How's the form?

Real Madrid have swept all before them so far in this competition, apart from PSG. They were 2-0 winners at Malmo and secured a comfortable 4-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk. They ran out 3-1 winners over the mightly Las Palmas in La Liga at the weekend.

SHOWDOWN ALERT, because PSG are exactly one goal worse off than Real in Group A, they beat Shakhtar away 3-0 and matched Real's 2-0 win over Malmo. They saw off Rennes 1-0 on Friday night in Ligue 1.

What was the result last time?

Disappointingly, it was 0-0, and quite a tiresome game.

What are they saying?

Real Madrid may top La Liga and their Champions League group but coach Rafael Benitez believes there is room for improvement.

"The team are doing well but I am convinced that they will improve. I want to see the best team when we are competing for titles," the Spaniard told a news conference on Monday.

"We've got a great margin of improvement. I hope the best is yet to come."

Under Benitez, Real have turned into a more compact side, playing tight at the back and looking to bring the ball forward as fast possible, giving the impression they are a defensive team, which the former Liverpool manager has been denying.

He has not been able to reunite his attacking trio of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale since the Welshman limped off against Shakhtar Donetsk on Sept. 15.

Karim Benzema is out injured

On Tuesday he will again have to make do without Benzema and Bale but James Rodriguez is back in the squad after injury.

"He's on the list, he's better. That does not mean he starts. He lacks match fitness," said Benitez.

Sergio Ramos also returns to the squad but Raphael Varane and Pepe are expected to start in central defence.

Real are level on seven points from three games with PSG in Group A after a goalless at the Parc des Princes last week.
