Match background

For the second season in a row, the UEFA Champions League group stage brings together Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid CF – and precedent suggests the holders could be in for a tough evening in Germany. • Madrid have never won in Dortmund – and despite recent successes, have historically struggled in away games against sides – although Zinédine Zidane's side are already on the board in Group H having beaten APOEL FC 3-0 on matchday one.
