Seventh in the League phase going into this European week, Real Madrid is in a comfortable position to advance directly to the round of 16 of the
Champions League via the top 8. But this strictly accounting assessment does not obscure the important work of the Spanish club. Hanging on Sunday against the modest formation of Elche in La Liga (2-2), this Real is struggling to show continuity in its performances. The Merengue will have a response to give in Greece, this Wednesday, in the bustling atmosphere of the Karaïskaki Stadium in Piraeus (kick-off at 9 p.m.).
Once again, all eyes will be on Kylian Mbappé. The captain of the Blues sparked a heated controversy by frolicking in the championship on Sunday a week after being excused from the selection’s trip to Azerbaijan. But Mbappé did not score on Sunday – an unusual occurrence for him. Like his friends Vinicius, Jude Bellingham or Arda Güler, the former Parisian will try to create sparks in an enclosure that he will discover.
The expected compositions
Olympiacos : Tzolakis; Rodinei, Retsos, Pirola, Ortega; Garcia, Mouzakitis; Martins, Chiquinho, Podence; El Kaabi.
real Madrid : Courteous; Alexander-Arnold, Asencio, Huijsen, Carreras; Valverde, Camavinga, Guler; Bellingham; Mbappé, Vinicius.
