Roma-Real Madrid: aiming for the second victory in the Champions League

Real Madrid returns to the Champions League to play the second matchday of this group stage at the Olympic Stadium in Rome (9:00 pm CEST; Orange TV and Movistar Liga de Campeones). It will be the first away game of the competition, which Mourinho's side began with a victory against another Italian team, Inter Milan (2-1).

The goal is clear: to secure the second win in as many matches to remain at the top of the Champions League standings. Achieving this goal won't be easy against an opponent who has been having a spectacular season and remains unbeaten.

“We put pressure on ourselves because we want to win,” stated Mourinho during the pre-match press conference. Tchouameni also spoke: "It's an important match, and we want to win and keep adding points in the Champions." The midfielder is one of the 23 players included in the squad list for this match. This will be the second game in just three days, continuing an intense October, during which our team will play two more LaLiga matches, including El Clásico, and another Champions League fixture.

Roma
The team managed by Gasperini is unbeaten in official competitions, with a record of four wins and three draws. One of those draws came in their Champions League opener away against Fenerbahçe (1-1). In the Italian league, they are third with 14 points, just two behind leaders Inter Milan and Lazio. Donyell Malen, the top scorer in Serie A, leads their scoring chart with six goals, all of them in the national championship.
