VALENTINE’S week is going to be hotter for football lovers as ABS-CBN S+A airs LIVE the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match between French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain and defending UCL champions Real Madrid on Thursday at 3:40 a.m., featuring the showdown between superstars Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo.
It will be full of fireworks as Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Gareth Bale, in their quest for a record 13th UCL title, look to stop the French side and display their might in the league again. Standing in the way of the Los Blancos are Edinson Cavani, Kylian Mbappe, and former Barcelona star Neymar, who is rumored to be transferring to Real Madrid in the future. The first leg of their match up will be held in Spain at Santiago Bernabeu this Thursday, followed by the second leg on March 7.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, Barcelona looks to tighten its grip on the top spot of the La Liga table when it takes on Eibar LIVE on S+A at 11 pm.
With Argentinian superstar Leo Messi and Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez up front, it will be a major surprise for the Azulgrana to drop the match and give a sliver of hope to the likes of Valencia, Sevilla, and Real Madrid, who are jockeying for position and a shot at closing the gap with the Catalunian side.
