Real Madrid travel to the Stadion Maksimir to take on Dinamo Zagreb with Jose Mourinho's side looking to get their Champions League Group D campaign off to a winning start.

Kovacic launches the free kick into the Real box, but Carvalho deals with the high ball superbly and even brings it out of defence.

Di Maria is now warned for a foul on Ibanez, and this is getting rather scrappy in the first half.

Pepe is penalised for a late trip on Kovacic, and now Dinamo can enjoy some possession in their own half.

Di Maria is ruled offside as the Dinamo defence step up swiftly and leave him on his own to accept Pepe's through ball.

Coentrao is tripped by Vida as he skips down the flank once more, and Real can again build from deep.

Ronaldo lays the ball off to Benzema, who lashes a wild effort over the crossbar from the edge of the box!

The visitors stroke the ball around patiently in their own half with Zagreb sitting very deep and soaking up the pressure.

Ronaldo buys a free kick with an exaggerated fall to the ground after slight contact from Leko, and Real can bide their time now...

BENZEMA HITS THE BAR! Again, Coentrao makes good ground down the right at pace, before Benzema takes two quick touches and crashes a fierce strike against the crossbar!

Coentrao whips a brilliant effort agonisingly close of the far post after cutting in from the right, and that's a fine attempt!

Ozil blasts a dismal effort high and wide as the ball drops to him, and the German is very angry with himself there!

Ronaldo continues to sit out on the left wing with Di Maria ahead of him, but the Portugese storms past his team-mate in attack.

Ronaldo plays in Di Maria with an exquisite backheel into the winger's path, but the move breaks down on this occasion.

Zagreb win a corner following fine work down the left from Leko and Calello, but Real clear the danger through Pepe.

Benzema is ruled narrowly offside as Ozil slips him in with a precise pass, and the Frenchman is very disappointed.

Tomecak has a crack at the other end as he is afforded space beyond the Real midfield, but he drives his shot wide!

Ronaldo should score! The Portugese forces his way beyond the Dinamo back four, but he scuffs a very tame shot well wide of the far post from Di Maria's through ball, and he is disgusted with himself!

Di Maria skips breezily down the left at pace, but his ball inside to Ronaldo does not find its target.

The first half is underway at the Maksimir Stadion, and Zagreb immediately enjoy a good period of early possession.

We're just five minutes from kick off now as Real Madrid are set to emerge in their all-red change strip!
