On Sunday, March 19th, the world will witness a sporting Super Sunday, with eyes set on Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia.
In Spain, Barcelona receives Real Madrid in what might be the decisive game for the outcome of this La Liga season. The Catalans are a reasonable distance behind Real Madrid, and with a victory on Sunday, they can start rubbing their hands with glee.
However, for that, he will have to bend Carlo Ancelotti’s set. The mission is to regain the title…”The importance of this game is well known”, said Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez. “The importance is in terms of history, rivalry and leaderboard. It won’t be decisive for the title anyway, but both teams will fight to secure the victory.”
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti, meanwhile, says that Vinicius Junior – who has suffered some disgusting racial abuse in recent weeks – should be cherished by all football fans: “Vini is reacting very well, he’s focused on the game and he loves playing football and that doesn’t affect him on the pitch.”
“At the moment it’s wonderful to be watching Vinicius, because every fan appreciates his quality. They like to see Pedri, Gavi, (Kylian) Mbappé, (Erling) Haaland. Vinicius is up there with these players and we can enjoy quality players like that”.
Still on Sunday, and hours before El Clasico, we will have the Rome derby, when the two main teams in the city face each other. Lazio and Roma enter the field at the Olímpico de Roma, to consolidate access to the Champions and feed the secular rivalry.
The two teams are separated by 2 points, with the blues in a tight second position. Roma are trying at all costs to return to the ranks of the greats and a victory puts Mourinho’s men in the Champions League.
At the same time, in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Formula1 engines will rev up for the second race of the 2023/24 season. After Red Bull’s comfortable victory in Bahrain, it is expected that Ferrari and Mercedes can put up more of a fight.
However, there are strong indications of the big surprise coming from Aston Martin, with the skill of the experienced Fernando Alonso.
And on Sunday, Father’s Day, by the way, another big derby will stir up Sunday night. At 20:45 minutes, Internacionale de Milan and Juventus enter the field to fight for honor. Inter are in second place, in a “four-way” fight for access to the Champions League, while Juventus, following having suffered a large deduction of 15 points – due to financial irregularities in player transfers, want to regain ground lost. Inter v Juventus can relaunch the “Old Lady” campaign for access to European competitions, but their supporters cannot get too excited regarding the team’s momentum.
All these major sporting events will be covered in full and in detail on the SuperSport channels, exclusively on DStv.
