LaLiga leaders Real Madrid are all set for matchday two in the UEFA Champions League as they host Club Brugge at Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, October 1, 2019. Los Blancos will be looking to get their first win in the Champions League this season as they were thrashed 3-0 by Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in their Group A opener. On the other hand, Club Brugge started their UEFA Champions League campaign with a goalless draw against Galatasaray. It would be a tough task for the Belgian side to get through the group stage as they are placed with PSG and Real Madrid.
