Champions League have reached the final stage on the group stage – today will be the last eight games in the group stage. Very interesting game should be in Madrid, where Real Madrid will meet Borussia Dortmund.
Real Madrid having already qualified for the Champions League knockout stages as runners-up in Group H with a 6-0 romp over APOEL in Nicosia. For the first time since the 2011-12 season, Dortmund have failed to reach the CL last 16.
They have just two points – the same with bottom-placed APOEL, who make the trip to Tottenham, so where‘s not much chances that APOEL could qualify to the Europa League.
Borussia aren‘t in their best shape at moment but of course they going to Madrid to win the game because Real Madrid also has some problems – they have won just two times in the last five games but they didn‘t lose any of them.
Germany‘s side has more difficulties – the last time when they have won the game was October 24. Borussia couldn't win in seven consecutive games – three draws and four defeats.
Interesting that Borussia have never won at Bernabeu (2 draws, 4 losses), where Madrid are still unbeaten in the Champions League under Zinedine Zidane. So there‘s a chance that Los Blancos will this game and of course they want to get a morale-boosting win ahead of Saturday’s La Liga clash with Sevilla.
Real Madrid have scored at least two goals in their last five home matches against Borussia Dortmund. The last meeting against these two teams in Dortmund have finished on Madrid victory 3-1.
Also there‘s a lot of chances that Cristiano Ronaldo will score at least one goal against Borussia because he have scored minimum one goal in each five group stage games this season. Two weeks ago he have scored two goals against APOEL and he‘s a top-scorer in the tournament
