With the El Classico stealing centre stage this weekend, Barcelona will welcome Real Madrid to Catalonia on Saturday afternoon.
Barcelona
Starting with the hosts, making real La Liga history last season as they got their hands on a first La Liga crown since 2019, Barcelona have once again impressed this time around. Last seen earlier in the week making it three Champions League victories on the spin as they claimed a 2-1 win against Shakhtar Donetsk, some have even tipped Xavi’s squad as a potential European dark horse this year. Signing off September with a gritty 1-0 victory against Sevilla on home soil, the Spanish champions are unbeaten in each of their first 13 straight appearances across all competitions. Getting proceedings wi…
In what was another Premier League classic on Monday night, Chelsea snatched a famous 4-1 victory away at a nine-man Tottenham following a string of infamous incidents at both ends of the pitch.
While Spurs might have taken the lead after just six minutes as Dejan Kulusevski’s deflected effort found a way past the helpless Robert Sanchez, the wheels quickly came off for Tottenham in a remarkable fashion.
Although full-back Destiny Udogie might have initially avoided being shown a straight red card following a reckless lunge on Raheem Sterling, Cristian Romero was not as fortunate as the Argentinian defender was given his marching orders after a lengthy VAR check just minutes later.

Jamie Carragher hailed Liverpool’s mentality after they twice fought back to seal a 2-2 draw with Premier League leaders Manchester City on Sunday.
The Reds remain just a point behind Pep Guardiola s side with seven games remaining after Sadio Mane s goal early in the second half.
Diogo Jota had earlier cancelled out Kevin de Bruyne s deflected opener, before Gabriel Jesus restored City s advantage.
Mane s fine strike meant City had scored the first goal and not gone on to win in the Premier League this season for the first time this season, the reigning champions having done so in all 22 games when scoring first prior to the visit of Jurgen Klopp s men.
Carragher, who made 737 appearances for Liverpool between 1996 and 2013, was impressed with…

Looking to cause an upset when they turn their attention back to Champions League duties, Villarreal will welcome Bayern Munich to the Estadio de la Cerámica on Wednesday night.
Villarreal
Starting with the hosts, although Villarreal might have stunned many across Europe as they overcame Italian giants Juventus last month, it appears that the Yellow Submarine are struggling with their consistency. While Head Coach Unai Emery might have seen his side pick up that famous 3-0 romp in Turin on March 16th, the former Arsenal boss saw his side put in another flat display last weekend. Marking their return from the international break with a shock 2-0 defeat away at Levante, the defending Europa League winners have suffered back-to-back La L…
Eddie Nketiah scored his first Premier League double as Arsenal got their top-four hopes back on track with an entertaining 4-2 victory over Chelsea.
Mikel Arteta s faith in Nketiah was rewarded as the 22-year-old ended a wait for a league goal that stretched back to April 2021 with the opener at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
Timo Werner scored in consecutive Premier League games for just the second time in his Chelsea career to restore parity, before Emile Smith Rowe put Arsenal back in front.
Cesar Azpilicueta got another equaliser for Chelsea, but he was at fault for Nketiah s second and a stoppage-time penalty from Bukayo Saka as Arsenal ended run of three straight defeats and went level on points with fourth-placed Tottenham.

James Milner and his team-mates will rally round Darwin Nunez after the striker was sent off on his home debut on Monday, Liverpool s vice-captain has said.
The Uruguayan was dismissed just before the hour mark at Anfield by referee Paul Tierney during Liverpool s 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace after he reacted to being shoved by Joachim Andersen by pushing his head into the Dane s face.
The Reds were 1-0 down at the time, but still managed to salvage a point after Luis Diaz equalised Wilfried Zaha s first-half opener with a thunderous effort from all of 25 yards at the Kop end.
The hosts could have won it at the death, with Mohamed Salah and substitute Fabio Carvalho both going close with volleyed efforts, though Zaha also nearly snatched it at the other end.<…

Manchester City were once again indebted to Phil Foden as they lifted the Premier League title on Sunday, and Micah Richards believes the midfielder is now Pep Guardiola s main man .
Foden cannoned an early opener past West Ham s Alphonse Areola to set City on their way, before doubling his tally and the hosts lead after 18 minutes at Etihad Stadium.
Indeed, Foden has scored six goals from outside the box in the Premier League this season, the most of any player, and the most ever by a Man City player in a single campaign.
It is also the most by a player for any team in the competition since the 2018-19 season, when Christian Eriksen scored six, but Foden s heroics stretch further than his long-range shooting.
The England midfielder helped City become the…
Bayern Munich shocked the Bundesliga by making a dramatic change in the dugout, replacing Julian Nagelsmann with Thomas Tuchel.
The decision came with Borussia Dortmund posing a serious threat to Bayern s hopes of an 11th consecutive league title.
Tuchel arrives with Bayern sitting one point off the Bundesliga summit and through to the Champions League quarter-finals, with the former BVB and Chelsea boss facing several pressing tasks.
Fending off his former club s challenge for domestic glory and plotting a route past Pep Guardiola s Manchester City will be among the immediate concerns, but there are others requiring Tuchel s attention.
From the futures of club stalwarts Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller, to the need to suitably replace Robert Lewandowski, t…
