He's a player for Barcelona, he will stay there, that is my wish," Guardiola, who managed Messi from 2008-2012, told reporters ahead of Sunday's Premier League match against West Ham United. I'm not going to talk about players for another club. I think he's going to finish his career there, it's my wish.
The spartan, light-coloured gravestone looks like any other in Fayid War Cemetery. Just one of hundreds arranged into formal, regimented rows on an incongruous patch of land on the western shore of Egypt's Great Bitter Lake. There, at the mid point of the Suez Canal, lie men who died after serving in World War Two. Men such as Major AS Jackson. The conflict was over by the time Jackson was killed on 15 November 1946.

He was basically signed to help take the workload off Luis Suarez - however Barca barely used him. He played four times in total - Barca winning only one of those. Boateng is now at his seventh club in just over four years - on loan at Besiktas from Fiorentina. The players who went 'the other way' Media playback is not supported on this device The day Socrates played for GarforthWhile some big clubs sign less glamorous players, it can happen the other way round too.
A source in Berlin we talked to also confirmed that there were two parties in Berlin: Klinsmann and investor Lars Windhorst on the one side - visionaries who wanted to build a "big city club" which should compete with FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund - and Preetz and Gegenbauer on the other, who have a long history in the club, know how things are going in the business, and were slowing the big plans down a little bit.
Aston Villa have completed a £10m deal for Genk striker Mbwana Samatta. The 27-year-old Tanzania international has signed a four-and-half-year deal, subject to a work permit and international clearance being granted. He has scored 10 goals for Genk in all competitions this season including a goal at Anfield against Liverpool in the Champions League.

Genclerbirligi takes on home against Yeni Malatyaspor in the 13th round in the best Turkish league, Super Lig. Genclerbirligi is in 13th place in the league with 13 points in 12 matches while Yeni Malatyaspor is in 6th place with 19 points. Genclerbirligi has looked bad at home this season with just one home win in 6 games. This win was over last place in the league, Kayserispor. Yeni Malatyaspor have lost just 2 of their 6 away games this season. The home team has won their last 2 matches but both matches against two of the worst teams in the league and both only wins with a single goal. The away team will be in good form with 5 games without defeat in a row while the last 3 games have ended in a draw. The two teams met in March 2018 where Yeni Malatyaspor on home soil won 4-1. I expect a draw here.
Allegri seemed to fit the bill perfectly and his teams were pragmatic, versatile and resilient and intent on getting the job done quickly. But, after a relentless five years of Allegri, Juventus decided they needed more flamboyance and turned to Sarri who likes his teams to weave intricate, passing patterns at high speed through opposing defences.
Real Betis have only won one of their last six matches in La Liga. Barcelona have only kept two clean sheets from their last five matches in all competitions.

Galatasaray are one of the form teams in the league at the minute, winning five games on the trot.
She added: "It's a testament to the standard of the league. I can't wait to watch her first game. I think that's how everyone should be. The excitement for the squad is that Chelsea are willing to invest in a superstar. Hayes is obviously trying to make a statement but she wants to win things so you have to get the best players to do that. Scotland international Erin Cuthbert said she was "really relishing the opportunity" to play alongside the new arrival at club level, while ex-Chelsea forward Eniola Aluko added that the potential rivalry between Kerr and Arsenal forward Vivianne Miedema - last season's PFA Player of the Year - is a "cause for excitement".
They lost goalkeeper Tom Heaton and striker Wesley to serious knee injuries in the same game back in January, with both being ruled out for the season. At the time Heaton was ruled out of going to the then-planned Euro 2020 with England, so presumably he will not be fit until August at the very earliest, while Wesley is now back jogging. However, Villa removed both from their 25-man squad at the end of the January transfer window so they would not be able to play at all as it stands.

Solskjaer said United's young strikers can learn how to deal with defenders from the robust Ighalo, who will remain with the club until the end of the season. Sometimes our young boys, they are not used to that from the academy. They are used to, 'you're not allowed to tackle me' almost. So, of course, I would like them to look at him and learn a couple of things," Solskjaer said.
TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Is this Arsenal’s biggest game of the season? This, as you will already know, has been a weird Premier League season, in which one absolute colossus stands astride of the rest, laughing heartily at their puny efforts, while the remaining 19 clubs scrabble around for something approaching basic competence.

A shock domestic 2-0 home defeat to Willem II on Friday will surely have refocused Ajax and they should be able to snap back to their best here, given they were in excellent form prior to said defeat, going on a run of 11 wins from 13 outings whilst scoring an average of 3.41 goals a game in the process.
Despite their recent results at home, Motherwell has struggled to keep opposing teams at bay, as they've conceded in four of their last six games. However, the flip side to that coin is that the hosts have been on fire in attack, scoring an average of 2.66 goals in their last three fixtures at home.
All play-offs would be cancelled, meaning the pyramid play-off involving the Highland League and Lowland League champions would be scrapped. However, the SPFL says that, should the plans be approved, they commit to consulting with clubs in April and May about reconfiguring the leagues for next season. We are keen to work with Uefa'Last week, Uefa cautioned that declaring campaigns early could mean countries would not be able to take up places in European competitions.
In addition, they are desperate to prevent the cancellation of the Belgian Pro League triggering a domino effect. Their letter to associations, leagues and clubs has pleaded for time - mid-May - to come up with a solution. It also contained a stark warning. Leagues that end prior to completion - as Belgium has done - risk not being allowed into next season's Champions and Europa Leagues. End the season now The difference with this compared to null and void is that points achieved to this point do count.
We're playing catch-up with this game, even though there is a history of soccer going back to the early part of the 20th century here the reality is we're trying to create our own little world because everyone else is so far ahead of us in terms of having older, longer-established clubs, longer-established leagues, cultures and traditions around the game. In plenty of cities, that means MLS - the country's top division - just is not cool yet.

Chelsea v Bayern Munich KEY STAT: Chelsea and Bayern Munich will meet in the Champions League for the first time since the 2012 final, which the Blues won 4-3 on penalties with Frank Lampard as captain.

Millwall have scored in every home game so far, with six of their last seven here seeing both teams score. Overall, 10 of their last 12 league games have seen both teams find the net, so we think there will be goals in Friday night’s meeting. With Forest in form on the road and Millwall consistently finishing their chances at home, both teams to score is our pick.

They're not an easy team to beat at Keepmoat, but Darren Moore's men certainly aren't prolific winners at home. Donny have won none of their last four on their own patch, three of which they've drawn. Scoring is rarely a problem – Doncaster have found the net in 11 out of 12 at home – but they're struggling to keep teams out. Moore's side have conceded in all but two of their home games, as well as in each of their last four.
There were cries of pain as Jack Grealish felt the full force of a couple of challenges, while Villa took advantage of the new rules by using four second-half substitutes. So much was new. So much felt strange. Let's say it - it all seemed very odd at times. What must also be said is that every precaution and step is necessary in the current climate when sport is not the top priority in this pandemic, but the Premier League needed to get going again.
Neither of these two teams have been enjoying a spell of particularly good form in recent weeks. Wolfsburg enjoyed an impressive unbeaten run at the start of the season. However, they have struggled to find wins in recent weeks.

He is not alone in making that call of course - most Premier League clubs, and significantly many Championship teams too, had fielded weakened sides this weekend. But nor can Klopp complain about having to play a replay after choosing to leave his first-choice strike action on the bench against the Shropshire side.

Double gameweeks. Managers prioritising Europe. There's a lot to consider for fantasy football managers in gameweek 29. No-one likes bringing in a player who is then left on the bench, especially not at this stage of the season where you are running out of time to close the gap and win the league. Who should you be picking and who should you be leaving out? BBC Sport has taken a look at some of the options.
GOAL! Everton 3-1 Crystal Palace (Calvert-Lewin): That will seal it! Richarlison wriggles free of his marker to head Digne's corner onto the post and Calvert-Lewin reacts quickest to bundle it home for his 13th goal of the season. KEY STATS Dominic Calvert-Lewin's 11 Premier League goals this season is the most by an English player in a single season for Everton since Andrew Johnson in 2006-07 (also 11).
Today the host who sit 9th place play against the guest who sit 13th place. The host is in a worse shape and not in good shape. The guest is normally in a better form. I think they will offer here a intense game for 90 minutes. Voluntari is even the favorite in this game in my eyes. They are currently in good shape and could reduce the relegation risk very much if they win again. For five games in a row they are unbeaten with three wins and two draws. Voluntari also played 2 teams above Dinamo Bucuresti and won both of the games. So they should win this game.

This match will be quite tough for the home side since the away team will not allow many goals to be scored against them in this particular game. Even though the away sides have been defeated in most of its games, it only loses with less than 2 goals or sometimes plays a draw. The home side, which is leading the table currently will make sure they maintain their position at the top of the table by scoring at least 2-0 or 1-0 win against their opponent in this game. The team to win this game will be Ahal in fulltime.
We were speaking about it at halftime and we are good friends," Alli told reporters. I know what sort of player Raheem is and he would never intentionally try to hurt someone. There are no hard feelings. He is a fantastic player and we move on. The tackle was similar to last month's incident where Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was sent off on VAR review and banned for three games when his mistimed tackle nearly injured Crystal Palace's Max Meyer.
Both clubs have changed manager this season and improved since doing so. Carlo Ancelotti is eyeing a European place for Everton, while David Moyes has made a decent start in his bid to take West Ham away from the relegation zone. These are two clubs that have conceded 65 league goals between them and the tip here is for both teams to score in this match.
The game, postponed last month following a storm warning, will be the first Bundesliga match played behind closed doors since the outbreak of the virus several weeks ago. We regret that it came to this but of course we are following the guidelines of the federal state. It was not an easy decision," mayor Hans Wilhelm Reiners said in a statement on Tuesday.
They last lost as many league matches in a row in March 2013 when in League One. Salah scored his 63rd goal in his 100th Premier League appearance - only Alan Shearer (79), Ruud van Nistelrooy (68) and Sergio Aguero (64) scored more in their first 100 games in the competition. Salah has scored more Premier League goals against Bournemouth (seven) than any other opponent, and has netted in all five of his appearances against the Cherries in the competition.
We know the hosts have failed to score from open play in their last six La Liga matches, whilst Lega have netted just four from eight outings on their travels so far this term. Whilst the visitors are on the upgrade, this is still likely to be an extremely cagey affair and quality in front of goal looks set to be at a premium.
