LIVE: Sporting vs Real Madrid

  • Zinedine Zidane makes just one change from the weekend's Madrid derby, and it's a big one as Sergio Ramos finally returns from injury at the expense of Nacho. Once again it's Cristiano Ronaldo who plays up top as the number nine, flanked by Gareth Bale and Lucas Vazquez.
  • Jorge Jesus makes three changes to the side which fell 1-0 in Dortmund on the last matchday. Bas Dost comes in to partner Bryan Ruiz in attack, replacing countryman Luc Castaignos. Also back into the side are left-back Joao Pereira and midfielder Adrien Silva, in place of Paulo Oliveira and Ezequiel Schelotto, as the hosts change from a 3-4-3 to a more standard 4-4-2.
