It will be a much tougher game against Borussia Dortmund for Real Madrid

While it was all smiles for the men in white in the end, it doesn’t eclipse the problems that Madrid need to fix. And they need to do it fast as Dortmund are up next. The German side already laid down the marker in the group with a 6-0 demolition of Legia Warszawa.

Sporting CP lacked the quality to make their efforts count, but Dortmund do, and are a much bigger proposition than them. Repeating the mistakes they did today may hurt Los Blancos badly against the Yellow Brigade, as Thomas Tuchel’s side look ready for the challenge.
