Roma vs Real Madrid 27 November 2018

We are on our way to Champions League Day 5! Just before deciding which teams will lead their groups, Roma and Real Madrid will face. Roma vs Real Madrid 27 November 2018 will definitely be a match to watch!

Roma: Up to Now

Roma started the Champions League 2018 with a Real Madrid match again, yet they lost the first meetup. After that, Roma has beaten all their rivals, sitting at the second position before the Day 5. Edin Dzeko shines as the main forward player with five goals scored. Also, the wonderkid Cengiz Under has helped his team triumph with two goals. There are no suspended players for the Real Madrid match in Roma, but they suffer from injuries. Diego Perotti and Daniele de Rossi are injured and will probably miss Day 5 of Champions League. Yet, the main squad seems strong and ready for the big clash. They have beaten Sampdoria in Serie A and will face Udinese just before Real. If Roma beat Real on Day 5, they will have a great chance of finishing the Group G as the leader.

Real Madrid: Los Galacticos as the Leader

The latest cup holder Real Madrid has started the Group G with the Roma win of 3-0. Although they are at the 6th position in their local league, La Liga, they came strong in Champions League. Real Madrid is the leader of Group G with the same points as AS Roma. Despite they have been playing a good soccer, some injuries gave them a headache. After beating Roma, they have lost to CSKA Moskva shockingly. In their defense line, Marcelo and Varane will miss upcoming matches. Real boss Santiago Solari will have to find a way to stop Roma’s attacking wings in the absence of great defenders. Although the defenders are lost, Karim Benzema tries to carry the team to the victory with his three goals in Champions League this year. There is no doubt even a wounded Real Madrid would make rivals tremble.

Roma vs Real Madrid 27 November 2018 will be at 20:00 GMT. Despite not being their top form, Real Madrid will want to hold on to their leadership of the group, whereas Roma will work hard to take it from the latest cup winners.

Manchester United vs Juventus 23 October 2018

This year’s Champions League draw brought Cristiano Ronaldo and his former boss back together. Manchester United vs Juventus 23 October 2018 will be one of the most exciting matches of Champions League Group Stages. Two deep-rooted clubs of Europe will be facing each other for the three points.

Manchester United: The Red Devils

After Sir Alex Ferguson has retired, Manchester United had a hard time to get back on their feet. Since 2013, they have assigned four different coaches to the team. And, with the first three, they haven’t had the chance to rise like in the old days. The last one, Jose Mourinho, has a successful history of coaching as any soccer lover would remember. He tried to change the team’s chemistry by scouting young talents and bringing new ideas to the pitch. Yet, he could not stop the team from getting the worst start to the Premier League in the last 29 years. Although things are not looking as shiny as it was once before for Manchester United, they are a big club with a deep background. They can still make other European clubs tremble with only their name.

Juventus: 120-year-old Zebra

Juventus were always a big threat in the Champions League for their rivals. They have a great record of successes in Europe’s big stage. Yet, they have been unlucky in the finals: they have played in 9 finals, but only won the 2 of them. But still, Juventus were counted among the top 5 clubs of the League. Last year, they have faced Real Madrid, who were (and are) quarterfinals the Cup. After losing the first match in the quarter finals, a 3-1 win did not help them go through. Also, this year, Juventus has signed Cristiano Ronaldo. To some, Ronaldo is the best player ever touched the face of the earth. And, he seems to be proving this with his never-failing performance in Juve, too. Despite he was sent off against Valencia, he will play against his former club and his former boss from Real. It will definitely be an interesting match-up to watch.

Manchester United vs Juventus 23 October 2018

This game will be bringing two giants of football together. Cristiano Ronaldo will play against both his former club and his former boss. Both teams have great successes in their past. So, it will be a tactical war between the giants. Tell us which team are you supporting in this clash? And, which team do you think will go further in the Cup?

Barcelona

Barcelona is the leader in La Liga and still unbeaten by other Spanish teams. Their closest follower is Atletico Madrid by 8 points.

They have a lot of potentials. There are many reasons why it won’t be easy: their progress, their trainer, Monchi. Many reasons.

Eusebio di Francesco, the coach of Roma, has stated:

We’re happy with the draw because we’re proud to be in the quarter-finals,” Di Francesco said on Saturday. We know we’ll be up against one of the best teams in the world with the best player in the world, Messi. We’ll approach the tie with a positive mindset.

Authorities give higher odds for Barcelona’s win (65 percent) at the end of 90 minutes. On the other hand, Chelsea’s probability of the win is seen around 15 percent. Their job is especially hard considering the fact that Barcelona hasn’t lost any games in their home since August 2017.
