Champions League 2016: Live Stream, TV Info, Predictions for Tuesday Group Games
- Updated: September 27, 2016
Week 2 of the 2016-17 UEFA Champions League kicks off on Tuesday, with Borussia Dortmund’s showdown against holders Real Madrid serving as the marquee tussle of the round.
The German side got their European campaign underway with a 6-0 win over Legia Warsaw, while Real left it late to beat Sporting CP, scoring twice after the 89th minute to win 2-1. These sides are two of the most prolific goalscoring outfits in the game, meaning the Westfalenstadion should be entertained by a feast of fantastic attacking football.
Elsewhere, Leicester City host Porto, while Tottenham Hotspur make the long trip to CSKA Moscow. Monaco will welcome Bayer Leverkusen in another eye-catching tie.
Here’s the fixture list in full for Tuesday, how to catch the action and a closer look at two of the standout matches.

Borussia Dortmund vs. Real Madrid
The Dortmund supporters will provide an intense atmosphere for what’s set to be one of the matches of the competition, as they welcome Real to the Westfalenstadion.
It’s a Madrid side that have seen their momentum sapped lately. While they salvaged a stunning three points against Sporting, there were long spells in the game when Los Blancos were outplayed. In their last two La Liga games, Madrid have notched back-to-back draws.
ESPN FC’s Dermot Corrigan noted a potentially encouraging trend for the Bundesliga side ahead of this one:
Madrid issues playing yellow shirted rivals… draw at home to Villarreal on Wed, draw at Las Palmas on Sat, going to Dortmund next Tues…
