Champions League Showdown: Real Madrid vs. Olympiacos

Monday, 15 October 07, 09:20 PM

The Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Real Madrid will certainly be at full capacity on Wednensday, October 24, when Spanish La Liga champions Real Madrid host Greek Super League champions Olympiacos for a group stage match of the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League tournament. Ruud Van Nistelrooy of Real Madrid

Real Madrid and Olympiacos both lead Group C of the UEFA Champions League with 4 points, and their Ocotber 24 match at the Santiago Bernabeu could result with one of them taking the solo lead for Group C.

Real Madrid's last UEFA Champions league was an away match at Italian Serie A Club Lazio and resulted in a 2-2 draw. Meanwhile, Olympiacos was able to upset German Bundesliga club Werder Bremen 3-1 in Germany in order to move up to 4 points and tie Real Madrid at the top of Group C.

Real Madrid look to have the home-pitch advantage at the Santiago Bernabeu, but Olympiacos is looking to be in top form against the Madridsta's with the likes of Ieroklis Stoltidis, Darko Kovacevic, Christos Patsatzoglo, Luciano Galleti, Raul Bravo and Lomana LuaLua to help the Olympiacos campaign.

Of course, Real Madrid will be relying on this season's current Champions League top goal scorer Ruud van Nistelrooy, UEFA Champions League all-time goal scoring leader Raul and a stellar cast that includes Julio Baptista, Wesley Sneijder, Sergio Ramos, Guti and Fabio Cannavaro.

La Liga champions Real Madrid have not yet lost at the Santiago Bernabeu in their Spanish La Liga campaign, and they were successful last September for their first Champions League home match of the season against Werder Bremen, beating the German Bundesliga side 2-1. Definitely, it won't be easy for Olympiacos to score an away win at the Santiago Bernabeu, given the recent results of Real Madrid at home. However, there's always a first time for everything, and maybe Real Madrid's first loss at home this season might be given by an inspired Olympiacos side.

Olympiacos haven't lost a game this season, but they're 2 wins and 2 draws standing in the Greek Super League only finds them at 3rd place in the standings.
