The Barcelona and Argentine superstar arrived in excellent condition at the national team camp in Manchester. Leo has not missed any training since the start of the game, and everyone is expecting to be the champion of both “albisseleste” controls against Italy and Spain.

La Pulga also wants to be dealt in the Los Guccios check-up, which will be penultimate rehearsals before the World Cup in Russia. Gonzalo Iguaine is also in perfect physical shape and will play in both friendly matches.

The theme of the strained relationship between Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba was again taken up by the English media, despite the attempts by both of them to show that everything was wrong between them. It was exactly such an impression that the Frenchman tried to create after the Liverpool derby when he interrupted the special interview to congratulate him. The Portuguese, who was pleased with the victory over the Merseyside, replied with a surprise smile, but then, in the dressing room, he raged on Pugba. The midwife was reproached in the fact that his behavior was a disrespect.

After this one-time incident, Pugba, who missed the derby because of an injury, was not the title of the two subsequent Manchester United matches. Against Sevilla he entered the 60th minute, while Brighton did not appear in the game.

Alexis Sanchez’s transfer to Manchester United was greeted with great enthusiasm by team fans who accepted the deal as a direct victory over Manchester City’s rival. So far, however, the 29-year-old Chilean has been disappointed at Old Trafford, scoring just one goal in ten Red Devils. Besides, the former Arsenal player has come to the spotlight several times with negative records as to how often he loses the ball in one match. The difficulties Sanchez faces with his adaptation to United have already disturbed the governing factors in the club, the worries being that the Chilean may repeat the fate of Angel di Maria. The latter was attracted to Real in 2014, against a record £ 59.7 million for a British club. After an incompetent season in England he was sold to Paris Saint Germain for 44 million.

According to the Daily Mail, the headquarters are very surprised at how isolated and gloomy the Chilean is, who does not make enough effort to integrate into the new environment. An example is his behavior during the lunches of the training base where Sanchez usually feeds on his own.

“Alexis looks like a man who does not want to be here, and things do not look good, he looks like a boy who’s lost,” said Di Maria, “according to a source from the club.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, however, is confident that the player with the highest salary in the Premier League will show his true qualities next season.

The Basques have a record of 8 wins, 11 draws and 9 defeats since the start of the campaign. In their last five games they won twice, lost twice and made one draw – a perfect example of their inconsistency this season.

What Milan can do now is keep the 6th place and participate once again in Europa League next season.

Legend of Roma Francesco Totti admitted that he still has difficulty getting used to the thought that he has finished his competitive career. The symbol of the “wolves” revealed that he most missed the moment when he shooted his soccer shoes and stepped into the field. Totti gave an interview to the Serie A site, in which he talked about his new role as a director in Roma and his beloved city of Rome.

“Rome is the most beautiful city in the world, there is a sea, there are mountains, sun, nice people, I have never left Roma and Serie A because I have just dreamed to wear only one jersey – that of Roma, but I’m lucky I’m still on the pitch, I’m in the dressing room, talk to the coach, I’m attending the team’s training, “he said. Totti.

Lazio’s strong season continues with a standings for the Europa League quarter-finals. This happened after the team succeeded in defeating Dinamo (Kiev) from the second attempt. This evening in the rematch, the Italian team made a 2-0 draw as a guest in Ukraine, compensating for that 2: 2 a week ago in Rome. Both goals fell after the corner kick. Lukas Leiva scored first in the 23rd minute, and Stefan de Fray scored seven points before the end.

Simone Indzagi’s team completely deserved their ranking in the next phase, and had much earlier to ensure their peace. However, a number of omissions – especially Ciro Immobile – kept the intrigue almost to the end.

The guests were without Sergei Milinkovic-Savic, who was traumatized. However, Ciro Immobile was in perfect shape.

For the Ukrainians the title was Junior Moraes, who fixed the final result of “Olympiacos” and so gave a slight advance to his team. At the first meeting the former CSKA striker was not in the starting 11.

Immobile could find out in the 8th minute when he walked alone against the goalie, passed it, but then Tamas Cadar stopped the strike. After another eight minutes, the Italian striker again fired, but this time the ball went past the beam.

The Biancolates’ pressure resulted in the 23rd minute when surprise Lukas Leiva knocked his head to a corner from the corner – 1: 0 for Lazio.

Two minutes later, the Italians claimed Mickita Bourda’s misconduct against the Imobile goalkeeper, but the referee, Jesus Hill Mansano, was silent.

Dynamoci were on a step in the 29th minute when Senad Lulic lost the ball in front of the penalty area and followed a parabolic jump by Viktor Tsigankov, who flew inches from the goal.

In the 34th for a while Luis Alberto punished Kiev directly from a corner kick but keeper Dennis Boiko managed to intervene.

Despite the fact that Lazio led to the result, Simone Indzagi’s team continued to attack and in the 38th minute Felipe Andersson handed the ball to Immobile, who for several meters showed unconceivable speed and failed to shoot.

The same was repeated four minutes later, and this time Immobile tried to roll the ball past the watch of Dynamo, but he reached out and reflected.

Only a few seconds later, the “eagle” gallop again proved to be alone against Boyko, trying to pass it, but he stopped the ball with his hand. This happened around the boundary of the box and led to a controversy over whether it was out of the box, but the Spanish judging brigade again did not mark a violation of the rules.

The second half began with the home side, but after a corner, the ball went out.

In the 51st extraordinary pass he created the right-wing midfielder of Lazio Patrick, who had to hit the goal but for a few meters over the beam.

It was only after this episode that the Ukrainians managed to put the game in the front position, because 0: 1 was throwing them out of the tournament.

The guests already played mostly against the counterattack, and in such an action in the 71st Andersson fired at the goalkeeper instead of handing it to Immobile.

A minute later, Mbokani and Tsiganko missed Dynamo for good situations.

The stadium rose to the ground in the 78th minute when Derles Gonzalez tied several players to Lazio and shoved dangerously but the chance was not with him and the ball did not hit the door.

In the 83rd minute, the lasists showed a well-rounded corner kick, where De Fry directed the ball into the 2: 0 net, making it all.

The draw for the 1/4-finals is on Friday.

This evening at 19:00 is the match-off between Besiktas and Bayern from the 1/8-final in the Champions League. The match seems more than protocol because the Bavarians defeated their rival with Allianz Arena 5: 0. Today the Turks will play mainly for their honor and will try to show that they are not just boxing pears for the big ones.

In fact, today’s meeting will be a chance for Besiktas to try to achieve the first defeat against Bayern on the Champions League level. In the previous three games, the “Eagles” have recorded three losses, with no one goal scored (0: 9 goal difference).

However, the task of the hosts will not be easy. Bayern is in super form lately. Juppe Hainkes has earned 14 of his last 15 matches, including his last 5 Champions League games. In addition, the Bavarians are the team that holds three of the record wins (with a total result of both matches) in the tournament – 12: 1 against Sporting (Lisbon) in 2008/09, 10: 2 against Arsenal in 2016/17 and 7-0 against Shahor (Donetsk) in 2014/15

What can give hope to the Turkish Grand Prix is ​​Bayern’s statistics in the tournament. The Germans have only 1 win in their last 10 games away from the home of the elimination phase. In the other 9 matches, the team recorded 4 draws and 5 losses.

Today the hosts can not count on the injured Dusko Toshich and Pepe, while Domagoji Vida is punished for the red card received at the Allianz Arena in the first match.

Guest coach Jup Hainkes will be deprived of the services of long-injured Kingsley Commander and Manuel Neuer, while Cohen Tolizo and Hamas Rodriguez are also in question about the Istanbul meeting.
