Real Madrid got their Champions League campaign back on track on matchday three, with a stunning success at home against Borussia Dortmund.
However, Los Blancos will still have questions to answer when AC Milan visit the Spanish capital after losing their unbeaten domestic record against Barcelona.
It is also worth noting that Real have already suffered defeat in the Champions League this season after losing on the road in France against Lille.
AC Milan will see this clash as a huge opportunity to show that they are still in contention to reach the next round.
The Italian giants landed a 3-1 win over Club Brugge on matchday three to move up to 25th in the overall standings. But, they have already lost twice in the competition this season.
