Real Madrid prepare for their second Uefa Champions League Group G game - this one against CSKA Moscow in the Russian capital on Tuesday night.

The reigning champions have struggled this season since Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Juventus in the summer transfer window, having lost to Sevilla in the Primera Liga before drawing their next Spanish top-flight game against city rivals Atletico.

The match against CSKA kicks off at 11pm, UAE time.
