Germany’s heavyweights go head to head while Juventus face Lazio and Paris Saint-Germain look to get back to winning ways without Neymar and probably Kylian Mbappe too.
Here are the standout matches on the continent this weekend:
Haaland v Lewandowski
Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich, Saturday 1730 GMT
It is the biggest game in Germany, but the latest meeting of Dortmund and Bayern will be played behind closed doors and, anyway, it has not been much of a rivalry in recent years.
Bayern have won the Bundesliga eight years running, although Dortmund have finished runners-up five times in that period, including in the last two campaigns.
Bayern have also won 10 of their last 14 Bundesliga meetings since winning their 2013 Champions League final showdown. They also triumphed 3-2 when the sides clashed in the German Super Cup recently.
This time, though, the teams are level atop the Bundesliga and Dortmund are in fine form, with Erling Braut Haaland on 10 goals for the season.
Yet the hottest striker in Europe is Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski, and Hansi Flick’s team have won 32 of their last 33 matches.
