UCL 20/21 Predictions: Shakhtar Donetsk 1 – 2 Against Real Madrid
The pressure will certainly be on Zinedine Zidane in the UCL matchday 5 as Real Madrid continue to stumble throughout the 2020/21 campaign in all football competitions as they continue to produce poor performances that provide poor results.

Of course, Atlético Madrid has everything to play for in this UCL game as their qualification hopes still remain in the balance, however, Bayern should still overpower them – not to the same extent as their 4-0 win in the first contest – with a 2-1 victory.
UCL 20/21 Predictions: Manchester United vs Paris Saint-Germain
