5 hot fixtures to watch this weekend 🌶

After a brief hiatus for the first international break of the season, we're back with the top picks for football fans to watch this weekend.

Here are our five must-see games.

Birmingham versus Wrexham

Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney believes his team's Monday night clash with big-spending Birmingham City will be a 'absolute banger'.

Rob McElhenney can't wait to see Tom Brady when Wrexham head to Birmingham next Monday... 👀
Who's coming out on top? 🤔


Despite their League One status, the two teams have sparked widespread attention, thanks to celebrity owners and significant investment. After recording the ownership journey of actor McElhenney and Hollywood A-lister Ryan Reynolds, the 'Welcome to Wrexham' docuseries has elevated a modest Welsh town to the forefront of American attention.

Tom Brady, an NFL icon, is on the Birmingham board, and the Blues have broken transfer records since their relegation last season. Birmingham spent more than £20 million on new players, including the £15 million signing of Jay Stansfield from Fulham.

Girona vs Barcelona

Girona stirred things up in Spain last season, finishing in the top three and qualifying for the Champions League. In only their fourth season in La Liga, the Catalans emerged as the closest contenders to Spanish football's top two, and they surely bruised the noses of their legendary rivals.

Last season, Girona won both league games against Barcelona 4-2, despite the fact that their great team has since disbanded. Barcelona, on the other hand, has started the season on fire, winning 7-0 over Valladolid before the international break.

Leeds United versus Burnley

Championship promotion candidates. Leeds and Burnley face off at Elland Road on Saturday lunchtime, with both teams in the mix at the top of the league. Leeds have risen to fourth place after a shaky start with straight draws.

Burnley started strong, but have since dropped points in their last two games. Scott Parker's team, on the other hand, is currently tied for the most points in the Championship.

Leeds will start as small favourites, having gone unbeaten in their last five encounters against Burnley.

Real Sociedad versus Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will not want to lose any more ground to Barcelona, since a gap has already formed between the champions and their everlasting rivals. Carlo Ancelotti's side has drawn two of their opening four games and faces a difficult journey to San Sebastien.

Sociedad, on the other hand, has had a difficult start as La Real looks to replace Mikel Merino and Robin Le Normand, probably their most significant players, who left in the summer. Defeat would mean Sociedad's fourth consecutive league loss in front of their home fans, but Real Madrid can not expect a walkover.

Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi, Takefusa Kubo, and Mikel Oyarzabal have the potential to bother the champs.

Tottenham vs Arsenal.

All eyes will be on North London on Sunday, when Tottenham and Arsenal clash in a local derby. Clashes between these teams have frequently had a significant impact on their respective fortunes in recent seasons, as both teams strive to compete at the top of the league.

Arsenal will be missing both Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard for the North London Derby.

Each is hoping to rebound from bad results before the break, and matches between them are rarely disappointing. Arsenal, on the other hand, is dealing with injuries, with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard both certain to miss time. Spurs will scent blood.

Given the animosity and evenness of previous matches, the NLD is probably the Premier League's must-see game.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly

🏅Mateta shines as France defeats Egypt, securing a gold medal clash with Spain.

On Monday night, France hosted two Olympic semi-finals. This is what occurred. France advances to the final following a fierce clash with Egypt. In a tense contest, France rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Egypt 2-1 in extra time. After a poor start, France improved just before the interval, with Loïc Badé hitting the post after Joris Chotard's pass. Alexandre Lacazette had a golden opportunity to score in the second half, but he hesitated and ultimately missed the shot. After absorbing all of France's pressure, Egypt proceeded to the other end, where Mahmoud Saber smashed a powerful attempt into the roof of the net. The goal ignited the game, and Hamza Alaa made a wonderful save on a Jean-Philippe Mateta header. France then hit the post twice in quick succession, with Lacazette's shot and Badé's follow-up hitting the woodwork. Les Bleus equalised thanks to a brilliantly weighted ball from Michael Olise, which Mateta converted decisively. France requested for
