The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Union Berlin take on Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in an important encounter at the Olympiastadion Berlin on Tuesday.
Union Berlin vs Real Madrid Preview
Union Berlin are currently in 15th place in the Bundesliga standings and have largely failed to meet expectations so far this season. The home side secured a crucial 3-1 victory against Borussia Monchengladbach over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are in second place in the La Liga table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. Los Blancos were held to a 1-1 draw by Real Betis in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
