- Ronaldo to play tonight
- Both teams looking to Win
- European football season commences
Finally, the much anticipated UEFA showdown between Jose Mourinho's Manchester United and Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid comes up later tonight and as always, we are here to keep you informed on all the key events and details in the build up.
What can we expect from both teams?
As this is the first match of the season, it is naturally expected that the game would start at a slow pace and slowly build up as it progresses. However, with the attacking flair and potential both teams possess, this slow pace shouldn't last long. Even with a solid defence, Madrid can expect to be tried and tested by a renewed Man Utd side and their improved attacking firepower. Everyone keeps saying this is Pogba's season to really grow into his role at the club and he'd be looking to prove just that starting from this match.
Meanwhile, even though Madrid's pre season tour didn't go as planned, their star man Cristiano Ronaldo is back in training and expected to feature in this fixture as well. As always, alot is expected from Madrid in terms of their attacking flair and quality of their football and any fixture between a top Spanish side and their English counterparts is never taken for granted.
Most importantly, this fixture provides both teams with an opportunity to land their first competitive trophy of the season and so should provide enough motivation for the players to put in the required work and effort for our viewing pleasure.
