It’s said that a season is like a roller coaster of emotions, but for Bayern Munich, they’ve experienced such highs and lows in just one week.
Last Tuesday the club advanced in the UEFA Champions League with a strong performance at home to hold off Arsenal, but the club were stunned to see former president Uli Hoeness submit his resignation on Friday after being convicted of tax fraud.
Now, the German giants face a difficult test in Bayer Leverkusen, who are currently in third place and are battling Borrusia Dortmund for second in the league. Bayern’s resolve will surely be tested in this must-watch match on Saturday.
In England, Sunday will be a full day for plenty of viewers with both Liverpool taking on Manchester United before Arsenal visits Tottenham. The Reds are looking to stun David Moyes at Old Trafford, while both Arsenal and Spurs hope to pick up the pieces after defeats and exits in their respective European cups.
In France, Paris Saint-Germain host AS Saint-Etienne, a team that the Parisians have struggled to beat in recent times. PSG has only defeated Saint Etienne once in their last five meetings in all competitions, carrying a record of 1-3-1 since November 2012.
Other matches to keep an eye on this weekend are Borussia Dortmund vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach, Malaga vs. Real Madrid, and the Seattle Sounders vs. Toronto FC.
