The Champions League resumes tonight with the second bunch of Day 1 group stage games being played across Europe.
Holders Real Madrid will begin their title defence against Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon, a game that will see Ballon d’Or contender Cristiano Ronaldo face his boyhood club at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Real triumphed on a post-match penalty shoot-out in last season’s final against city rivals Atletico Madrid, with Ronaldo scoring the last penalty to ensure his side won the coveted trophy for a record eleventh time.
Having just started his first game of the season in Real Madrid’s Liga 5-2 win over Osasuna, Ronaldo will be keen to kick-start his Champions League quest positively, hoping to make another final appearance in The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
Other games to be played tonight are;
Bayer Leverkusen vs CSKA Moscow
Tottenham Hotspur vs Monaco
Legia Warszawa vs Borussia Dortmund
Club Brugge vs Leicester City
FC Porto vs FC Koebenhavn
Juventus vs Sevilla
Lyon vs Dinamo Zagreb
Manchester City vs Borussia Moenchengladbach
