The BIG game tonight spotlights on Real Madrid who battle last season finalists and resurgent German giants Borussia Dortmund in another classic showdown since 2023 final win. Kylian Mbappe and Jamie Bygone Gittens will be the Players to watch in this exciting game; both stars having spurred their clubs to recent successes.

Mbappe celebrate stunner 


The Los Blancos are considered favorite winners of this tie because of their impressive head-to-head statistics in the competition so far (W5 D2) at home at the Santiago Bernabeu.

🇫🇷Kylian Mbappe scored a stunner for the Champions in their 1-2 away victory over Celta Vigo. His blistering form might be a nightmare to the Yellow and Black men who are saddled with the task of stopping the in-form France striker from seeing the back of the net.

Jamie Bygone-Gittens

However, young English international 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Jamie Bygone Gittens on the flipside has hit an impeccable form assisting two goals in recent international games for country. He will become the youngest player to score if he does against the Los Blancos in his third European cup game. 

Bother players alongside the likes of Real Madrid's Vinicious Jnr, Rodrygo and Belligham, and Dortmund's Julian Brandt, Serhou Guirassy, and Kareem Adeyemi are also expected to light the encounter tonight.

Interestingly, Carlo Ancellotti have never drawn against the German side in all competitions (W8 L6), and the Italian tactician looks Keen to maintain that record. 


My time is UP!!!
