Real Madrid will be looking to make the perfect start to their 2023-24 Champions League group-stage campaign when they host Union Berlin on Wednesday night.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have put five straight wins on the board in La Liga at the beginning of the new season, which has left them top of the table on 15 points.

Los Blancos will enter this contest off the back of a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad, with Federico Valverde and Joselu on the scoresheet for the hosts at Bernabeu.
