I felt it physically. I was like 'wow'. That would have been hard. He added: "But when it was off the table I felt quite relieved. I didn't think when we went to lockdown 'Oh my god, that is our season, we are so close', because it was not important in that moment. If they win their next two games - Sunday's Merseyside derby at Everton (19:00 BST), followed by Wednesday's visit of Crystal Palace to Anfield (20:15) - Liverpool will win a 19th top-flight title, regardless of how second-placed Manchester City fare at home to Burnley on Monday.

You have to educate people in the VAR to get them to intervene at the right moment.

It was a match that will long live in the memory of Paris St-Germain supporters, even though they were not there to see it. Worries over the coronavirus meant the Parc des Princes closed its gates to fans for the Champions League last-16 second leg against Borussia Dortmund, but that did not stop them from gathering outside in their droves. The faithful were glued to their smartphones as they watched their side try to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2016 by overturning a 2-1 first leg deficit.
Fellow ex-England captain Gary Lineker told BBC One's The Andrew Marr Show that footballers he had spoken to were "desperately keen" to offer help but were an "easy" target for criticism.

In February, Kirby told Chelsea's official website she was "struggling with understanding" how and why [the illness] happened. I didn't even have the energy to be frustrated. I had no emotion. It took over my life in a negative way," she added. Pericarditis often occurs after a viral infection and typically causes chest pain and fever.

Manchester City can still have a "successful season" despite looking like relinquishing their Premier League title, says forward Raheem Sterling. Pep Guardiola's side, champions for the past two seasons, are 22 points behind leaders Liverpool going into Sunday's derby against rivals Manchester United. City have already won the Carabao Cup and remain in the Champions League and FA Cup. Sterling told Football Focus the league campaign had been "disappointing".
In England, Cheltenham Town and Northampton Town are expected to meet today in a League 2 match which will be held at Whaddon Road stadium, Cheltenham city.

Brighton look to ensure their top-flight safety when they host Newcastle in the Premier League at The Amex on Monday night. The Seagulls are 15th at the time of writing, six points clear of the relegation zone with two games to play. They have a nine-goal advantage over Bournemouth even if the Cherries were to make up the points deficit, but Brighton would rather not leave anything to chance.
Of course, if these players want to work out on a machine in their homes, or all be quarantined together at Juan Pinto Duran (the national football stadium), then that's their call.

Los Blancos have kept clean sheets in four of their last five outings in all competitions and in four of their last five home La Liga games, so we fancy Zidane's side to edge out a Sevilla side that have conceded an average of just one goal per game on their travels this term.
Lyon have kept just two clean sheets in the six matches under García and with seven goals conceded in that time. Since the arrival of Rudi Garcia, I do not find particularly strong Lyon although they arrive somehow to have the second best attack of the championship after obviously the PSG. Lyon have scored at least one goal in the past five meetings, they are good enough to score against any opponent in league 1. Nice has some elements to be worth. First Youcef Attal a defender who brings a real offensive support may prove useful against Lyon. In view of the current dynamics of both teams, I suppose that will normally score, good luck to all.
Second placed Leicester City will play host to 12th placed Southampton when the Premier League goes to the 22nd round of matches this weekend. Ahead of the game, Leicester City have managed 45 points and Southampton 25. Leicester go to the game on a four-match unbeaten run, having won three and drawn one since their 4-0 loss to Liverpool.

Unsurprisingly, the victory came at Carrow Road, one of only a handful of venues that Norwich have managed to win this season.

statistics on Carlisle side in this one because they are undefeated for 4 games in a row and on the other side Cheltenham did not won on the road for 6 in a row but still I m going to favorize visitors because they are better team no doubts in that and they are contenders for the play off,I bet on them couple days ago when they lost from Scunthorpe on the road and I will do it again, the odd is great and I risk but who don't want to do it, I surely recommend to go with dnb on Cheltenham!
Drinkwater, who has only played three games in 17 months, was at fault for City's first two goals and looked off the pace as Villa struggled. Danny will make us a better team," said Smith. He has looked good in training and he got 75 minutes today, which he needed. He was not the reason we lost 6-1. Smith said if Villa fail in their striker search "we will cope". However, they have scored more than once only three times in 13 Premier League games and conceded 23 in their last nine, which has included a single clean sheet, so there are clear issues to address at both ends of the pitch.
Away from home in the same time period, however, eight teams have a better record, including Wolves and Crystal Palace. The Gunners' 30 points from 25 away games are less than half what Liverpool have achieved (63), and nine points worse off than north London rivals Tottenham. Arsenal have also only kept two clean sheets on the road in that time, pointing to a wider malaise at the back. Their most recent example of defensive solidity on the road came on the first day of the season when they beat Newcastle 1-0.
