Lars Baron/Getty Images Share articleA new sporting week is upon us and we’re about to enter the sharp end of the Champions League season. The semi-finals soon get underway and The Athletic will have live coverage of both first legs on Tuesday and Wednesday. Beyond that, two of the highlights of the horse racing calendar take place at Churchill Downs on Friday and Saturday, while the Formula One season resumes after a long hiatus with the Miami Grand Prix. To round things off, we’ll have live coverage of the Premier League game between Manchester United and Liverpool at Old Trafford, where both sides are looking to nail down Champions League spots for next season.  You can get involved at any point over the course of the week by emailing us at live@theathletic.com and we’ll aim to include your thoughts in our coverage.  Here is the full live schedule for this week through Sunday, May 3.  Two European giants go head-to-head in the first of two Champions League semi-finals this week, with last season’s winners PSG hosting Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes.  Both teams have looked impressive in the knockout stages of the competition, with Bayern seeing off Real Madrid and PSG cruising past Chelsea in the previous round. The winner of this semi-final, you would think, will be the favorite to lift the trophy in Budapest next month.  Focus then switches to the Spanish capital, where Atletico Madrid welcome Arsenal for the second Champions League semi-final of the week.  Atletico earned a spot in the final four courtesy of a quarter-final victory against Spanish rivals Barcelona, while Arsenal defeated Portuguese side Sporting CP. Neither team have won the men’s Champions League, so managers Diego Simeone and Mikel Arteta will be desperate to build a lead ahead of next week’s second leg. Churchill Downs in Louisville will once again command the attention of the sporting world this week, and Kentucky Oaks is guaranteed to be one of the highlights. The race for three-year-old fillies is this year being staged for the 152nd time and lays claim to being one of the longest-running sports events in the U.S. A total prize purse of $1.5 million is up for grabs in the Kentucky Oaks, which is the final of Friday’s 13 races and will serve as a curtain-raiser to Saturday’s Kentucky Derby.  With the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix both cancelled due to the conflict in the Middle East, the Formula One season returns on Friday after a four-week break.  Miami is this week’s host destination, and we’ll have live coverage of practice and sprint qualifying in the shadow of Hard Rock Stadium as Mercedes drivers Kimi Antonelli and George Russell look to continue their strong starts to the season.  The first leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby takes place at Churchill Downs on Saturday in what’s known as the most exciting two minutes in sports.  We’ll have build-up throughout the day, culminating in the race itself at 6.57 p.m. ET (3.57 p.m. PT). The first championship points of the weekend will be up for grabs in Miami on Saturday when the 100-kilometer sprint race gets underway at 12 p.m. ET (9 a.m. PT). That will be followed by qualifying for Sunday’s Grand Prix — so a significant day in the context of the weekend and the wider F1 season. The Premier League season is reaching its conclusion, and away from the title race between Arsenal and Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool will contest the pick of the weekend’s games. Both sides are on course to qualify for next season’s Champions League and there are bragging rights on the line at Old Trafford. To conclude our live F1 coverage for the week, we’ll turn our attention to the main event in Miami. Can Russell and Antonelli extend their lead at the top of the standings, or will the chasing Ferraris start to close the gap?  Join us on Sunday to find out. The race begins at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT) with the 19-year-old Antonelli looking to make it three wins on the bounce.  Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms
