Sweden international Forsberg scored an 89th minute penalty and then headed in another in stoppage time to send the Germans through with a game to spare and end Benfica's Champions League hopes for this season. Goals from Pizzi and Carlos Vinicius had put the visitors ahead before Forsberg's brace completed the hosts' late turnaround.
In the early days double winners would automatically be given the Super Cup, but in recent years the cup runners-up would play the champions. Last year still saw the winners of league and cup meet before the start of the season, but over one leg in Tangier, Morocco. Barcelona won the double so they met beaten Copa del Rey finalists Sevilla - and won 2-1 thanks to goals from Gerard Pique and Ousmane Dembele.
MAN OF THE MATCH Maxi Gomez (Valencia): There were a number of standout performers for Valencia with Geoffrey Kondogbia particularly impressive in midfield. However, it was Gomez who made the difference for the home side in the second half, making amends for having a penalty saved in the first half. The Uruguayan’s finish for the second goal was especially eye-catching, calmly guiding a finish past ter Stegen.
We feel obliged to win this competition and we want to win every single match," added Valverde. We're thrilled because Inter are a really demanding rival.

I’ll see you in Italy soon. VAR 'a mess' says UEFA president UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has labelled VAR “a mess” but concedes there is no way to reverse the decision to use video technology. If you have a long nose, you are in an offside position these days. Read the full story here 10:05 - Jose's return Jose Mourinho's two-year stint at Manchester United was not always a happy one but the Portuguese harbours no bitterness at the club and says he is now a better manager as he prepares to return with Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.

The move comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States. Iran tensions: Iran faces watershed momentThe Iranian football federation said it would announce a "final position" in the "following days". Iran has four teams - Persepolis, Esteghlal, Sepahan and Shahr Khodro - in the AFC Champions League, and they are expected to be consulted on Saturday. Before the meeting, Persepolis chief executive Mohammad Hassan Ansarifard told the Mehr news agency the club will "certainly not participate" in the new Champions League season "if they insist on their decision".
We will be in 90 minutes before kick-off and out 60 minutes after the final whistle - but it will be a joy to be back and a privilege for those of us who are granted entry as the chosen few. If cynicism existed - and of course it did - our encounter with the real world, the important things, will have removed so much of it. Supporters will, for now, be watching from their living rooms but old passions will re-surface instantly, even though the roar of the crowd might be replaced by the new artificial TV soundtrack used in an attempt to enhance the atmosphere and the watching experience.
The matches to be played without fans in attendance are Udinese-Fiorentina on Saturday and the AC Milan-Genoa, Juve-Inter, Parma-SPAL, Sassuolo-Brescia matches on Sunday plus Sampdoria-Verona on Monday.

Moshiri will want to avoid a repeat at all costs, so Silva stays in his job amid a swirl of speculation, left hanging out to dry as the public symbol of a rudderless club deep in trouble. The current mess Everton find themselves in has to be placed mainly at Moshiri's door as he effectively made Silva a pet project after Koeman's sacking, even to the extent of provoking acrimony with Watford following an unwanted approach when he was in charge at Vicarage Road.
I was very tired after experiencing the first symptoms of the virus,” he told the paper. A fever, dry cough and a headache that never went away. It was just that constant feeling of tiredness. The most difficult moment was when I could no longer breathe, the 25 minutes I ran out of oxygen. It was the worst moment of my life.
Because of former League One side Bury's expulsion, only the bottom side was due to be relegated to the National League - but the situation is complicated by an ongoing misconduct charge against Macclesfield Town. They have already been deducted 11 points but a further deduction could move them below bottom club Stevenage into the relegation place. In a statement, the EFL said "due to ongoing disciplinary matters, the final placings cannot yet be confirmed".
The cultural importance of Barcelona and Koeman’s history with the team means he will almost certainly leave if he is given the opportunity. Whether his work with Southampton and the Dutch team means he deserves a chance, is another matter. Read the full story Moyes wants long term deal The Sun believes that David Moyes has a set of demands to be met if he is to return as the Everton manager.
It was not long ago that you could say the same about Villa, who went on an identical run at the start of October, but they have lost their past three league games. Villa have not really recovered from losing so late on against Liverpool, and the past few weeks have been a bit of reality check for them. That is what life is like for a promoted team, with as many downs as ups, but I think Villa will be smiling again on Monday night.
We can see the visitors breaking the deadlock in this close clash, as Roma have found the net in each of their last 10 away games in Serie A against Verona. The visitors do have an impressive record in trips like this, which should lead them to another victory. Roma have won their last 19 Serie A games against newly-promoted sides: the longest ever such streak in the Italian top-flight. With Verona losing 1-0 in each of their home defeats this term, a 1-0 away win is our correct score pick here.
He has 10 assists so far - just eight shy of the total he managed in the whole of his excellent 2017-18 campaign. That also puts him halfway down the road to equalling Thierry Henry's single-season record in the Premier League of 20 assists. If you compare De Bruyne to the best-performing players in Europe's top leagues, while his goal return total lets him down slightly, his assists tally is the best in the continent - with only Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho anywhere close to him on eight.

PENALTY! Lo Celso made the first good pass all day in the Burnley half and Lamela is fouled by a desperate and unnecessary foul by Mee. NO PENALTY! The crowd and Burnley players are up in arms at Davinson Sanchez not being penalised for charging through Wood (and missing the ball), just inside the area.
Austria Vienna and Admira will face each other in the upcoming match in the Austrian Bundesliga, relegation group. Austria Vienna this season have the following results: 5W, 10D and 7L. Meanwhile Admira have 4W, 7D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Well another match where I see a very good value for sure. Both of the teams still have a chance to get to that 2nd place that guarantees promotion and currently is held by Sakhnin with 57 points. Right behind them are Hapoel Rishon LeZion with same amount of points but also and Hapoel Katamon still have some chances with 51 points but if they win today of course. However I don't think that they will be able to do that not with the current form and with the performances they are currently showing. But still surprises can happen and this two teams are not much different in term of quality.
In terms of a correct score tip, although we expect the visitors to claim the win, we do not think there will be a lot between the sides. The hosts may not have scored more than once in their last 14 league games, but they have scored in each of their last five. Meanwhile, the visitors have scored in 77% of their away matches and should have enough to come out on top. All in all, we think a 2-1 away win will be the final result.
Today, football and football matches really aren’t important at all. Of course, we don’t want to play in front of an empty stadium and we don’t want games or competitions suspended, but if doing so helps one individual stay healthy - just one - we do it no questions asked. If it’s a choice between football and the good of the wider society, it’s no contest.
Albion's fourth victory in their past five games also handed them their first league double over City, having run out 4-1 winners when the sides met at The Hawthorns in November. And although their lead at the top remains four points after Leeds beat Reading 1-0, the weekend's draws for promotion rivals Fulham, Brentford and Nottingham Forest strengthens their position at the top of the table with 12 games remaining.
Carlo Ancelotti and Mikel Arteta had mixed starts as they took charge of Everton and Arsenal for the first time in the Premier League. Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goal was enough to get the Italian's managerial reign up and running with a win at Goodison Park, as Everton claimed a gritty 1-0 victory over Burnley. Spaniard Arteta saw his Arsenal side recover to take a point at Bournemouth after Dan Gosling's first-half goal had put the hosts in front.

I draw could be on the cards here considering these kind of odds but I see value in the away side. Hapoel Kfar Saba is having a bad form and Bnei Yehuda has been winning this tie on head to head. winning their last 4 away matches in this time. they also beat Maccabi Netanya in their recent away match 3-0 whereas Hapoel Kfar Saba lost their most recent match to the same opponent Maccabi Netanya. this should be an easy win for the away side because Hapoel Kfar Saba plays poorly when they are at home. Bnei Yehuda is a very good team away from home.
Portuguese midfielder Moutinho created the second with a quick free kick to release Adama Traore, whose low cross was stroked home by Raul Jimenez for his 14th goal of the season in all competitions.
