Zinedine Zidane has seen an upturn in form since the last European outing against PSG - that Parisien debacle - and will expect all three points in their first home game of the competition's group stage. The 33-year old has been put in charge of the tie, which will be his first in the Champions League since Valencia's 2-1 win over Man Utd last December.
Across in Moscow, Atlético Madrid will face Lokomotiv under the stewardship of Israelí referee Oren Grinfeld. The 38-year old was also in the middle for Basaksehir vs Olympiacos in the third round of qualifying games and had two appearances in last season's group games, including Real Madrid's home win over Viktoria Plzen.
