Since competing in the re-formatted Champions League for the first time in 1995, Real Madrid have enjoyed an unrivalled level of success in the world’s greatest club competition.
Not only have Los Blancos lifted the trophy seven times, including a run of four in the space of five seasons from 2013/14 to 2017/18, they have never yet failed to reach the knockout stages.
But this season has got off to a disastrous start. Real could be looking at early elimination if things don’t improve and qualification hinges on a double fixture against Galatasaray.
The two results so far in 2019/20 are among the most embarrassing Real have experienced in the Champions League era.
