Champions League Double Header: Real Madrid and Juventus Seek to Maintain Dominance
The new Champions League group stage format is set to get underway on Tuesday evening, with some of Europe’s biggest names in the spotlight. Real Madrid, fresh from their 15th European title win last season, will be looking to make a statement as they take on Borussia Dortmund.
Real Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund: A clash of the titans
Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the 2016 Champions League final will be fresh in the minds of the Spanish giants as they prepare for this evening’s showdown. The reigning champions, under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, have been in scintillating form, with just one loss since the start of the season. However, they will be aware of the need to find stability at the back, having conceded only one goal in their last seven matches.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, have struggled to find consistency, with 12 goals shipped in their last four away matches. Despite this, they will be buoyed by their 7-1 thrashing of Celtic in the last round of matches before the international break. The Germans have shown flashes of brilliance in their last three games, and will hope to cause an upset against their Spanish opponents.

Juventus vs. Stuttgart: A mismatch on paper
Juventus, under the guidance of Thiago Motta, have been on a roll, opening their Champions League campaign with a stunning 3-2 away win against RB Leipzig. The Old Lady will be looking to make a statement as they take on a stuttering Stuttgart side, who have lost three of their last four matches.
Stuttgart’s season has been marked by defensive inconsistencies, with the visitors shipping an average of three goals per game. Juventus, confident in their own abilities, will be seeking to capitalize on their opponents‘ weaknesses and take all three points.
