Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin looks for more Champions League magic against Real Madrid

  • At 8pm GMT today, Benfica host Real Madrid at Estadio da Luz in the first leg of a two-legged tie that concludes in Madrid next week.
  • Given recent domestic results, Benfica earned a playoff spot thanks to a late headed goal from Trubin, while Real Madrid faces season pressure after domestic setbacks.
  • Notably, Raúl Asencio is suspended and Rodrygo serves a UEFA ban, while Jude Bellingham and Éder Militão are sidelined, but Kylian Mbappé is fit and available.
  • Given the stakes, broadcasters like Amazon Prime Video and ESPN note wide coverage, while bookmakers list Real Madrid as favorites at 10, underscoring global interest.
  • Looking at personnel, Benfica's historical Champions League record shows three wins over Real Madrid, with Mourinho's defence led by Nicolás Otamendi and attack from Gianluca Prestianni enhancing their chances.
