Who knows how much more they might have achieved but for the desperate tragedy of the Munich air disaster? The Busby Babes were travelling from Belgrade to Manchester via Munich on 6 February 1958, having just successfully reached their second European Cup semi-final Had the team survived, they might have beaten AC Milan in that semi-final and perhaps become the first British side to be crowned European champions.

Barcelona to keep powder dry Spanish newspaper Marca reports that Barcelona will not spend in the January transfer window, as they vie for the league title in Spain. Frenkie De Jong and Antoine Griezmann arrived in the summer, and that is deemed a sufficient outlay for the rest of the season. Jean-Clair Todibo and Carles Alena will be allowed to leave on loan for the remainder of the campaign.

It was 10, 11 and now it is 13 points. We don't feel it, we don't think about it we did not mention it once before the game. I can write the stories by myself. Never before in the history of British football has a team had a bigger lead and lost the lead. That sounds negative in my head and we are just focused on the next games. We have Wolves, Sheffield United, Everton, Tottenham and Manchester United, that does not sound like anything is decided.
The Leeds keeper was banned for eight matches and fined £60,000 after being found guilty of racist abuse in a Championship match against Charlton Athletic last September. Casilla had denied using racially abusive or insulting words, claiming that he was "unaware of the existence" of the racist word he was charged with and found guilty of using.
Cheltenham Town vs Colchester United predictions for Saturday’s League Two clash at Whaddon Road. Which of these two in form sides will come out on top? Read on for all our free League Two betting tips and predictions.
We think this one will be a lot tighter than most would anticipate and we're confident in predicting the 3.5 goal line won't be beaten in this one. Man City don't need a big result to secure qualification and Shakhtar will be looking to keep things tight. While Man City should have too much quality for their opponents, we can't see this being a high-scoring affair.

So when we went a goal down we thought we could still do it. That hope disappeared when Kidd scored his second, running with the ball from the halfway line, playing and receiving a pass, and shooting past goalkeeper Henry Smith. Hearts' long unbeaten run in all competitions was over and so were their title hopes. Black: "You know that's it. It was pandemonium - in a good way'News of Kidd's heroics filtered through to fans listening to radios on the terraces in Paisley and the title was now heading for Glasgow.
Henry and Werner give the impression of just thinking of the bottom line. This is not to pit Liverpool individuals against each other, simply to remind Henry and Werner of the special people who congregate in and around Anfield, and not to embarrass them with crass grabs for public cash. Furloughing? This means money for Henry and Werner.
Liverpool host Watford in the early kick-off and will be expected to get another three points before heading off to Qatar. If that is the case then that will put a bit more pressure on Leicester to continue their impressive form. They have won their last eight league matches playing some fantastic football.
In the first leg of the coppa Italia semi final between Milan and Juventus, Milan outplayed Juventus, however the match end with a draw 1:1. Now Juventus has huge advantage playing at home and I think they will win, but also they will try to recover some of the lost confidence after their shock defeat in the champions league vs Lyon. There is huge quality difference between these two teams, so I think there is big possibility Juventus to win by 2 goals difference. After all, they have Cristiano Ronaldo in their squad. As I said, my bet is Juventus ah -1.5
With Real and Barca in periods of transition, Atleti were expected to launch another title tilt this campaign, but they look far away from Spain’s "big two". With the in-form Valencia and Real Sociedad breathing down their necks, there is a real chance they could miss out on European football altogether next term.
Atletico had to rebuild in the summer after key players Antoine Griezmann, Lucas Hernandez, Rodri, Diego Godin, Filipe Luis and Juanfran all departed. I don't think they can sack Simeone," says Laurens. He presents so much to that club. He might walk out himself if he thinks he reached the end. But this was always going to be a transitional year anyway, because so many big players left last summer.
Wow! Belarus launches the second division, or to be more precise, the “first league” tournament, that tournament from where three teams got into the big league last year, rush through butt games from the day pro, as well as Smolevichi and Belching from the first two places, but the fourth place was the locomotive, which scored as many points as the rush, but was not able to take third place for additional indicators, can you imagine how sad it was? Well, this is a new season, and it’s not a fact that now the Gomel locomotive will dominate as well as last year, maybe now the chemist has become more rural? Therefore, I will not risk it and I’ll play just the total less for the first game of the tour.
Remi Allen Like Baunach, Remi Allen stole the headlines with a late, late show as her Reading side snatched a point from the jaws of defeat on a frosty Friday night in Brighton. The hosts were 2-1 up and cruising towards a third WSL win of the season, but for chaos to ensue in a classic goalmouth scramble.
Brentford missed the chance to put promotion to the Premier League in their own hands by falling to defeat at Stoke City, a result which handed Leeds United the Championship title. Leeds, who were promoted on Friday, now cannot be caught at the top, while the Bees remain third in the table and a point behind West Brom heading into Wednesday's final round of fixtures. Brentford conclude their season against Barnsley at Griffin Park while the Baggies, one of two teams left in the automatic promotion race alongside Fulham, host Queens Park Rangers.
Solskjaer backs Martial to turn season around Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed Anthony Martial to rediscover his scoring touch and says the French forward is giving the club "everything" both on the pitch and the training ground. The 24-year-old has scored 12 goals in all competitions in an injury-hit season but has just one in the last six matches as United struggle for goals in the absence of striker Marcus Rashford, who is nursing a stress fracture in his back.
Meanwhile, there's no pressure on the game for Wolfsberger and that's just as well, as the Austrians are not in good form. With just 4 points to their name, the visitors have struggled to meet the demands of the Europa League and that's unlikely to change in the Italian capital given the shape they arrive in.
Meanwhile, West Brom are the only side in the league who have scored more goals than Preston this term. The Baggies have hit 35 goals already this term, finding the net in 94% of their league games so far. With West Brom claiming the majority of their points on the road, we see them scoring on Monday against a Preston side who have seen both teams score in 78% of their home games.
However, one criticism levelled at Wolves is their rather low win percentage. Four of their seven away games this season have ended all square, with three of their last five resulting in a 1-1 draw. Similarly, two of Brighton’s home matches this season have ended 1-1, so backing this as the correct score looks a very solid choice.
Starting with Real Madrid's game against Eibar on Friday, matches will be played in empty stadiums. Two derbies - Valencia-Levante and Sevilla-Real Betis - are among the matches fans won't be able to attend this weekend. The news comes hot on the heels of Barcelona confirming that their Champions League game with Napoli next week will be closed to spectators.
I'm happy with the energy levels and the commitment. There are a couple of decisions that could have gone either way but we just didn't really get anything clear-cut today. They are a good side but we wanted to impose the game on them. At times, I think we did that, and it is important to get the fans on side and we did. I have had a fantastic six or seven days to work with the lads every day. I absolutely loved it.
