DFB-Pokal action headlines the week, and all eyes will be fixed on a pair of high-stakes matchups with young Americans leading the way.
In Germany, cup competition continues with the third round, and the headliner is a juicy one. Christian Pulisic and Borussia Dortmund are set to take on Bayern Munich on Wednesday in the game of the week, while Weston McKennie and Schalke face FC Koln and John Brooks’ Wolfsburg takes on Nurnberg.
Jonathan Gonzalez and Monterrey face a massive match of their own as they take on Omar Gonzalez and Pachuca in the Copa MX finale. The match gives Monterrey a chance to claim silverware after falling in the Apertura finale while also giving Gonzalez a chance to build on a debut campaign that saw him earn a Best XI selection.
Elsewhere, Shaq Moore and Levante face Leganes, Emerson Hyndman’s Bournemouth heads into a cup clash with Chelsea, and Ethan Horvath and Kenny Saief headline Dutch action.
