On their side, Real Madrid will try to maintain their place in the Top 8 and can count on Kylian Mbappé in pursuit of a crazy record held by Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the last Champions League match for the Madrid team, the French striker scored a double, allowing him to reach 11 goals in this edition of the competition.
This total allowed him to equal Cristiano Ronaldo’s record, who also scored 11 goals during the group stage of the 2015-16 edition.
This Wednesday evening against Benfica, Mbappé will have the opportunity to surpass his idol if he scores.
Of course, this potential feat should be put into context, given that it took Kylian Mbappé 7 matches to break a record that Cristiano Ronaldo set in an era of the Champions League where teams only played six matches in the group stage.
