We are heading towards the last full weekend of this jumbo international soccer break. The United States men’s national team won their second friendly game of the month as coach Mauricio Pochettino made ten changes from their victory over Peru, before winning 4-2 against Chile in St. Louis on Tuesday.

Women’s Soccer Champions also sometimes. On Wednesday and Thursday, nine games will be played across Europe with some of the best teams facing each other, such as Roma against Barcelona, OL Lyon against Chelsea and Manchester City against Real Madrid on Thursday. Here’s our own Sandra Herrera breaking down all the biggest stories ahead of the action:
- Herrera: “FC Barcelona’s title defense is off and running after a 5-2 win against Paris FC. Like true Champions League contenders, with high post-game energy, the whole business conceding two goals to Paris FC does not matter to finish the opponent.”
