Diego Simeone insists he has no regrets over Atletico Madrid s 2016 form after seeing his side come on strong during the second half of the season.
Four of Atleti s five defeats in Spain s top flight came before the turn of the year, with only leaders Barcelona getting the better of them in 2017 to date.
The Champions League semi-finalists have edged ahead of Sevilla in the battle for third place – a position they have filled for the past two seasons since their 2013-14 LaLiga triumph.
Simeone s men have displayed title-worthy form from January onwards but the Argentine was not pondering what might have been ahead of Tuesday s home match against fifth-placed Villarreal.
Every year brings difficulties that you have to get through, he said. No year is si…
A black political figure later to become president was sentenced to life imprisonment in South Africa, Can t Buy Me Love was number one in Britain, Cassius Clay upset Sonny Liston to win the world heavyweight title, Tokyo staged the 18th Olympic Games and here in Vienna Inter Milan won the Europe Cup.
The year was 1964 and in Spain it will be remembered as the year La Furia Roja were crowned champions of Europe.
Fans would surely have celebrated the title even more enthusiastically if they d known that this was to be their country s one and only trophy in the intervening four-and-a-half decades.
In Vienna on Sunday that title famine could end when a classic Spanish vintage take on Germany in what promises to be a memorable Euro 2008 final.

England suffered their first qualifying defeat in a decade on this day in 2019 as they slipped to a 2-1 loss at the hands of the Czech Republic in Prague.
Gareth Southgate’s men went into the game knowing victory would put them through to Euro 2020 with three matches to spare, and many thought it would be done with ease given the 5-0 thrashing England inflicted on the Czechs at Wembley a few months prior.
More of the same seemed on the cards when Harry Kane slotted home a fifth-minute penalty to put England in the driving seat.
However, the lead lasted just four minutes before the hosts drew level when Jakub Brabec bundled home a corner, and from then on, the Czechs played with increasing confidence as they chased victory at the Sinobo Stadium.

The Bengals offense isn’t lacking for superstar talent, but my NFL player props spotlight can only focus on one player — and I’m looking at the member of Who Dey nation who may shine the brightest of all.
Ja’Marr Chase props are my focus for this AFC Championship rematch with Kansas City, as the second-year wideout has quickly emerged as the most dangerous skill-position player on Cincinnati’s offense… and one of the league’s premier WRs overall.

The San Francisco 49ers head to Minnesota to take on the Vikings on this week’s edition of Monday Night Football. The Niners suffered their first loss last week at the hands of the Browns and now limp into Minnesota with some injury issues to deal with. The Vikings have sputtered out of the gate at just 2-4, but perhaps this game could be the spark that gets their season up and running.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream 49ers/Vikings directly from legal sports betting sites?

The defending champion Kansas City Chiefs’ quest for a third Super Bowl in the past five years continues tonight when they host the Miami Dolphins in the Wild Card Round.
While there’s a clear contrast between this year’s Chiefs and other rosters during the Patrick Mahomes reign, they’ll have the luxury of dealing with an injury-ravaged Dolphins team that’s limping into the playoffs.
Kansas City is favored by four points in the NFL odds while the total for the matchup is sitting at 44.5. This will be a rematch from a Week 9 game in Germany the Chiefs won 21-14. Let’s dig into the matchup, starting with my favorite angle, which I’m building my best bet around.
Read on for my NFL picks for Dolphins vs. Chiefs on S…

My analysis
The Pittsburgh Steelers are improbably 2-0 despite sitting 25th in the NFL in points per game this season (15.5). It’s another Mike Tomlin masterclass with this Justin Fields-led offense being far from potent.
In a similar situation heading into the matchup, the Los Angeles Chargers could be down Justin Herbert, who’s listed as questionable with an ankle injury. Assuming he does pla…
