Five Worldwide Football Matches You Should Watch This Weekend
After an enthralling round of Champions League action in midweek, the excitement looks set to continue into the weekend as we look forward to some blockbuster fixtures from all around the world. From derby games to historical grudge matches, the next few days should yield no shortage of drama. And with the added possibility of league Champions being crowned, the stakes are at their highest. This article identifies five of the biggest games in world football that you should pay attention to this weekend.
Arsenal vs. Manchester United
For the first time since his acrimonious departure last summer, Robin van Persie will return to the club he once captained this Sunday sporting the red of Manchester United. Furthermore, he will do so as a Premier League champion. In just eight months, the Dutchman has achieved something that eluded him for eight years in North London. Such circumstances will be difficult to take for the Emirates faithful, but in a wonderfully sporting gesture the club have agreed to form a guard of honor in tribute to the newly crowned champions nonetheless. Add the rich history that these two share to such a refreshingly reverent act and you have a spectacle not to be missed in the capital.
