With the level of players at the high end that we have been looking at, as intriguing as it is, it has proven to be very difficult because the teams you are competing with are teams in the Champions League," McDonough told the BBC. When you get into big-name players that's very, very difficult for MLS teams to compete with at this time. Inter Miami are close to finalising their squad but the number eight and nine shirts remain unassigned, waiting for the moment the right player becomes available.

England captain Harry Kane says the Premier League season should be scrapped if it cannot be completed by the end of June. All elite football in England is suspended until at least 30 April because of the coronavirus pandemic. I know the Premier League will do everything it can to finish the season," said Tottenham striker Kane. There needs to be a point where enough is enough. Probably the limit for me is the end of June.
Teenager Ansu Fati, who started in a front three with Messi and Griezmann, had two early efforts, one of which resulted in a superb save from Rui Silva. And in the second half Messi's low strike struck the side-netting. Granada spent most of the match defending, but a brief spell after the break saw them go close to scoring when Yan Eteki's firm low strike came off the post. Barcelona's next match is a Copa del Rey quarter-final match at Ibiza on Wednesday.

Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Carlisle United 3-4 Cardiff City Cardiff, who scraped past Carlisle in a thrilling replay to get here, are not great not on the road but seem to draw a lot of games. These two sides meet again in the Championship next week, so put all that together and you just know this tie will go to a replay too - they will be sick of the sight of each other by then, too.
On Wednesday, the former Barcelona player gave Aaron Cresswell and Fornals a workout right from the first whistle. The 23-year-old has always been lauded for his great pace, but his crossing has improved noticeably this campaign. He provide two great balls from the right in the opening quarter, one of which needed a headed clearance from Fabian Balbuena to prevent Jimenez from nodding in.
Only players who have been tested negatively twice in succession are allowed to train and play. Last week, chancellor Angela Merkel said that any decision on if and when sports activities could resume would now be taken on Wednesday, 6 May. The league has been suspended since mid-March because of the global coronavirus pandemic. It is absolutely necessary that we remain disciplined and stick to health guidelines," said Merkel.
I know how I feel. If any of my family get infected through me because I've had to play when it's not safe, and they get seriously ill, I'd have to think hard about ever playing again. I would never forgive the authorities.

Rotherham have a good defensive record at home, but they too have conceded their fair share of goals of late, so plumping for them to keep a clean sheet doesn't appeal. Fortunately for them, they've got lots to offer going forward. Crucially, more than Saturday's visitors.
In mid-May we should be able to be back on with all European competitions. All of them. Of course, it depends on how the pandemic evolves," Tebas told Marca on Wednesday. It could even be before then, but this is the date that we are working on as a latest in order to start up again. Regarding whether matches will be played behind closed doors, he added: "All depends on the health authorities in each individual country.
Liverpool have qualified for the European Cup or Champions League on 24 occasionsPat Nevin: I definitely don't like the thought of leagues not being finished, unless of course this goes on for six months. And then you are in a different reality altogether, and you may have to consider that it cannot be finished. As time goes by, it gets more complicated because players' contracts will have run out.
SKODA Xanthi is playing in a bad shape right now. The home team only got 30 points over 26 rounds. They are currently ranked 10th on the chart. In total, they brought only 8 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses. In the last 10 matches, they did not win any. They only brought 5 draws and 5 losses. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote.

They made the worst possible start, however, as Bournemouth capitalised on the Reds' early nerves to take a shock lead - albeit in controversial fashion. Wilson finished off a neat move involving Lerma and Philip Billing, but Liverpool felt the goal should have been disallowed for the striker's push on Gomez. The video assistant referee saw no infringement and the goal was given. Things could have got worse for the home side when Nathan Ake's powerful header was unconvincingly shovelled on to the top of the crossbar by stand-in goalkeeper Adrian, but Liverpool continued to create chances and deservedly restored parity through Salah's low finish - his 70th league goal for the club.
A leaky defence is bound to be a cause of concern for Mourinho, though. Tottenham have conceded six goals in the Portuguese's first three games. It's a problem he must address - and rapidly. MAN OF THE MATCH - Dele Alli (Tottenham) Mourinho has taken the shackles off Alli and now Spurs are seeing the best of the young man, as Christian Eriksen continues to rot on the bench.

Obviously Ronaldinho’s the headline here, and a super-young Messi wearing no. But keep an eye out for Roberto Carlos’s trip about three minutes in. The kind of blunt, outrageous cynicism that VAR has taken from us. HAT TIP Over on The Athletic [£], Oliver Kay has been digging into the story of Dong Fangzhuo at Manchester United.
Reims have drawn each of their last three matches and with their last clash with Amiens finishing level, we're backing a stalemate here. The Unicorns have three goals in their last three games despite the damning results while Reims have also been consistently finding the net with four in their last five so we're backing this to finish 1-1.

As a club we would love to finish the job that we started all those months ago and try to win promotion on the pitch. We spoke to a number of clubs this week just to try and gauge opinion. Our message to them, and to the fans remains the same: If a safe way can be found for football to return then we will be ready.

Rashford scored in United's 2-1 win over champions Manchester City at the weekend to take his tally to 10 league goals for the season, already equalling his best return in the top flight midway through the campaign. The 22-year-old England international has 13 goals in his last 14 games for club and country and Solskjaer said he saw similarities with Portuguese forward Ronaldo, who scored 118 times in 292 appearances for United from 2003-2009.
All things considered, backing the Both Teams to Score line looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we're more than happy to do. 4 of Wolfsburg's last 6 home games have seen goals at both ends, as have St Etienne's last 4 on the road and 3 overall and everything about this fixture suggest both teams will score, with a 2-1 home win on the cards. Wolfsburg have the greater need for the win and should have enough quality to just about edge it.
Premier League promotion hopefuls Leeds United went top of the Championship and moved seven points clear of third-placed Fulham with a comfortable win over local rivals Huddersfield. The hosts raced into a third-minute lead when full-back Luke Ayling smashed home a superb volley from Jack Harrison's deep cross. Patrick Bamford wrapped up the win with a close-range finish after Town goalkeeper Jonas Lossl could only tip Ben White's header into his path, while Harrison also hit the woodwork for the hosts.

Does anyone doubt that if Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino had started in Sunday's game Liverpool would have won? Klopp and the other managers who fielded weakened teams, always say how they respect the competition and are simply rotating their squad but there is no escaping the fact that managers who want to win games field their best teams.
However, Antonio Conte's Inter Milan are also interested in bringing in the 32-year-old, but only on a loan deal. Paper Round's view: United's midfield is clearly lacking something at the moment. It's not creative enough and there's not enough drive or passion in the middle of the park for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
Other targets emerging are Nuno Espirito Santo, Carlo Ancelotti at Napoli, and Manchester City assistant manager Mikel Arteta. Paper Round’s view: Taking Arteta from Manchester City is also a risk, given he has no experience as a head coach and was not an exceptional player in any regard. Santo and Ancelotti have both impressed in the Premier League and perhaps Ancelotti is less attractive given his likely salary demands, and that he is more of a steady hand than a coach to lift a whole side in disarray.
Dowell completed his hat-trick after the break but that was where the scoring ended. While the final scoreline was staggering, the result was crucial for both sides. The Latics, who have a 12-point deduction for going into administration looming, are now 12 points above the relegation zone with two games to play. Hull's woeful run of form in 2020 continues, however, with this low point leaving them in the bottom three by one point.
While their form may not match the very top in the division, one area they remain very consistent is in their ability to find the back of the net and have scored in each of their last 13 league matches. Given that just 39% of their conceded goals have come at home, they should be confident of the three points on Saturday afternoon.

French winger Reine-Adelaide claimed his first goal since August to put Lyon ahead in the 10th minute as he produced a cool low finish from the edge of the area. Dembele slotted in his 10th league goal of the season with a penalty before the hosts had defender Fernando Marcal sent off for a high boot on youngster Hichem Boudaoui in the 34th.
There’s no way Emery is telling Luiz to step up two, three times to catch a player offside, or even some of the hideous things you see from other defenders. You see what happened with [Granit] Xhaka the other week, Emery is a man of honour and this runs far deeper than just the coach. He might be feeling quite happy to leave behind what is quite simply an average bunch of players.
Our correct score prediction also takes the clubs in question's excellent attacking productivity and questionable defensive performances into account – and we're tipping Chelsea to emerge 3-2 victors.
We've got a group here who never go under. I'll be working hard. You saw me committed in the last game and this game and you saw a team full of commitment to playing for Burnley. When asked directly about his future by BBC Radio 5 Live, Dyche replied: "Everyone keeps talking about my future apart from me. I'm getting on with my job as I always do - I'm still here. Burnley's victory came courtesy of a second-half header from captain Ben Mee, who threw himself in to meet an Ashley Westwood free-kick and steer an effort past Vicente Guaita, although the home keeper should really have saved it.
But Messi eased their nerves with a magnificent curling strike from outside the box to restore Barca's two-goal cushion in the 69th and Suarez finally got on the scoresheet by converting from the penalty spot in the 75th. Barca lead the standings on 39 points from 18 games, three clear of second-placed Real Madrid who host Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
