Messi absent from 'Clasico' match. Mourinho banned from coaching

Messi is absent from the “Clásico”. Ronaldo may leave Real Madrid. Mourinho is banned from directing the match between Chelsea and Stoke this weekend. Those are the highlights of the morning of November 3, 2015.

Messi absent from the "Clasico" match

Sport newspaper said that Messi will not recover in time to play in Barca's "Clasico" match against Real Madrid on November 22. Messi suffered a ligament injury in his left knee in the match against Las Palmas in September and was diagnosed with a 2-month treatment and recovery period. Sport said that Messi's recovery process is a week slower than expected and he is not fit enough to return to play in the upcoming match against Real Madrid. This is certainly very bad news for Luis Enrique and the Barca coaching staff because they really need Leo in this important match.

Ronaldo may leave Real Madrid

The Portuguese superstar himself confirmed that he could leave the Bernabeu one day. Ronaldo still has a long-term contract with Madrid but rumors that he could leave still appear regularly in the press. Man United and PSG are the two teams most linked with CR7 in recent times. “One day I could leave Real Madrid. Why not? You can’t say for sure what will happen tomorrow. The important thing is that you just do what you like. How do I know if in the future I will still like playing at the Bernabeu?”

Manuel Pellegrini: “Man City will not draw with Sevilla”

Manager Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that Man City will visit Sevilla in the Champions League group stage tonight with the aim of winning. City beat Sevilla 2-1 in the first leg with a last-minute winner from De Bruyne. A win tonight could even help the English team take the lead in Group D if Juventus cannot take all 3 points at M'Gladbach. If Juve and City both win, both teams will qualify for the round of 16 after this match. "There is no way we are playing for a draw. Man City must play to win, must fight for the top spot and the ticket to the next round," Mr. Pellegrini emphasized.

Mourinho banned from Chelsea vs Stoke City match

The FA has fined Jose Mourinho £40,000 and banned him from the Chelsea side for their game against Stoke City this weekend. The Portuguese coach made inappropriate comments to the referee during Chelsea's defeat to West Ham. Chelsea have lost six games this season and Mourinho's future at the Bridge is now in doubt. The chances of him reviving the Blues are slim as the atmosphere in the dressing room is tense. Mourinho seems to be unpopular with some of his players and confidence in the Blues is low.

Max Allegri unsure how far Juventus can go in Champions League

Although Juventus are leading Group D in the Champions League, which is considered the "group of death" after the draw, Mr. Max Allegri did not confirm which stage Juve can enter the Champions League this season. "Last season we were successful in the Champions League because I think Juve had optimal physical and mental strength. This season it is difficult to say how far we can go. Now Juve has to calculate each match. Juve has not passed the group stage yet. It is certainly not easy because we have to play 3 more matches. Juve still need to earn more points. The situation in Group D is still open."
