The decision, which was also made in conjunction with the competing clubs from the respective groups, is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and well-being of all participating players and teams," the AFC said in a statement.
Of course the Champions League is an aim but there are a lot of good teams and a lot of games to come," he said. I value playing more now - it is something I had lost, the feeling of being a footballer. After being off the pitch for two seasons I enjoy it a lot more. I have to be realistic and know there is not much time left in my career so I have to enjoy it while I can. I hope to be part of the squad for the Euros.

Rumours of angered players forced to arrange high-intensity, secret training sessions behind Ancelotti's back spread like wildfire. Supposed quotes from players criticising the Italian's relaxed methods were vehemently denied but, according to what club president Uli Hoeness told Radio FFH after sacking the manager, Ancelotti had turned five important players against him. As Ancelotti explained in an interview with Kicker: "I'm not a coach, who kills his players in training.
Where’s the desire? Where’s the identity? The brand Wenger produced there has ebbed away. If the manager doesn't survive this, he will look back at this as the beginning of the end. It looked like [the players] were making the decisions. Confidence has ebbed away completely. No snap in their play, no real direction.
Odds are dropping on the guests, but the hosts who finished just 6 points above the only relegation place in the league last season have to give credit to Liepaja for not relegating in the end as they won 12 out of 12 points from Liepaja last season beating them in all 4 games played against them and it was also the reason why Liepaja did not finish on an Europa League place missing once more on that competition.
Inter Milan are expected to play their home Europa League last-32 match against Ludogorets behind closed doors because of fears about the spread of coronavirus. Inter were one of four Serie A clubs to postpone their weekend game.

With 165, Italy has the largest number of cases of the virus in Europe.
Not since 1975 have they won 15 or more top-flight matches. It was also another clean sheet which means Burnley keeper Nick Pope takes his tally to 15 - the most of any keeper in the league. He had a quiet evening but reacted well to a late effort from Onel Hernandez which deflected off a defender, and kept out a diving header from Godfrey in the first half. Pope is on course to become the first goalkeeper from a club outside the established 'big six' to win the Golden Glove award, and team-mate Wood told Sky Sports afterwards they would be "fighting like hell" to help him achieve it.

Liverpool would win the title and Leicester and Chelsea would go into the Champions League along with either Manchester City or United depending on how City’s appeal against their European ban goes. Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich would go down. BBC Sport has looked back over the previous 10 Premier League seasons to see how much has changed in the final nine games to get a sense of whether those matches actually tend to impact on the table.
Emboldened by the goal, the visitors enjoyed a brief period of dominance but soon found themselves under the cosh again as Everton poured forward looking for an equaliser.

If Uefa manage to stage the remaining ties, Tuchel would have to mould his side into shape - mentally and physically - for potentially five top-grade matches with no competitive football in their legs between now and the end of August when the Champions League final might be staged.

Mansfield have only kept clean sheets in 22% of their home games and Cheltenham have kept clean sheets in 56% of their away games, which adds weight to our prediction for a 1-0 away win on Saturday.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline between the pair of 0-0. The hosts have been almost as poor at home as their guests have on the road, with Tondela securing 5pts in 7 home games and Moreirense picking up 3pts from their eight matches on the road. Both teams head into the match in poor form and goals have been an issue for both clubs as Todnela have failed to score in three of their last six matches and Moreirense have failed to score in their last two away games.

Indeed, Argentinos are only behind Boca on goal difference and a win on Saturday would see them go top once again.

Western Sydney Wanderers come into this weekend’s match well rested after Markus Babbel’s side had a bye round last week. This should be a benefit to them, with their opponents facing a tough Brisbane Roar side last time out and having a week’s less rest. The season has started well for Wanderers, as they have conceded the least amount of goals in the A-League this season and lost just once. This represents a tough test for them, though, and they enter the game as slight outsiders despite the home advantage.
For City, the relief at having gone through will be tempered with a little concern. They’ll be strong favourites against Villa in the final, of course. But with the title gone, it’s the Champions League that will save this season. And that’s going to involve negotiating two-legged ties against teams a lot better than United.

Arteta was in a buoyant mood but also a realistic one as he made it clear he wants serious backing in the transfer market, responding when asked about funds: "I don't know. It's a big concern. You need to build a squad. It's not magic. You need to improve with quality, quality players in the squad, and you need bigger squads to compete in this competition. There's the challenge. Arsenal spent more than £135m last summer, breaking their transfer record to sign forward Pepe from Lille for £72m - but Arteta wants his own stamp on this team.
