The 8️⃣ unmissable European clashes of the week 🇪🇺 | OneFootball

After a (long) international break, club football is back, and especially those European nights!

This week promises to be another thrilling one with some fantastic fixtures to watch. From the clash of styles between Arteta and Simeone, to the tricky matches awaiting our French clubs, we’re in for a treat with top-quality football!

Bayer Leverkusen - PSG, a mere formality?

Although PSG, as flamboyant as ever, continues its momentum from last season in the Champions League, they will still need to be wary of the 2023-2024 German champions. Plagued by significant instability since the start of the season, Bayer has been described as "difficult to assess" by Luis Enrique. It must be said that the German club has recruited many new players and changed coaches. However, the Spanish manager doesn’t fail to praise the "flexibility" of his future opponent: "Leverkusen has the quality to score and defend very deep." Could this disrupt Paris’s plans? We’ll find out Tuesday night at 9pm.

Arsenal - Atlético de Madrid, is Cholismo still alive?

After a sluggish start to the season, Atlético de Madrid has been doing much better since their prestigious win against Real. In fact, the Colchoneros are unbeaten in their last 7 matches in all competitions, and will try to keep this great run going against the Gunners, who are top of the Premier League and coming off two wins in the Champions League. A tactical clash that should live up to all expectations.

Monaco - Tottenham, a fresh start ahead for the principality?

That’s certainly what the club from the Rock will be hoping for, as they’ve had a difficult start to this Champions League phase. Under Adi Hütter, Monaco has only managed to pick up a single point from two matches and sits in 30th place in the standings. For his first European match in charge of his new team, Sébastien Pocognoli faces a tough challenge: Thomas Franck’s Spurs, who notably beat Villarreal on the opening day. A defeat could already complicate Monaco’s chances of qualifying.

Real Madrid - Juve, a European classic

Even if the Old Lady has lost some of her former glory, she remains a European giant. While their coach Igor Tudor seems more threatened than ever, the Bianconeri will try to pull off what would be considered a feat in 2025: beating a ruthless Real Madrid in the Champions League at the start of this season.

Sporting CP - Olympique de Marseille, time for confirmation

After a season start marked by controversies and a few poor performances, OM has found its stride. Although the Marseille club first lost to Real, they then rolled over Ajax (4-0) and now sit atop Ligue 1. This trip to Lisbon, which should be within Marseille’s reach, could further solidify their growing ambitions.

Europa League: OL, LOSC, and Nice in action

The Gones, who had started their season perfectly, are coming off two consecutive defeats. This Thursday, they host FC Basel, who are flying high in their league.

For their part, LOSC will look to confirm their achievement against Roma. A tough challenge, as the northern club will welcome PAOK, leaders of the Greek Super League.

Finally, Nice will aim to continue their recent progress. Buoyed by a crucial win over Lyon last Saturday, the Gym will travel to face Celta Vigo.
