Real Madrid star Eder Militao will be gunning for Champions League glory on Saturday night when Los Blancos lock horns with Liverpool – and the defender will be cheered on by his stunning influencer girlfriend, Karoline Lima.

Militao and Lima – who has previously been linked to PSG star Neymar – went public with their relationship last year. The 26-year-old stunner, who is also Brazilian, is an influencer who has chalked up over two million followers on her Instagram account and is also a prominent figure on TikTok and YouTube.

Lima loves nothing more than sharing steamy snaps on her social media accounts, which are also full of sizzling selfies of the gorgeous blonde in a string of brightly coloured bikinis.

While Militao has thrived on the pitch for Real this season, the defender is also thriving away from the Bernabeu with Lima. The pair announced back in December that they are expecting their first child together in a heartwarming Instagram post complete with a couple of giant teddy bears.

In recent snaps on her social media, Lima has flaunted her growing baby bump as the pair continue to ramp up ahead of their daughter's arrival later this year.

Away from his thriving love life, Militao's performances on the pitch this season have made him a wanted man. Chelsea were linked with the defender earlier this year in the wake of his stunning breakout season at the Bernabeu. Militao has racked up 49 appearances for the Spanish giants this term; more than he managed in the previous two campaigns combined.

After striking up an impressive partnership with David Alaba at the heart of the Real defence, Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti is a big fan of the former Porto man – so much so that he allowed the defender to be his assistant for the day earlier this month.

Real head into Sunday's seismic European showdown with Liverpool as Spanish champions after sewing up the La Liga crown weeks ago. Ancelotti decided to rest the centre-half for the clash against Levante and was seen invited Militao to take up the seat next to him in the dugout.

Ancelotti's new No 2 was then handed a dossier of info and appeared to have the time of his life as he watched his pals romp to a 6-0 win at the Bernabeu with a smile on his face.

But he's likely to be in for a much harder night against Jurgen Klopp's tricky reds on Saturday evening as he bids to clinch a European crown.
