Having battled through the qualification stage, Kairat are playing in the league phase of European football's most prestigious tournament for the first time in its history. It wasn't quite the fairytale tournament debut for Rafael Urazbakhtin's men in Gameweek 1, with Kairat crashing to a 4-1 defeat away at Sporting Lisbon, and an even tougher challenge awaits today against the 15-time UCL winners.
Real got their European campaign off to a winning start with a 2-1 win at home to French side Marseille, but come into today's seemingly mismatched fixture looking to make amends after crashing to 5-2 derby defeat on Saturday against local rivals Atletico Madrid in La Liga.
Kairat takes on Real Madrid at the Almaty Ortalyk Stadion on Tuesday, Sept. 30. Kickoff is set for 9:45 p.m. UTC local time in Kazakhstan, making it a 6:45 p.m. CEST start in Europe, a 5:45 p.m. BST kickoff in the UK, a 12:45 p.m. ET or 9:45 a.m. PT start in the US, and a 2:45 a.m. AEST start in Australia on Wednesday.
