The German believes the Champions League triumph can be the start of a trophy-laden period for Liverpool.


He said: “Now we won something and we will carry on. We want to win things, 100 per cent. I’ve said it, this is only the start for this group.


“It’s still a wonderful age group, they all have the best times in their careers ahead of them so that’s big.”

Former Premier League ref Peter Walton admits Mike Dean DOES celebrate goals

Former Premier League ref Peter Walton admits Mike Dean DOES celebrate goals

Former Premier League referee Peter Walton has admitted Mike Dean does celebrate goals.


Dean, who has refereed in the English top-flight for nearly 20 years, became the first Premier League official to brandish 100 red cards on Tuesday night after sending off Ashley Young.

And in light of Dean’s record, Walton, who retired from officiating in the top-flight in 2012, has claimed no referee goes out to games with the intention to dish out bookings.


“Showing red cards is not something that referees look forward to,” Walton wrote in the Times,


“It’s not part of our makeup — but issuing red cards is part of the game.


“Will it have played on his mind? No, he will have just gone out there and refereed the game between Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.”





Dean has given out 100 red cards

Walton, 59, continued to say fans should appreciate Dean’s high-level game management throughout his career and remarkably admitted that he does, indeed, celebrate goals during matches.


He wrote: “He is a great guy to have within the referees’ group, very relaxed and confident and he is not afraid to show his sense of humour and character on the field.


“Just look at the way he celebrates goals and his pronounced hand signals after he has made big decisions.


“He celebrates the fact that he has contributed to that goal by having the confidence and skill to play an advantage.




MIKE DEAN IN NUMBERS






– Dean’s first Premier League red card was dished out to Newcastle’s Nolberto Solano in their 1-0 defeat to Ipswich in April 2001


– His 100th red card was handed out to Ashley Young for a second yellow card in Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat at Wolves on Tuesday night


– Dean has sent five players off twice: Andy Cole (Fulham and Man City), Fernando Torres (Chelsea), Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal), Mike Williamson (Newcastle) and Richard Dunne (Manchester City)


– The teams with the most dismissals are Chelsea and Manchester City, with nine red cards a piece


– Elsewhere, Newcastle have 7, Arsenal 6, Stoke, Spurs and West Brom 5


– Dean has shown two red cards in 12 different league games, and has twice shown three red cards in one match:


*West Brom 1-1 Fulham (Diop, Clement, Cole) Sep 2004


*Man City 1-2 Spurs (Fernandes, Dunne, Assou-Ekotto) Nov 2008


In total, Dean has sent 94 players from 33 different teams for an early bath.


51 of his century were straight reds, 49 were for second yellows


– The 2018-19 campaign has been his busiest season yet, with 10 dismissals.


– Dean sent off nine players in 2007-2008 and 2015-16.


– Aside from his first two seasons, 2010-2011 saw his lowest total with two.







“When you make a great decision you get a warm glow inside; some people have to punch the air or clench their fist and Mike is one of those people.


“Mike has a confident nature and can openly show his emotions and I think good for him. He is celebrating the goal for the good of football and the good of his own performance.


“There are just a few referees around the world who display that and Mike is one of them and that’s why he is still at the top after 19 years.”

Dean has been one of the Premier League’s most recognisable figures since the early 2000s – and he is miles ahead in the all-time red card race, with no other official reaching 60 yet.


While his career has been laden with controversy, he enjoyed a relatively quiet night on Tuesday as Wolves dealt a huge blow to Man United̢۪s top-four hopes.

Lionel Messi: Barcelona superstar is at his best ever, but can Argentina finally do him justice with their new talents?

Lionel Messi: Barcelona superstar is at his best ever, but can Argentina finally do him justice with their new talents?

It is a testament to Lionel Messi̢۪s greatness that even now, hundreds of wonderful goals into an astonishingly consistent career, he can still make us get off our seats.


Either of the No.10̢۪s first and second goals against Real Betis last weekend would have been the best strike of the season for a normal player. For Messi they were just the warm-up to something unbelievable, a finish that by now the entire world has seen ten times over, and that is unfathomable to even think up, let alone execute.





Lionel Messi scored his 51st career hat-trick at the weekend

The cruel irony though is that just as Messi is entering the most complete phase of his career, he is also entering the last. The forward will turn 32 this year, and even for an apparent super-human like him, the time left at his absolute best is not unlimited.


This feels particularly relevant as he this week rejoins the Argentina squad for the first time in nine months. The opening steps in the final push to earn the international trophy that has evaded him, despite dragging his country to three international finals. Is there any hope?


Much has certainly changed since Messi last pulled on the Argentina shirt, when the South American nation went out in the Round of 16 at Russia 2018.

Most obviously, divisive Jorge Sampaoli has been replaced by the youthful energy of untested Lionel Scaloni. There is also a more youthful feel to the squad that has been picked to face Venezuela and Morocco in forthcoming March friendlies.


Gone are veterans Javier Mascherano (34) and Lucas Biglia (33), who have retired from international duty following the World Cup, while the likes of Éver Banega (30) and Enzo Pérez (33) simply weren’t picked.


Instead, it̢۪s hoped that a fresh, energetic group of talent can solve the midfield puzzle that has persistently plagued Messi̢۪s Argentina.















â€Å“The midfield has been the national team’s major problem,” Argentinian football expert Manu Vieyra explains to talkSPORT. â€Å“Not since Juan Román Riquelme has there been a creative figure to help Messi break lines, and free Lio from doing too much work, having to drop deep to get the ball, create the move, play the pass then score the goal. That’s impossible even for Messi.”


â€Å“The three midfielders everyone thinks will help him are Giovani Lo Celso, Leandro Paredes and Exequiel Palacios. All three are looking good, have a lot of quality and they’re young,” he adds, noting that the long-term goal is to prepare the best team possible for Messi’s last World Cup at Qatar 2022.

Lo Celso in action against Mexico last season.



But while Copa Libertadores winner Palacios (who has repeatedly been linked with Real Madrid) will likely require a move to Europe before consolidating his development, the other two are further down the road. In particular, Lo Celso, who has been one of the outstanding signings of the season in La Liga for Real Betis, the Andalucians bringing him in on a loan with an option to buy from PSG last summer.


Lo Celso is a box-to-box midfielder with 12 goals and four assists to his name in 2018/19, and Messi got to see just how good his compatriot is up close when the youngster was the key architect in Betis̢۪ stunning 4-3 win over Barcelona at the Camp Nou in November. And Messi didn̢۪t forget, judging by the way he upped his game to down Betis in last weekend̢۪s return fixture.


There is quality in other lines of the pitch too, and in particular, developments at full-back are encouraging. Linking up with like-minded footballers in those areas has always been important for Messi̢۪s game at club level, be it Dani Alves or more recently Jordi Alba, and Argentina may finally have such a figure in Nicolas Tagliafico. The left-back has scored five and assisted five more in 2018/19, including three goals in the Champions League, where he recently passed a huge test by helping the Dutch giants to eliminate Real Madrid from the competition in comprehensive fashion.





Tagliafico had the unenviable task of marking Kylian Mbappe at last year’s World Cup.

â€Å“Tagliafico isn’t just expected to be important, he’s a potential Argentina captain in the future. He’s the boss at left-back. Versatile, does great on the wing, and one of the big hopes for Argentinian football is that he can link up with Messi in a similar way to Alba,” Vieyra affirms.


â€Å“The idea is to finally build a team around our No.10 that can get back to competing, and work with the new generation for the 2022 World Cup. That’s the big goal, Qatar 2022,” he concludes.


And even if much could still change in the three years between now and Messi̢۪s last attempt to take international football̢۪s most prestigious prize, we should get a chance to look at how his new group of team-mates fares far sooner.

Arsene Wenger EXCLUSIVE: Former Arsenal boss explains why Henrikh Mkhitaryan saga makes him ‘uncomfortable’

Arsene Wenger EXCLUSIVE: Former Arsenal boss explains why Henrikh Mkhitaryan saga makes him ‘uncomfortable’

Arsene Wenger’s mind was left boggled by the circumstances which have led to Henrikh Mkhitaryan being unable to play for Arsenal in their Europa League final against Chelsea.


Mkhitaryan, the Armenia captain, will not travel to Baku due to fears over his safety in Azerbaijan.


Armenia and Azerbaijan have a political conflict dating back to the fall of the Soviet Empire in 2017, and despite UEFA’s assurances, the player decided not to take the risk.


And former Gunners boss Wenger, who brought Mkhitaryan to Arsenal, struggles to understand how such an issue could occur in 2019.

Mkhitaryan will miss the Baku showpiece due to political reasons


When asked by talkSPORT how the situation makes him feel, he replied: “Very uncomfortable.


“You would not think in 2019 a club will miss a player for political reason in Europe, you know?


“It’s different to understand.”











UEFA’s decision to host the final in Baku has been heavily scrutinised following the Mkhitaryan saga.


Fans are also refusing to make the trip due to expensive and gruelling logistics.


Neither Chelsea nor Arsenal will sell anywhere near their 6,000 allocation in the 67,000-seater stadium – and Wenger will not be attending either.


“How will I watch it? On television,” he added.

Arsene Wenger spoke exclusively to talkSPORT


“I will not be in Baku because I have commitments that I accepted and I will have to respect that.


“So I will watch it on television and I will be in Madrid for the big final.”


Nonetheless, Wenger remains a die-hard Arsenal fan.


It’s a year since he called time on his 22-year reign in north London – and his next move still remains unclear.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri makes remarkable claim that Carabao Cup is HARDER than Champions League

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri claims the strength of the Premier League means the Carabao Cup is HARDER than the Champions League.


The Blues are fighting to qualify for Europe’s premier cup competition, and they can take a huge step forward with a defeat of Burnley this evening.





Sarri is hoping to lead Chelsea back into the Champions League

Sarri is hoping to lead Chelsea back into the Champions League



Victory would move Chelsea into third place, three points clear of Arsenal and two ahead of Tottenham, though both London sides would have a game in hand over the Stamford Bridge outfit.


Chelsea can also qualify for the Champions League by winning this season’s Europa League, a competition in which they have reached the semi-final stage.


Asked if it would be easier to reach the Champions League via the Europa League or the Premier League, Sarri said: “The Premier League is really very difficult, for getting in the final of the League Cup we had to play against Liverpool, against Tottenham, [and] the final against Manchester City.















“It was easier to get to the final of the Champions League.”


Manchester United are also battling to finish in the top four, though Sunday’s defeat by Everton leaves them two points behind Chelsea and their top four hopes hanging by a thread.


United also saw themselves knocked out the Champions League last week, as did their local rivals Manchester City.


Tottenham and Liverpool remain in contention for Ol’ Big Ears, and could even meet in the final if they progress past Ajax and Barcelona respectively.

It would be quite remarkable for an all-English final, but that didn’t stop Sarri questioning the importance placed on the Champions League.

“Of course it is the most important competition for clubs but it is a competition with straight elimination so sometimes you need a post in [the ball to go in off the post] or a post out [the ball to bounce off the post and away] to qualify or to be eliminated.


“It’s clear it’s the most important competition for clubs in Europe, and as a consequence in the world, but it’s a competition in which you need to be lucky.”
