One of the most highly anticipated matches for Tuesday's Champions League will be between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in a re-run of what was the last entertaining final of the competition last year, where Los Blancos won another European trophy thanks to goals from Carvajal and Vinicuis Jr.

This time Carvajal will not be there to break the 0-0 tie, as the Real Madrid full-back and captain was out for the entire season after his serious injury against Villareal. However, the betting sites also believe that Los Blancos are firm favourites to win at the Santiago Bernabéu, as they have made them favourites with odds of up to 1.48, in the June final they were favourites at 1.66.

Real Madrid already overcame a difficult first hurdle when they visited Cetla de Vigo at Balaídos, as Celta had had very good results there. Mbappe and Vinicius scored a 2-1 win for Dortmund, and they will now host the Germans, but also have their sights set on the weekend's derby against Barcelona.

Dortmund won 2-1 at home in the last league game against St Pauli. Guinean striker Guirassy scored again and it could be argued that he is the hottest player in the world. Guirassy scored 5 goals for his national team in the last international break, a goal that gave them the win in the last game, and before that he had scored 2 against Celtic in the Champions League and two against Bochum in the Bundesliga.
