After spending over $350 million last transfer window, Graham Potter and his Chelsea side are off to a less than ideal start inthe Todd Boehly era.
While Chelsea is struggling to string wins together, the opposite is happening for Borussia Dortmund. The Black and Yellow go into Stamford Bridge undefeated in 2023, winning their 10th-consecutive match over the weekend. Dortmund is in great form as they look to take advantage of their 1-0 lead on aggregate and advance into the next round.
Another key matchup this week is Bayern Munich vs. Paris Saint-Germain. The French giants will visit the Allianz Arena to settle the second leg of their match up with the German powerhouse Bayern Munich. Bayern goe into the second leg with a narrow 1-0 lead on aggregate.
Paris Saint-Germain’s head coach Christophe Galtier has effectively ruled Neymar out for the European clash on Wednesday, forcing Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi to deliver for PSG.
The UEFA Europa League Round of 16 also takes place this week with Arsenal, Ferencvaros, among others re-entering the competition after earning a bye for the Round of 32.
