Team news: Missing stars for Zinedine Zidane
Real Madrid will be keen on clinching silverware in this 2016/17 curtain raiser. However, the 11-time Champions League winners won’t be helped by the fact that several key names will miss out on the trip to Norway.
As mentioned above, Cristiano Ronaldo will not feature due to an injury which he picked up in the Euro 2016 final. Furthermore, Les Merengues will also have to make do without Gareth Bale, who was handed an extended holiday due to his European Championship campaign.
Toni Kroos and Pepe are the two other key figures set to miss the fixture. Nonetheless, Zidane will still have the likes of James Rodriguez, Karim Benzema, and Sergio Ramos at his disposal.
Having made his return to the Bernabeu, Alvaro Morata has been named in the 20-man squad and could slot right into the starting eleven.
How will Sevilla’s new coach and lineup fare?
Jorge Sampaoli has some big shoes to fill, especially given the fact that the previous manager won three consecutive Europa League titles.
Furthermore, Unai Emery’s departure for PSG saw several big names leave the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium such as Kevin Gameiro, Ever Banega and Grzegorz Krychowiak.
Sampaoli knows playing Real Madrid won't be a walk in the park
Sampaoli [Sevilla coach]: "Real Madrid are champions of the most important competition. I've seen them do well in friendlies."

Eight new players have been recruited, with Luciano Vietto, Paulo Henrique Ganso, Matias Kranevitter, Joaquin Correa, and Wissam Ben Yedder arriving at Sevilla – via loans and permanent transfers.
The newcomers will be keen on earning their spot in the starting eleven ahead of the new season, whilst Sampaoli will look to prove his credentials as a world-class manager.
