Ancelotti did go on to win the title the following season, but his move to Real Madrid in 2013 seemed a better fit. The Spanish giants are obsessed by European competitions and Ancelotti arrived at the Bernabeu at the right time. Predecessor Jose Mourinho might have brought Los Blancos a lot of success, but his tenure was one of relentless drama and uncomfortable tension. Ancelotti won his third Champions League as a coach with Real Madrid in 2014It was at Real that Ancelotti became known as something of a "diva whisperer".

Lawro's prediction: 1-1Nathan's prediction: I actually have this weird feeling Arsenal will nick it, but I can't really go against Liverpool. Villa lost home and away to the Reds but gave a good account of ourselves in both games, and were 1-0 up after 86 minutes at Villa Park in November before losing 2-1. One of my best mates is a Liverpool fan and I was hammering him with texts the whole game, until the very end.
We were controlling the game," Chelsea boss Frank Lampard told BBC Match of the Day. We were playing some great stuff and we felt in control but you can't be absolutely in control against Manchester City. It was bad luck for their first goal, and absolute quality from Riyad Mahrez for the second and that changed the game. Maybe we were a bit slow with our movement at the back. I know we were giving them a good game but I am disappointed with the small details.

Guadalupe will against Perez Zeledon in match Costa Rica Premier Division.

Moreover both teams have same the strength and surely this match not much score as per last match. Beside that Perez Zeledon on last 3 away match have yet to make score. Therefore, this match have more chance that both teams have not the score.

Eintracht Braunschweig will host Meppen for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be a very interesting match. Also, I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. Hosts probably are favorites on the home field. However, this will be not easy task. Braunschweig is one of the ambitious teams in this campaign. True, they have highly variable results. In last game Braunschweig played in a 0-0 draw with Mannheim. Also, we have Meppen who's is very average team in this season. However, the visitors are in solid shape. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. In my opinion, the visitors will try to remain unbeaten. My pick - Meppen to win.

The synergy between the players and fans is important.
