European club football is back in action. Teams competing in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League take to the pitch to battle for valuable points in the race to reach the knockout stages of their respective competitions.
All eyes are on the Italian sides in the Champions League, who endured a nightmare week for Italian football but must now bounce back from their recent results. In the Europa League and Conference League, meanwhile, the aim is to build on what has been a very positive campaign so far.
The schedule features several unmissable fixtures: Como face another glamorous clash against Manchester United, while Juventus and Milan both face tricky tests. There is also an enticing encounter in Amsterdam, where Atalanta visit Ajax. Elsewhere in Europe, two blockbuster matches await: PSG–Barcelona and Bayern–Arsenal.
📆 Champions League: Napoli and Roma must respond
On Tuesday, Napoli cannot afford another slip-up. The Azzurri are still without a point after losing to Arsenal and then surrendering a lead to suffer defeat away at Villarreal. Next up are tough opponents in Bodø/Glimt, who knocked Inter out in the round of 16 last season.
Roma are also looking to bounce back, still smarting from Real Madrid’s stunning comeback: having led 3-1, the Giallorossi conceded three goals in a matter of minutes to lose 4-3. A match against Slovan Bratislava, one of the lowest-ranked teams, offers a chance to get back on track.
Tuesday 20 October
- Napoli–Bodø/Glimt — 21:00
- Roma–Slovan Bratislava — 21:00
🔥 Como–Man United, Inter host Shakhtar
Another prestigious night awaits Como, who are preparing to host Manchester United in a hugely appealing international clash after an excellent start to their European campaign.
Inter are also at home, ready to welcome Shakhtar Donetsk. The Nerazzurri are seeking more valuable points to strengthen their position and keep their European campaign moving forward.
Wednesday 21 October
- Como – Manchester United - 18:45
🌟 Two blockbuster clashes in Europe
Elsewhere in Europe, the spotlight will fall mainly on PSG–Barcelona and Bayern–Arsenal, two hugely enticing encounters. Paris hosts a star-studded night as two-time European champions PSG meet Barça again in a fixture with added significance thanks to the many familiar faces, Luis Enrique above all, and with gems such as Dembélé and Yamal ready to steal the show.
Entertainment is also guaranteed in Bayern–Arsenal, a meeting between two of Europe’s strongest sides. It is a repeat of last season’s clash at the Emirates Stadium, when the Gunners claimed a convincing 3-1 win.
- PSG–Barcelona — Tuesday 20 October, 21:00
- Bayern Munich–Arsenal — Wednesday 21 October, 21:00
⚪⚫ Juventus boast a perfect record, Milan face an English test
Juventus are enjoying much better form in the Europa League than in their domestic league: the Bianconeri have won two out of two and are now seeking a third victory against a Rennes side who look set to be anything but easy opponents.
Milan face an even tougher task, at least on paper. The Rossoneri travel to England to take on Marco Rose’s Bournemouth in one of the most difficult away fixtures of this round.
Thursday 22 October
- Juventus – Rennes - 18:45
- Bournemouth – Milan - 21:00
💪 Atalanta face an enticing Ajax clash
In the Conference League, Atalanta want to build on their performance in the previous round. After their emphatic win over Pafos, La Dea face an away trip with a very different feel.
The Nerazzurri will fly to Amsterdam to take on Ajax in a hugely appealing European encounter. It is an important test as they look to maintain their excellent form and keep up their momentum in the Conference League.
Thursday 22 October
- Ajax – Atalanta - 21:00
