The exception was a 1-0 loss at CSKA in the second round of matches, Nikola Vlašić scoring the only goal in the second minute. • CSKA have managed only one point from their other four matches, losing the last three, and are level with Viktoria Plzeň on four points – but behind the Czech champions on head-to-head record. CSKA must therefore pick up more points than Plzeň to finish third. Previous meetings • Before their matchday two meeting in Russia, the sides had crossed paths just twice, in the 2011/12 round of 16, when they drew 1-1 in Moscow before Madrid eased to a 4-1 win in Spain, Karim Benzema among the scorers. • Madrid went on to the semi-finals, where they lost on penalties to Bayern München. Form guide Real Madrid • The 1-0 loss at CSKA is Madrid's only blemish to date in this season's competition, with two wins apiece against Roma (3-0 home, 2-0 away) and Plzeň (2-1 home, 5-0 away). The victory in the Czech Republic marked Solari's first match in charge following the departure of Julen Lopetegui on 29 October. • Madrid have lost only five of their last 38 European matches, home and away. • Madrid are holders and 13-time champions. Semi-finalists or better in each of the last eight seasons, this is Real Madrid's 49th European Cup campaign – more than any other side. • Third in last season's Liga, the Spanish giants are in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the 23rd time – a competition high they share with Barcelona and Porto. They have also now qualified for the knockout phase for a record 23rd time – twice more than Barcelona. • In 2017/18, Madrid picked up seven points at home but finished second in their group – the second year running they had been runners-up in their section – before going on to beat Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Bayern München in the knockout rounds. Gareth Bale (2) and Karim Benzema scored in the 3-1 final victory against Liverpool in Kyiv. • The Merengues have won 36 of their last 44 UEFA Champions League home matches, losing just two – 4-3 to Schalke in their 2014/15 round of 16 second leg and against Juventus last season. They still won both ties on aggregate. • The defeat at CSKA ended Madrid's six-match unbeaten run against Russian clubs, home and away (W4 D2). • Madrid have not lost at home to Russian visitors since a 3-1 European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-final reverse to Spartak Moskva in March 1991, also the aggregate score, in the second such fixture. Their record since is W7 D1. • Under Lopetegui, the Merengues lost 4-2 to Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup in Tallinn in August, denying them a third straight triumph in the competition. The defeat in Moscow meant Madrid lost two European fixtures out of four under Lopetegui before his departure. CSKA Moskva • CSKA picked up four points from their first two Group G games, coming from two down to salvage a point at Plzeň on matchday one before beating Madrid in Moscow. They have lost all three games since, though, two to Roma (0-3 away, 1-2 home) and a 2-1 reverse at home to Plzeň last time out. • This is CSKA's 12th UEFA Champions League campaign, equalling the Russian record previously held alone by Spartak Moskva.
