Today is going to be a big day for football fans all over the world. The European royalty Real Madrid will be facing SL Benfica in the second round of the UCL play-offs. After losing in the group stage, the men in white fought hard in the play-offs and secured a 1-0 win in Lisbon. However, the goal of Vini Jr got overshadowed by the alleged act of racism inflicted upon him by Argentinian Gianluca Prestianni. Moreover, manager Jose Mourinho's comment also didn't go well with the footballing fraternity, so there will be tensions all around when the second leg is played in Madrid.
Even though both Mourinho and Prestianni will not be there in the second leg, that won't lessen the anger of the Madrid fans. The crowd in the Bernabéu will surely make the 90 minutes hell for the visitors. Let's see whether SL Benfica does what Ajax did a few years ago or it will be another shining chapter in the history of Real Madrid.
To be honest, whatever might be the result of the leg, one thing is for certain: that the match will be remembered for ages. A Blockbuster awaits at the Bernabeu.
