Match Preview
| Champions League (CL) holders Real Madrid host bottom-placed CSKA Moscow in their final Group G match having already secured their last-16 spot as group winners. The Russians must pick up at least a point and hope the outcome of Viktoria Plzeň’s clash with Roma goes their way if they are to qualify for the last-32 of the Europa League. |
| Madrid’s 2-0 win away at Roma saw them through to the knockout stages with a game to spare, and Santiago Solari’s men will now seek revenge for their 1-0 defeat to CSKA on matchday two. |
| ‘Los Blancos’ moved into fourth place in La Liga with a wholly unconvincing, lacklustre 1-0 win away to Huesca last Sunday, in which shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois put in a superb performance to prevent the hosts from pulling off a shock. Madrid have now extended their winning run to four games in all competitions. |
| CSKA’s last-16 hopes were ended by a 2-1 defeat to Plzeň, meaning they need to better the Czech team’s result in the final match to claim a Europa League spot. Viktor Goncharenko’s side travel to Madrid having closed the gap on Russian Premier League leaders Zenit St Petersburg to four points after beating Yenisey Krasnoyarsk 2-1. |
| Madrid are unbeaten in their last eight home meetings against Russian sides (W7, D1). |
| Players to watch: Gareth Bale broke his ten-game barren spell in the Spanish top flight with a nice first-time volley against Huesca. |
| Nikola Vlašić, who scored the winner in the reverse fixture, has been directly involved in four of CSKA’s five CL goals, and also netted at the weekend. |
| Stat attack: Madrid are on a mind-blowing 44-game scoring streak at home in the CL. |
| CSKA haven’t scored more than twice in any of their last 16 games. |
| Madrid have an exact 50-50 share of goals in the first and second half of their CL games this season. |
