This year’s Bundesliga title will almost certainly belong to Bayern Munich, and the Bavarian giant can go a long way in wrapping it up on Saturday.
Arch-rival and nearest competitor Borussia Dortmund is nine points behind Bayern with only five matches left in the season, and will effectively be eliminated with a loss in the 133rd official meeting of the Der Klassiker derby.
Bayern Munich has won four-straight in league play while Borussia Dortmund has captured victory in its last two matches. Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland headline the offensive talent in this contest.
A pair of high-stakes Premier League matches will also garner plenty of attention.
The last Merseyside Derby of the season has Liverpool, which is possibly the best team in the world at the moment, hosting an Everton side that is too close to the relegation zone for comfort. Liverpool has won two of the last five Merseyside Derbys in league play while Everton has earned points in each of its last two matches overall.
Arsenal and Manchester United still trail Tottenham for the final spot in England’s Champions League picture, and if there is a loser in Saturday’s showdown, it will likely take them out of the equation. The Gunners claimed an important 4-2 midweek win against Chelsea while Manchester United was pummeled 4-0 by Liverpool, albeit without Cristiano Ronaldo available.
The Copa del Rey Final in Spain will crown a new champion on Saturday. Real Betis or Valencia will enjoy a day in the sun when they capture some hardware that has been hard to pull from the clutches of Real Madrid and Barcelona in recent years.
American stars Catarina Macario and Lindsey Horan are looking to lead Olympique Lyonnais to a ninth straight UEFA Women’s Champions League final on Sunday. Lyon hosts rival Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the competition’s semifinal, while Barcelona and Wolfsburg play out the other side of the bracket on Friday.
