Martin Dubravka (Slovakia) vs. Spain Slovakia were holding Spain 0-0 in the 30th minute when the Slovakian goalkeeper manages to do the unthinkable. Spain were off and running to a 5-0 win. 3.

David Marshall (Scotland) vs. Czech Republic This goal will always Lucas Patrick Jerseys be down to Patrik Schicks vision, daring and accuracy, but Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall also had a big hand in it. 5. Lukas Hradecky (Finland) vs. Belgium It feels harsh to crush Hradecky for this, but pro goalkeepers are also paid for their quick instincts.

Wojciech Szczesny (Poland) vs. Slovakia This Slovakia goal got Polands Euro 2021 campaign off to a woeful start. And its Polands goalkeeper who gets the credit Eddie Jackson Jerseys for it.

They played a fantastic game with and without the ball. The whole team played an intensive game. We deserved Denver Broncos Accessories to win. "This is a really good option two strikers .

It's very difficult and to get where we are is difficult but that's the challenge." Related Articles

Godin took an elbow to the face from Valencia goalkeeper Neto, leaving him bleeding heavily and television replays showed one of the Uruguay international's teeth flying out of his mouth J.J.

Two teams looking to reach new European heights meet as Rangers and Eintracht Frankfurt clash in the UEFA Europa League final in Seville, Spain. While Celtic dominated the domestic season in Scotland, Rangers can make its own mark on the campaign through European play. They can become the first Scottish club to ever claim the UEFA Europa League and the second Scottish club since Celtic's 1967 European Cup triumph to claim a major European club trophy that still exists in some form today (Aberdeen won the 1983 Cup Winner's Cup which was discontinued in 1999). Eintracht Frankfurt, meanwhile, is in the club's first-ever Europa League final and third-ever European final after the 1960 European Cup and the 1980 UEFA Cup (the UEFA Cup was the precursor of the Europa League). The German side knocked off Barcelona on its path to Seville and has yet to lose a single time throughout this season's tournament. The match promises to be an enthralling final for neutrals and supporters of two teams that love to score and punish teams on the break. MORE: Eintracht Frankfurt vs LaDainian Tomlinson Jerseys . Rangers betting odds Odds via DraftKings (USA), (Canada), and SkyBet (UK) Eintracht Frankfurt is the slight favorite, but the betting market sees a final with razor-thin margins ahead.

Those indicate that it will be Eintracht Frankfurt that will overwhelm the Scottish side in the end. First off, the German club's supporters have both for this European campaign and in previous overseas trips, and this final should be no exception. Seville will be overwhelmed with German supporters, and while Rangers also travel well, the stadium should display a clear home-field advantage for one of the two. Second, Eintracht Frankfurt has the more dangerous players. Filip Kostic has the most a sists in the Europa League this season (5), and that's not just down to small sample size. His Khalil Mack Jerseys 9 a sists in Bundesliga play are tied for eighth, but his 10.05 expected a sists rank fifth. The Serbian now heads back to Spain where he had the self-proclaimed "best game of my life" against Barcelona. Filip Kosti: "The best game of my career." UEFA Europa League (@EuropaLeague) Rangers lost the first leg of both their quarterfinal and semifinal series, both on the road and both by 1-0 results. It required late heroics on both occasions to see Rangers through, with an extra-time aggregate-goal winner against Braga in the quarters followed by an 81st minute triumph against RB Leipzig. There will be no friendly home field confines to spur the team on this time, and the opponent is far more sturdy. Frankfurt are a stellar close-game team in European competition. The German club hasn't been beaten in Europa League play this season at all, but an even closer look sees that a whopping11of their 12 Europa League matches have finished either level or with Frankfurt ahead by a single goal. Only a 3-1 win against Olympiacos in group stage play bucked the trend. Moneyline lean:Eintracht FrankfurtScoreline prediction:Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Rangers MORE: Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Rangers Keenan Allen Jerseys best bets & expert analysisEintracht Frankfurt vs. Rangers best bet This should be a close match between two very good teams in a competition known for chaos, so predicting the match is a difficult proposition. While the focus for this game has largely focused on the two teams' comparative attacking prowe s, it's the defensive structure that sets them apart. Eintracht Frankfurt has kept just two clean sheets all Europa League campaign, but limiting the damage has seen the club concede two or more goals just twice as well. The lo s of center back Martin Hinteregger for the remainder of the season hurts, but Evan Ndicka's stock has soared this season, and fellow 22-year-old Tuta has done his best defensive work in the Europa League. Ndicka is SofaScore's eighth-best defender in the Bundesliga this season, while Tuta has completed more tackles than anyone else in Europa League play. Rangers, meanwhile, have had a few big performances of late, but Chase Daniel Jerseys also some duds. Lo ses by 1-0 to both RB Leipzig and Braga saw the Scottish side need home leg comebacks to advance, and early lo ses to Lyon and Sparta Prague, both without scoring, are also worrisome. While the team is different under Giovanni van Bronckhorst now than they were at that time under Steven Gerrard who departed in November, Rangers still boast an attack that's prone to invisible performances. Goals will be hard to come by in this match, and Frankfurt should have the firepower to take it over the line. Pick:Eintracht Frankfurt double chance (draw or win)and under 3.5 goalsOdds: -155Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Rangers prop: Yellow cards This is the juiciest card prop you'll see for a while. Eintracht Frankfurt, topping the Europa League in both total yellow cards and fouls conceded, is playing Rangers, the second-highest Europa League participant when it comes to fouls conceded and third-highest on yellow cards. In 12 matches, Frankfurt has collected 31 yellow cards, over 2.6 Uchenna Nwosu Jerseys per game, and committed a gargantuan 186 fouls, averaging 15.5 per match. Rangers, meanwhile, has slightly tamer numbers, but still stands near the top of the table. And yet, somehow, Eintracht Frankfurt to collect over 2.5 yellow cards in a European final against a counterattacking team in Rangers has plus odds. There's no running away from this one. Add in the 4.5 over/under card total for the match, and it's hard to fathom a way this doesn't come in. Prop Pick 1:Eintracht Frankfurt over 2.5 cards (+110 on DraftKings)Prop Pick 2:Over 4.5 total cards (-145 on DraftKings)

Liverpool need a new goalkeeper, says Steve Nicol, with AC Milans Gianluigi Donnarumma an ideal Yannick Ngakoue Jerseys option for the next decade. Jurgen Klopp has spent the 2017-18 campaign rotating his options between the sticks, with Loris Karius currently being favoured to Simon Mignolet. Nicol is not convinced by either and believes the Reds need to be in the market for a new No. 1 this summer. The former Reds star told ESPN FC: To be honest I think Liverpool should go and see if they can either get a No. 1 or have somebody whos on a level with Karius. Mignolet isnt, hes clearly the No 2 Rodney Thomas Jerseys and I think what Mignolets doing is waiting to see if he can get a game in the World Cup. Thibaut Courtois has had a couple Peyton Manning T Shirts of injury nicks recently and a good World Cup would mean Mignolet is in the shop window and he could get himself a good move. Liverpool spent big in January plugging a defensive hole with 75 million centre-half Virgil van Dijk, and Nicol feels they should be looking to Italy for another long-term solution in a problematic position. The Scot added: Liverpools problems were always the defensive unit and by that, more importantly, the centre-back position Dayo Odeyingbo Jerseys and the goalkeeper. Theyve certainly made a difference signing Van Dijk in the centre-back position.   Karius, as good as the last couple of Brandon Kemp Jerseys months he has had, are we really 100 per cent relying on him? Im not ready for that yet. That means Liverpool, in my opinion, have to go out and get a recognised No 1. I would have no problem with him Roma keeper Ali son , I would have no problem if they can get the likes of Donnarumma who would be a goalkeeper for the next decade. But I think definitely its a priority now for Liverpool. It is a weak spot, again as good as Karius has been recently, hes not the finished article Curtis Brooks Jerseys by a long way.

Minerva Punjab coach Khogen Singh's pre s conference in Panchkula, immediately after becomingthe I-League champions, was repeatedly interrupted DeAndre Carter Jerseys bycelebratory drum beats. Amidst all thebrouhaha, one name was heard loud and clear. "Sukhi (Sukhdev Singh) is the backbone of our team. He has been consistent throughout the league," said Singh, when questioned about the most steady performer for Minerva. The 26-year old defender from Hoshiarpur built a formidable partnership at the heart of defence along with Ivorian Eric Dano, conceding only 16 times in 18 matches, just three more than Mohun Bagan who tops the list of least goals scored against. With both wing backs surging forward often, Sukhdev showed excellent positioning to shore up the defence and cut down spaces. The sturdy defender with adominating physiquelikes to stick tight to strikers. Casey Toohill Jerseys Although he makes at least nine tackles a game,he is precise and disciplined with his challenges as he has committed only 10 fouls in his 18 appearances. His long throw-ins into the six-yard boxbecame another potent set-piece weaponin Minerva's armoury.   Kamalpreet Singh, the young right back of AIFF Elite Academy, has been another revelation for Minerva Punjab. The 20-year old wing back from Ludhiana has pace to burn on the flanks and is never afraid to go on the over-lap. A sured by the triumvirate of Sukhdev-Dano-Aidara, he was allowed the freedom to bomb forward at every opportunity, adding another dimension to Minerva's attacks. Whenever Minerva had po se sion, Kamalpreet would be seen in advanced positions, unlike an Ryan Kerrigan Jerseys orthodox right-back.His inch-perfect cro ses targeting Chencho Gyeltshen inside the box were a common yet lethal attacking facetfor Minerva. it must be noted that he has suffered more fouls (13/8) than he has committed speaks volume about hisattacking instincts. He has already donned the U-16 and U-19 national jersey and his next target must be to break into the U-23 national team.   The 26-year-old Abhishek Ambekarfrom Mumbaiwas part of the Air India and Mumbai FC squads in the past. His partnership with Chencho on the left has beenbrilliant. When the Bhutanese winger cuts inside from the Landon Collins Jerseys left, Ambekar takes upa wide left position up the field which helped Minerva stretch the opposition. He has provided three a sists, the most by a defender in this season of the I-League. Once again, like Kamalpreet he has suffered more tackles than committed which explains that Minerva's wingbacks have contibutedto their attacking gameplay. Players like Akash Sangwan Chris Cooley Jerseys , Gagandeep Bali and Moinuddin Khan have also made vital contributions to theteam. While Sangwan and Khan have chipped in with crucial goals in important fixtures, Gagandeep hasbeen awork horse for Minerva, having been deployed in various positions in attack and defence. His physical stature has helped Minerva whiledefending numerous set-pieces as his aerial prowe s has come to the fore. The 27-year-old was never shy of dropping back when Minerva lost po se sion and helped his skipper Ka Sean Taylor Jerseys sim Aidara in mopping up the loose balls in midfield. Head coach Khogen Singhwas insisting on team work after Minerva won the league and said, "There are no Africans or Indians aswe perform as a team." It will be unfair to pa s on all the laurels to the overseas players like Chencho, Aidara, Dano and William Opuku, as although they have been the principal architects of Minerva's succe s, Khogen's concept of a team would have fallen flat on its face without the equally brilliant performances of the Indian players.

"On one hand, it's strange for all the fans that the coach has left. But it's definitely a fresh start.

This is the opening game in the Caf Confederation Cup group B on Sunday. Arguably the best Africa-based striker at the moment, El Kaabi will certainly top Al-Hilals list of worries at the Stade Municipal de Berkane with the home side making their debut in the competition. After netting an awe-inspiring nine goals at the Chantournament earlier this year, the highest ever individual tally at the tournament, El Kaabi suddenly became a goal-scoring sensation on the continent. Steven Wirtel Jerseys His terrific form of 10 goals in eight games for Morocco this year alone, including during Marchs international friendly match against Uzbekistan has now almost guaranteed him a World Cup berth. The 24-year-olds case has also been aided by the four goals he has so far managed in the Confederation Cup, giving Al- JJ Molson Jerseys Hill enough reason to treat him as a genuine concern. The Berkane are just newboys in the tournament and they could be overshadowed by El Kaabi for theperennial CAF inter-club contestants, Al-Hilal. The Moroccans pa sed their biggest test of their African campaign so far by eliminating Tunisian giants Club Africain 4-1 on aggregate in the first round with Togos Generation Foot and Mbour Petite Cote of Senegal also falling victims to them. Berkane are yet to lose at home in this competition in which they have scored 10 goals in six games. Al-Hilal on the other hand have not been good travellers, losing all their three away Don Hutson Jerseys matches on the continent this season. They went down 3-1 to Akwa United in Nigeria in the play-offs second Josh Jackson Jerseys leg but fortunately reached the group stages on away goals after a 2-0 home win. The Sudanese were initially in the Champions League where they were kicked out by Togo Port following an away 2-0 defeat which demoted them to the Confederation Cup. They also succumbed 1-0 away to Liberian side LISCR earlier in the Champions League preliminaries before a home win sailed them through to the next round. Elsewhere in Group B, Egyptian outfit Al-Masry welcome UD Songo of Mozambique in Port Said. Both sides failed to make headway from the earlier stages of the same competition last season and will this time around be seeking to leave their mark. Coached by Egypt football great Ho sam Ha san, Al-Masry dumped Zambian side Green Buffaloes, Simba of Paul Hornung Jerseys Tanzania and Gabons Mounana on their way to the mini-league stage. Having managed to avoid defeat so far, Al-Masry will fancy their chances on Sunday against the Mozambicans who in reaching the group stages lost two away games including a 4-0 demolition by giants TP Mazembe in Lumbumbashi. UD Songo who started their African season in the Champions League had to thank the away goals advantage over Al-Hilal El Obayed of Sudan in the play-offs to storm into the Confederations Cup Gerhard De Beer Jerseys group stage for the first time ever.

From Kenny Dalglish and Robbie Fowler to Stan Collymore and Mohamed Salah, Liverpool fans have rarely been short of strikers providing immense entertainment on and off the pitch. Divock Origi is one of those names Reds fans will never forget. The laidback Belgium international may have scored fewer goals than some of the forwards he will join in the club's hall of fame, but his place in the club's history is as a sured as the liver bird. If the word 'legend' can feel like a ubiquitous superlative, it's rare to hear managers use it yet that's what Jurgen Klopp called Carolina Panthers Jackets Origi. Here are some of the reasons why. When did Liverpool sign Divock Origi? Had Origi been a more consistently prolific presence for Liverpool, it is curiously conceivable that the 27-year-old would not have earned the status and popularity he holds with the people who have watched him most intently since his arrival from French club Lille in 2014. The prospect did not make a promising start. Following his 10 million transfer, Lille appeared to have pulled off a coup by re-signing Origi, who had become the youngest scorer in his country's history at the 2010 World Cup, on loan for a season. Origi rewarded them with eight goals in 33 appearances and a run of 20 games without a goal, culminating in French newspaper L'Equipe naming him in their worst team of the season in 2015. A hat-trick in an EFL Cup game, a goal against Klopp Bravvion Roy Jerseys 's former side Dortmund in the Champions League and his first strikes in the Premier League were among Origi's highlights during a 2015-16 season curtailed by an injury sustained against arch-rivals Everton. MORE: Eleven goals in 43 games followed during the 2016-17 season before Origi spent the subsequent campaign at Wolfsburg, scoring six times. What makes Divock Origi a cult figure? By that point in his career, Origi had established his potential while giving supporters little expectation of the blockbuster drama that was to come. Scoring your first goal of the season in December is not usually a good sign for strikers in England. Origi, though, scored a goal that would be top of the list for any player with designs on endearing themselves to Liverpool fans. After replacing Roberto Firmino as a late substitute in the bitterly-contested Merseyside derby against Everton, Origi scored the only goal of the game in the 96th minute. Lift-off for the enigma. It's four years since Divock Origi made his debut vs Spurs in the final vs Barcelona in the semi-final vs Everton after 96 minutes The icon of a generation Liverpool.com (@Liverpoolcom_) Origi seemed determined to solely score goals that would write his name into folklore. One was a vital effort against Newcastle in a razor-tight title race, and two came on one of the most memorable nights Anfield has ever seen. Starting their Champions League semifinal second leg 3-0 down against Alex Erickson Jerseys a visiting Barcelona side containing the likes of Lionel Me si and Luis Suarez, Liverpool's chances of reaching the final could have charitably been described as slim before kick-off. When Origi scored in the seventh minute, Liverpool had hope. Georginio Wijnaldum found the net twice in three second-half minutes to draw them level in front of a scarcely believing stadium, and Origi's 79th-minute clincher guaranteed bedlam. The final contained another iconic Origi goal, arrowing in a clinical late finish to put the glo s on Liverpool's 2-0 win over Tottenham as they won the Champions League with something to spare. It also earned Origi a new contract until 2022. "Corner taken quickly... Origi!"Was this moment the beginning of the end for Valverde at Barcelona? GOAL (@goal) In Liverpool's 2019-20 title-winning season, Origi's bicycle kick against Arsenal in the EFL Cup and a brace against Everton as part of a long winning spree cemented Origi's position. Fans had also spotted how little Origi Corn Elder Jerseys often contributed aside from goals that were reliably spectacular in their timing or execution. His tendency to look laconic to the point of indifference only added to his air of unpredictability. Liverpool's model of dependability, James Milner, warmly described how his team-mate was always smiling and appeared to be on Ameer Abdullah Jerseys 'Planet Origi'. The big goals returned in 2021-22, including an audacious heel flick to score at Preston in the EFL Cup, a last-gasp Premier League winner at Molineux and Origi's first Champions League goal since that 2019 final, sealing a 2-1 win at AC Milan to cap a perfect group stage for his side. Is Divock Origi leaving Liverpool? Liverpool confirmed before their final Premier League game of the 2021-22 season that Origi would be leaving the club. Owner John W Henry made a presentation to Origi on the pitch at Anfield, where he was serenaded by supporters despite being denied a playing swansong. A muscle injury kept Origi out as Liverpool won but narrowly failed to beat Manchester City to the league title, and it is not hard to imagine him signing off with a goal, had he been able to play. On June 9, Liverpool officially announced Origi's departure, along withLoris Karius,Sheyi OjoandBen Woodburn, as their retained list of players for the upcoming season was made public. How Robby Anderson Jerseys many goals did Divock Origi score for Liverpool? In all, Origi scored a respectable 41 goals in 175 appearances for Liverpool, making it no surprise that clubs including Milan have been linked with him. As well as the Champions League, Origi won theUEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup in 2019, and the FA Cup and EFL Cup in 2022. Everton fans will be glad to see the back of Origi. He scored his final goal for Liverpool in a 2-0 win over the Toffees at Anfield in April 2022. MORE: What else has Jurgen Klopp said about Divock Origi? Fans may have mixed feelings about Origi's all-round talent, but Klopp is unequivocal in his admiration for the super substitute. "For me, he will always be a Liverpool legend and it has been a joy to work with him," said Klopp, speaking when news of Origi's release materialised. "He's one of the most important players I ever had. Wherever he will go, he will be succe sful 100 per cent." Related Articles

Remove the shackles and get him in positions where he can go at players one versus one, or has the freedom to run in behind and ask questions of the opposition defence that way. We know already that Ja'Whaun Bentley Jerseys he gets on well with Romelu Lukaku, so why not try and get them nearer to one another on the pitch too, and see how that works. Footballers are commodities and its a very different game to when I played. But somehow, Mourinho has to get Pogba playing in a way that makes the team better, and in the end, I think he will.

SAN ANTONIO The stage was set for Giovani dos Santos. He walked onto the field at the Alamodome wearing the captain's armband. Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio had praised him the day before, saying that the LA Galaxy attacker Minnesota Vikings Accessories Dos Santos himself pointed out that "I dont think anybody has their place safe in the national team in the world of football," and knew a strong showing Wednesday would go a long way toward making sure he's on the plane to Ru sia. In Wednesday's 1-0 Mexico win over Bosnia & Herzegovina, though, Dos Santos was average in the first half and El Tri improved after he was taken off at halftime.Once again, it's up for debate whether or not the national team is better off with him as part of the World Cup squad. Osorio is only the latest manager to try and figure out exactly what to do with Gio. He absolutely is talented. He can do what he wants on the ball, whether it's beating a defender one-on-one or finding a nice pa s for a teammate. Yet, he's Trishton Jackson Jerseys not a No. 10, not a winger and not an out-and-out forward. Osorio has given Dos Santos a freewheeling role in previous friendly matches but this time wanted to try something different. After putting a starting lineup on the field that on paper looked as though it would have Gio sticking in the center, Dos Santos instead pushed out on the wing with Elias Hernandez dropping back behind him. It was one of a couple of experimentsOsoriosaid he wanted to try. It didn't work. However, Osorio said after the match he didn't give Dos Santos the hook because of poor performance. "About Giovani, I totally Tyler Conklin Jerseys disagree with you," the manager said in his post-match news conference."I think he keeps showing that hes a player capable of being on the the ball, can go from the outside and to the interiorand speaking with him these are two positions where he feels comfortable. "Today we decided to play him as a winger on his natural side behind a single forward. I think he looked well when he played inverted. I think hes definitely a player who, from what weve seen, is going to keep preparing himself in the best way and hes going to be in top condition to fight for a place against anybody." Theexperientialformation may be to blame for Mexico's lack ofinspirationin the first half of the friendly, but some of the blame also will fall on Dos Santos himself. The formation looked to be set up for Dos Santos to use his talents against a Bosnia Minnesota Vikings Sleepwear Underwear team considerably below the standard El Tri will see at the World Cup. It also could've been a way forOsorioto see ifGiocould provide him something that Europe-based players likeHirvingLozano and Jesus "Tecatito" Corona can't. Judged on Wednesday's showing,and previous recent performances in green for Dos Santos, the answer is no. At the start of the week, it felt like the "Could Gio mi s the World Cup Camryn Bynum Jerseys ?" talk was overblown. Osorio is outwardly happy with how Dos Santos trained in the MLS offseason, keeping himself in good shape and following theplan prepared by Osorio and his staff. Osorio had enough faith in Dos Santos to give him the armband, something it's easy to read too much into but is neverthele sa signal a manager hasconfidence in a player. And the manager seemed happy enough with his showing Wednesday. Yet those questions still stand. There are only 20 places on the roster for field players, and questions about whether Dos Santos provides significantly more than anyone based in Europe or even a player like Javier Aquino, who came on at the break and put in a better showing, are legitimate. Dos Santos will get another Parry Nickerson Jerseys chance from Osorio. He's earned that much based on his reputation, if from not his play on the field against Bosnia. Maybe then he'll be in a more familiar setup and be able to excel. If not, his place in Ru sia will be far from certain. "In the end, its very clear that the coach makes the decision and us as profe sionals have to do as well as po sible on the field," Dos Santos said Tuesday. The next day he delivered a performance that left Mexico fans wanting so much more.

Michael Owen famously mi sed out on the chance to play for in a Champions League final. While Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Co were dancing around the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, their friend and former team-mate was at home, reflecting on what might have been. The year of 2005 was a golden one for the Reds, but not for one of their best-ever goalscorers. "You should be here,"came the text that night Karl Joseph Jerseys . But he wasn't. Owen had walked away from Anfield in search of glory with Real Madrid during the summer of 2004. His timing could hardly have been worse. Rafa Benitezs first season on Merseyside was testing, butdestined for glory andLiverpool were to lift their fifth European Cup in the most remarkable of circumstances. They were to make themselves legends. The memories will last a lifetime. On Saturday, Owens former clubs will collide in Kiev. He will be there this time, albeit as a BT Sport pundit rather than a player. He was 33 when he retired; its fair to say his career went only one way after leaving Liverpool. I thought I could do what Ian Rush did, he tells Goalin an exclusive pre-match interview. I thought I could go over to Spain, see what was what, and then after a year I could come back to Liverpool and carry on doing what I had been doing. Unfortunately, it didnt work out like that. I wish it had, of course, but you dont always get what you want. Owen played almost 300 times for Liverpool, far more than he did any other club. He played seven full seasons at Anfield, and was their leading goalscorer in all seven. He does, however, share an uneasy relationship with the clubs supporters. He was booed the first time he returned, with Newcastle United, and did little to help matters by joining Manchester United some years later. To many, he remains a pantomime villain. "Where were you in Istanbul?" is a familiar jibe. His affection for the Reds, though, remains. They will always be his club, he Pittsburgh Steelers Accessories says. He does, however, speak fondly of Real, with whom he spent only one season. Its a monster of a club, he says. Everything about that club screams history and tradition the stadium, the players, the kit, the supporters. Its one of the games true iconic clubs, known the world over. I know people talk about me leaving Liverpool and what happened after that, but I just had to go over there and experience it at Real Madrid. If I hadnt, Id have regretted it for the rest of my Troy Polamalu Jerseys life. The way I see it, there are only a handful of clubs in world football that you can put on a pedestal, that you can feel the aura of as soon as you walk in. Real Madrid are one, Liverpool are another. Those shirts carry weight, you can feel the history. It's there, every single day, every single game. I felt it at both. I'm so proud to have played for both." That was then, though. This is now. Now, Liverpool are the underdogs and Real the favourites. Zinedine Zidanes side are going for a third Champions League win in a row, Jurgen Klopp is looking to end his losing run in finals. Its Cristiano Ronaldo vs Mohamed Salah, the battle of the goal machines. Mouth-watering. I cannot wait, trust me! Owen says. Its probably not the ideal thing for a pundit to say, but for me its a spin of a coin as to who wins. The way I see it, its such a contrast of styles that I think one has to prevail over the other. I cant imagine a tight, cagey game where the teams cancel each other out. I think Pittsburgh Steelers Hoodies Sweatshirts one will blow the other away, and I think well see pretty early who that will be.   Who do I think itll be? I dont know! I think Liverpool have a really good chance though. Theyre a different type of team to Real. Theyre younger, maybe more nave, maybe more hungry. Real are the masters of performing on the big stage you only need to look at the amount of medals their players have won. Never mind Ronaldo, what about Ramos? Or Modric? Marcelo? Benzema? Kroos? These are all serial winners who know exactly what it takes to get the job done, and its a big task facing Liverpool. But I believe Liverpool have shown they are as good as any team around in a one-off game against one of the big boys. Look at the way they went at Manchester City, they dont fear anybody and they have the game to take it to anyone. That, for me, makes it a fascinating clash. Like everyone else, Owen has been left to marvel at the feats of Salah, in particular. Owens reputation was that of a prolific, natural goalscorer, yet his best ever scoring season brought only 28. Salah has 44 already this term. A hat-trick in Kiev would equal Ian Rushs club record. I wouldnt say Im surprised that hes been such a good signing, Owen says. We knew he had quality and talent. Whats surprised me is the consistency, that hes managed to sustain his form over the whole season. You remember after about 20 games and his goal ratio was decent, and you almost expect a dry spell or a dip, because hes a player coming into a new league. But hes just gone on and on and on, if anything hes got better as the seasons gone on. Thats Mark Gilbert Jerseys been so impre sive. I think he had a point to prove after what happened at Chelsea. But you know when you look at his numbers at Roma, they were pretty impre sive. Hes just kicked on another level since coming to Liverpool.   We knew he had pace and that he could run in behind, but what has impre sed me is the way he can use his body to protect the ball. He bounces defenders off him and thats enabled him to get into more and more scoring positions. Hes not a typical winger, hes got an all-round game to him. The question now, it seems, is can he sustain the form?Owen knows what its like to take a league by storm with Liverpool. Is he backing Salah to maintain his excellence? Why not? he says. He just has to keep doing what he has been. I shared the Golden Plaxico Burress Jerseys Boot in my first season in the Premier League as an 18-year-old, and people wondered whether Id have to adapt because defenders get wary. But I won the Golden Boot the next season as a 19-year-old. When you have that form and that confidence, you just ride the wave. Look, this is the age of information. Every team, every player has all the data on Salah, they have all the stats and the clips and they have all come up with their own plans to stop him. Theyve doubled up on him, theyve dropped off him, theyve got tight, theyve man marked him and tried to show him onto his right foot. And whats happened? Hes scored 44 goals! Hes here to stay, Im convinced of that. Hell be at Liverpool next season and scoring goals. He might not get to 40-plus next season, b

Kevin Byard Jerseys James Rodriguez has said that Sven Ulreich should not be blamed for following his costly error. Bayern played out an entertaining 2-2 draw away to two-time reigning champions Madrid, who reached the final 4-3 on aggregate a result highlighted by Ulreich's goalkeeping howler. Ulreich gifted Karim Benzema who cancelled out Joshua Kimmich's early opener within eight minutes his second goal of the night after misjudging a back-pa s from Corentin Toli so just 21 seconds Anthony Rush Jerseys into the second half at the Santiago Bernabeu. James on a two-year loan deal from Madrid equalised after the hour-mark but Bayern were unable to overhaul the Spanish giants, though the Colombia international was unwilling to point the finger at Ulreich. "You don't have to blame the goalkeeper, he has saved us A J Brown T Shirts a lot. We have made costly errors in the first leg as well as here," James said via AS. "I think we had a good game, this time it didn't come off. If Madrid went through it's because they did good things. "We have to be calm and think about the German Cup final." Bayern controlled proceedings in the Spanish capital, however, the visitors could not make their dominance count on the scoreboard. It marked Bayern's fourth semi-final exit in five seasons, having lifted the Champions League trophy in 2013. This one will take some getting over. But we'll be back. FC Bayern English (@FCBayernEN) Bayern forward Thomas Muller Nick Dzubnar Jerseys told Zdf: "We played better than in Munich but we gave them a goal again. And you can't afford to do that over the two games. "It was a crazy game and we invested everything into it. But in the end we were a little unlucky. Larrell Murchison Jerseys Their goalkeeper Keylor Navas had a great game. "Luck and misfortune are closely intertwined. This hurts a great deal, but we shouldn't be ashamed."   "A lot more was po sible," Muller added. "We had a super chance to progre s but we mi sed out again. "We Julio Jones Jerseys have so much quality in our squad, but we have to ask ourselves why we have mi sed out a lot, why we keep making these mistakes in the semi-finals." Related Articles

Cristiano Ronaldo and his Juventus team-mates will have to forego the traditional Christmas Joe Montana Hoodies Sweatshirts feasting this year, as coach Ma similiano Allegri looks to finish 2018 with a bang on the pitch. Juve have been in imperious form ever since the new season kicked off, winning 12 and drawing one of their first 13 Serie A games to race to the top of the table in Italy. In the Champions League too, the Bianconeri qualified with ease for the last 16 with a game to spare, winning four games Chris Slayton Jerseys out of five so far with just a solitary defeat at the hands of Manchester United. Allegri is neverthele s keen to make sure his team keep up that wonderful run of form, and he is especially wary about a trip to Atalanta on December 26, one day after Christmas. The thing thats a bit strange is that we George Kittle Hoodies Sweatshirts ll go to Bergamo on December 25," the coach explained to reporters on Friday. "Well be training on the 24th and 25th, so well try to eat as littlepandoro (sweetened bread, a traditional Italian Christmas treat) as po sible. Not least because its cold in Bergamo on December 26 and we risk stuffing ourselves. If we eat too much we risk being bloated so well try to avoid it, Nick Mullens Jerseys for the sake our our health. But before we get there we need to sort things out withInter, Fiorentina, and thenTorino, which is the derby and always complicated. Despite enjoying an eight-point advantage over Napoli at the summit, moreover, Allegri will not relax until a potential eighth succe sive Scudetto for Juve is a sured. Scudetti are won in May, the Champions League in June. We need to keep going with balance, without getting carried away by these results, so we can arrive in March in the best physical and, above all, mental condition," he added. We Arik Armstead Jerseys knowNapoliand Inter are always there, because we still need to play Inter twice and Napoli once. Theres a big difference between three points and one point, and its in those moments you can throw away a lead. We work, and were aware that tomorrow is an important round because we, Napoli and Inter are playing difficult games. Then the next one will be important too, because to win the league you need a certain number San Francisco 49Ers Accessories of wins. Our objective is to be top of the table on December 29, hopefully with a big points advantage.
