Manchester United cannot let the hangover from a big weekend win over Tottenham last too long.
The Red Devils have to quickly change gears and be ready for a higher-stakes contest on Tuesday, with Atlético Madrid coming to town to finish off their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie.
As things stand, the two giants are locked up 1-1, and while Manchester United has the away goal in hand, it cannot afford to be passive. In the first leg, it only took Atlético seven minutes to find a goal.
Juventus and Lille are also locked in a 1-1 contest, which is a little surprising. Juve, especially with home-field advantage, should be able to take control of the game, but Villareeal’s fightback in the first leg needs to keep the Italian giant on its toes.
Concacaf Champions League also rages on this week, with MLS teams in control of three of the four quarterfinal matchups. CF Montréal trails Cruz Azul, only by a 1-0 margin, which is tough, but doable to overcome.
Defending MLS Cup Champions New York City FC surrendered an away goal to Comunicaciones last week, which makes their 3-1 lead a little shaky if they find themselves in an early deficit.

This Week’s Top 5 Matches to Watch
1. Manchester United vs Atlético Madrid – Two teams who have traded in their domestic league title shots for UCL glory, whether they wanted to or not. But only one can advance.
2. Juventus vs Villarreal – Villarreal is working on an underdog story, can it keep up with Juventus if desperation sets in?
3. Lille vs Chelsea – Chelsea owns a 2-0 lead, but recent sanctions, including travel budget, on the club will make everything about this interesting.
4. Comunicaciones vs NYCFC – Can NYCFC close this one?
5. Arsenal vs Liverpool – Arsenal is trying to stay in the top 4, Liverpool is trying to stay on Manchester City’s heels. Both should be going for the win here.
