We have to publicly recognise that we have a serious problem with racism," it added. It’s a problem that we have not done enough to combat over the years. In the most high-profile incidents this season, Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku and Brescia striker Mario Balotelli were both subject to racist abuse from spectators during matches at Cagliari and Verona respectively.
Kevin de Bruyne is one of those players. Once he converted the spot-kick against Newcastle the cup tie was only heading in one direction. The same was true against Liverpool. The champions simply couldn't cope with De Bruyne's artistry. I have probably picked De Bruyne in my team of the week more than any other Premier League player. That's because he is the best player in the country. However, my Footballer of the Year goes to a very different player.
Aston Villa may have lost at Bournemouth, but their new signing scored on his Premier League debut - and created a little bit of history too. Mbwana Samatta's 70th-minute header made him the first player from Tanzania to score a goal in the Premier League. Who knows when someone else will join him? For now, he stands alongside 17 others as the only players from their respective nations to have found the net in the Premier League.
Mr Wing translated for him. He came on tour with us when he went to Asia that year. And now we wait to see who’s going to finally pin down that feature interview with Mr Wing. COMING UP Pretty thin pickings today, unless you particularly fancy trying to find a way to watch the early stages of the Copa del Rey.
For the first time all night Barcelona are on the ropes! Carvajal plays a clipped pass through for Benzema who had peeled away from his marker, but he puts his volley over the bar! Barca are on the ropes. Almost an immediate impact! Braithwaite very nearly finds the back of the net with his first touch! He was released in behind the Real Madrid defence, he chipped a shot over Courtois, but Varane was back on the line to make the clearance! 71’ GOAL! Real Madrid 1-0 Barcelona: At long last the deadlock has been broken and it's Vinicius! Kroos played the pass in behind for the Brazilian winger and his shot deflected off Pique, wrong-footed Ter Stegen and found the back of the Barcelona net at the near post! 92’ GOAL! Real Madrid 2-0 Barcelona: What an impact! Mariano has only been on the pitch for a matter of seconds and he has found the back of the net! The striker who has barely featured for Real Madrid this season drives into the box and beats Ter Stegen at his near post to secure the win.
Things are becoming a little desperate at Adelaide in recent weeks with four losses in their last four games and their lack of form has led to them dropping out of the finals series places. They had still been scoring in their games despite their poor form but they drew a blank last weekend in a 3-0 loss to Perth and things need to change quickly.
Although he has fared better in the FA Cup with two goals in three games, those came against lower league opposition in Rochdale and Oxford. The main issue Newcastle have with Joelinton is the fact he is a player who has been brought in to lead the line, but actually finds himself doing more work outside the box than in it. Newcastle have scored just 24 times in the Premier League, with only Crystal Palace netting fewer.

Players like Chris Basham, John Lundstram and John Fleck, all of whom have now made my team of the week at some stage, are clearly the reasons why. Apart from the fact the Blades are very difficult to beat and wear you down, like any decent puncher they can deliver a knockout blow. Their approach is proving to be simple but very effective. They are making the Premier League look ordinary. Did you know? Fleck has scored four goals in his last four league games at Bramall Lane, one more than he managed in his previous 73 in the league on home soil.
When we play the game we'll be able to see it," the Canada international told BBC Sport. We will see during the game. We've only played against each other. Essentially 11 v 11 games in training. Saarbrucken's website has a second-by-second countdown to the German Cup semi-finalSaarbrucken's run to the cup semis has been littered with extraordinary moments - two last-minute winners in 3-2 victories, both set up by Froese, followed by two penalty shootout wins.
More to follow. Mainz boosted their hopes of avoiding relegation from the Bundesliga and capped a miserable week for Borussia Dortmund with a surprise victory. Two goals, one either side of half-time, gave the visitors their win, with Jonathan Burkardt scoring the first before a Jean-Philippe Mateta penalty. The win moves Mainz five points above 16th-placed Fortuna Dusseldorf with just two games left to play.
The two English sides will meet in the semi-final if they win through. City - trying to win the competition for the first time - are joint-favourites with German champions Bayern. Atletico Madrid, who eliminated defending European champions and new Premier League winners Liverpool, will face Germany's RB Leipzig in the quarter-finals. Italian side Atalanta - winners of their past 11 games in all competitions - take on French champions Paris St-Germain, who have not played since 11 March after their domestic season was abandoned.
Football match from the Saudi Arabia league and we have Abha playing host to Al Adalh. This is a match where I feel the host team will win. Host team Abha can be unpredictable most times but this match they should win comfortably. They have a decent home record and I don't think they can afford to lose 6 matches in a row.
Women's Euro 2021 date in doubt Due to the announcement of the men's competition being delayed a year, there is now question on when the Women's European Championship 2021 will take place. There is the suggestion that this competition will also be delayed a year and the four-year competition cycles will continue, but there is no confirmation on this from UEFA just set and a decision is set to be taken in the summer.
Former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright says "these messages still hit me so hard" as he detailed racist abuse he has suffered on social media. Wright, 56, tweeted a series of screengrabs of offensive messages he received from "a child" on Instagram. My energy is positive but I couldn't turn the other cheek," said Wright. You do this in public and he'd be sat in jail!!! We tired. This kid can find me and there's nothing stopping him from sending me [abusive messages].

The football industry in Germany currently employs around 56,000 people.

Inter coach Rafael Benitez tried employing reinforcements to stop Bale - but they all went the same way as Maicon. White Hart Lane's old press box offered a close up view of events. It was the perfect vantage point to see Bale flying down the wing like a tornado. He was accompanied by deafening roars every time he received the ball, making goals for Peter Crouch and Roman Pavlyuchenko. At the final whistle Portuguese legend Luis Figo, on Inter's staff, went across to Harry Redknapp and mouthed: "Bale is just amazing.
I see no reason why not to believe this shall be a high scoring win for the guests as after the restart they played away from home at Mainz and had the lead 3-0 from half-time of the game and scored two more goals in the second half winning with 5-0 in the end and before the break they also won with same score 5-0 away from home at Schalke, and Koln is quite soft in defense with 52 goals conceded in the league alone this season but really not that bad attacking with 44 goals scored by them while after the restart all 3 games of theirs went with over 3.5 goals drawing 2-2 at home with both Mainz and Dusseldorf who are fighting against relegation and losing 3-1 away at Hoffenheim.
