—Football—

European football returns with a jam-packed week of top-tier action across the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, and the major domestic leagues.

In the Champions League, Matchday 2 offers thrilling match-ups across the continent. Real Madrid travel to face underdogs Kairat, while Chelsea meet Benfica in a clash of attacking styles – and a match which will see Jose Mourinho reunited with the Blues. Galatasaray take on Liverpool in a hostile Istanbul atmosphere, and Barcelona host Paris Saint-Germain in a rematch between two powerhouses. Other compelling fixtures include Inter vs Slavia Prague, Arsenal vs Olympiacos, and Monaco welcoming Manchester City.

The Europa League also heats up with high-stakes encounters. Roma face Lille in a showdown of tactical resilience, and Porto host Red Star Belgrade in a match likely to test both sides’ defensive mettle. Feyenoord vs Aston Villa and Lyon vs RB Salzburg promise entertainment and goals, while Celtic’s clash with Braga could be one of the more evenly balanced fixtures of the round.

Meanwhile, in the Conference League, Crystal Palace begin their campaign against Dynamo Kyiv, aiming to make a deep run in Europe’s third-tier competition.

Domestic action resumes over the weekend, with La Liga offering standout matches such as Real Madrid vs Villarreal and Sevilla vs Barcelona, both likely to influence the title race. Atletico Madrid also face a tricky trip to Celta Vigo.

In the Premier League, Chelsea and Liverpool renew their intense rivalry, while Manchester United will be desperate to assert dominance over Sunderland. Arsenal face West Ham in a London derby, and Brentford will test themselves against Manchester City and their viking-like striker Erling Haaland.

Serie A features some heavyweight clashes, including Juventus vs AC Milan and Napoli hosting Genoa. With league positions beginning to take shape, these games carry added importance. Expect drama, goals, and perhaps a few surprises as Europe’s football calendar goes into full throttle.
