Real Madrid have dominated the Champions League in recent years, winning three of the last four competitions, with their Spanish rivals Barcelona and Germany’s Bayern Munich the only other winners since Chelsea’s triumph. It is fair to say he will be itching for the opportunity to start off his season in the Champions league.

It was Ronaldo’s first competitive appearance for Madrid since the first leg of the Supercopa de Espana, with the 32-year-old to serve the final instalment of a five-match domestic ban against Real Sociedad on Sunday. We’re happy having him back and he looks strong.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, as Real Madrid defeated APOEL Nicosia 3-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Although it was a comfortable win for Real, some fans made a decision to target Wales worldwide Gareth Bale with whistles each time he touched the ball – an act, which disappointed Kroos.

This extends Marcelo’s incredibly long tenure with Real Madrid, which began during the 2006-07 campaign when he came over to the historic Spanish club from Fluminense. “I’m lucky to be here, they have helped me to achieve many of my dreams”.

They have so much talent and depth that it’s just unfair, especially when the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale remain healthy. “This is a distinct competition and to start playing again and scoring goals is very important for me”.

“You can see he’s not in his best moment, but he’s working hard for the team: shooting, fighting and that’s the Bale we need”, Casemiro said.

The Cypriot side are the lowest ranked team in Group H which also includes holders Real Madrid and German powerhouses Borussia Dortmund.
