This week’s unmissable European clashes ⭐️ | OneFootball

The great European nights are back this week, bringing their share of clashes and stories to tell. Between Mourinho’s reunion with Stamford Bridge, the modern classic between PSG and Barça, and French ambitions in the Europa and Conference Leagues, emotions will be running high. Here’s an overview.

Barcelona – PSG, Clash of the Titans

On Wednesday night, Barcelona and Paris meet in a fixture that reeks of recent Champions League history. The Catalans are counting on their youth and pressing to bring down the reigning champions. PSG, confident in their strength, arrive as conquerors and will want to make a statement right from this perilous away game.

Chelsea – Benfica, Mou’s Comeback

On Tuesday night, José Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge will capture all the attention. The “Special One” returns to the pitch where he built his legend. This time, he arrives as an opponent at the helm of a solid Benfica side.

Without Cole Palmer, Chelsea are going through a rough patch and will have to stand strong, while the Lisbon club will try to make the most of their coach’s experience to pull off a big result in London.

Marseille – Ajax, Clash of the Giants

A duel where history and passion intertwine. The Vélodrome promises to be electric for Ajax’s visit. OM will rely on their fervor and intensity to shake up the Dutch side.

The Lancers, true to their attacking philosophy, will look to control the ball and punish any Marseille mistake. Note that Ajax will be without two key players: Wout Weghorst and Kasper Dolberg.

Monaco – Man City, the Haaland Threat

The duel between Monaco and Manchester City looks terribly unbalanced on paper.

The club from the Principality, beaten 1-4 at Bruges (UCL Matchday 1) and then 1-3 at Lorient (Ligue 1 Matchday 6), risks flirting with crisis if they suffer a heavy defeat.

On the other side, the Citizens, armed with their offensive power, will want to avoid any scares at the Stade Louis II (bad memories from March 2017).

Europa League: Tough Draws for OL and LOSC!

The Europa League and Conference League also promise some great fixtures.

Riding high in Serie A, AS Roma take on an ambitious LOSC side dreaming of an upset.

Olympique Lyonnais will need to be wary of Salzburg, known for their suffocating pressing and lightning-fast play.

Finally, Strasbourg will have to negotiate a tricky match in Bratislava, who gained valuable experience in the Champions League last season.
