Uefa said the case represented "the most serious, sophisticated, deliberate and fundamental attempt to circumvent and violate basic financial fair play principles". It said the "attitude of the club" should also be considered, given it gave "demonstrably incorrect information and continues to change its explanations". It added the "evidence on record is overwhelming" and consists of the Football Leaks Documents and accounting evidence.
This weekend's Bundesliga action begins on Friday at the Schwarzwald-Stadion when Freiburg welcome Borussia Monchengladbach. The hosts, eighth in the table, are in with a shout for a Europa League spot, four points behind sixth-placed Wolfsburg. Gladbach, meanwhile, also have European ambitions and they are currently situated in fourth, the final Champions League spot, although they're only ahead of Bayer Leverkusen on goal difference.
All Champions League and Europa League matches have been suspended "until further notice" by Uefa because of the global coronavirus pandemic. All national team games in June have also been postponed, including play-off matches for Euro 2020 - already postponed to 2021 - and qualifying matches for the Women's Euro 2021. The European governing body's 55 member associations met on Wednesday. The Premier League is suspended until at least 30 April.

Odds are quite decent for taking the over 2.5 goals here in this one as both teams despite being newly promoted clubs for this season in Premier League they are quite decent at scoring goals but especially Aston Villa is very weak in defense, although I cannot praise the defense of Sheffield Utd too highly either losing lately 2-0 to Newcastle and drawing 3-3 with Manchester Utd at home, but they did win 2-1 away at Norwich last round as their attack produces goals to keep them safe away from the relegation zone and in fact in the fight for an Europa League place at this moment.
Getafe are no more than fairly priced at around 4/6 for the win, but we feel the hosts are worthy of support based on the reasons outlined. As the league table implies though, there won't be too much between the teams and we're predicting a 2-1 scoreline. Levante are capable of scoring after registering in five of their last six away, but Getafe should have enough to get over the line. The hosts have scored nine in their last five at home whilst Levante have shipped 12 in seven away, so 2-1 definitely appears the most likely outcome for the fourth game on Sunday's La Liga card.
Reaction & as it happenedNo Van Basten moment for AcciesThe fact Accies were in search of their first win in 11 attempts might have had the majority of onlookers expecting a straightforward home win. However, the South Lanarkshire men had previous at Pittodrie, namely on their last visit in February, when Brian Rice's side returned south with all three points after a 2-0 victory.
Scrap it and start again. Start it again, yeah," Shaw said during the Combat Corona fundraiser for UNICEF, a FIFA 20 competition that was streamed on Twitch. It's got to be, you know. If we can't carry it on, it's got to be void. Shaw was part of the event - that also had Gareth Bale, Paulo Dybala, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jordan Pickford and Ruben Loftus-Cheek - which raised around 17,000 pounds ($20,920) through online donations.
The Saints beat Norwich City 2-1 on Wednesday to climb out of the relegation zone and up to 17th in the standings. The trip to Newcastle will be their third game in eight days. We have a few issues with the high workload," Hasenhuettl told reporters. I think for the weekend these players will all be able to play and it's on me to decide if I go again with the team that invested a lot two times or if I put a few fresh players in.

Leipzig have scored four goals in two of their last four Bundesliga games. Meanwhile, Fortuna have currently got the Bundesliga's joint-worst home goalscoring record. We feel that Leipzig have a good chance of equalling Bayern's 4-0 win over Fortuna this Saturday. We feel that a 4-0 win for Leipzig is a likely outcome of this game.
The team were due to prepare for Thursday's semi-final against Atletico Madrid at local side Al-Ittihad Club's training ground, but the driver instead took them to the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium where Super Cup matches are taking place. The two venues are separated by over 30 kilometres and the team's bus finally arrived at the training ground 45 minutes behind schedule, delayed by the coastal city's notorious traffic levels.
Charlton Athletic boss Lee Bowyer says using points per game to decide the final Championship table if the season is cut short would be "scandalous". Like the Premier League, doubts remain over whether the 2019-20 EFL campaign, suspended because of coronavirus, can be played to a full conclusion. If the season is cancelled, points per game may be used as a deciding factor. But Bowyer, whose side are 22nd in the Championship and would be relegated, said that method "wouldn't be fair".
One of the reasons why odds are so big on the home win in this one although I do expect them to get lower by the start of the game is the fact that Real Madrid lost many points this season but remain 2nd in the league same number of points as the league leaders from Barcelona, while Sevilla given the many slip-ups from the top two are with 35 points just 5 points behind the top two clubs sitting on 4th place same number of points as Atletico Madrid.

The 30-year-old, who mutually terminated his contract with Turkey's Trabzonspor on Monday, was given a six-week ban in July -- four of them suspended -- and fined 75,000 pounds ($95,857) but the FA appealed the independent regulatory panel's decision. An independent Appeal Board on Monday increased his ban to four months and doubled his fine after it deemed the original penalty to be "unduly lenient.

There's a lot of expectation on her. It was a lot to start her today. We had an outbreak of flu, so I had no choice. I just asked her to push herself into the team and do a job and that's what she did today. She fits in so well to the team. She's humble, hard-working, honest, thoughtful and an unbelievable team player.
The Scotland captain was forced out of this month's Euro 2020 qualifiers against Cyprus and Kazakhstan but returned to play the full 90 minutes of Liverpool's Premier League victory at Crystal Palace on Saturday. It has been better to be fair, a bit stiff after matches but it is something I can manage with and something I'm quite happy with," the 25-year-old said of his ankle issue.
Steve,” said Ferguson. This game isn’t finished. He started shouting at the players to get back to the halfway line so that the game could resume as quickly as possible. There were 26 seconds between Bayern kicking off and Solskjaer winning a corner for United.

West Ham United have had a poor season so far and they will head here knowing they need a win, against a team that has had a superb season. Wolves have their eyes on the top four and with a dominant run against West Ham, who have been struggling, they will feel they can collect three points. The major concern for Wolves here is the fact that they have not managed too many clean sheets away from home recently. We expect that to continue here though they will have the upper hand. A 2-1 win for Wolves may pass here.

Players will be monitored by an appointed team health and safety official and will undergo regular testing. An infection to a player will be reported to authorities, who will be in charge of any other steps, but the team will not be automatically quarantined. Germany’s death toll from coronavirus is much lower than the likes of Italy, Spain, France or the UK, with its large-scale testing and strict, early lockdown believed to have kept the rate of infection down.
Chelsea struck a significant blow in the fight for the top four places in the Premier League with a fully deserved victory over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. In a confrontation billed as a battle between Frank Lampard and his old mentor Jose Mourinho, Spurs could have leapfrogged Chelsea with victory but were outplayed and are now adrift by four points. Lampard made four changes from the team that lost 2-0 at home to Manchester United on Monday and they paid rich dividends as they all made a contribution to only their second win in seven league games.
West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini says he never discusses the future with the club's hierarchy. The 66-year-old Chilean was appointed in May 2018 but has come under increasing pressure with five defeats in the last six league games. The Hammers are only one place above the relegation zone with three wins from their opening 13 matches. You must be clear, it is game by game," said Pellegrini before Saturday's visit to Chelsea.
What can we expect from him in terms of tactics? Historically, Ancelotti adapts himself to the team he trains, avoiding upsetting the work done by the previous coach. Over the years he has gone from Milan's 4-3-2-1 (in Italy, "The Christmas tree"), with which he won everything, to Bayern Munich's 4-3-3 inherited from Pep Guardiola until the last 4-4-2 with Naples.

Freiburg have struggled versus non-possession-based sides at times this season. They have lost games against Hertha Berlin, Union Berlin, and Cologne already this season.

Including caretakers, only one of Arsenal's last five managers has won their first home game in charge - Pat Rice against Sheffield Wednesday in September 1996. Brighton have beaten 'big six' opposition away from home in the Premier League for the very first time at the 17th attempt; they had lost 15 of the previous 16 such games. Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette has scored 25 of his 32 Premier League goals at the Emirates Stadium.
Last season this game was very interesting as the hosts made it 2-0 till the 10th minute of the game, but Bohemians did not say their last word as they missed a penalty kick and in the second half made it 2-2 only for Plzen to score late and get all 3 points very hard though with 3-2 in the end. And 2nd placed Plzen is very strong in home games this season with 7 wins and just 2 losses in the league so far, while they score twice the number of goals they do in away games at home.
The Russians are in a much more favourable position than Benfica, as they know that a win puts them through, while even draw may be enough. That said, it's not easy to envisage Zenit going to Estu00e1dio da Luz and walking it.
All things considered, backing the Both Teams to Score line has to be the way to play as far as the betting is concerned here and is something we're more than happy to do. As touched upon above, both nets are almost always hit in Eastleigh's fixture and with 5 of Boreham Wood's last 7 having done the same, we can't see that changing, with a 2-1 margin of home victory on the cards.
We coped exceptionally well today and that is the most important for me.

Video - Could isolation camps help finish Premier League season?05:41 "We are aware of the public sentiment that the players should pay non-playing staff's salaries. However, our current position is that – as businesses - if clubs can afford to pay their players and staff, they should," it said. It said that players did not want to see club staff furloughed unfairly and that "any use of the government's support schemes without genuine financial need is detrimental to the wider society.
Juventus have the history but Lazio have the hunger The top two still have 12 games left to play, meaning plenty of points to play for and plenty of opportunity for Juventus to turn this into yet another comfortable title romp. However, Lazio will undoubtedly see things differently. Before all football in Italy was suspended in March, Lazio were a side in form. Unbeaten since September, they had won 16 of their previous 18 games.
It evolved into an eight-nation tournament in 1980 and in 1996, when it was held in England, it grew to 16 teams. The most recent edition in 2016, in France, included 24 nations for the first time. The final, in which Portugal beat the hosts, was watched by a television audience of 284 million. The 2020 edition, brainchild of former UEFA president Michel Platini, was supposed to be the first staged across the continent, rather than by a single or joint host nations.
