Prediction: 3-2
AS Roma
MetLife Stadium in New Jersey will host Wednesday’s football game between Real Madrid and AS Roma, who face each other at the 2018 International Champions Cup. Real Madrid aim to build on a 3-1 win over Juventus where Gareth Bale scored a wonder goal for los Blancos. In Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence Bale is undisputedly the team’s key player and all eyes will be on him when the two teams face each other in Wednesday’s warm-up game. Real Madrid are more of a team than Roma and despite the fact that Barcelona defeated Barcelona earlier this month, we are tempted to put our money on Julen Lopetegui’s troops. When two teams face each other in the Champions League knockout stages two years ago Real Madrid emerged triumphant in the double-header against Roma, meaning that the Giallorossi suit los Blancos, who enjoy playing against the Serie A teams.
Highlighted Player (Marcelo):
Marcelo is a Brazilian football player who has always been compared with Robero Carlos. The pacey full back has a very powerful shoot and he often makes life difficult for opposition defenders. Marcelo was born in Rio de Janeiro on 12 May, 1988 and he played for Fluminense during his youth career. He made 30 league appearances for Flu and in 2007 he joined Real Madrid.
The Brazilian ace made his Real Madrid debut against Deportivo La Coruna on 7 January, 2007, coming as a substitute in the second half of the match. He made his first start in a 2-1 loss to Racing de Santander. Marcelo won two Champions League trophies with los Blancos (2013/2014, 2015/2016), while clinching three La Liga titles (2006/2007, 2007/2008, 2011/2012).
The Real Madrid full back represented Brazil at the 2008 Summer Olympics and he won the bronze medal with the Selecao. Four years later, the Brazilians won the silver medal at the Summer Olympics in London. Marcelo’s contract with Real Madrid expires on 30 June, 2020.
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico.

The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
