After reacquiring their sights on the top of the La Liga table, Real Madrid turn their focus back to their European exploits as Los Blancos travel east to meet AEK Athens in the Champions League on Wednesday.
After some early-season struggles, Jose Mourinho has found the secret sauce in the Spanish capital, engineering a famous El Clasico victory over league leaders Barcelona back in late October, winning 2-1 at the Camp Nou to return within three points of the top.
That came after a 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League put the Spanish giants fifth in the league phase table, with three wins from three games.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
