serve as a distraction for the people who have been suffering. Spain has been one of the worst hit countries in Europe, with 26,621 deaths and 264,663 infections as of 11 May.
That's the only thing I ask because I can't ask any more from the players that they're giving, which is everything they have," Mourinho added. The situation couldn't be worse.

AMSTERDAM, March 3 (Reuters) - UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin told European football's administrators on Tuesday that they can be proud to be in charge of the most popular, wealthiest and best football in the world. In a surprisingly blunt message, the Slovenian told his organisation's annual congress that they should not be ashamed of the success of tournaments such as the Champions League and the Euros -- nor the huge amount money they generate.
That's only been achieved in two of their last 20 league games. Who couldn't score against them? Bournemouth and Norwich City is the answer, the current bottom two sides in the Premier League. The last 15 home league games have only seen them keep one clean sheet but they have scored in all but three of their home matches in the Premier League this season.
It's also the first time the team from Bergamo will face Spanish opposition in a competitive fixture. Valencia have won only one of their eight away games against Italian opposition in the Champions League (D2, L5), a 1-0 victory against Roma in the 2002-03 second group stages. They have also failed to find the net in six of those eight games. Atalanta are the first Champions League debutants to make it to the knockout stages since Leicester City in 2016-17.
Tottenham, who are looking to overturn a 1-0 defeat in the first leg, will be without defender Ben Davies for the clash due to a hamstring issue while winger Steven Bergwijn faces a long spell out after sustaining an ankle injury. Spurs are also without skipper Harry Kane who is stepping up his comeback from a hamstring operation while fellow forward Son Heung-min is nursing a broken arm, but Alli said the team cannot feel sorry for themselves.
There are a number of options being raised as possibilities.

A majority of Famalicao’s wins have been obtained with a one-goal margin and a majority of Portimonense’s defeats had a one-goal margin, which adds more weight to our prediction for a 2-1 final scoreline in favour of Famailcao on Saturday.
Here Crouch explains what impressed him most about Fernandes, and why he has already made such an impact at Old Trafford. He also explores the part forwards Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood have played in United's upturn in form, but warns there is still improvement needed in other areas if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are going to finish in the Champions League places. How Fernandes has lifted Old Trafford Bruno Fernandes played a part in all three United goals against Watford and made a total of four key passes against the Hornets.

The confidence of Kepa Arrizabalaga, the world's most expensive keeper, will not have improved after being dropped for the game in favour of 38-year-old Willy Caballero, whose only meaning contribution was to claw out Leander Dendoncker's dangerous cross. Wolves' campaign continuesWolves have endured a long and arduous campaign that started one year and one day ago in the Europa League and has seen them travel nearly 30,000 miles during that period.
Goals from Olivier Giroud and Marcos Alonso proved to be decisive in the Premier League meeting but Lo Celso was controversially granted a reprieve after a lengthy VAR referral following a stamp on the Chelsea skipper. PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) has subsequently admitted to Sky Sports that the decision not to dismiss Lo Celso was a "human error by video officials".
We know Roberto Firmino likes to drop deeper to get on the ball and link play - but will it be Wilfred Ndidi's job to track him, or will one of the Leicester centre-halves take responsibility?It is going to be a very tight game and it is incredibly difficult to call. One moment could decide it, like it did when these sides met at Anfield in October. Liverpool have come through every challenge they have faced in the Premier League so far this season and, with the title in their sights, they will believe they can pass this test too.
Arsenal have scored in all but one of their home games this season though, while Chelsea have only kept one clean sheet on the road in the league. We’re not expecting a clean sheet for Chelsea, and considering Arsenal have conceded exactly two goals in five of their last seven competitive home games we like the look of a 2-1 correct score prediction.
Situations like this demand quick and exceptional responses," CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez said in a statement.

It was the first time Villa had not faced any shots on target in a Premier League game since January 2016. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's stream of goals have been a highlight of his side's season, but the Gabon forward was frustrated at Villa Park and his future remains a hot topic of conversation among supporters. An aeroplane circled Villa Park"The quicker we do it the better because the player will be more focused, more determined and more calm," said Arteta on the eve of this game when asked if Aubameyang, whose current deal expires next summer, will sign a new contract.
