Real Madrid: Team News

Three days after the first leg with Bayern, Real Madrid travelled once again to the foreign ground where they were determined to obtain easy points against Sportig Gijon. However, Zinedine Zidan's men could have slipped losing all the points in that game, and only three returned goals had to be scored, being twice down one goal, to eventually win the whole set of points - late in 90's Isco unleashed the winner from outside of the box, which suggests Real club will be motivated to come into their home return leg against the German to continue the gained unbeaten run that has counted 11 games so far.
