As evidenced by the high-drama matchup earlier in the month, a Milan Derby is not to be missed this year as AC Milan and Inter Milan remain in the spotlight of Italy’s power struggle this season.
That match ended 2-1 in AC Milan’s favor, while both sides collected a red card, and ended up blowing the Serie A title race wide open.
The rivals shift their focus on Tuesday from the league race to the Coppa Italia, and go for a positive showing in Leg 1 of the Coppa Italia semifinal, where defending champion Juventus is on the other side of the bracket facing Fiorentina which should offer a much more predictable route to the final.
Cup action headlines the rest of this week’s European action elsewhere. The second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals presents a nervy Valencia – Athletic Club tie in Spain. The German DFB Pokal quarterfinals are headlined by Tyler Adams and RB Leipzig’s showdown with Hannover. All while the fifth round of the FA Cup plays out in England, where an unlikely upset is always a possibility.

This Week’s Top 5 Matches to Watch
1. AC Milan vs Inter Milan – The rivals are probably sick of one another at this point and it probably will not take much for this one to get testy.
2. Fiorentina vs. Juventus – Dusan Vlahovic returns to Florence for the first time since his winter transfer, as he targets his first trophy with Juventus.
3. Luton Town vs Chelsea – After being outlasted in penalties in the EFL Cup thriller over the weekend, Chelsea gets thrown right back into a tournament-style contest.
4. Hannover 96 vs RB Leipzig – There is no Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund left in the DFB Pokal, and Leipzig could end up being the favorite in the final if it can get there.
5. Valencia vs Athletic Club – These two are tied 1-1 with a spot in the Copa del Rey final on the line. Like Germany, there are no superpowers standing in the way for the final, giving all remaining contenders a credible chance.
