Paris St-Germain block Real Madrid move for Carlo Ancelotti

Paris St-Germain have rejected an approach from Real Madrid for the French club's coach, Carlo Ancelotti.

"Real came and I discussed it with them," said PSG president Nasser al Khelaifi. "He's got a contract for one more year. For me he's here next year."

Current Real boss Jose Mourinho has been strongly linked with a return to former club Chelsea this summer.

“I can't say if I will leave or stay. I haven't talked to the president yet”

Carlo Ancelotti PSG boss

Meanwhile, Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has pledged his future to French champions PSG.

Ancelotti, who was sacked by Chelsea in May 2009 after a trophy-less season, led PSG to their first national title since 1994 at the weekend.

They clinched the Ligue 1 title with a 1-0 away win at Lyon on Sunday and afterwards Ancelotti stressed he had not made a decision about his future.

"We are going to talk with the club," said the Italian. "I can't say if I will leave or stay. I haven't talked to the president yet."

Npower Championship Play Off Final

On Monday 27th May at 3pm Watford FC will play Crystal Palace FC at Wembley Stadium in what is now known as the richest game of football worth an estimated jackpot of ÂŁ110m up for grabs to the winner.

To reach the final Crystal Palace drew 0-0 at home to Brighton before winning 2-0 in the reverse fixture with both goals coming from Manchester United bound Wilfried Zaha. Watford lost their first leg away to Leicester 1-0 before leading 2-1 heading into the 95th minute at the home fixture. Referee Michael Oliver awarded a very debatable penalty to Leicester when Marco Cassetti was adjudged to have fouled Anthony Knockaert. Knockaert missed the penalty himself before Watford hit a counter attack with Troy Deeney, who started the season in prison, applying the finishing touch to send them to Wembley.

Both teams have had the same fortunes this season going through very good, and sometimes bad, form. Before their 2-0 win over Brighton on Monday evening Palace had only won 1 of their last 8 games, a 3-2 victory over Peterborough on the final day of the season. Watford started off slow but rapidly started to gather pace before being denied an automatic place on the final day of the season, losing 2-1 at home to Leeds.

In the first game of this season Watford beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park with 2 very late goals coming from Almen Abdi, Watford's Player of the Season, and Matej Vydra. On Friday 8th February at Vicarage Road it was Crystal Palace's turn to pull the game back by scoring 2 goals in 4 minutes by Ramage and Kevin Phillips to tie the game 2-2 after Watford scored twice inside the first 15 minutes. During this game Ian Holloway was very critical of Watford's loan policy which will add a little more incentive to this game for the Hornets.

For this game Palace will be without 30 goal Glenn Murray but will still be a very threatening force going forward with the likes of Zaha, Bolasie and Jedinak. Watford will be without young defender Tommie Hoban, who featured in the early parts of the season, due to a leg injury.

My Score Prediction - 3-1 to my team.....Watford FC

Latest Odds - Watford 27/20 with SportingBet, Draw 15/7 with Betdaq and Crystal Palace 47/23 on Betfair.

My only concern is lack of established forward in the team, Muzza has been up front basically the whole season, I think Wilbraham has started three or something and with KPhillips being like 600 years old he doesn't have the legs for a full game whereas Watford have Vydra who is very dangerous. We're underdogs but that's how we like it and in a final's scenario anything can happen.

It sounds good in adverts and headlines. That's why.
