The sides of Xabi Alonso and Igor Tudor find themselves in very different positions heading into this huge European clash at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Real have made a strong start to a season in which they're trying to recapture their crown in La Liga and Champions League. They currently top the table domestically, winning eight from their nine games so far, while they've opened their continental campaign with wins over Marseille and Kairat. Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior both look in foreboding form going into this one.

Juve appear in serious trouble, sitting seventh in the Serie A table and without a win so far in the UCL. Tudor has only been in his role since March and yet already looks vulnerable to a premature end to his three-year contract. They've now gone more than a month since recording a win, and their woes were only compounded by an embarrassing defeat to the minnows of Como on Sunday.

The Italians, however, won last time these sides met in 2018. So keep on reading to find out how you can watch Real Madrid vs Juventus in the 2025/26 Champions League.
