Having lost in the Spanish La Liga over the weekend, Real Madrid cannot afford yet another negative result in Turkey. The team has struggled to convince especially in defense and has not kept a clean sheet in their past 3 matches.

In attack, EdenHazard is yet to come to life at the Santiago Bernabeu and looks overweight and a former shadow of the player that was lighting up the English Premier League with Chelsea last season.

Zidane is another who needs a performance even more than the players. He may have won the European Cup three times but most of his success then was attributed to having the best player in the World at the time, Cristiano Ronaldo.
