There was no way back, especially after Wolfsburg scored a fourth seven minutes later. The loss has hit their hopes of qualifying for the Chanpions League as they slipped down to fifth place. They are level on points with Borussia Monchengladbach, who are now in fourth and will want to get back into winning ways this weekend.
Atletico missed several chances to take the lead themselves, but German international Ter Stegen's incredible reaction saves - first from Hermoso's close-range shot and then Morata's header - kept Diego Simeone's side out. Messi's late winner from a perfect Luis Suarez perfect lay-off means Atletico have failed to win any of their last 19 league matches against Barcelona, a run stretching back to February 2010.
This probably will be the best match today in Belarus Premier league and I'm pretty sure that I will watch this duel on TV. So, BATE Borisov is of course, one more time, the best team in this league and that is clear for all who are following this league. They are start with two defeated, but if they won today, they will be alone on the first place on the table. In last round, team is played fantastic match against Smolevichi and beat them, 5-3. I believe Slutsk will score here surely goal or two, so over 3 is ok.

I knew the angle was tight so I got enough on it to dink it over him. I thought it might be offside - I joked with my dad last night about what if I scored and it was ruled out!"Southampton forward Michael Obafemi: "It was good to get the goal but in the end it didn't mean anything. The boys just have to come together again. We had a good run, we'll try to pick it back up again and hopefully we do.
However, the striker's absence won't put much of a dent in the Gers' attack, as he has only scored four of the club's last thirteen goals away from home. Moreover, Steven Gerrard's side is the highest-scoring on the road, netting an impressive 21 goals in nine games- an average of 2.33. Rangers were also able to keep a clean sheet once again after they had failed to do so in their last two games, making it three from five.
Since joining the Match of the Day team in 2004 I've commentated on 1,042 football matches for BBC television. I only know that because a number was told to me when I was in the 900s so I thought I might as well keep count!There have been hundreds of others before and since then too, so as I've been doing a lot of "Rewinding" during lockdown, here are a few more commentary reminiscences. Best game I've commentated onThis is something that changes all the time, and to be honest I'm not the best at remembering games once they've passed.

Carlos and Pavel Nedved both went close early on before Trezeguet extended one of those long limbs again to hook in Del Piero's header and put Juve ahead on away goals. Del Piero - brilliant all night - then twisted the great Fernando Hierro inside out before firing home from 16 yards. Real needed a goal, on went Ronaldo, and he won a penalty with a trademark bodyswerve. Up stepped Luis Figo, to attempt to level the tie, but Gigi Buffon guessed right to save his effort.
There's the football, the trophies, the cut and thrust of his professional life and there's the poison. He's had a death threat from the Loyalist Volunteer Force, he's been knocked unconscious in the street, he's had a guy try to run him off the road, he's been spat at and head-butted, he's had bullets in the post, he's had a viable parcel bomb intercepted, a person has done time for a threatening him in a social media post, another person has depicted him in a mock hanging on the internet, somebody else daubed a message on the wall outside Tynecastle saying that he should be killed.

According to the Office for National Statistics, black men and women are nearly twice as likely die from coronavirus than white people in England and Wales. Kante's decision follows a similar stance taken by Watford captain Troy Deeney.

Chelsea do not know when the World Cup winner plans to return to training, which began this week in small groups with social distancing measures in place.

Cartagines will host UCR for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this match. Cartagines are more ambitious team in this season. They probably want to stay among the top 4 teams at the top of the table. In any case, Cartagines have advantage at home stadium. They will try to dominate from the start match. Also, we have UCR who's is a very unpredictable team. True, UCR is better team at home. However, UCR is not very good team away from home. After all, the hosts will try to make a positive result.
WEDNESDAY’S BIG STORIES Sepp knew all along It’s 2am, Wednesday morning. Across the continent, marshals are sneaking into town squares and winding back the countdown clocks.

A London derby defeat at home to a West Ham side in desperate need of points was that very occasion and it would have hurt. Reece James has looked impressive for the Blues when he has been called on but he fell for Aaron Cresswell's feint to shoot with his favoured, and deadly, left foot. Cresswell then checked back to bury a superb strike on his right side. This was an outstanding performance by West Ham and Cresswell in particular.

Tomorrow I hope we see a Barca team that is not over-excited but that is motivated to put into practice all the things we have been working on this week.

MADRID, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid were once world-renowned for their fitness levels but as they host Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday that reputation is in tatters after a glut of injuries and a decline in performances.

They are all having a go, but essentially it all depends on Chelsea and Leicester now. The Foxes have had a bit of a wobble but I still think they are too far ahead of fifth place to be caught. Chelsea, however, have a genuine problem. They seem unable to hold on to leads, home or away, and we have seen the first bit of friction from their manager Frank Lampard with regards to the transfer window and him not getting what he wanted.
On Wednesday, Premier League clubs unanimously voted to resume contact training but Watford are not expected to resume group training until next week. Deeney has spoken with England's deputy chief medical officer, Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, and is expected to return to club training next week. He's been doing very, very good research and there is a lot of goodwill on his part to tell me, ultimately, that I'm going to be looked after as best as they can and, ultimately, there is going to be some form of risk for all of us going back to work," Deeney said.

They were humiliated by bitter rivals Borussia Dortmund in the Revierderby, losing 4-0 and being thoroughly outclassed in the process.
