To use another relevant point of comparison, Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo - the only man who can hold a torch to Messi's goalscoring numbers this century - had scored 11 times in the league before he left his teens on 5 February 2005. When you combine Sancho's tally of goals and assists as a teenager, not only is he ahead of the competition in Germany, he is miles in front of any other young attacking player in Europe.

Real Madrid would save themselves the £35m plus they would have to pay him in wages for the remainder of his contract and Zidane would get what he wanted, namely Gareth Bale out of the Bernabeu.

But she has raised her game and dealt with it. She gives Chelsea that X-factor. She scores different types of goals too and has grown. That's why I am putting her ahead of Miedema.

Robyn Cowen (BBC Match of the Day and Radio 5 Live commentator) - Bethany England (5) Chelsea were named winners of the Women's Super League title on a points-per-game ratioWith England, it's all about her consistency.

Chris Wilder's visitors had created little up to that stage, but held on to their advantage for a hard-fought victory. The hosts dominated possession but rarely tested United goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who did well to palm James McArthur's powerful effort to safety not long after the opener. James Tomkins was inches away from connecting with McArthur's in-swinging delivery as Palace pushed for an equaliser, but John Fleck and Enda Stevens could have doubled United's lead on the counter-attack.

I see an open game of football here as Isloch is really open type of team and they have scored in all their home games so far where they have a record of 5-0-2 so far this season, while away from home they have lost all the games played by them so far not really great away side but at home have scored in all their games but usually do concede a goal or more as well and yesterday the reserves met and Rukh Brest had the better of the first half going at half-time with a 1-0 lead, but lost the game with 4-1 in the end due to poor defending.
Behind closed doors [matches] would be a big challenge for the semi-professional game and it will be interesting to see what announcements NIFL will make on that issue. Clubs at our level do depend heavily for revenue on gate receipts from fans coming through the door. It is clearly something that will need to be addressed as time goes on. A number of junior leagues, including the Mid-Ulster League and the Ballymena Provincial League, made the decision last week to end their seasons and award positions on a points-per-game basis.
Joelinton scored only his second Premier League goal and first since 25 August as Newcastle swept aside 10-man Sheffield United to take a huge step towards safety.

Otherwise, we will have the same situation next year. Klopp also defended his decision to stay away from the tie and let under-23s boss Neil Critchley take charge. Critchley managed a youthful Liverpool side in their League Cup defeat by Aston Villa when the first-team squad were in Qatar for the Club World Cup. Could I be here for the game? Of course, I could," said Klopp. But that again is a complete misunderstanding of management and coaching.
The months that followed saw her endure a "a bit of an identity crisis", work in a supermarket warehouse and almost join Real Madrid, before she ultimately decided to find a completely fresh challenge. It was like all the signs were pushing me away from football," the former Everton youngster told BBC Sport. Last summer was such a mad time. It was the first bit of adversity, apart from doing my ACL, that I'd properly faced, and it scared me a little bit that, without football, I had absolutely nothing.
tonight will be playing match between teams Tottenham and Olympiakos Piraeus. my prediction for this match is away team not to lose with more than 1 goal difference. 1st match in Greece have finished with draw result 2:2 but Olympiakos played much better than Tottenham and they deserved to win there but they hadn't enough luck. now, Tottenham will have home ground advantage and they have new coach- Mourinho, but I think they will concede goal here and maybe will win here 2:1 or 3:2, but also I think that away team have good chances to take 1 point here. good luck.

Lawro's prediction: 1-2Simon's prediction: I don't see Norwich having any way out now but a draw would at least give them something to smile about. Leicester v Crystal Palace (15:00 BST)Leicester have really suffered from the break in the Premier League season because they still look short of their usual sharpness, even after four games back.

Breda is sitting on 6th place at this moment and they are 10 points away from a direct promotion place so of course given the fact that they face one of the worst clubs in the second league level in Holland, Oss, who really do not trouble to do more in such games but to defend from start to finish and hope they do not lose that much while their counters rarely produce goals for them, but I am being cautious could be just a one goal win for the hosts so no need to be risking money.

Despite a moderate league position, Shrewsbury are a very tough team to face. They rarely dazzle, while they don't score an abundance of goals, but they keep themselves in games and rarely give lots away. At home, the Shrews have won three of their last five at home, beating good sides such as Sunderland, Peterborough and Coventry.

But these were rare moments of attacking flair in an encounter that will be quickly forgotten if the returning first team can return to winning ways in the league in nine days' time.
