Cristiano Ronaldo
Real will be looking to the Champions League’s all-time leading goalscorer, Cristiano Ronaldo to aid their quest for a third successive triumph in that particular competition, with a heavyweight last-16 encounter with Paris Saint-Germain next on the agenda.
The Portuguese star has contributed nine goals in six Champions League outings.
Defending that trophy is one of many targets for Ronaldo in 2018, with Real preparing to enter a crucial period of the current campaign.
Madrid host PSG in the first leg on Wednesday and Ronaldo said: “We are going to play against a great team with excellent players, which we respect very much.
“But we have already shown that Real Madrid have a very strong and united group, with a lot of experience in this competition.
“We know we have to be much focused and play two very good games to move forward in the Champions League.”
Once domestic and continental endeavours come to a close in 2017-18, attention for Ronaldo and Co will shift to the pursuit of global glory at this summer’s World Cup.
