Real Madrid and Benfica are set to locks horns in the first leg of the Champions League knockout phase playoffs on Tuesday night in what promises to be a dramatic affair.

The two clubs previously met in the league phase, where José Mourinho led his side to an unexpected 4–2 triumph that pushed Benfica through to the knockout phase playoffs. Waiting for them, though, are the 15-time European champions.

Los Blancos will want nothing more than to avenge their poor defeat this time around, especially given the increased stakes of the Champions League match. Even just a one-goal advantage heading into the second leg at the Bernabéu will infuse Real Madrid with confidence, but first, they will have to best their former boss.
