MATCH PREDICTION
Real Madrid have needed a bit of tactical pragmatism and flexibility this season to try and adjust to the loss of Toni Kroos and arrival of Kylian Mbappe. Carlo Ancelotti has often been seen as the ‘galactico whisperer’ but Los Blancos will require a bit more attention before they are back to their absolute best. Borussia Dortmund can be excellent, as shown with a 7-1 win over Celtic, or genuinely grim to watch with an inconsistency and arrogance that shouldn’t be permitted at the Yellow and Blacks. Madrid should win with their home advantage, too, but Dortmund will expect to threaten on the counter-attack due to some of Madrid’s frailties.
