Real Madrid will want to make it four wins in a row in the Champions League group stage this season when they host Sporting Braga at Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.
The Spanish side is atop Group C, above Napoli, Braga and Union Berlin. Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham scored the goals as Madrid beat Braga in their previous Champions League outing.
It will be a monumental challenge for Braga to take on Real Madrid who are unbeaten in their last eight matches. They will be hoping to take some confidence from their most recent league outing, a 6-1 hammering of Portimonense with Simon Banza scoring a hat-trick.
