In that last game against Chelsea, Arsenal weren't at the level Arteta needed them to be. They are more used to the training intensity now and they might have adapted more fitness-wise.

However, he added the "remaining games have to be played and I'm sure other teams around us will feel the same".

Sevilla sat deep, often playing with five at the back, and it proved effective as Barcelona saw lots of the ball but failed to create many clear-cut opportunities. Messi's free-kick was the closest they came, and Luis Suarez' first-time strike almost sneaked in minutes before full-time, but Sevilla had bursts of attacking promise - Ocampos and Munir El Haddadi forcing two smart saves from Ter Stegen from close range in the first half.

The Uruguayan was said to be on Chelsea and United’s ‘radar’, but both look set to miss out on arguably the most attractive forward option available. Therefore, as the clock ticks down the search could get frantic.

An opportunity, therefore, to look back on some of the highs and lows experienced by Northern Ireland players on cup final day over the last 40 years. Huge upset for Jennings and co As Northern Ireland contingents in FA Cup finals go, Arsenal's squad in the 1980 showpiece against West Ham had one of the biggest.

The 25-year-old has scored six goals in his last 15 games, including two against League One side Oxford in the Carabao Cup.

Asked what could ease the fixture burden, the City boss replied: "Fewer games, fewer competitions, fewer teams.

We got our two goals and it was very comfortable but did we push on from that and create and score more goals? No, we didn't and I would've liked to have scored some more.

Real, despite finishing third in La Liga, qualified because Barcelona won La Liga and finished runner-ups in the Copa del Rey. Zinedine Zidane's side, who are second in La Liga on goal difference, dominated from the start and had 17 attempts on goal at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. Their margin of victory could have been bigger as Isco's header hit the post before Luka Jovic's rebound from two yards out was blocked by Domenech.
He is a big player in the making. If he keeps working hard he has a great chance. Burnley boss Sean Dyche: "Chelsea were too strong. We're a little bit stretched at the minute. We set about it quite well in the first half. We calmed it down after going behind but the second goal - if you look at the build-up James Tarkowski is pushed in the back. That's a really import moment. At 3-0 Chelsea are too comfortable.
This match is from the French ligue 1 and we have Nimes playing host to Nantes. The team of Nimes is currently 19th position, they have gotten just 1 point in their last 5 matches but still I feel they would win this match

The reaction is that football doesn’t want a goal disallowed for a nose offside. But before technology you couldn’t see if the nose was offside," he added.

Others feel 30 June would be a good time to stop given the contractual wrangles that will surface after that date.
