The UEFA Champions League group stage continues this week with two of Europe’s dynamic attacking fronts squaring off from Milan.
Inter Milan hosts Barcelona on Tuesday in a battle of two of Serie A and La Liga’s best. Inter Milan has slipped in league play so far, sitting ninth ahead of this week’s showdown from the San Siro. Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku are two of the top forward in Europe and will be eager to spark their team to a statement home victory.
Robert Lewandowski has helped propel Barcelona to top spot in La Liga following a 1-0 league victory over Mallorca this weekend. Xavi’s squad have been dominant on both sides of the field so far, scoring 19 goals in league play compared to only one goal conceded through seven matches. The focus will be on Champions League though this week as Barcelona aims to rebound from a 2-0 Matchday 2 loss to Bayern Munich.
Wednesday’s slate is headlined by Chelsea’s clash with AC Milan at Stamford Bridge. Both teams are coming off dramatic league wins over the weekend and will be throwing everything at one another to take a grip of the top spot in Group E. Christian Pulisic and Sergino Dest could square off against one another if both get the starting nod.
The English Football League Championship schedule also resumes this week as two of the top three teams meet. Third place Reading sits only one point behind second place Norwich City as both teams aim to keep pace with league-leaders Sheffield United. Sheffield United will also host fifth place Queens Park Rangers in another mouthwatering showdown in England’s second-tier.
A quartet of MLS Eastern Conference clubs will also be in action this week to further pad their status to be involved in the upcoming playoffs. Charlotte FC hosts the Columbus Crew on Wednesday while Inter Miami welcomes Orlando City to DRV PNK Stadium.
