      Tottenham collapse to 3-2 defeat in secret friendly as they blow 2-0 lead – and Antonio Conte is NOT in charge

      by

      Between dropping points late on at Southampton, Conte’s blistering post-match rant and then reports that the Italian is set to be sacked, there has been no shortage of drama in north London.
      And an international break friendly will have done little to raise the mood as Spurs lost 3-2 to League One Ipswich.
      The friendly at Tottenham’s training ground, Hotspur Way, saw some senior players who were not on international duty take part in a 70 minute game without supporters.
      Encouragingly for Spurs fans, the match saw Hugo Lloris start between the sticks.

      The goalkeeper, who retired from international football earlier this year, had been out since February with a knee injury.
      And his time on the pitch saw Tottenham take a two-goal lead after strikes from Lucas Moura and Japhet Tanganga.
      But after Lloris was subbed off, Spurs conceded three goals and lost the game.
      Conte was absent from the match after he jumped aboard a Ryanair flight and headed home to Italy days after his press conference meltdown.

      Speculation has been rife in recent days that Conte could be set to lose his job.
      The 53-year-old hit out at players and the ownership during his post-Southampton speech in the latest sign that relations at the club had broken down.
      Results have also been up and down in recent weeks with Spurs crashing out of both the FA Cup and Champions League in the space of a week.
      The race for the Champions League places is all that is left of Tottenham’s season and they have a difficult job on their hands to fend off Liverpool, Newcastle and Brighton for fourth place. More

      Champions Bayern are a point adrift of Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
      But they sailed into the Champions League quarter-finals with a 3-0 aggregate triumph over PSG.

      Manchester City await them next month.

      “I don’t see what his motivation could be, beyond facilitating the task for the adversary.”
      Tuchel had been linked with the Spurs job with Antonio Conte said to be facing the sack during the international break.
      He returns to Germany six years after he left Dortmund to take over Paris St-Germain.
      The 49-year-old spent two years in Paris before leaving under a cloud. He spent a year at Chelsea, winning the Champions League, before being sacked by Todd Boehly soon after the American took over the Blues. More

      Barcelona could be BANNED from Europe next season after Uefa chiefs open investigation into referee-fixing charges

      by

      BARCELONA could be BANNED from Europe next season after Uefa chiefs opened a formal probe into the ref-fixing charges against them.Spanish prosecutors had opened a legal case against the Catalan club, who are accused of paying the country’s referees’ chief Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira more than £6.5m over a 17-YEAR period.
      Barcelona moved 12 points clear at the top of LaLiga last weekend but could be in troubleCredit: Getty
      Barcelona are said to have made the payments between 2001 and 2018, including the four-year spell they were coached by Pep Guardiola – although there are no suggestions the Manchester City boss was aware of the agreement.
      But now Uefa is also on the case with a 12-month ban from playing in the Champions League written into the European football rulebook.
      In a surprise statement, Euro chiefs in Nyon announced: “In accordance with Article 31(4) of the Uefa Disciplinary Regulations, Uefa Ethics and Disciplinary Inspectors have today been appointed to conduct an investigation regarding a potential violation of UEFA’s legal framework by FC Barcelona in connection with the so-called ‘Caso Negreira’.”
      Those rules give investigators the right to demand written or face to face answers from directors and officials and the power to order all documentation possessed by the club is handed over for inspection.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Barca and former Presidents Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell, as well as Negreira, have all been hit with official corruption charges by the Spanish authorities.
      It has been alleged that Negreira, who was in charge of refereeing appointments over that period, gave gifts worth £450,000 including booze, toasters, food and lottery tickets to the officials, although Barca have fiercely denied any wrongdoings and issued legal letters against a number of Spanish media outlets. 
      Leaks from the Spanish Treasury initial investigation suggest the chief prosecutor has so far been “unable to prove  that the payments… had influenced the appointment of referees or altered the results of matches”.
      However, officials suggest that the “lack of explanation” could be “an indicator” that the invoices had concealed illegal services that did impact of appointments and match results.

      Unsurprisingly, rival clubs, including Real Madrid, have demanded massive sanctions against the Nou Camp outfit.
      And while Spanish FA rules, which have a three-year statute of limitations on “serious” offences, mean that LaLiga and the national association cannot impose a punishment, Uefa regulations open the door to a ban from European competition if the charges are proved.
      It had been expected that Euro chiefs – who might see the situation as a wedge to drive between Barca and Real over their Super League involvement – would not consider any action until the end of the legal proceedings in Spain.
      But Uefa legal department asked the Spanish FA for a full report on what the investigation has uncovered last month and now have launched their formal probe.
      Uefa regulations say clubs must “refrain from any conduct that damages or is likely to damage the integrity of matches and competitions”.
      That includes anybody using a “third party” to act “in a manner that is likely to exert an illegal or undue influence on the course and/or outcome of a match or competition”.
      Any club breaching that rule is liable to a one season ban from playing in European competition.
      Real have already joined a private prosecution, adding to the pressure on Barca, which has also been told it has a budget of MINUS £200m this summer.

      The opening of the investigation does not mean that the case will be dealt with swiftly as Uefa could still choose to wait for the outcome of the Spanish proceedings.
      But it is yet another shadow hanging over the Catalan club and adds to the sense of chaos surrounding Barca. More

      They were dumped out of the Champions League with a 6-2 aggregate defeat to Real Madrid last week.
      Jurgen Klopp’s side are also out of the FA Cup, which they won last season, and failed to retain the League Cup.
      And now they face a fight for a top four finish with their dismal season leaving them seven points behind fourth-placed Tottenham.
      However, they do have two games in hand and will be battling all the way until the last whistle on the final day to get in the top four.

      But even if Liverpool finish fourth this season, they could yet be denied their spot in the Champions League.
      And they will have Manchester United and Chelsea to blame.
      Uefa rules allow for a maximum of five teams from the same nation to play in the Champions League.
      Chelsea remain in the hunt for a third European crown.

      Meanwhile, United are hoping to go all the way in the Europa League. 
      Should Liverpool finish fourth, and both rivals finish outside the top four while winning their continental competitions, it would see them drop out of the Champions League and into the Europa League.
      By triumphing in Europe, Man Utd and Chelsea would clinch the first two of five places straight away.
      The Premier League’s top three would then take the remaining spots.
      And despite finishing in the top four, the fourth-place side would be denied entry to the Champions League as they would become “team six”.
      It means Klopp and his boys will be keeping their fingers crossed for Real Madrid to beat Chelsea, with United playing fellow Spaniards Sevilla. More
