On Tuesday, October 22, Real Madrid is set to host Borussia Dortmund in a highly anticipated rematch of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League final. The match will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, with kickoff scheduled for 9 PM local time (19:00 GMT).
This encounter comes just four months after Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley Stadium to claim their 15th Champions League title. The goals in that final were scored by Dani Carvajal and VinÃcius Júnior.
Dortmund, currently seventh in the Bundesliga, will be seeking revenge and looking to capitalize on Real Madrid’s recent form. Los Blancos suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat to Lille in their last Champions League match, ending their 36-game unbeaten streak. Meanwhile, Dortmund has been in mixed form but has shown strong attacking prowess, particularly with players like Serhou Guirassy, who has scored seven goals in as many matches this season.
Real Madrid, bolstered by the return of key players such as Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo, VinÃcius Júnior, and Thibaut Courtois from injuries, will aim to get their title defense back on track. The team is expected to field a strong lineup, with Lucas Vázquez filling in for the injured Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão and Antonio Rüdiger shoring up the defense.
The match is anticipated to be high-scoring, given the attacking strengths of both teams. Real Madrid’s forward line, featuring Mbappé, VinÃcius Júnior, and Rodrygo, is expected to pose significant challenges to Dortmund’s defense. Betting experts predict a high-scoring game, with odds favoring Real Madrid to win and both teams to score.
Fans can watch the match live on various streaming platforms, including Paramount+ in the US, TNT Sports in the UK, DAZN in Canada, and Stan Sport in Australia.
