Champions League: Ronaldo meets the former club ManUnited

Bayern Munich is part of Group E with David Alaba at AEK Athens. After a dry season last weekend, Germany, the winning champion, is aiming for a second win in the third match. The same goes for Manchester City in Group F, near Shakhtar Donetsk. The defending champion, however, wants to avoid another setback as much as possible: Real Madrid's opponent Viktoria Pilsen is an opponent against whom no other gap should take place.

Mourinho waits Ronaldo motivated

Juventus coach Mbadimiliano Allegri returned to Ronaldo against United. After the superstar was blocked 3-0 against Young Boys Bern, nothing stands in the way of a return. When the Portuguese played a competitive match at Old Trafford in March 2013, he managed to qualify for the quarter-finals. At that time, José Mourinho was his coach at Madrid. Now, his compatriot stands alongside the opponent.

Ronaldo, who joined Manchester United at the age of 18, scored 118 goals for the Red Devils and won three Premier League matches and one UEFA Champions League match. Five years ago, he was encouraged to return. "It was amazing, I do not have words to say what it does, fans have made me shy," Ronaldo said of the match where Real lost 2-1. as a loser.

Mourinho, who has a relationship with his compatriot that is not always free of tension, is looking forward to a motivated Ronaldo. "I think he likes to come back in. Of course, he will try to do his job.He is one of the best players of all time, no one can say the opposite," said the coach. United, whose eleven (four points) threaten to fall back to third place behind Valencia in a defeat. The Spaniards (one point) play against Young Boys always flawless with Thorsten Schick.

Silent notes on Juventus

While Manchester threatens a tough trip to the knockout stages in the event of defeat, Juventus started with two wins as scheduled. Juventus, however, traveled with gentle discord on the island. Coach Allegri was unlikely to speak to the team after the 1-1 draw on the ninth day of Serie A against Genoa.

"With her head in Manchester," she said after Ronaldo's leadership, Allegri was criticized after the first point loss of the series champion this season. "It was a lesson for us, an awakening that gave nothing." In England, he expects a match between two teams "who both want to win," said Allegri.

The coach Lopetegui needs the victory with the Real

Real also wins against Viktoria Pilsen. Four defeats in the last five competitive games with a single goal scored: "The real is a ruin", headlined the Spanish sports newspaper "Marca" after the draw 1: 2 against Levante Saturday. Coach Julen Lopetegui is not counted five months after her engagement. The fact that the ex-boss of the Spanish team is still seated on the bench is due to the tight schedule and the lack of alternatives.

Lopetegui has to face several problems. On the one hand, after many World Cup missions, they are formally weak players such as Luka Modric and Raphael Varane and, on the other hand, not yet replaced Ronaldo this summer. The critics of the adepts are mainly directed against President Florentino Perez.

The players reinforced Lopetegui's back. "It's never good to change coaches." Julen has the support of the entire cabin, "said Captain Sergio Ramos. Three are mandatory against Pilsen, but Real are currently only in third place behind CSKA Moscow and AS Roma.

Bayern wants to convince in Athens

Bayern wants to convince after the end of his short negative streak with another win at AEK. "What's important is that you focus on the game in a targeted and motivated way, and that you do not think it would happen alone.The team knows that Niko Kovac also knows," said the president of the game. Board of Directors, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

The Bavarians have an exceptional record in the matches against the Greek clubs. In nine European Cup matches, there were seven wins and two draws. Alaba is part of the thigh problems during the victory against Wolfsburg (3: 1). Franck Ribéry is missing because of a vertebral blockage.

In the Bayern group, Ajax of Amsterdam could also take a step forward for the playoff round with Maximilian Wöber winning the home win over Benfica. Hoffenheim is already under pressure.
