Oluwaseyi takes on Barcelona, St. Clair battles Orlando, and former Loons clash in Austin

If you thought last weekend’s opening MLS slate was chaotic, buckle up. This weekend’s watchlist is headlined by marquee European fixtures, fierce regional derbies, and some breaking transfer news right here in the States.

The biggest global storyline easily belongs to Tani Oluwaseyi, who is set for the ultimate test against global powerhouse Barcelona in La Liga. Stepping onto the pitch at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys to face Barca is the exact kind of high-profile matchup you circle on the calendar the moment the schedule drops.

After abruptly hitting the waiver wire earlier this week, Christian Ramirez has officially found a new home in Texas, teaming up with Joseph Rosales at Austin FC. The newly minted Loon-alumni duo won’t have to wait long for their first test, either—they host Caden Clark and DC United this Sunday in a must-watch MLS clash.

Add in Dayne St. Clair defending the net for Inter Miami in a heated Florida Derby against Orlando City, Robin Lod pulling the strings for Chicago, and Emanuel Reynoso continuing his run in Colombia, and you have a thoroughly packed weekend of soccer.

Clear your schedule, fire up your streams, and prepare for a massive three days. Here’s your complete guide to tracking former Loons across the globe this weekend.
