The ruthless method Los Blancos overcame Al Ahly won’t have been misplaced on the administration and gamers Al-Hilal. Whereas their efficiency in beating Flamengo was one in all their greatest ever, in an effort to repeat the feat towards the mighty Actual Madrid they might want to take it up one other degree.

Decide: Actual Madrid and Al-Hilal to attract after 90 minutes (+525)
