Real Madrid heads to France looking to secure their second consecutive victory in the UEFA Champions League against Lille. The champions are currently unbeaten this season, ranking second in La Liga, and recently defeated Stuttgart 3-1 in their opening match of the Champions League. Lille, on the other hand, has had a rough start, with three wins in six Ligue 1 matches and a 2-0 loss to Sporting Lisbon in their first Champions League match. With a wealth of attacking talent, including Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe, Madrid is favored to win.

State of Play
