Madrid won their last match at home in this competition which was against Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk on November 3 and the victory ended their two-match winless run as the hosts. 
 
“We continue along the right path. I like the way we are playing,” Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said following their win over Sheriff.
