Get odds on Man Utd winning the CL United finished sixth in the Premier League last season but returned to UEFA’s elite club competition courtesy of their victory over Ajax in the Europa League final. They have since strengthened their ranks by signing defender Victor Lindelof and striker Romelu Lukaku from Benfica and Everton respectively. And Valverde, whose Barca side defeated United 1-0 in an International Champions Cup match in Maryland on Wednesday, believes Jose Mourinho’s team can pose a threat in Europe this term....

Unai Emery’s men hold a handsome 4-0 advantage heading into the return fixture at Camp Nou following an emphatic triumph on home turf last month.

The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from the French capital, with the likes of Barcelona and Juventus among his many admirers. Verratti has batted the transfer speculation away at regular intervals, maintaining that he is happy in Ligue 1 for now, but he has left the door open for a future switch to be made.

Ousmane Dembele, Samuel Umtiti and Gavi are now isolating at home following a positive PCR test, though Barca say the trio are in good health. It means Barca boss Xavi could be without up to 14 senior players when La Liga resumes this weekend through a combination of coronavirus, injury and suspension.

The league leaders recorded a 4-1 away victory on Sunday courtesy of a Neymar hat-trick and a strike from Suarez himself. Ruthless Real don’t need to play well to win titles But Madrid still hold a game in hand and now just need four points from their last two games away to Celta Vigo and Malaga, Zinedine Zidane’s men having beaten Sevilla 4-1 to keep the destiny of the title race in their own hands....

Espanyol troll Messi celebration Iniesta was a doubt for the Liga match after missing training on Friday and he has not been able to prove his fitness in time to make Luis Enrique’s squad. Rafinha, Aleix Vidal and Jeremy Mathieu are the other injury absentees for Barca, who have included 19-year-old Carles Alena in their matchday 18 and welcome back Neymar after the Brazilian served a three-match ban. Iniesta has started just 10 Liga games in a stop-start season for the 32-year-old, with Denis Suarez and Andre Gomes the contenders to take his place in the Barcelona midfield....

Pique takes his place on the bench after being sent off with two yellow cards in their midweek Champions League clash against Olympiakos. Javier Mascherano takes the Spain international’s place alongside Samuel Umtiti in the centre of defence, making his fifth league start. Paulinho also played in the win over the Greek side but has been replaced by Ivan Rakitic for the visit of Malaga.

The revamped Supercopa is a four-team mini tournament that pits the top two finishers from last year’s La Liga table against the finalists of the Copa del Rey. While Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski is suspended in league play, he will be available for his club in this competition. It will be a needed boost for Barcelona who struggled to attack for sustained stretches of their last league game against Atletico Madrid despite holding comfortable spells of possession....

Ernesto Valverde’s side suffered a humiliating exit from the quarter-finals of Europe’s premier club competition at the hands of Roma, whose 3-0 win on Tuesday saw the Italians through on away goals. That loss put an end to an unbeaten streak that had stretched to 19 games and they will be eager to bounce back by returning to winning ways as they seek to move closer to Primera Division glory....

Alvaro Garcia’s early goal was enough to resign Barcelona to a third straight home defeat as Rayo Vallecano emerged 1-0 victors, leaving Barcelona yet unable to confirm a Champions League place. The hosts were baffled for much of the match by the heroic Rayo defending and goalkeeping, with precious few chances to equalize throughout the match. The biggest opportunity came early in stoppage time as Gavi was barreled over by Alejandro Catena in the penalty area, but the referee mystifyingly refused to intervene, and neither did VAR....

Barcelona waltzed through its preseason games, while Real Madrid stumbled to defeats against Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich and a 7-3 thrashing at the hands of local rivals Atletico Madrid. The tables were swiftly reversed in the opening game of the campaign last weekend, with Real winning 3-1 in Vigo while Barcelona lost 1-0 away to Athletic Bilbao. It took an absolutely stunning goal from Aritz Aduriz just one minute from time to beat Barcelona, but the defending champions hadn’t looked impressive at any stage during the game....

The latest blow to Redstone’s three-month quest to merge with Paramount was dealt by Delaware Chancery Court Judge Jack B. Jacobs. Among other things, Jacobs said Paramount improperly refused to consider a higher bid by QVC. The judge also threw out a so-called lockup provision, which would have given Viacom more than $400 million if the merger failed. This, says Salomon Brothers analyst Margo Vignola, “really levels the playing field....

The entire Cooperstown experience was surreal, of course, but the Gallery simply took my breath away. I took a picture of the bronze plaque honoring Theodore Samuel Williams. Same with the plaques honoring Jack Roosevelt Robinson and Stanley Frank Musial and Willie Howard Mays and Mickey Charles Mantle and maybe a dozen others. I couldn’t help myself. These were the legends I’d read about my entire life, the giants who shaped the game and captured the imaginations of baseball fans across the country....

A nation as badly governed as this one nowadays is by professional politicians may not think the adjective “professional” is an encomium when applied to apparatchiks like Jordan and Rollins. But Washington clings to its comforting assumption that candidates are of secondary and voters of only tertiary importance. What matters most are the operatives who tell candidates which convictions are convenient to hold, and who are the favorite sources for the journalists who write and broadcast stories that take the operatives as seriously as the operatives take themselves: very....

Today, the Tropicana Trail is a little quieter–but no less fascinating. After voting in Washington, D.C. this morning on a series of emergency war-funding bills, Obama returns to Florida for a 4:00 p.m. event at the B’nai Torah synagogue in Boca Raton. Like with yesterday’s Kissimmee appearance, Obama will make an initial pass at appealing to a key Sunshine State community that’s been reluctant to back him in the primaries–that is, Jewish voters, who make up five percent of the electorate here and who, as the New York Times reports this morning, have been especially susceptible to the false “Obama is a pro-Palestinian, un-American Muslim” rumors that have swamped the state in the absence of any actual Democratic campaign....

The goals flew in early and often at the Allianz Arena, as Serge Gnabry opened the scoring in the fourth minute on his way to a hat-trick. Five other Bayern players chipped in with goals in the 2020-21 season opener: Leon Goretzka, Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane and Jamal Musiala.
