Team News

Real Madrid
CSKA Moscow
  • Nacho is ruled out for Real Madrid, while Casemiro is a doubt for Los Blancos.
  • With top spot already wrapped up, Santiago Solari could ring the changes here.
  • Federico Valverde, Lucas Vazquez and Mariano may feature in attack, while Keylor Navas is likely to start between the sticks.
  • Viktor Vasin is sidelined for CSKA Moscow.
  • Ilzat Akhmetov, Mario Fernandes, Alan Dzagoev and Abel Hernandez will all be assessed.
  • Despite being a fitness concern, Mario should start on the right, while Ilzat Akhmetov could feature in midfield.

Prediction

  • With top spot sewn up in group G, Real Madrid can take things easy in the welcome of CSKA Moscow, and instead focus on the weekend's welcome of Rayo Vallecano. The European champions lost the reverse fixture, so will be keen to exact some measure of revenge.
  • In CSKA's final game of 2018, they'll be looking to see out the year on a high. Their away form of late, though, has been iffy having won just one of their last four on the road, and they need to better Viktoria Plzen's result if they are to secure a Europa League place.
  • Real Madrid have won their last four competitive matches and with a weakened XI set to be named, the home side should manage to eke out a win regardless.

  • CSKA is just above the whole CL, they beat the winner of the last 3 yrs, 2 times. That competition doesn`t deserve such team in 1/8 for sure.

  • So Navas don't play in La Liga nor in UCL. We can see how well this choice is going.

  • @MrNemobody Top of the group in CL. only 5 points from the top in the league. Not bad generally considering Courtois' great performances so far.

  • Courtois has as many 'hat-tricks' this season as Messi + Suarez combined.

  • Lots of Laughs

  • I don't feel sorry even a little bit as seeing the biggest team in the world trashed at home. Players should be ashamed, there is no excuse for that. But felt really sad for CSKA, such a dream scenario to win against RM both at home and away, still finished bottom of the table.

  • @Byakuya You're right but the CSKA-fans will be proud af their team regardlessly. And the fans, who witnessed the games, will tell the tale to their children and grandchildren - like "I was there when we trashed Real Madrid, you want to hear?", and the eyes of the children will glow in the light of the candles while they're listening. And they will remember the story and tell it to their children, and they will all hope to experience some magic games simular to these. Because this is what all clubs are made of no matter if they have all the money in the world and can buy any player they want of if they have no money at all and never won a title. It's the legendary tales that makes them grand to their fans, and noone can take that away

  • @jesper You better be a poet rather than posting in this site

  • @Byakuya cska-viktoria plzen 1:2

  • @Byakuya Doesn't matter if you win two games even against Real Madrid if you don't show up in the rest of the group stage.

  • @Byakuya This season we saw that, RM isn't the best team , just they had the best player CR7.

  • @Nd1042 The best player played full 90, lost to freakin Young boyz tonight. Oh and he watched his teammate score a screamer too.

  • @Sinaj hahaahhaah excatly!!

  • I see some fans here saying Ronaldo is not enough good,i think real is not good enough for him,poor man,if he played for example,atletico in this years,he'll have better play.Who needs Ronaldo,you say,who needs Ronaldo,when Perez plays better.

  • Biggest home defeat in Europe for Real Madrid..first loss at home in ucl group stages since 2009..Real Madrid breaking records left right and centre..absolutely pathetic.

  • just can't believe CSKA-2 home win had 97 odds

  • @bryayz I wonder if anyone bet on it

  • Real Madrid is dead club definetly. They cant score 1 goal at their own stadium against half amateur side of CSKA Moscow. Under era of Carlo Ancelotti they use to score 4-5 goals to every team on Bernabeu.. Hard times for Madridistas..

  • @stefanm Maybe Real lost, because just like you thought that CSKA are amateur and you can beat them on one leg? Today, Marca did not even know at what positions the players of CSKA play and put a non-existent player in the reserve. If Real is also unprofessional preparing for the match, then 0-3 is the most honest thing that could be today.

  • @Kralin Even Viktoria Plzen won in Moscow 1-2 against CSKA.... today Cska was just lucky and Real was having a bad day... Im happy Viktoria is going to Europa League and not bunker defensive team like Cska

  • when you lose a game with 0-3 but your average mark is 6.56, how?

  • @EmileDM Whoscored places an insane value of importance to successful dribbles, which is why Vinicius, Isco and Asensio have such high ratings despite doing nothing in the game.

  • @EmileDM You don't have to ask - you've just seen it

  • I'm surprised that I haven't still seen the white flags or napkins or whatever it is in the stadium.

  • Embarrassing! Solari is no solution

  • Congrat to all UEFAdrid fans :D

  • @Cannavaro69 Young Bois 2-1 Juventus the eternal flop

  • @Cannavaro69 bravo be happy but madridistas are the only club that won UCL 3 times in a row ;) and they have most UCl titles in world. so they can let themselves to pause 1-2 years in UCL :)

  • @stefanm First 5 CLtrophies Real won dont count , they played against one team only , do you think its fair enough ??!!

  • @Cannavaro69 Hopefully the first of many such glorious nights..

  • Do a double over Madrid and not even make it to Europa league? Is this gonna seriously happen?

  • Courtois doesn't concede often but when he does, he makes sure it's at least three.

  • @GioMonaldo You can't blame Courtois for this ...

  • @GioMonaldo i think Navas just gave u the thumbs up

  • Is Bale on the pitch? I don't see him ... Isco seems like he went to the disco to celebrate in advance ... What is happening to Real Madrid? Don't tell me they depended on one player only - something is rotten in Madrid

  • Lopetegui out! ...oh wait :'D

  • HALA MADRID

  • @porzingis lol

  • Great Game I hope for 2-3 more goals for CSKA

  • @benger_alert they are typical bunker team defending with 10 players , small team typical characteristics for small team. hopefully they dont win here and they DONT win russian league.

  • @stefanm no hope for you :'D

  • I cant believe this is happening. I remember from times before, teams used to be so scared to play at Bernabeu because they always received 5 or 6 goals per match.. and now in middle of Madrid poor awful team by CSKA is destroing us

  • @stefanm except barcelona but i agree

  • @BarcaPlsLetMeDown bro, that's unfair bc Bernabeu is Barca's training ground.

  • @GioMonaldo Barca'sbiggest proud: winning Real Madrid Madrid's proud: Champions League TREBLE

  • I go away for 5 minutes to jerk off and wtf happens?!

  • @GioMonaldo LOL

  • @GioMonaldo Yoy have to learn how to jerk off a lot faster 'cause footballgames can turn upside-down in the glimpse of of an eye ;-)

  • @GioMonaldo this is drunken kung fu, Madrid style, mark my words we r going to the finals

  • @GioMonaldo u come back n think ur dreaming 0:2 in barnabue

  • Wow lmao

  • REAL MADRID Courtois , Vallejo , Benzema , Marcelo , Valverde , Llorente , Odriozola , Asensio , Isco , Vinicius , Sanchez SUBS Navas , Carvaval , Varane , Kroos , Modric , Bale , Lucas

  • I'm not very familiar with CSKA Moscow but based on previous match squads it would surprise me if we'll see: GK:Akinfeev, CB:Nababkin, CB:Magnusson, CB:Becao, LM:Schennikov, CM:Bistrovic, CM:Oblyakov, RM:Fernandes, AM:Vlasic, AM:Sigrudsson, CF:Chalov. Of course they might change formation since they play a very strong opponent.

  • Based on Real Madrid's squad I'm guessing a 4-3-3 with: GK:Navas, LB:Carvajal, CB:Vallejo, CB:Varane, RB:Odriozola, CM:Valverde, CM:Llorente, CM:Isco, LW:Asensio, CF: Benzema, RW:Lucas. Possibly Marcello and Kroos as substitutes since they both recover from injuries. Vinicius Jr might get some game time as substitute as well. Ramos, Nacho, Reguilon, Casemiro, Ceballos, Mariano are not in the match squad.

  • expert tips;juve-1 away win,Roma x2,man utd x2,man city 02.5,Lyon btts yes.go have fun n make cash in the process

  • This will be similiar to the Barcelona game last night.Real Madrid will rest lots of players.CSKA will be hoping to get a good result to qualify for the Europa league.

  • No VAR = easy win for Real.

  • @GioMonaldo Being a dumb Cule i totally expect you to be talking about the ref Go fcuk yourself

  • @GioMonaldo and so begins a new move towards 4Decima, HALA MADRID, with VAR this year the cup has REAL written all over it,,, HALA HALA HALA.

  • @GioMonaldo penaldo fan go and shave your legs like him and stay quiet about football cuz u know nothin about it

  • @stefanm Sir, please, I'm not a PN7 fan, I'm a Barca fan since 2006 and will be for the rest of my life.

  • @stefanm Ur stupid GOAT keeps dominating the same Catalunya parking lot and u worship him like all days are sunday, get over it, CR7 keeps walking the talk while shorty is too afraid to go try himslef with a team not built around him... Honestly what more do yall want from CR7...

  • @stefanm what more do u want from Penaldo, He dominated portugal, england, Spain, Now Italy what more do u honestly want from the Phenomenon, CR7 for life... It aint his fault that he's tall enuf to ride all the rides at disneyworld.

  • @offside How did Penaldo dominate Portugal? LOL pls tell me more cool stories.

  • @stefanm EEeh,you miss him too?It is not easy to see real without Cristiano Ronlado,and more hard for real,before he go,all know their work,bale-Gareth Bale,Cristiano Ronaldo-Cristiano Ronaldo,Benzema-Benzema,and now-Bale-Cristiano Ronaldo,Benzema-Gareth Bale,and no one mathces Benzema.hard,in one word.very hard,for real.

  • @Whou - In English?

  • @GioMonaldo lol

  • CSKA will fight for a place to Europa Legue , it will be tough for UEFAdrid , i think BTTS is the best option here

  • @Cannavaro69 A couple gifts to Big Benz from Real's 12th player and they should win comfortably. Maybe Papa ordered the penalty+offside goal package for his favorite player :D

  • @GioMonaldo lol

  • the amount of salt... :D
