Wednesday’s Champions League programme: Union Berlin vs Real Madrid, Bayern vs United and Arsenal comeback

Wednesday’s Champions League programme had all football fans around the world in mind. We will see one big showpiece, but also Arsenal’s return to the elite.

Real Madrid – Union Berlin

Union Berlin are on an unflattering run of two consecutive defeats in the Bundesliga and are eighth in the table. Now the German team travels to Spain to face the most successful team in Champions League history.

Berlin will play against Real Madrid at the iconic Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday. The Spanish gigant has got a strong midfield with Jude Bellingham, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Eduardo Camavinga or Federico Valverde. The duel is scheduled from 18:45 and you will catch each other and the later showdowns.

Bayern Munich – Manchester United

The biggest draw of Wednesday’s programme is the clash between Bayern Munich and Manchester United. The upstart Bavarian side will take on the struggling Red Devils, who are 13th in the Premier League and were dismantled at home by Brighton at the weekend.

It is important for United to enter the Champions League well, lest they happen to have further problems with promotion. Galatasaray have strengthened strongly and will certainly want to attack the eighth-finals.

Arsenal – PSV

After six long years, Arsenal will once again play in the Champions League. In the millionaire’s competition, the draw has assigned them a group that clearly favours them for the first place. In addition to PSV, the Gunners will face Sevilla and Lens.

Benfica – Salzburg

This match could have also featured Czech participation, but David Jurasek is still out of action and will not take part in the match. However, two ex-Slavic players, Alexander Bah and Petar Musa, should not be missing.

All matches on Wednesday’s schedule:

Galatasaray – Copenhagen 18:45
Real Madrid – Union Berlin 18:45
Arsenal – PSV 21:00
Bayern – Manchester United 21:00
Benfica – Salzburg 21:00
Braga – Napoli 21:00
Real Sociedad – Inter 21:00
