Match Facts
1. FC Union Berlin are set to face Real Madrid for a second time, having lost 1-0 on MD1 of this season’s UEFA Champions League. Indeed, that is their only previous European game against a Spanish team.
Real Madrid won just one of their first 15 away UEFA Champions League games in Germany (D4 L10) but have since won six of their last 11 trips (D2 L3), although did lose 3-2 to RB Leipzig on their most recent game in Germany last season.
1. FC Union Berlin have lost their last two home games in European competition (v Braga and Napoli). If they lose here, they’ll have as many defeats in their last three as they did through their first 11 home matches in European competition (W5 D3 L3).
Real Madrid are looking to win their three away matches in the UEFA Champions League group stage for only the second time in the last nine seasons, doing so in 2021-22 in a campaign they went on to win the tournament.
Real Madrid have won each of their last five games in the UEFA Champions League, while they last had a longer run of consecutive victories in the competition between April 2014 and February 2015 (10 wins in a row) – also under Carlo Ancelotti.
As a team, Real Madrid have completed 88% of their passes while under pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season – in the first five matchdays, only Manchester City (90.9%) had a higher completion rate from passes made under pressure.
15.8% of 1. FC Union Berlin’s passes in the UEFA Champions League this season have been long passes – only Sevilla have a higher such percentage in the competition this term (16.6%). Indeed, the German side have the lowest pass completion rate among all 32 teams in this year’s group stage (75.7%).
Jude Bellingham has scored in his last four away UEFA Champions League group stage matches (two for Borussia Dortmund, two for Real Madrid), the only English player to ever do so. He is looking to become the first ever Real Madrid player to score in their first three away Champions League appearances for the club.
Sheraldo Becker has scored two of 1. FC Union Berlin’s four goals in the UEFA Champions League this season (50%), while he’s also created more chances for a teammate (6) than any other player for the German side.
25.6% of Toni Kroos’ passes for Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League this season have broken at least one opposition line (73/285); the highest percentage of any player in the competition in 2023-24 (min. 100 passes attempted).
