Coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team ended the 2023/24 Champions League group stage with an absolute victory rate.

Real Madrid soon won tickets to continue in Group C of the UEFA Champions League at the top of the group. In the competition with Union Berlin away from home on the evening of December 12, “White Vulture” aims for victory to maintain its winning record.

“Los Blancos” suffered cold water at the end of the first half, when Union Berlin opened the score in the 45+1 minute thanks to Kevin Volland. However, the Royal Spanish team completed a comeback on away field, to win 3-2 against their opponents in the final series of Champions League 2023/24 group matches.

Joselu’s double in the 61st and 72nd minutes, along with Dani Ceballos’ goal in the 89th minute, helped Real Madrid get all 3 points. The Spanish midfielder scored his first goal for his parent club since January, ending a long streak of failure.

In the match at the same time, Napoli also surpassed Braga with a score of 2-0 to secure the second spot. The Italian representative got 10 points, more than Braga (4 points).

After 6 group stage matches, Real Madrid won 6, scored 16 goals and conceded 7 times. This is also the second time in history that the Madrid club has won away from home in the Champions League group stage (after the 2021/22 season).

At the present time, besides Real Madrid, only Man City maintains a winning record in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola’s team has won the previous 5 matches, and can repeat the same achievement as Real Madrid if they overcome Red Star Belgrade on the final match day of this season’s Champions League group stage.

Union Berlin showed great determination when playing at home. The German representative pressed forward to attack and they equalized 2-2 in the 85th minute, thanks to Kral.

In the 89th minute, Bellingham made a mark with a pass that allowed Dani Ceballos to score a diagonal shot, sealing a 3-2 victory for Real Madrid.

In the remaining match in the final match of Group C, Napoli defeated Braga 2-0. Real Madrid (18 points) and Napoli (10 points) won tickets to the 1/8 round. Braga (4 points) will move on to play in the Europa League and Union Berlin (2 points) will be eliminated.
