Union Berlin-Real Madrid is a match valid for the sixth day of the group stage of the Champions League and is played Tuesday at 9 p.m.: TV, lineups, predictions.
Real Madrid sure of first place. Union Berlin, on the other hand, hoping for qualification to the next Europa League. In short, in terms of motivation there should be no match. And this could really be the “resounding” result of the last round of this group stage of the Champions League.
So, let’s recap, especially the situation of the Germans. At the moment Bonucci and his teammates occupy the last place in their group with two points. Braga – who will be playing in Naples – on the other hand, is third with four. Since the other challenge in the grouping is decisive – Mazzarri’s Azzurri must win to be sure of first place, but they could also draw – Union Berlin hopes to have chances to continue their European campaign this season. How? By beating Real Madrid and also hoping Napoli will do their homework.
Now, Ancelotti is someone who has never given anything to anyone throughout his long and successful career, however, as mentioned before, with first place secure and with a fight in La Liga getting complicated after Girona’s victory against Barcelona, then the Blancos’ thoughts right now might really be on the league and not on a game that, for the Spaniards, has no value. So here it is that “resounding” could materialize in Germany.
The prediction
In a match that in any case one goal per team should give it away, it is quite easy to think that motivation could make the difference. A challenge that Union Berlin might be able to win in order to hope for a Napoli victory as a result, which would allow the Germans to go to the Europa League. Yes, it just might be there.
