The European Qualifiers get back underway on Thursday and include some major matchups that will have huge implications for their respective groups. The top two sides in each group make it through to the tournament, while the third place sides duke it out in a playoff.
Here are the matches with biggest implications on Thursday.
Poor Real Madrid. Despite its public pursuit, the Spanish titans walked away from the transfer window without its new number one goalie. David De Gea was destined to be the heir to Iker Casillas for club and country, but for the time being it seems that this will not be the case.
Now the team will have to go through January without an elite keeper. Or will they?
Manchester United continued to embarrass itself at the close of the transfer window with a rather shocking move. David De Gea was about to fulfill his destiny to go to Real Madrid. The deal was made, and in return, it seemed that the Red Devils would acquire the services of elite keeper Keylor Navas.
Something unexpected happened this weekend. For the first time in history, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo failed to score goals in two consecutive league games.

The Spanish league kicked off this past weekend, pitting Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in their first big tests of the year.

Ronaldo had not gotten any official match time up to this point and would try to shake off the rust from a rather mediocre preseason.
Real Madrid or Barcelona? The Spanish league season gets underway in one day, and that is the question likely to dominate from this weekend all the way through the spring. Though Atlético Madrid and Valencia are capable contenders, most would agree that the perennial rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona is what will likely determine the title at the end of the season. Which side is better? Here is a breakdown of the two teams.
The Messi Ronaldo rivalry is always one of the highlights of the soccer season. For years the two titans have come at one another from a distance. Goals and titles were always their main means of doing battle. For years, Lionel Messi was the undisputed winner in both areas, but of late he has lagged a bit in the former department despite being the runaway winner in the latter.
