Real Madrid host Sporting Lisbon in their Champions League opener, a tricky game which the reigning champions are expected to win nonetheless.
Cristiano and Co.’s impressive form at home should be enough to see off the Portuguese side. As a result, the Spanish giants may be focusing on their upcoming Liga game.

Why? Because Zinedina Zidane’s crew are closing in on a record held by Barcelona, which has stood for five seasons: most number of consecutive wins in La Liga.
The current record is 16 games, set by Guardiola’s Blaugrana boys back in 2010/11. Real Madrid are on 15 wins and victory on Sunday will take them level with the Catalan giants.
Les Merengues lock horns with Espanyol next, as they look to stretch a winning run that has lasted since the 1-0 defeat to Atletico back in late February.
