Real Madrid (ESP) v Sporting Lisbon (POR)
Real begin to bid their way to becoming the first club to
retain the trophy in the Champions League
with a home game against Cristiano
Ronaldo’s first club. Ronaldo last season was phenomenon as he clinched thr winning penalty in
the final penalty shoot-out against Atletico Madrid
which gave Real a record 11th title last season.
The Portuguese star had an injury scare in Euro
2016 final 1-0 win over france but was back in top notch condution in Saturday’s 5-2
defeat of Osasuna. Ronaldo’s boyhood club will grace the Santiago Bernabeu in confidence, both physically and mentally after
a 3-0 win over Moreirense at the weekend which maintained their perfect start to the Portuguese
season. Under Jorge Jesus they are back in the tie stronger even though they lost to CSKA Moscow in the
play-offs last season.
Group G
At Bruges, Belgium
Club Brugge (BEL) v Leicester City (ENG)
After their fairytale Premier League title win, Leicester begin their first
Champions League experience with the short trip to
Belgium to face Club Brugge at the Jan
Breydelstadion. This will be the Foxes’ first
European game since a 3-1 defeat to Red Star
Belgrade condemned them to a first-round exit in
the UEFA Cup in September 2000. However, for
their manager Claudio Ranieri this is the start of
a sixth Champions League campaign with a sixth
different club. Leicester come into the game on
the back of a 4-1 defeat at Liverpool, but Michel
Preud’homme’s side also lost at the weekend,
going down 1-0 at Waasland-Beveren on Friday.
Club Brugge are the only Belgian club ever to
have reached the European Cup final, losing 1-0
to Liverpool at Wembley in 1978.
