RB Leipzig-Bayern Munich headlines This Weekend’s Soccer on TV

2 Shares

Bayern Munich’s dominance of the German Bundesliga was supposed to be tested this year by RB Leipzig, even after Julian Nagelsmann and Dayot Upamecano switched since in the battle for German supremacy, but a slow start under new manager Jesse Marsch has caused Leipzig to slip from the list of serious title contenders at the start of the new campaign.

RB Leipzig can reassert its title credentials on Saturday with a win against Bayern in one of the weekend’s most high-profile clashes in Europe. Even though U.S. men’s national team midfielder Tyler Adams is a doubt after starting three straight World Cup qualifiers in the most recent international window, Leipzig still has the firepower to test Bayern.

Serie A boasts the best pair of quality matchups this weekend, with Juventus visiting Napoli and AC Milan hosting Lazio in a battle of teams off to perfect starts to their season. Juve is in desperate need of a win after managing just one point from its first two matches, while Napoli could open up an eight-point lead on Juventus with a win.

We could see some highly-anticipated home debuts this weekend, with Lionel Messi poised to make his Paris Saint-Germain home debut on Saturday, while Cristiano Ronaldo could make his first appearance at Old Trafford in a Manchester United uniform since 2009.

    • I watched the 10 minutes of highlights and he did a great job in the first half of finding teammates with well-placed passes that put them in a position to attack, and he gets a hockey assist for the first goal. My only criticism is him failing to track the runner on the play that led to Empoli’s penalty.

    • He may have had a great game but he didn’t h the ball once in those highlights did he? And yeah, he was caught out on that penalty decision. Great to see him on the field. One the less.

  1. Here’s a good example of programming that bothers me. ESPN shows two games on both Saturday and Sunday from the Dutch league. None of the 4 games even involve traditional powers PSV or Ajax. Yet, they shove all their Bundesliga games to E4SPN+, including the Munich–Leipzig game, which should be a headliner. I guess they just want to steer soccer fans to ESPN+ to make more money. To me it is just a blatant disregard for their customers.
