Union Berlin Team News

Despite a series of record losses in recent months, Union Berlin enters this match with a glimmer of hope to secure a place in the second-most important European football competition. Positioned at the bottom of the group standings with two points from five played matches, the Berlin club could secure third place in Group C if they achieve a victory on Tuesday at their stadium against Real Madrid, and Napoli defeats Braga at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.

While this may seem like a challenging task, Union Berlin’s optimism could be boosted by a likely weakened Real Madrid lineup, considering that the visitors have already secured a spot in the knockout stage with a perfect record so far. Additionally, Union is strengthened by the fact that they ended a series of failures with a 3-1 victory against Monchengladbach last Saturday. Before that win, Union had not secured a victory in their last 16 matches, with 13 losses and three draws.

Real Madrid Team News

On the other hand, Real Madrid travels to Germany after a 1-1 draw away against Real Betis in the last round of LaLiga, where, after 16 matches in the Spanish league, they sit in second place on the standings with 39 points, trailing the leader Girona by two points.

In terms of the Champions League competition, the most decorated European club has already concluded its group stage duties. With 15 points from the first five played matches, Real confidently holds the top spot in Group C. Therefore, it’s entirely logical that coach Carlo Ancelotti, dealing with numerous injury issues, will rest key players like Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo on Tuesday. However, even without them on the field, the Madrid team cannot be underestimated.
