Match Overview
A one-goal cushion is all that separates survival from elimination as the second leg of this knockout showdown gets underway. Real Madrid return to action holding a slim 1-0 advantage, but Benfica remain well within reach of turning the tie around.
Tensions are still simmering after controversy in the first meeting, including an alleged remark from Gianluca Prestiani aimed at Vinicius Jr, adding even more edge to an already high-stakes clash. Madrid look to protect its lead and close the deal, while Benfica need a statement performance to flip the script.
