THE world’s biggest football stars will take the spotlight this week in the continuation of the live telecast of elite European club football action on ABS-CBN S+A.
Four-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo and defending UEFA Champions League champion Real Madrid will defend their turf against visiting Borussia Dortmund, who will welcome Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang back in the fold, this Thursday also at 3:30 a.m. on S+A.
La Liga’s all-time top scorer Lionel Messi of Argentina, on the other hand, will get a chance to add to his lead when his FC Barcelona squad faces Villareal CF led by Cedric Bakambu, at 3:30 a.m. on Monday (December 11).
Earlier this week on S+A, Filipino football fans also saw Brazilian phenom Neymar Jr. and the rest of France League 1’s Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) battle Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Neymar’s team lost 1-3 to Bayern, who got goals from Robert Lewandowski and Corentin Tolisso.
