The second installment of “El Clasico” takes center stage in soccer on TV this weekend.
Barcelona travels to Real Madrid with their season on the line. Media in Spain are already claiming that the winner of the match will win the title. Real Madrid currently lead La Liga with 70 points and lead Barcelona by four points with ten matches remaining.
A top-three clash takes place on Saturday morning as Arsenal visit Stamford Bridge and Chelsea. Arsene Wenger will take charge of his 1,000th game since joining Arsenal in 1996, but Jose Mourinho’s side will be motivated to overcome last Saturday’s surprise defeat at Aston Villa.
Other games to watch this weekend are Mainz 05 taking on Bayern Munich, Lorient host Paris Saint-Germain, and Cruz Azul visit Liga MX Apertura champions Club Leon.

When will espn televise an MLS game? Did MLS forget to send them the memo?
This needs to be written about!
CONCACAF has a formal complaint before them that Toluca cheated by sneaking a staff member into the Earthquakes practice before the game and filming their tactics and training.
You want to know what’s cheating? When your league is so lame and unappealing that the games aren’t shown on local tv much less international. The only chance Toluca had to review SJ’s tape was to film it themselves.
Heart Of Midlothian…. such a cool name
Straight out of middle earth.
Van Persie out 4-6 weeks.
United are going to lose by 5.
Only if absolute value rules apply for arsenal 😉
Surprised to see Liverpool beat out Man City for the 11 a.m. NBC Sports Network slot. I like it.
