AEK-Real Madrid: aiming to extend the winning streak in the Champions League

Real Madrid faces a new challenge today in the Champions League. Our team visits the Allwyn Arena to take on AEK Athens in the match corresponding to the fourth round of the group stage (6:45 pm CEST; Orange TV and Movistar Liga de Campeones). The goal will be to continue the great form and secure the fourth victory in the competition.

Mourinho's team comes into this game after defeating Racing de Santander at El Sardinero (0-3) and has strung together six consecutive victories between LaLiga and the Champions League, scoring 18 goals in the process. In Europe’s top competition, they have won all three games so far, beating Inter Milan (2-1) and Leipzig (4-1) at home, and Roma (3-4) away.

“We have to play at our best, stay focused, and maintain our level of play,” stated Mourinho during the pre-match press conference. Camavinga also spoke: "We need to win to keep our confidence high." The midfielder is one of the players included in the squad for this match, which will be the second of three consecutive away games before the international break. After the clash at the Allwyn Arena, Real Madrid will face Valencia at Mestalla.
