Will Vinicius Jr play tonight for Real Madrid vs AEK Athens in Champions League 2026-27 clash?

This will be the fifth-ever meeting between the two clubs! For their fourth league phase fixture of the UEFA Champions League 2026-27 campaign, AEK Athens will go head-to-head against Vinicius Jr's Real Madrid in an exciting contest.

OPAP Arena in Athens, Greece, is all set to host this clash. The Yellow-Blacks have been quite inconsistent with their recent performances.

This is going to keep them under pressure for their upcoming UCL outing. They are up against the record winners of the competition, Real Madrid.

The Marko Nikolić-led side will be looking to establish early control of the game. Being at home is surely going to play an important role for them.

Real Madrid have been performing well and will be keen to extend their positive run of form. They have secured wins in all of their first three UEFA Champions League games this season.

Under Jose Mourinho, the Spanish giants are finally looking to find the balance they were missing out on for quite a while now. Los Merengues have been doing really well in the final third.

But will they be able to keep it running with the presence of Vinicius Jr?
