Madrid won their last match at home in this competition which was against Italy's Inter Milan and the victory ended their three-match winless run as the hosts.
Zinedine Zidane, the Madrid manager, says his charges need to keep their heads up following successive defeats to Deportivo Alaves and Donetsk.
"I don’t think we deserved to win in LaLiga the other day because it was a poor performance but we deserved it tonight," Zidane said.
"We have to keep our heads up and turn our attentions to the next game. When you’re on a bad run there’s nothing else for it.
"But to help each other out and look ahead to the next match, which is important for us as well."
