Prediction: 3-1
Celtic
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Girona, Real Madrid will look to secure first place in the Champions League Group F when they host Real Madrid to their Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Los Blancos have been impressive at home ground this term, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Fede Valverde is back to the starting line-up after missing the Leipzig game with injury, while key attacker Karim Benzema remains in the recovery room.
As a result, Rodrygo will continue to lead the line for the Spanish champions. The Hoops, on the other hand, are having yet another Champions League campaign to forget, and seeing that they have little to play for in the last group game, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. All Welsh, McGregor, and Starfelt miss out with injuries for the Scottish outfit.
Highlighted Player (Karim Benzema):
Striker Karim Benzema came through his youth club Bron Terraillon in Olympique Lyon were he went through all the youth teams.
On January 15, 2005 Benzema made his debut for the first team of Lyon that season but did not have much playing time. In the 2007-2008 season he was indeed a permanent fixture in the team and he got his break . He grew that season right into a crowd favorite and clubs like Arsenal, Juventus, Manchester United, Real Madrid and AC Milan showed interest in him.
Benzema in 2008 (like 2005, 2006, and 2007) was in the champions with Olympique Lyon and had no interest in leaving France. In 2008, Karim was named best French footballer.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
