Union Berlin starts the Champions League adventure at Real Madrid. The Iron Men go into the game at the Bernabéu as blatant outsiders. In addition to the sporting differences, there are worlds apart between the two clubs, especially on the pitch. Real Madrid is the richest club in the world behind Manchester City. For the 2021/22 season, the Royals achieved sales of 714 million euros. Union Berlin recorded record revenues of almost 122 million euros for this period. There is also a difference of around 800 million euros in the squad value of the two clubs.
