Primera División

  • Sporting look as though they are going to go with a five man defence, with Jean-Sylvain Babin slotting in alongside Jorge Mere and Fernando Amorebieta at the back and Duje Cop leading the line as the lone striker.
  • Ronaldo also scored twice when Madrid faced Sporting at the Santiago Bernabeu earlier in the season, with Carlos Carmona’s goal proving to be a mere consolation as Zinedine Zidane’s side ran out 2-1 winners.
  • They come into the game full of confidence too having come from behind to beat Bayern Munich in their Champions League quarter-final first leg tie in midweek, with a brace of goals from Cristiano Ronaldo securing a 2-1 win.
