Vinicius vs. Leao and Real vs. Milan at the Bernabeu

Manos Staramopoulos • 4 de noviembre de 2024

The two most winning teams in the history of the Champions League, face each other in Madrid with Vinicius and Leao as big stars

Vinicius and Rafael Leao, two stars of Real Madrid vs AC Milan game of Champions League in Madrid.

Vinicius had an impressive performance in matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League. With an amazing hat-trick he saved his team from defeat, in their game against Borussia Dortmund. So Real prevailed 5-2 and while everyone was deifying the 24-year-old Brazilian winger, who, based on inaccurate information, had assumed and certainly believed (like everyone in Europe) that on Monday, October 28, he would receive the "Ballon D’ Or " noblest and greatest individual award worldwide. But that didn't happen. Manchester City's Spanish defensive midfielder Rodri topped the votes, a fact that certainly didn't sit well not only with Rodri, but perhaps even more so with the club's president, Florentino Perez. Who, instead of thinking a second, maybe even a third time, made a hasty decision not to go to Paris for the top football celebration.

In any case, this has passed and now AC Milan will host Milan on Tuesday, November 5th, in the context of the 4th round of the League phase of the Champions League. A former European champion, but far from the one of the past. Of course, we must not forget that it remains a game and one can never prejudge the result.

But Real, which will not have in its eleven, the international Austrian, David Alaba. Their captain international right-back Dani Carvajal and their Belgian international goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (all three injured) will have to be quite careful. The "Bernabeu" will be boiling, of course, but history shows that these two teams in their 15 matches in the Champions League have 6 wins each and 3 draws.

So Vinicius, Mbappe and their company will have to be very careful and sweat their shirt for good against Milan.

On the other hand, the Portuguese coach of the red devils, Paulo Fonseca, is certainly not having his best days in the team. Not a few times he has found his back against the wall, as the results are what judge each coach, good or bad. Milan is not in the best playing condition, but with the Portuguese Rafael Leao, it can cause enough problems for the not particularly strong defense of the Spaniards. Then there is also Álvaro Morata, a very good forward who knows his compatriots almost perfectly and will try to make them suffer.

The 7-time European champions are currently outside the 8th place in the overall UEFA Champions League standings, which automatically qualifies for the knockout stages. 16 and she will have to fight with all her strength... We will know what will happen tonight..
