Three talking points ahead of Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund | UEFA Champions League .

It has been several years since Barcelona produced a team capable of winning the world. This year, Hansi Flick has brewed something unique. With just over two months to go in the season, Barcelona is legitimately in contention for La Liga, the UEFA Champions League, and the Copa del Rey. They are one game away from winning the cup, and if they defeat Real Madrid in the crucial Clasico next month, they will almost certainly win La Liga. As a result, the UEFA Champions League is the competition in which they are furthest away from winning the trophy. There is still a lot of work to be done in the European championship, and Barcelona will meet Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals. The first of two legs against Niko Kovac's team will take place tonight in Catalonia, with the second slated for next week. Flick's team comes into the game off a draw against Real Betis and will be eager to bounce back to winning ways in the league. Barça Universal presents you three talkin...

Real Madrid against Valencia: Three critical clashes to watch.


Following their extra-time success over Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey semi-final, Real Madrid will return to La Liga action against Valencia at Santiago Bernabeu.

This will be another vital game for the Merengues, who are now three points behind Barcelona in the league table and cannot afford to lose any more points in order to compete for the league crown.

However, as is customary, Valencia will do everything in their power to defeat Los Blancos, not only because of their mutual hostility, but also because they need all three points to stay out of the relegation zone.

As a result, this will be a very engaging game, and the following three confrontations will be very fascinating for fans:

Vinicius Junior versus Max Aarons.


Valencia is one of the most despised opponents of Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior, and only in the most recent encounter between the two sides was the Brazilian the center of attention after receiving a pretty unfair red card for an argument with goalie Stole Dimitrievski.

Thus, the winger will be seeking to exact revenge on Valencia today at the Bernabeu, and this will be an excellent opportunity for him. First and foremost, he will be coming off a strong performance in the Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad.

Second, he will not face Dimitri Foulquier, the visitors' regular right-back, because he is suspended for this game. Max Aarons, an Englishman who has only played 30 minutes in one La Liga game this season, is slated to start in his place against the Merengues, and he will undoubtedly be an easier opponent for Vinicius than Foulquier.

Enzo Barrenechea versus Federico Valverde


Perhaps the most exciting struggle in this game will be in the midfield, where Enzo Barrenechea, one of Valencia's most impressive players this season, and Federico Valverde are set to compete for dominance of the middle of the pitch.

The Argentine midfielder provides valuable defensive coverage for Carlos Corberan's team, averaging 2.1 tackles and 3.9 ball recoveries per game, according to Sofascore data.

Meanwhile, Federico Valverde has been one of Real Madrid's most consistent players, and he will be trying to dominate this duel with his incredible stamina and battling spirit.

Diego Lopez versus Lucas Vazquez


Diego Lopez has been one of Valencia's most efficient strikers this season, with 7 goals and 4 assists despite his team's troubles. He will undoubtedly be eager to add to these totals today against Los Blancos.

This assignment will be made easier for him by Lucas Vazquez returning to the starting lineup as the Merengues' right-back, while Federico Valverde is likely to play in midfield.

The Spaniard is nowhere like as excellent at defending as he is at attacking, so he will need to perform better than he did in his previous game to keep Lopez from causing significant damage to the Real Madrid goal.

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 ...
