AS Roma
AS Roma are one of the biggest and most historic clubs in Serie A, but they have not been hugely successful in recent years. I Giallorossi do not tend to challenge for the Scudetto and often fall short of finishing the top four of Serie A. However, things could be different under Jose Mourinho.
Under former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager Mourinho last season, Roma won the UEFA Europa Conference League. And they are now fourth in the Serie A table with 41 points from …
Chelsea capped an excellent week in style with an entertaining 3-1 Premier League win at Leicester City, who ended the game with 10 men.
The Blues midweek win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League served to greatly ease the pressure on Graham Potter, and he was given more reason to cheer at the King Power Stadium.
Former Leicester full-back Ben Chilwell gave Chelsea the lead in the 11th minute, and although Patson Daka levelled for the hosts, Kai Havertz s superb sixth league goal of the season restored the advantage.
Mateo Kovacic made sure of the points with a stunning third, providing further evidence a Chelsea team who added several players in January may finally be starting to click.
Kova great goals!

Antonio Conte has no illusions about the challenge he faces in trying to return Tottenham to the top of the table.
Spurs sit ninth in the Premier League, with five wins and five losses from 10 games this season ahead of Sunday s trip to Goodison Park to face 10th-placed Everton.
Tottenham have not finished a season atop the top flight since 1991, and Conte acknowledged Friday his side must be ready to earn their ascent.
I know that we need to take a bit of time because in the Premier League now there is a gap with at least four teams, Conte said. But this situation must be an incentive for us to work harder, to try to start to work to close this gap and to start to think that we have to be competitive and then to try to fight for the title.

France have the quality to win Euro 2016, but may find it difficult to handle the pressure of playing at home, according to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

Mohamed Salah made a piece of Champions League history with his quickfire hat-trick in Liverpool s 7-1 thrashing of Rangers on Wednesday, scoring the fastest ever treble in the competition.
Just six minutes and 12 seconds separated Salah s first and third goals in Liverpool s comeback win, the shortest timeframe ever recorded in the Champions League.
Salah s hat-trick saw him eclipse the efforts of former Bayern Munich hero Robert Lewandowski, who has scored two of the five fastest trebles in Champions League history.
Lewandowski required 11 minutes and seven seconds to hit a treble against Red Star Belgrade in November 2019, an achievement he bettered against Salzburg in March this year, when he scored three times in 10 minutes and 22 seconds.
