After dispatching Arsenal in spectacular fashion on Wednesday, the ruthless machine that is Bayern Munich resumes Bundesliga action this weekend by visiting Hertha Berlin.
The 5-1 win over the Gunners in their UEFA Champions League round of 16’s first-leg fixture showed just how dominant Bayern still is in European soccer, and after overtaking the upstart RB Leipzig in the league table at the end of 2016, Carlo Ancelotti’s squad has now opened up a seven-point gap atop the league standings as well.
Meanwhile in Spain, Real Madrid are expecting the return of Gareth Bale — who has missed three months of action due to an ankle injury — this weekend when they host Espanyol. Los Galacticos are coming off their own UCL win during the week when they handed Italian side Napoli a 3-1 defeat.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are left searching for answers after suffering a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain during their UCL tilt. The loss is the worst in manager Luis Enrique’s tenure with Blaugrana but he could help his squad regain its footing with a home win against the lowly Leganés.
The English FA Cup will also resume action with its fifth-round ties. Two fifth-division clubs still remain in the competition in Lincoln City and Sutton United, with the former taking on Burnley on Saturday and the latter facing Arsenal on Monday.
On the international front, the CONCACAF U-20 Championships will get underway this weekend, with the U.S. taking on Panama on Saturday.
