Real Madrid will be looking to continue from where they left off in Champions League Group D. Los Blancos defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 away in Kyiv last time out, and now host the Ukrainian giants at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday as they look to take a big step towards qualification to the knockout rounds.

The thrashing of Shakhtar last time out was the perfect response to the shock home defeat to Sheriff Tiraspol on Matchday 2, and Real Madrid will be aiming to pick up their points at the Bernabeu this Champions League campaign.

Real Madrid go into the game on the back of a hard fought 2-1 win away at Elche in LaLiga Santander, while Shakhtar cruised to a 4-1 home victory over Desna in the Ukrainian Premier League.
