Olympiacos face a critical juncture as they look to secure a spot in the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League. Hosting Real Madrid presents a prime opportunity to claim their first victory in the tournament, having already suffered two losses and recorded two draws. The intensity of the matchup underscores the urgency for Olympiacos to capitalize on home advantage.

Real Madrid approach this encounter with a sense of determination. Stumbling slightly in La Liga with some disappointing results, Los Merengues are eager to rebound and secure a win that keeps them in contention near the top of the Champions League standings, currently led by Bayern Munich.

With Kylian Mbappe taking the field against Olympiacos, Real Madrid aim to demonstrate that their domestic league performance is no reflection of their prowess in the Champions League, having secured three victories out of four games, succumbing to just one defeat.
