The reigning Champions League holders are in a very difficult situation. Carlo Ancelotti’s team is facing significant defensive problems, which have only worsened with Dani Carvajal’s serious injury. Under these circumstances, Real Madrid has to play not only against Dortmund but also in El Clásico within a week.
In La Liga, Real Madrid currently sits in second place with 24 points. Last weekend, the “Blancos” won a tough match against Celta (2-1), following a victory over Villarreal (2-0) and a draw with Atletico (1-1). In most matches this season, Real has not dominated their opponents as much, but they still manage to get the desired results.
In the Champions League, Real Madrid has only collected three points so far. In the first round, Ancelotti’s team won against Stuttgart (3-1) in a very tough game, scoring two goals in the final ten minutes. In their next match, the Madrid side suffered a shocking away defeat to Lille (0-1).
The Yellow-Blacks have not had the best start to the current season. The team is still adjusting to the demands of Nuri Sahin, who replaced Edin Terzic last summer, resulting in very unstable performances. After seven rounds, Borussia Dortmund is in seventh place in the Bundesliga, with 13 points. However, the gap to the leading Bayern is not too great—only four points.
On Friday, Borussia Dortmund struggled to beat Bundesliga newcomer St. Pauli with a score of 2-1, scoring the decisive goal at the end of the match. Before that, they lost to Union (1-2) and had a comeback victory over Bochum (4-2).
But in the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund currently holds the interim first place. In the first round, Nuri Sahin’s team thrashed Brugge away (3-0), and after that, they literally destroyed Celtic at home (2-1).
