Atletico beat Real in a 2013 Copa del Rey showpiece, the 2014 Super Cup and the 2018 European Super Cup, while Real were the victors in the two sides' 2014 and 2016 Champions League finals.
This is one very interesting duel from Belgium second league who will be played today and I believe in at least three goals here, maybe with some luck and more than that.

Lokeren, on the other side, is team who is trying to back in elite league, where they were for many many seasons. They are in bad shape and in this match, they are enter after 0-4 in last round. Yes, over is ok.
Listen to the full podcast hereBest player played with Cesc Fabregas and Lionel Messi were Barcelona team-mates from 2011 until 2014 but had also played at youth level together for the club"It is obviously Lionel Messi. I played with him since I was 13. Definitely his talent is incomparable to anything I have seen in my life. Apart from the talent, for me he is such a competitor. I could not compare him to anyone.
Compared to his success at Real, Ronaldo’s form has dipped significantly at Juventus and he finished third behind Messi and Virgil van Dijk in the latest Ballon d’Or voting.

That is the case at a lot of clubs, not just the Reds, but Wednesday was a reminder of why Adrian is not a top-class keeper. One of his problems is that he is not very good at coming out of his area and judging situations, and another is that his kicking is not great. Both of those issues played a part in him giving the ball away as Atletico scored their first goal of the night. Playing out from the back is in vogue at the moment - it seems to be something that all teams have to do.
Four clubs meet Bellingham asking price Birmingham City’s teenage sensation Jude Bellingham will soon make a decision over his future, according to the Sunday Mirror.

But results weren't a factor in Keegan's decision - they had, after all, rediscovered their scintillating best, with 7-1 and 3-0 wins in their two previous league outings.

Kevin was Newcastle - he was the captain of the club," Lee says.

While the Premier League is off sunning itself, the Championship keeps plugging away, bringing the people of England the deeply silly football they crave.
He added: "Xhaka's comeback is going to be important to us. The Swiss midfielder has not played for the club since he swore and gestured towards Arsenal fans while being substituted during the match against Palace on 27 October, although he did feature for Switzerland in November's final round of European Championship qualifiers. Xhaka explained in a statement that he had "reached boiling point" following threats by supporters towards his family, and was offered counselling by Arsenal.
If it's Japan, I'm offski. If it's America, I'm offski. The only place I haven't been to in Europe is Azerbaijan. I've started watching the women's team as well. You just do it for the love of the jersey. The football is often disappointing, but the fans never let the side down. My first trip was against England after the Second World War in 1947. The first time abroad was the World Cup in Germany in 1974.
Having been brought to the club with the task of restoring the sense of excitement Barca used to be renowned for, Setien's side will be expected to entertain fans against Granada.

No side ever managed to win the competition in successive seasons. The last four is as far as they have got in any European competition since, when they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2016, and their immediate hopes of going any further are uncertain. Guardiola's side beat Real Madrid 2-1 at the Bernabeu in the first leg of this season's last 16 before the coronavirus put all forms of elite football on hold, but Uefa has banned them from Europe for the next two seasons and City are waiting on the outcome of an appeal against that decision.

Salah was able to have the night off and Firmino and captain Jordan Henderson were only introduced as late substitutes as Klopp rotated his resources. Liverpool's defence was vulnerable but their sheer potency in attack more than compensates, led by the world-class Mane, who tormented Everton all night and only blotted his copybook by missing two chances to make the scoreline even more emphatic. And Origi is fast becoming Everton's bogeyman, scoring twice in the first half after grabbing that dramatic 96th-minute winner in this same fixture last season.
After a 4-0 defeat at Bayern Munich and 3-3 home draw with Paderborn in league action, as well as a 3-1 loss at Barcelona in the Champions League, it's fair to say Dortmund had been coming under pressure in recent weeks.

We conceded the goal from the corner, first chance for them, not even a chance. Bit of luck. The message at half time was to keep playing.
