line-up.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 and Mesut Ozil have been in great form this season.

Though Jose Mourinho has given the Portuguese sensation, Ronaldo, only 5 European starts this season, the prolific attacker has set up 2 European goals while scoring 4 himself. Benzema, meanwhile, started all the group stage games.

“Real are the table toppers and they have high class players like Ronaldo, Benzema and Ozil but we are ready for the challenge. Everything depends on us and how we defend.” The former Spartak Nalchik player was quoted as saying.
The Russian outfit, on the other hand, is at the second spot and 5 points adrift of the top. Vasin reminded his teammates of the magnificent win against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and demanded a similar European performance.
“Analysts ruled us out against Inter Milan, but we let them down after winning against the Italian outfit. Furthermore, we are playing at home in more familiar weather conditions.” Vasin concluded.
