Real Madrid vs Marseille Preview: Start Time, Team News, How To Watch, Live Stream & Odds

Real Madrid will host Olympique de Marseille at the Santiago Bernabéu to open their Champions League campaign on September 16.

Xabi Alonso and his team won all four games to start the season, as they managed a 2-1 away victory against Real Sociedad. This was despite being down to 10 men, following Dean Huijsen's controversial first red card. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappé continued his goalscoring streak as he scored his fourth league goal of the season.

Despite a rocky start, Les Phocéens secured two victories in their first four league games, with a dominant 4-0 home victory against Lorient in their latest outing. Roberto De Zerbi's team has registered the arrival of several high-profile players, including 2018 World Cup winner Benjamin Pavard, as they make their return to the competition since 2022.

The two teams faced off only four times in the competition, with Real Madrid winning all of their games against Marseille. In their last clash in 2009, Los Blancos took down Marseille 3-1 at the Velodrome thanks to Raul Albiol and Cristiano Ronaldo's brace.

Here are the last four Champions League meetings between the two sides:

Date	Result
December 8, 2009	Olympique de Marseille 1-3 Real Madrid
September 30, 2009	Real Madrid 3-0 Olympique de Marseille
November 26, 2003	Olympique de Marseille 1-2 Real Madrid
September 16, 2003	Real Madrid 4-2 Olympique de Marseille

Antonio Rudiger suffered an injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his left leg in training and is expected to miss the next three months of competition. Additionally, Xabi Alonso and his team received a massive injury boost as Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga made their return to the squad as they return from injury. It will be unlikely that they play any part of the game.
