After Tuesday’s triumphant Champions League quarterfinal victory against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid will remain on the center stage as they take on visiting Barcelona for El Clasico.
With only three points separating the Merengues and Barça from first place, title implications will be on the line at Santiago Bernabeu. Luis Enrique’s El Clasico farewell comes at a time of hardship for the Catalan side, who exited Champions League play after falling to Italian giants Juventus. Wednesday’s woes will have to be left behind for the Catalonians, as Zinedine Zidane’s men find themselves in winning form.
In England, FA Cup play will resume in its semifinal stages. No better fitting venue for a London Derby than historic Wembley Stadium. Premier League’s top two and London sides, Chelsea and Tottenham, will battle for a chance at a second match in London. While on the other side of the bracket, both North London’s Arsenal and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City seek to tame disappointing seasons by winning the FA Cup.
Across the English Channel, AS Monaco will look to carry their Champions League flair as they travel to Décines-Charpieu to take on Ligue 1’s fourth place Olympique Lyonnais. Champions League semifinalist and French league leaders, AS Monaco, are in a must-win scenario as only goals edges them past Paris Saint Germain who are second on the table.
