Cristiano Ronaldo banned for five matches for pushing referee during win over Barcelona 

Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for five games after he was sent off in Real Madrid's 3-1 win against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup first leg on Sunday.
He was given a one-match ban for being shown two yellow cards and a further four for pushing the referee in the back after he had been sent off.
The bookings at the Nou Camp were for taking off his shirt to celebrate his goal to make it 2-1 and for a dive.
He will miss Wednesday's second leg.
Ronaldo, 32, will have 10 days to appeal.
The Portugal international will be able to play in the Champions League but will not return to domestic action until 20 September against Real Betis.
Madrid had already signalled their intent to appeal against Ronaldo's second yellow card shown for diving eight minutes from time when he went down inside the area under pressure from Samuel Umtiti.
"Ronaldo's sending-off annoys me because even if it is not a penalty, the card is harsh," said Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane after the game. "We will see if we can do something so that he is available on Wednesday."
Ronaldo was only on the field for 24 minutes as he was introduced as a second-half substitute and fired into the top corner 10 minutes from time to give Madrid a 2-1 lead.
It was Ronaldo's 10th red card of his career and the two yellow cards on Sunday came within two minutes.
"Once shown the red card, said player (Ronaldo) pushed me lightly as a sign of his disapproval," the referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea wrote in his post-match report.
The games Ronaldo will miss...
Barcelona (h) - Spanish Super Cup - 16 August
Deportivo La Coruna (a) - La Liga - 20 August
Valencia (h) - La Liga - 27 August
Levante (h) - La Liga - 9 September
Real Sociedad (a) La Liga - 17 September

Analysis

The message they've got to send out is it's unacceptable to push a match official.
If I'm walking down the high street in my town I can't go pushing a policeman.
There is nothing to excuse what Ronaldo did.
We cannot accept this at any cost.


Diego Costa: Chelsea forward's behaviour is disgraceful, says Ian Wright

Chelsea forward Diego Costa's refusal to return to training is "disgraceful", says former Arsenal striker Ian Wright.
The 28-year-old, who is currently in his native Brazil, said he has been treated like a "criminal" and wants to join former club Atletico Madrid.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte texted Costa in June to say he was not in his plans, but Costa says he has been told to return and train with the reserves.
"I don't understand how players can get away with that behaviour," said Wright.
Spain striker Costa was given extra time off by Chelsea last month, but now claims he is being fined for his absence and is considering legal action or seeing out the remaining year of his contract unpaid in Brazil.
The Blues expect Costa to return immediately, resume training, get himself match fit and put himself in contention for selection, because he is still contracted to the club.
"It's disgraceful the way he is behaving," Wright told BBC Radio 5 live's The Monday Night Club.
"Surely he's got to come back here, so if the manager changes his mind he's there. He's earning a fortune at Chelsea. Can Atletico Madrid even afford him?"
  • Podcast: Costa situation discussed on Monday Night Club
  • Why Conte should be fearing for his job
  • Costa told he could leave in January, says Conte
Costa, who last played for Chelsea in the FA Cup final in May, joined the Blues from Atletico Madrid in 2014 and has won two Premier League titles and the League Cup with the London club.
In January, he was left out of the side for an away match at Leicester after he was involved in a dispute with a fitness coach.
It followed reports of an offer from China that would have been worth £30m a year in salary.
"Why won't they let me go if they don't want me?" he told the Daily Mail on Monday.
"In January, things happened with the coach. I was on the brink of renewing my contract and they put the brakes on it. I suspect the manager was behind it. He asked for that to happen.
"His ideas are very fixed and clear. I have seen the sort of person he is. He has his own opinion and that will not change."


"Antonio Conte has told me by message that I do not follow at Chelsea and that's it. Conte said he did not count on me for next season," said Costa in June.

That came after the Italian manager had sent a text to his players wishing them a good holiday and telling them to stay fit and Costa replied in a jokey way.
But Wright says he cannot understand why Chelsea would want to get rid of a forward who scored 20 goals in 35 Premier League games to help the Blues win the Premier League last season.
"Something has happened," added Wright, who played 33 times for England.
"For them to want to get rid of that kind of player, I can't understand how that's come about. I can't understand why you would get rid of definitely 20 goals? It doesn't make sense to me."
Following the text message exchange with Conte, Costa said "I love to live in Madrid", despite Atletico being banned from signing players until the January transfer window.
"Why does it seem he is holding all the cards? He genuinely wants to go, but only wants to go to Atletico Madrid," added Wright.
"If Chelsea want to get rid of him and get bids for a player they don't want, they're not going to take them?
"I would like to see the text. Show us the text. Then I don't blame him, because I would have the hump over that."
Costa said: "I have not deleted the message. If people accuse me of lying, I can show them. It was clear, saying that he didn't count on me and wishing me the best for the future. Full stop."
Former Chelsea and Republic of Ireland midfielder Andy Townsend says Conte telling Costa he is not wanted at the club is like Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham telling their star forwards not to return.
"Something else is going on," he said. "There's no logic from Chelsea's point of view to get rid of him.
"You don't send him a text and say 'off you pop, we don't want you to come back'. They don't do that. They don't just turn round with one of their main components and say 'go and find a new club'.
"It's like Jose Mourinho saying to Zlatan Ibrahimovic before he was injured, Arsene Wenger saying to Alexis Sanchez, Tottenham saying to Harry Kane 'don't come back'. It's the hardest thing to do, score goals, and you cannot afford to be that flippant with players like that."

Premier League: Transfer window change to be voted on by clubs   
Image result for epl managers meeting
Premier League clubs are discussing plans to close the summer transfer window before the start of the season next year.
The current window, in line with many other European leagues, closes on 31 August, almost three weeks after the start of the Premier League season.
A vote is set to take place at the next shareholders meeting on 7 September.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Swansea boss Paul Clement are among those to have called for a change.
Fifa regulations state the transfer window should close by 1 September, or as near as practical if it clashes with a weekend.
This has been a particular problem this season, with the future of several high-profile players who are expected to move between Premier League clubs - including Southampton's Virgil van Dijk, Swansea's Gylfi Sigurdsson and Everton's Ross Barkley - unresolved.
None played in the opening round of fixtures last weekend.
"A better situation would be if the transfer window closed before the start of the season," Clement said.
"I don't really understand why it goes to the end of August. I know there's talks about that changing in future. That's my opinion that it should do."
Under the proposals, Premier League sides would not be able to add to their squads once the season begins.
However, clubs from other European leagues could sign players from England in line with their own domestic deadlines.
Klopp said: "An earlier transfer deadline day would have helped us this year.
"In general, it makes sense that when the season starts that the planning is over."
The January transfer window would not be affected by the proposed changes.

Analysis

BBC Sport's Simon Stone
As with all issues affecting the Premier League, it will need 14 clubs to vote in favour before any change can be made.
It is a complicated scenario, not least because it has the potential to put England's top-flight teams at a disadvantage because rivals across Europe will be active for up to three weeks after the Premier League window has closed.
The plan would have no power to prevent a club such as Barcelona targeting Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho - as they have done this summer - for instance.
As Europe's major leagues all start at different points - France was a week before England, with Spain, Italy and Germany a week after - a Europe-wide change is not going to happen.
There is also the potential for clubs who do not agree - Watford are said to be against it - or agents to mount a legal challenge.
However, the disruption caused by the continuation of the transfer window beyond the start of the season has become so great, and started to affect so many teams, the feeling that something has to be done has begun to take hold.
It will certainly be an interesting topic for discussion on 7 September.

Lazio Stun Juventus in 3-2 Thriller to Win Italian Super Cup

Lazio and Juventus served up a spectacular curtain-raiser to the Italian domestic season with the former beating the Serie A champions 3-2 in the 2017 Super Cup.
Ciro Immobile opened the scoring from the penalty spot as Lazio overcame a rocky start to take the upper hand before half-time. He doubled the lead after the break with a smart header, but Paulo Dybala pulled a goal back with a fantastic free-kick.
A late penalty saw the Argentinian tie things up, but Alessandro Murgia found a winner deep in injury time to claim a deserved win for Lazio.
Here's a look at the two teams that started the Super Cup: 
JuventusFC 
    
Juventus XI: Buffon; Barzagli, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanic; Cuadrado, Dybala, Mandzukic; Higuain   


Lazio XI: Strakosha; Wallace, de Vrij, Radu; Basta, Parolo, Leiva, Luis Alberto, Lulic; Milinkovic, Immobile




The Italian champions nearly took the lead minutes into the contest as Alex Sandro teed up Juan Cuadrado with a great cross and goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha somehow made a spectacular save with his legs.

Less than two minutes later, the Albania international again had to be at his best, this time to deny Gonzalo Higuain. Sports writer Richard Hall was impressed after the 22-year-old made yet another stop: 

Lazio survived the fast start and settled down, but they didn't come close to threatening Gianluigi Buffon early, with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic sending an overhead kick into the face of Medhi Benatia.
The Rome side were the better team for the bulk of the first half, however, and earned a penalty after Cuadrado clumsily lost the ball and Buffon was forced to bring down Immobile. The striker converted the spot-kick himself.
Vince Van Genechten of Het Nieuwsblad blamed the goal on Cuadrado: 
Buffon had to intervene immediately after to deny Lazio a second goal, with Lucas Leiva and Dusan Basta both going close.
Leiva was lucky he only got a yellow card for a nasty tackle on Cuadrado shortly before half-time, but Lazio held on to their deserved lead.
Bleacher Report's Adam Digby noted the Juventus team reminded him of the one he saw in the disappointing UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid: 
The Bianconeri started the half on the front foot, but chances were scarce, with Cuadrado having a shot blocked and Dybala nearly reaching a smart pass from Higuain. 
Out of nowhere, Immobile powered home a header over Buffon to double the advantage in the 54th minute, to the delight of sports writer David Amoyal, who noted the perfect assist from rising star Milinkovic-Savic:
