Real Madrid Eyes UCL Glory Against AEK Athens

Real Madrid is set to face AEK Athens in their fourth UEFA Champions League match, aiming to maintain a perfect record in the competition. Following a recent win, the Spanish giants are favored to secure their fourth consecutive victory.

Manager Jose Mourinho confirmed that Vinicius Junior will start, indicating potential squad rotations with players like Brahim Diaz or Alvaro Carreras possibly featuring. The inclusion of Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, who have been crucial to Real Madrid's success this season, is also anticipated, especially Mbappe who has scored in every UCL game thus far.

Real Madrid has been in impressive form since the international break, winning six consecutive matches and scoring 18 goals. In contrast, their opponents, AEK Athens, are struggling, sitting 27th in the Champions League with only one win and a significant number of goals conceded. They are also not performing at their best domestically.

Despite the perceived weaker opposition, both Real Madrid and Mourinho acknowledge that no Champions League game is easy. However, with their current momentum, Real Madrid is expected to secure another victory.
