Paris Saint-Germain’s judgment day is looming as it opens up the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 on Tuesday.
When PSG won the Lionel Messi sweepstakes heading into the season, all eyes shifted to how he and his supporting cast of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar would perform as a dream team on the big stage.
So far, so good, but things will get a little more intense as the Parisians start to look at their path towards the UCL final, and must find a way past Real Madrid, an opponent Messi knows very well on Tuesday in the biggest game of the week.
In other UCL action, Serie A leader Inter Milan squares off with 2019 winner Liverpool on Wednesday in what should be a heavyweight slugfest.
Concacaf Champions League also kicks off this week, offering a first look at last year’s best in MLS, like defending champion New York City FC which takes on Costa Rican side Santos de Guápiles on Tuesday.
Elsewhere, the U.S. women’s national team kicks off the SheBelieves Cup Thursday against the Czech Republic. The Americans are looking for their third consecutive title defense and fifth capture of the trophy all-time.
