Hello football fans.

Things got interesting in Germany on Saturday, but first, the headlines.

Leipzig sacked their manager, Jesse Marsch this week.

Der Klassiker

This year's Der Klassiker wasn't exactly a classic.

The first half of the match was exciting with both Dortmund and Bayern Munich going end to end without incident.

The second half, however, things took a ugly turn.

Dortmund's Julian Brant suffered a head injury colliding with a Bayern player and was carried off by a stretcher.

Then, with the game tied 2-2, Bayern was awarded a penalty.

As a result, Bayern's star, Robert Lewandowski scored on the penalty, which eventually gave his team the 3-2 victory.

Dortmund's manager, Marco Rose, was livid with the call and confronted the referee.

For his effort, Rose was red carded and sent off in the 76th minute.

Bundesliga

Union Berlin defeated Leipzig 2-1 in a rather entertaining match.

Freiburg trounced Gladbach 6-0.

La Liga

Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 2-0.

Ligue 1

This week, I caught some French league action.

Bordeaux and Lyon played to a 2-2 draw.

UEFA Champions League

Real Madrid defeated Inter Milan 2-0.

Inter's Nicolo Barella was sent off in the second for punching Real Madrid's Eder Militao in the leg.

Finally, Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona 3-0.

Barcelona has been eliminated from the Champions League.

That's all I have for today.

Stay safe, stay healthy.
