He scored a record 59 goals for Spain, helping his country win Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup. Throughout his career Villa was linked with a number of Premier League teams including Chelsea and Liverpool. So why did he not play in England?"I love the Premier League. In my career I always watched a lot of games in the Premier League," he said. I always thought about going there one time, but in the moment that all these offers arrived to me or to my agent, I made another decision.
Neither of these two teams have been particularly solid at the back this season. Werder Bremen have failed to keep a single clean sheet in the Bundesliga this season. They have conceded 29 goals in their 14 games. We don't fancy their chances of earning a first clean sheet at the Allianz Arena.
At the Vitality Stadium, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard was relieved, but still a little alarmed to be left reliant on defender Alonso coming to the rescue. I don't want my left-back top of the scoring charts. I want our attackers scoring goals and they haven't," said Lampard, after watching Alonso head home five minutes from time to ensure Chelsea avoided a second defeat in five days following their humbling Champions League home loss to Bayern Munich.
Another big El Clasico showdown takes place this weekend. Barcelona are two points clear of rivals Real Madrid in the hunt for the La Liga title, with Zinedine Zidane's side hosting Quique Setien's men at the Bernabeu at 20:00 GMT on Sunday. Both teams are brimming with talent - but could you recognise some famous faces from a childhood photograph? Below there are seven players who star for the two Spanish giants.

Sofiane Boufal hit his toe at home on the table, the big one," said the Austrian. It's a little bit swollen still and it would be a little difficult for the weekend I think, but next weekend yeah. It's not broken or something but it's very swollen and that's the problem. Asked for more information about the incident, Hasenhuttl continued: "He runs through the kitchen and hit against the table, or something like that.
It is difficult to imagine him spending any long period there once he leaves Barcelona. Perhaps a year before the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Now 32, would that be the year when he retires? He will decide year by year. When asked if he will stay at Barcelona he always gives the same answer: "As long as both sides are happy, why not?" Messi has scored 26 goals in El ClasicoBut the overriding consideration has always been that he should be playing in a team that is competitive and fighting for trophies and titles.
She still has club ambitions - winning the Champions League is a clear goal and that has been shown by Chelsea's ambitious business in the transfer window recently. Manchester United's Casey Stoney made over 100 appearances for England as a player - a number of those as captain - and was on Neville's coaching staff after retiring in 2018. But Stoney signed a contract in November committing her to United until 2022, so would promoting the Lionesses' assistant head coach Bev Priestman be a viable option to oversee England in the meantime?The luxury of having these major tournaments delayed is that the FA have time to recruit smartly but they must use it wisely.
However, Arteta has earned rave reviews for his work at Manchester City with Pep Guardiola, most notably from the City boss himself. The Spaniard has long been tipped to make the step into management and some believe that he will be the person City look to when it comes time to replace Guardiola. If Ljungberg fails will Arsenal really put their faith in a different rookie manager? Josep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, Manchester CityGetty Images CARLO ANCELOTTI Age – 60 Current club – Napoli Next Arsenal manager odds – 5/1 Ancelotti is with Napoli and was initially at far longer odds than these before reports emerged that he is under consideration from the Arsenal board.
Today we will see the match between lower rank Swedish teams and for me, Sollentuna is favorite to win with at least two goals advantage. They got a better squad and there is a huge quality difference between both teams. I don't think that the hosts will struggle against FOC Farsta tonight. To be honest I bet here Asian handicap -2.25 for Sollentuna and I believe that they will score at least three of four goals. It is possible to see both teams score but anyway the hosts should dominate this match and beat Farsta. It is the best choice for this match

The content published is Ozil’s personal opinion. As a football club, Arsenal has always adhered to the principle of not involving itself in politics. This is not a tirade at Arsenal more the state of society. Money rules, and so if any player at any club had passed the above comment then that club would have released a similarly callow, subservient and depressing statement as they have to protect those revenue streams.
Aston Villa have picked up just two points from the last 21 available in the Premier League (P7 W0 D2 L5), although they have avoided defeat on the road for the first time in four games. Since beating Dean Smith's Brentford with Hull back in April 2016, Steve Bruce remains winless in seven games against his fellow Englishman (D3 L4) including both Premier League matches with Newcastle this season (D1 L1).

They will go through regardless of the outcome at the Emirates if Standard Liege lose their match against Vitoria Guimaraes. Arsenal beat Eintracht 3-0 in the reverse fixture at the Waldstadion thanks to goals from Joe Willock, Bukayo Saka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who replaced Xhaka as club captain. Eintracht are 10th in the Bundesliga, having lost 2-0 at home to Wolfsburg last Saturday. Mustafi 'still here' Shkodran Mustafi, left, has made 121 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal since joining in 2016German defender Shkodran Mustafi is expected to feature for Arsenal, having started all four of their Europa League games despite having yet to feature in the Premier League this season.

After two days of shutdowns and cancellations the sporting cupboard for the next two months looks bare. On Thursday, the big American sports leagues -- NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball -- were all suspended, the ATP men's tennis tour was shut down and golf's Players Championship was abandoned after one round.
Taxi for Baggies playersRooted to the bottom of the Premier League after just one win in their previous 25 matches, West Brom manager Alan Pardew could not have imagined things getting any worse when he took his side on a mid-season break to Barcelona. Instead the trip went horribly wrong, with Baggies quartet Gareth Barry, Jonny Evans, Jake Livermore and Boaz Myhill having to apologise after a taxi was stolen from outside a fast-food restaurant in the city.
Kodjia again from close range to make it four. This is starting to get cruel. Great play from Jota to set up Elmohamady, who threaded the ball across for Kodjia to score his second of the game. SAVE! Nyland again denies Liverpool! And again it is Kane from close range, diverting the ball towards goal, only for Nyland to throw out a left arm to deny the youngster.
Gent is 4th and they play against the 1st place today Club Brugge. Club Brugge is with 45 points in first place and they have 8 points more than 2nd place Antwerp. Gent have 35 points and have a good chance today that with a win they can take the second place however I predict a draw here. Maybe Club Brugge will not play hard today seeing the difference between them and the second place. Gent will look to win this match but however I don't think that Club Brugge will allow them to win. I see this match a draw.

Before that they had won three straight league games but have returned to the form that saw them earn two points from eight matches in December and January.

The so-called failure at Manchester United still included Carabao Cup and Europa League success in his first season. This is different. Yes, many Spurs fans had questioned Pochettino's approach and demeanour this season, but the 47-year-old still retained huge affection and admiration for what he had achieved. Mourinho's arrival has not just been greeted in many quarters with suspicion and incredulity, but also hostility on two counts.

If he doesn't achieve that this season and is barred from even attempting it for two years, that will be a major blow to the coach whose contract at City runs out at the end of next season. There has already been speculation about whether Guardiola will extend his contract, take a break, or take on a new challenge.
Cagliari are one of the easiest scoring home teams in the league with 19 goals in 8 games at home. Only today's opponent Lazio has scored more goals at home so far this season. In the last 4 games at home Cagliari has scored a total of 14 goals. However, they also have kept a clean sheet only once at home this season.
She battled to help Yeovil gain promotion to the Women's Super League in 2017 before spending two years at Birmingham and she is confident these experiences have taught her enough to guide Spurs to success. I think coming to Tottenham is really pushing my game forward," she said. I needed that challenge, I needed to step up myself and have people look up to me and have people learn from me.
In the week that long-serving manager Nigel Clough left the club because of the financial pinch of the pandemic, Robinson said their very existence is being risked by trying to play on this season. I don't want us to play nine games and fork out £140,000 [for testing] when we're having to pay our overheads over the coming months when not knowing when next season's going to start," Robinson told BBC Radio 5 live.

Grasshopper against Aarau in match Switzerland Challenge League. My prediction this match could be won for Grasshopper with margin score is 1 goal. Grasshopper have good result on last 3 match in league due to Grasshopper have won in 1 match and 2 match is draw. Meanwhile, Aarau have also good result on last 3 match in league due to Aarau have won in 1 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Nevertheless, my prediction that Grasshopper can defeat Aarau due to Grasshopper always have good result in every home match. Moreover Grasshopper only have draw in 2 match and 3 match is won on last 5 match in the home.

In this enormous silence that surrounds us during the lockdown, there is almost a Zen atmosphere. We can hear the birdsong even in the megalopolis of the big city, see how quickly the smog cleared, even after some chose to mock that wonderful young girl, Greta Thunberg. It will be wonderful when football and sport return, as emotions and memories will help us to get back to living our full lives.
An average of 3.25 goals were plundered per 90 minutes of action across Arsenal's last eight top-flight matches, with over 2.5 goals scored and both teams registering in five of those same eight fixtures.
He keeps it simple, has incredible energy and is really quick. He's young but he's had a good education and has an intelligent football brain. There have been suggestions Zidane may take advantage of Valverde's physical capabilities and selfless attitude by employing him in a man-marking role on Messi on Wednesday. However, that would detract from another of his assets, and one area where he looks superior to De Jong: his ability to create and score goals.
Zidane courts Mbappe ahead of PSG meeting Zinedine Zidane has re-stoked rumours Real Madrid will make a move for Kylian Mbappe ahead of Paris Saint Germain's trip to the Bernabeu in the Champions League. The La Liga side have long been linked with a move for the France World Cup-winner, and the manager was tickled into declaring his on-going affection for the player by reporters in the build-up to Tuesday's game.
Brighton then completed their hat trick of wins over a Norwich City side that are in freefall, and while Albion could only beat what was in front of them, Leicester City will represent their toughest challenge on home turf in quite a while.
Dinamo Brest will host Shakhtyor Soligorsk for the Cup. I expect, this will be a very interesting match. Also, I think, this will be a very tense match. I believe, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Also, I believe, Shakhtyor are more ambitious team. However, they are not convincing team in this new season. In any case, this will not be an easy task on the road. Also, we have Dinamo Brest who's is very average team. However, Dinamo Brest have advantage at home stadium. I think, the hosts will try to make a positive result on the home ground. My pick - Dinamo Brest to win.
