The last time we played Madrid was in Melbourne 2015, Madrid picked a strong team, we treated it as a friendly and got thumped 4-1 in front of 99,382 fans. This time it will be different and we have a good chance to cause an upset provided our defence does well and has some luck. Can't wait, bring it on.

Looking at the stats, maybe the red cards may work in our favour?
