Matchday 8 of the UEFA Champions League is upon us and two key U.S. men\u2019s national team players will meet with hopes of helping their clubs conclude the league phase on a positive note. <\/p>\n
Weston McKennie <\/strong>and Juventus travel to Folarin Balogun <\/strong>and Monaco on Wednesday night. McKennie and Juventus are currently in 15th place in the league phase and could finish in the top-eight with a victory at the Stade Louis II. McKennie has continued to play a key role in Luciano Spalletti\u2019s squad, scoring in three-straight UCL appearances. <\/p>\n Balogun and Monaco are just above the red line in the table, but just barely heading into the final day. The Ligue 1 club are one point clear in 21st place and will need points in order to clinch a spot into the playoff round. Balogun has three UCL goals to his name this season and will be hoping he can add to that total in a crucial match. <\/p>\n Elsewhere, Johnny Cardoso<\/strong> and Atletico Madrid host Bodo\/Glimt in Champions League action while Tim Weah<\/strong> and Marseille visit Club Brugge.
