This week’s unmissable European clashes ⭐️ | OneFootball

Two weeks later, the Champions League is already back for the sixth matchday of the league phase. On the agenda, several clashes between top teams but also decisive matches for French clubs.

Last chance for Xabi Alonso against Man City?

It's a clash that will weigh heavily in the balance. In the midst of a results crisis and with a coach on the hot seat, Real Madrid hosts Manchester City at their Bernabeu fortress. In Spain, rumor has it that this match could be Xabi Alonso's last on the Madrid bench if they lose.

Currently 10th in the standings, Pep Guardiola's Citizens are looking to re-enter the Top 8 but above all to take their revenge after last season's humiliation against the Merengue.

Liverpool without Salah against Inter

Stuck in a sporting crisis and in an explosive context since Mohamed Salah's speech, Liverpool will try to react on the pitch of an Inter Milan, in great form for three matches.

The Reds will also be without Mohamed Salah, suspended by management after his criticism of the club and Arne Slot's choices.

Barcelona must react against Frankfurt

Two wins in five matches, that's the meager record of an FC Barcelona (18th) playing with fire in the Champions League.

After the thrashing at Chelsea (3-0) and facing a Frankfurt (28th) fighting for survival in the competition, the Catalans will have to roll up their sleeves to improve their return to Camp Nou in the Champions League.

Decisive match for OM in Belgium

Just when Marseille seemed to be back on track after their fine victory against Newcastle (2-1), the Olympians stumbled in the league against Toulouse (2-2) and Lille (1-0). As in the previous Champions League matchday, the Olympians have almost no room for error.

Especially since this time, against Union Saint-Gilloise, they face a direct competitor for playoff spots. Is this the chance to kill two birds with one stone?

Monaco faces the Turkish giant

The surprise team of this Champions League, Galatasaray, comes forward as the favorite in this confrontation against Monaco. However, the Monegasques have proven this season that they can trouble bigger teams, as evidenced by their draw against Manchester City (2-2).

In any case, victory is almost imperative for Monaco, who are flirting with the danger zone.

A walk in the park for Paris?

After their thrilling victory against Tottenham, PSG hopes to continue on the pitch of Bilbao.

If the Basques are decimated with four major absences, PSG will likely have to do without an Ousmane Dembélé, who is ill. The Parisians are still largely favorites, against an Athletic Club that suffered a heavy home defeat a week ago against a Real Madrid in crisis (3-0).

French clubs in action in C3 and C4

While Lyon is leading the Europa League before hosting the Go Ahead Eagles, Lille can also take a big step towards qualification with their trip to the Young Boys of Bern.

However, all eyes will also be on the Allianz Riviera, where Nice hosts Braga. The Eagles are mired in a deep crisis and hope to earn their first points of the season in C3.

Meanwhile, Strasbourg continues its journey with a trip to the modest Scottish team Aberdeen, which has only two points. As a reminder, the Alsatians are first in the Conference League, tied with Samsunspor.
