Group G
The holders squeezed past Viktoria Plzen 2-1 with goals from Benzema and Marcelo as they sit joint top on six points with Roma in their group but there is very little to suggest that they are in it to win it. Goalscoring, for so long their strength, has become a problem and confidence has been affected immensely.

Julen Lopetegui appeared to be a dead man walking but the final nail in the coffin came when Barcelona humbled them in the El Clasico with a tantalizing 5-1 scoreline. Lopetegui was sacked the next day and Santiago Solari was brought in as interim manager. Madrid look out of their depth this term but they would comfortably qualify for the knockout stages at least.
Roma would be looking to grab the top spot when they play Madrid next and would do well to find themselves there.
