Real Madrid arrive in Athens looking every bit like a side building toward another deep Champions League run. Los Blancos have won six straight matches in all competitions, boast a perfect record through three European games, and now get Vinicius Junior back alongside Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham in an attack that can overwhelm almost any defense. AEK Athens deserve respect at home, but recent defeats to Manchester City, Shakhtar Donetsk, PAOK, and Panathinaikos highlight the gap they're facing here. The Greek side has enough attacking quality to contribute to the scoreline, which only strengthens the case for goals, but over 90 minutes Real Madrid's depth, form, and firepower should prove decisive.
