That was before completing the triumph with a 1-0 win in Portugal. Leverkusen also beat Portuguese opposition in the round of 32, sweeping aside Porto with a 5-2 aggregate win that saw them clinch victory at home and away. That was their first Europa League experience this season after being parachuted into the competition thanks to a third-place finish in their Champions League group.
The Paris Saint Germain star was the subject of reported interested from Manchester United and Chelsea, as well as David Beckham's MLS franchise Inter Miami, but opted to stay with the French champions until at least the end of the season. That left both Premier League sides without the January solutions they were looking for to their attacking problems, with United opting instead to take former Watford striker Odion Ighalo on loan and Chelsea going short.
The Parc des Princes has been a fortress for PSG in recent years and that hasn't changed under Thomas Tuchel with them winning twelve of their thirteen home matches this season in all competitions. They have scored a whopping 39 goals in this time and kept ten clean sheets which will definitely give Moreno and Monaco a shiver down their spine.
Only a couple of players went over to congratulate the Mexican and the rest went straight back to the centre circle. Former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was spotted in the stands at San Siro on Saturday, leading to the inevitable speculation that he is being lined up for the Napoli job should they lose to Liverpool.
For those of you who have not been following the ups and downs of the English second tier, there is still time to enjoy the drama of the country's best league. It's hardly controversial to write it. The Premier League has a gap of 22 points between the teams in first and second. Nothing remotely similar could ever happen in a league as competitive as the Championship.
On-loan Wolves forward Patrick Cutrone is one of two more players at Fiorentina to test positive for coronavirus. The Italian, 22, returned to Serie A in January on an 18-month loan deal, six months after joining Wolves. On Saturday, Fiorentina confirmed that Cutrone, Argentine defender German Pezzella and physiotherapist Stefano Dainelli all had coronavirus. Serbian forward Dusan Vlahovic tested positive for the virus on Friday.
Brighton have scored more than a goal in one of their last 10 away matches. Brighton have three away wins in 18 league matches. Five of the last seven meetings between Burnley and Brighton have ended in draws. Burnley have scored more than one goal in just one of their last 10 matches. Burnley are unbeaten in seven matches, winning four.
With nine defeats, one draw and just one win from their last 11 games, Bournemouth's Premier League form is even worse than their host’s, and with the Cherries caught in an alarming slide, their place at English football's top table looks severely under threat.
Right now, with the SPFL stating the outcome for the top flight would be delayed until after 23 April, it would only appear that Rangers and Hearts are against it. So the resolution will pass its first test. Next, it needs 15 of the 20 League One and League Two clubs to also vote for it. That looks straightforward. Some of these clubs are bleeding financially and need the injection of cash that calling the leagues would deliver in days.
Martinez was sent off in stoppage time for his furious reaction after being given a yellow card for a foul and had to be ushered away by team mates as he continued to remonstrate with the referee. Inter have 48 points from 21 games, three behind Juventus who were away to Napoli later on Sunday, and three more than third-placed Lazio who meet AS Roma.
There might have been a communication error there, though. Richards came off the bench to replace Aleksandar Kolarov for the final 14 minutes of the 2014 Community Shield, which City lost 3-0 against ArsenalThe Community Shield is officially a friendly so I was actually eligible to play for Inter too - but on deadline day clubs might not have enough time to check everything out properly, and they could not take the risk that I would not be able to play.

Media playback is not supported on this device Pep Guardiola says he cannot explain why his side failed to score I would also be shocked if they don't beat West Ham on Sunday. This Hammers team cannot defend at the moment, as we saw against Brighton last weekend, so City are going to get plenty of chances to find the net this time. West Ham know they are in a relegation dogfight now, but the problem is they knew that last Saturday too, and it did not seem to help them.
The hosts have defeated better teams than struggling Nimes at home recently, for example won 3-1 with Bordeaux or 2-1 with both Lyon and Lille two Champions League sides, or 2-0 with Strasbourg which is also quite decent team, while Nimes has the disadvantage of also playing in the League Cup this midweek at home with St Etienne and lost that game 2-1 in normal time, so loss of energy with no good result for them.

Everton lack steel and styleEverton retained some hope of a Europa League place when the Premier League restarted but more than that you sense the final nine games were a chance for Ancelotti to assess which members of his squad have a future at the club. On this evidence, the Italian has his work cut out. They possess two superb centre forwards, but without much of a creative midfield behind them the Blues are unable to maximise their most potent weapons.
It doesn't help African players. We won't sell Sadio, Mo and Naby because they're playing in January, of course not. But if you are thinking of buying one, you have to think about they won't play for a month in January," Klopp said. The tournament, played every two years, was switched to June-July last year when it was played in Egypt, avoiding disruption to the European club season but provoking concerns about high temperatures.

Although Match of the Day pundits Neville and Alan Shearer were divided over whether Henderson should replace De Gea at the start of next season - with the former wanting to stick with De Gea and the latter calling for a change in Utd's first choice - the Blades stopper is favoured by the numbers. While he has made one error which led to a goal, Henderson also has a goals prevented figure of 9. Premier League this season.
Both teams scored in just 25% of Ajax’s home games as well as in 38% of Den Haag’s away games, which is why we are confident that only one team will score in Amsterdam this weekend. Ajax have kept a clean sheet and won-to-nil in 62% of their home games and Den Haag have failed to score and lost-to-nil in 38% of their away games, making our prediction for a win-to-nil in favour of the hosts look even more realistic.
For our correct score tip, it should probably come as no surprise to learn that we are thinking the one goal will be enough to settle it. The hosts have failed to score in 45% of their home league matches this term and average just 0.91 goals per game at Brunton Park. When you consider that Bradford have scored in 90% of their away league matches and have failed to score more than once in any of their last five league matches, then backing a 1-0 away win looks to be the way to go.
Leicester stuck four goals past a full-strength Villains when the sides clashed in a one-sided Premier League clash at Villa Park in early December, and we think there are goals on offer for the Foxes in Wednesday's Carabao Cup rematch.
Both teams are wounded as they go to this game, but a factor that stands out is that both are weak in defence. Burnley are the poorest in defence in the top 14 and Spur are the poorest in the top 11. They have both been scoring regularly though, and we have reason to believe they will both score here. However, with Spurs’ home record, as well as dominance over Spurs, we will be backing the home team for a win.
Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is doubtful for Wednesday's Scottish Premiership visit of Ross County because of a calf injury, manager Steven Gerrard has confirmed.

Alfredo has not only been suspended, he has had a small calf problem as well," Gerrard told Rangers TV.
