Real Madrid play Borussia Dortmund away in the UEFA Champions League
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund
Real Madrid would want to improve on their current form to succeed in Champions League. They have been not playing well recently.
These two teams have been paired together five times in six seasons. Madrid have an edge over Dortmund. Although Dortmund have never lost at home to real Madrid.
Los Blancos won their opening game in this seasons Champions League whereas Dortmund lost to Tottenham.
Cristiano Ronaldo is back after suspension and this will boost the teams confidence. Although he didn’t score on his return against Betis.
It should be a good game on Tuesday night as both teams will give their best.
