What are this week's must-watch games?

Der Klassiker is back! Dortmund vs Bayern live this Saturday 12:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+ and the ESPN App

Two Bundesliga giants face off this weekend, with league leaders Bayern Munich visiting bitter rivals Dortmund this Saturday. The Bavarians are on a seven-game winning streak across all competitions and have not slipped up in the German top flight since drawing 3-3 with Frankfurt in early October. The hosts, on the other hand, are fifth. While they have won their last two matches, a defeat at Mainz at the start of November leaves them a point behind fourth-placed Leverkusen and only two ahead of Borussia M'gladbach in sixth.

Atlético Mineiro face Botafogo in the Copa Libertadores final live this Saturday at 3 p.m. ET on beIN Sports en Español, Fanatiz, fubvoTV

For only the fourth time in history, two Brazilian clubs will go head-to-head in the Copa Libertadores final as Atlético Mineiro and Botafogo prepare to battle it out for the title this Saturday at Estadio Monumental. Mineiro have won this prestigious title only once before but will have a shot at trophy number two after beating River Plate in the semis. However, Gabriel Milito's side are on a 10-game winless run that stretches back to late October and will have to overcome a Brazilian club in a Copa Libertadores knockout stage match for the first time since 2013. Meanwhile, Botafogo's pathway to the final was not easy, narrowly overcoming Palmeiras and Sao Paulo before beating Penarol 6-3 on aggregate in the semis. Unlike their opponents, Botafogo have never won the Copa Libertadores. Can they end this wait on Saturday?

Liverpool vs Man City live this Sunday at 11 a.m. ET on Telemundo, USA Network, and fuboTV

The standout fixture on this list sees Liverpool host Manchester City in a clash between first and second in the Premier League. The odds favor the Merseyside giants, who are eight points clear at the top thanks to an eight-game unbeaten run in the league that stretches back to mid-September. Guardiola's side, on the other hand, enter this tie amid a crisis, failing to win their last six consecutive matches. The Cityzens have lost three in a row in the league and recently threw away a three-goal lead at home to Feyenoord in Europe. Do not miss this showdown.

Arsenal vs Manchester United live this Wednesday at 3:15 p.m. ET on Peacock

Two of England's most historic clubs face off next week, with Arsenal hosting Manchester United in what promises to be a thriller. The Gunners visit West Ham over the weekend while Manchester United host Everton before their Emirates Stadium trip. With Manchester City facing Liverpool, Arteta's side must win both their weekend and midweek ties to keep up the pressure in the title race. Meanwhile, the Red Devils pulled off a lovely 3-2 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League but Amorim will be looking to translate that into wins in the English top-flight.

Bundesliga, La Liga, Eredivisie and more, only on ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+

Many soccer leagues and tournaments will be offered this weekend for all on ESPN Deportes and ESPN+. The streaming platform and the Spanish-language channel will team up this weekend to cover up to 100 matches between amateur and professional soccer games.

The Spanish-language feed will be able to cover the full extent of this week's La Liga action, where Barcelona will try to extend their lead at the top of the competition. It will also be quite relevant to keep an eye on what Real Madrid can do following their loss in the Champions League. Luckily for them, their clash against Getafe will give them a chance to lick their wounds.

Added to the options offered by the channel and the platform mentioned above, ESPN2 will contribute to the network's efforts to bring as many games as possible when they air the DFB Pokal match between Bayern München and Bayer Leverkusen, two of the best teams in the Bundesliga.

This will not be the only top European competition being covered by the network, as ESPN+ will also offer the Belgian Pro League, the Eredivisie, the Bundesliga 2, and the Spanish Segunda División will also be included on ESPN+'s schedule.

While these leagues will be the top attraction for professional soccer fans, NCAA Soccer will be the main source of entertainment on ESPN+, as the platform will include quite a few fixtures from both the men's and women's categories.

LA Galaxy aim for return to MLS glory days in Conference final

The free-scoring Los Angeles Galaxy are chasing a record-extending sixth MLS Cup title as they head into Saturday's Western Conference final with the Seattle Sounders.

The winner of their clash at the Galaxy's Dignity Health Park will play Orlando City or the New York Red Bulls, who meet in the Eastern Conference final.

It is a decade since the Galaxy won a record fifth MLS title when a team featuring Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane beat the New England Revolution in 2014.

That side dominated MLS, winning three titles in four years, the first two coming with former England and Manchester United star David Beckham in their midfield. Read more…

Amorim wins first Man Utd home game after rollercoaster ride

Rasmus Hojlund scored twice as Manchester United won a chaotic Europa League encounter against Bodo/Glimt 3-2 on Thursday, giving Ruben Amorim a vital win in his first home game at Old Trafford.

Alejandro Garnacho gave the home side a lightning start after a shocking error from opposition goalkeeper Nikita Haikin.

But Hakon Evjen levelled for the Norwegians and Philip Zinckernagel surged down the right wing to give them a shock lead.

Hojlund pulled United level with a superb finish just before half-time and poked them ahead early in the second period. Read more…

Liverpool more 'up for it' than beaten Madrid, concedes Bellingham

Jude Bellingham said Real Madrid were beaten by the best team in Europe right now after a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool and questioned the holders' attitude after a third loss in five Champions League games.

The 15-time winners are 24th in the 36-team table with three games of the league phase remaining and run the risk of failing to make the knockout stages.

Liverpool, by contrast, are flying at the top of the table with a maximum 15 points from their five games and are also eight points clear at the summit of the Premier League.

"From the first minute they just took control of the game," Bellingham told TNT Sports on a disappointing return to England.

"I just think they were more up for it than us, to be honest, which is really disappointing to say. Read more…

Camavinga joins Real Madrid injury list

French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has joined Real Madrid's growing injury list after injuring his thigh in Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League defeat in Liverpool.

"The player has been diagnosed with a muscular injury in the biceps femoris of his left leg. His progress will be monitored," Real Madrid said in a statement without revealing the length of his absence.

According to Spanish press reports Camavinga, who already injured his knee last September, is expected to be sidelined for between two and three weeks.

The 22-year-old came off in the 56th minute with the same injury which has kept teammate Vinicius Junior out of action for several weeks. Read more…

Guardiola says no intent to 'make light' of self-harm in post-match comments

Pep Guardiola insisted Wednesday he did not mean to make light of issues of self-harm after comments about a cut on his nose following Manchester City's Champions League collapse against Feyenoord.

The City boss was spotted with the scratch during Tuesday's 3-3 draw at the Etihad, in which they blew a 3-0 lead, and was asked about it during his post-match press conference.

Guardiola replied that he had caused it with a fingernail, adding apparently as a joke: "I want to harm myself."

City went into the game on the back of five straight defeats in all competitions. Read more…

Defeat at Liverpool could end Man City title hopes, says Gundogan

Ilkay Gundogan admits defeat at Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday could end Manchester City's Premier League title challenge as they scramble to end their poor run of form.

City squandered a 3-0 lead against Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday  -- following five consecutive defeats in all competitions.

For the first time in what was the 942nd game of his managerial career, manager Pep Guardiola saw his side fail to win a match after leading by three goals.

City have won the past four Premier League titles but are already eight points behind Arne Slot's Liverpool following three straight defeats in the English top flight. Read more…

Spurs goalkeeper Vicario out for 'months' with broken ankle

Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario faces "months" on the sidelines after breaking his ankle in Saturday's 4-0 win at Manchester City, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said.

The Italy international needed treatment after a first-half collision with City winger Savinho at the Etihad but was able to finish the game.

The 28-year-old, who had surgery on Monday, has been a virtual ever-present since he signed for Tottenham in 2023 but Postecoglou will now have to turn to veteran back-up Fraser Forster.

"It's not going to be weeks, it'll be months," Postecoglou said on Wednesday, adding he did not want to give a timeline. Read more…

FA probes referee David Coote over betting claim

The Football Association is investigating allegations Premier League referee David Coote discussed giving a yellow card with a fan before a match in England's second-tier Championship.

The Sun newspaper reported on Wednesday that 42-year-old Coote, who strongly denies any wrongdoing, discussed the prospect of booking then-Leedsw player Ezgjan Alioski with a supporter of the club the day before a game between Leeds and West Brom in October 2019.

The newspaper alleges after Coote booked the player during the match, he messaged the individual back to say: "I hope you backed as discussed."

Coote, currently suspended following separate allegations about his conduct, said in a statement: "I strongly refute these false and defamatory allegations. Read more…
