Our Prediction
"Creamies" are not having the most successful season, so it is not surprising that the media have already started talking about the possible resignation of Zinedine Zidane.
However, Champions League remains the Frenchman's signature tournament, so it is difficult for us to bet against the hosts, who will probably play in a controlled and strict manner and, most likely, will win again.
We offer to bet on the victory of "Real Madrid" for 2.15 odds on 1xbet.
