The Southampton manager is furious at the contentious Liverpool penalty call.

Ivan Juric, manager of Southampton, feels Liverpool should have been given a penalty in the second half of their 3-1 loss at Anfield on Saturday. Will Smallbone gave the Saints an unexpected lead in stoppage time of the first half, but Darin Nunez quickly erased the lead. Mo Salah scored two penalty penalties in the second half to give Liverpool the victory, but Juric thought the first one was unfair. There didn't appear to be much in the area as Smallbone and Nunez collided, but referee Lewis Smith gave the penalty. Juric, the Southampton manager, is furious at Liverpool's penalty call. "They responded quite well," Juric said to BBC Sport. "We had some excellent first-half situations. The match was altered, in my opinion, by the [first] penalty, which was not a penalty. I'm happy with the way we performed today. "This can never be a punishment. Since it was 1-1 and somewhat altered the outcome, I apologize for what happened. Many of our yo...

5 spicy fixtures to watch this weekend 🌶.


Five of the best football matches to watch this weekend, including an unexpected top-four clash in the Premier League and Antonio Conte's reunion with his former club.

Bournemouth versus Nottingham Forest.


Few predicted a Champions League shootout in preseason, but the Premier League's surprise packages will face off this weekend. Forest have won seven of their previous eight games and are level on points with second-placed Arsenal, while Bournemouth are undefeated in ten and soaring under Andoni Iraola.

Will the Cherries' high-intensity football triumph? Or will Forest find delight on the counter? It's an enthralling matchup between two teams dreaming of European evenings.

The fact that it is set at 3 p.m. on Saturday is criminal. Do better, broadcasters.

Atletico Madrid versus Villarreal.

Atletico Madrid lost first place in La Liga last weekend after a shocking defeat against Leganes. Though their winning streak was broken, Atleti rebounded in Europe to defeat Bayer Leverkusen in a wild match.

Julian Alvarez has been in excellent shape since returning from the winter break, and he will take on the Yellow Submarine this weekend. Villarreal are just outside the top four and defeated European rivals Mallorca 4-0 on Monday night.

RB Leipzig versus Bayer Leverkusen.


Two of Germany's heavyweights will face off tomorrow when RB Leipzig hosts Bayer Leverkusen.

Leipzig's porous defence has proved expensive this season, and the hosts are currently below the Champions League spots. Leipzig lost a three-goal lead last weekend, drawing with Bochum despite allowing all three shots on goal.

An delayed midweek win in Europe was the right response, while Leverkusen came into Leipzig having lost in the Champions League.

The Bundesliga champions will be looking to exact revenge on Leipzig, the only team to defeat Leverkusen domestically in the last 18 months. Leipzig broke Leverkusen's remarkable 43-game unbeaten streak in August, and Xabi Alonso's side has yet to lose in domestic play since.

Manchester City versus Chelsea.

Manchester City will face Chelsea in a match that might have consequences for their Champions League hopes. Fifth hosts fourth in the Premier League, with both clubs eager to improve on recent performances.

City's recent renaissance came to a stop in midweek when Pep Guardiola's team blew a 2-0 lead and lost to Paris Saint-Germain. Familiar vulnerabilities were revealed, and Chelsea will seek to replicate that performance at the Etihad. It's a story-driven battle, with Chelsea stacked with former Manchester City players.

Enzo Maresca was on Guardiola's coaching staff, and Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho, and Tosin Adarabioyo are all expected to face up against their former club.

Napoli versus Juventus.


Napoli grabbed control of the title race last weekend with a dramatic victory over Atalanta.

Antonio Conte is chasing the Scudetto with his third different team, having previously won league titles with Juventus and Inter Milan. He'll face his former squad this weekend when Juventus visits Naples.

Turin is in fifth place but has yet to lose a league game this season. Thiago Motta's team has drawn 13 of its 21 games. If Napoli can defeat their obstinate opponents, their title chances will improve.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
