Barcelona’s season to date has been a disappointment, but Sergino Dest and his teammates will try to deliver a strong result before heading into the October international break.
Ronald Koeman’s squad faces off with Atletico Madrid on Saturday, looking to give their season a spark after a below-par start in all competitions. The Catalan club is coming into the match off of the back of a 3-0 UEFA Champions League loss to Benfica, which now sees them sit bottom of Group E with zero points earned.
Dest continues to be one of the few bright spots for Barcelona this season and will look to help silence Luis Suarez, Joao Felix, and others before embarking on international duty with the U.S. men’s national team.
Elsewhere, Brenden Aaronson and Red Bull Salzburg welcome LASK to town while John Brooks and Joe Scally will go head-to-head in Bundesliga play in Germany. Josh Sargent and Norwich City will try to claim a first Premier League win over the season at Burnley. Matt Miazga and Alaves aim to follow up last week’s win over Atletico Madrid with a trip to Athletic Bilbao on Friday. Tim Weah and Konrad De La Fuente also meet in Ligue 1 showdown this weekend.
