Real Madrid vs Marseille live
🔍 Match Preview
Real Madrid kick off their Champions League 2025/26 group stage campaign at the Santiago Bernabéu against French side Olympique Marseille. The 14-time European champions are among the favourites again this year, especially after strengthening their squad with Kylian Mbappé alongside Vinícius Jr. and Rodrygo.
Marseille, meanwhile, come in as underdogs but carry European pedigree of their own, having won the Champions League once. Their game plan will likely be compact defense and quick transitions. A strong performance here would boost their hopes of qualifying from the group.
