Overview
- Marseille, on six points with three group defeats, visit Union Saint-Gilloise needing a result as Roberto De Zerbi labels recent form poor after calling the Lille loss their worst match.
- Union SG coach David Hubert said his staff identified weaknesses in OM and plan to restrict Marseille’s strengths and exploit those flaws.
- PSG travel to Athletic Bilbao buoyed by a 5-0 win over Rennes but are likely still without Désiré Doué and Achraf Hakimi, though Luis Enrique has most of his core available.
- Real Madrid versus Manchester City headlines the round, pairing the 2022 and 2024 winners with the 2023 champions in a renewed elite European matchup that could feature Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland.
- Liverpool visit Inter without Salah after his recent complaints and continued benching, while Monaco also sit on six points before hosting Galatasaray, and group leaders Arsenal, Bayern, and Barcelona face Bruges, Sporting, and Eintracht Frankfurt respectively.
