With 16 match weeks in the books, the usual suspects have risen to to top of the La Liga table. Real Madrid and Barcelona enter Wednesday’s edition of El Clasico all tied up with 35 points each, making the match crucial as they each look to create some separation atop the table.
After a 2-2 draw in the first matchup in 2018, Barcelona went on to take the finale with a dominant 5-1 drubbing, leaving Madrid desperate to earn a first win against its rival since August of 2017.
On Tuesday, the Bundesliga offering of Borussia Dortmund versus RB Leipzig has potential to shake up the table. Dortmund comes in on a roll, earning wins in its last four games across all competitions while Leipzig finds itself at the top of the table on the heels of a 3-0 weekend win over Fortuna.
The FIFA Club World Cup enters the business end this week, freshly minted Copa Libertadores winner Flamengo will face Qatari side Al-Hilal on Tuesday, and Mexico’s CF Monterrey sees reigning European champion Liverpool on Wednesday.
For Liverpool, that’ll be two matches in less than 24 hours as it also has EFL Cup action to prepare for on Tuesday.

Hello? There are 4 Premier League games today on NBCSN, and the first leg of the Mexican half-season final on FS1. Also Wolverhampton on Friday, and quite a few EPL games on Saturday and Sunday.

Jürgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and others have already complained that the schedule is exhausting their players. If they go to the trouble to play, despite everything, shouldn’t we at least go to the trouble of watching?

Anyone, anyone at all?
