Hala Madrid! That’s what Real Madrid’s fans will be singing when their team takes on Wolfsburg in the Champions League Quarter-Final on Apr. 6 at 2.45 p.m. EST. The first leg is in Germany, so Die Wolfe will want to take a lead to Spain for the second leg. Can they get the goals? Click for the live stream to find out!
After suffering a major dip in form, where star players Cristiano, former Rihannaboyfriend Karim Benzemaand Real’s captain Sergio Ramos all suffered on the pitch, Los Blancos are starting to come good. Their recent results have been impressive, and they are ready to make a serious challenge for the Champions League this year.
Standing in their way is a very tricky Wolfsburg team that will fight till the last minute against their more experienced rivals. With Julian Draxler up top, they have one of Germany’s most promising young players of his generation. Andre Schurrle is another goal-threat that Real’s defenders will have to be wary of.
It promises to be an end-t0-end game, with both teams favoring attack over defense. Wolfsburg, in fact, have put all their eggs in the Champions League basket this term, sitting 8th in the Bundesliga. If they want Champions League qualification next year, they’re going to have to go all the way and win it.
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has already warned his troops against complacency, insisting that they will have to be on their guard because “they (Wolfsburg) will cause us problems.” Amazing professionalism from him!
It’s hard to look past Real in this one because they’ll be on a high after defeating their bitter rivals Barcelona in their last match. They will have their eyes on the main prize, and will take some beating at the moment.
