Real Madrid take on Ludogorets ahead of UEFA Champions League clash
Real Madrid trained on Tuesday ahead of
their UEFA Champions League clash with Ludogorets on Wednesday (1st
October).
Real Madrid travelled to Bulgaria looking to tighten their grip on Group B after thrashing Basel 5-1 in the opener.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti flew out with his squad including the forward firepower of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos.
"I believe that in this competition there are no weak teams but teams that fight to give their all. The first match between Ludogorets and Liverpool was a good one. We all know that it is very difficult at Liverpool stadium. For us there are no weak teams. We have to win this match as that is our objective to have a good position in the group the first two matches of the group are very important. The first was very good and for tomorrow we need the same. The head of the group with six points after these two matches is our primary objective."~ Carlo Ancelotti
Pepe is fit and included, but Sami Khedira and Fabio Coentrao are not,
although the club has not issued a statement detailing if the Portugal
defender is injured.
Madrid has good memories of Bulgaria, having come away with a 1-0 win against Levski Sofia in the 1980 European Cup.
The reigning champion's improving form has seen them rack up three consecutive La Liga wins after faltering with two defeats in early games.
