Real Madrid are looking to make up for a disappointing start in the UEFA Champions League when they host Ukraine's Dynamo Kiev in Group E action on Tuesday. The Spanish giants were handed a 2-0 away defeat to French champions Lyon in their UCL opener. Real coach Fabio Capello insisted his side have no choice but to win in order to boost the team's confidence and chances. "It is a very important game. It is fundamental for us. Victories bring confidence and this is vital," Capello was quoted as saying by Sky Sports Network. "Dynamo are a dangerous side away from home. They are good on the counter with some very quick players, and effective in the air from corners." But Real will have to find a player who is capable of filling the right-back role after the injuries of duo Michael Salgado and Brazilian Cicinho. Raul Bravo is the likely replacement as he occupied the position in Los Meringues' 1-0 win over Real Betis in Spanish La Liga on Saturday. On the other hand, Dynamo have also some worries ahead of the tie as Sergei Rebrov and Ruslan Rotan will not play due to injuries. The Ukrainian League runners-up suffered a 4-1 home defeat to Romania's Steaua Bucharest in the UCL opener. Lyon will be aiming to grab their second successive win when they take on Steaua in the other group game.

"We have the ability, there is no question about that. And I believe we have a good squad which is much stronger in terms of being able to handle injuries." United will be missing trio Ryan Giggs, Park Ji-Sung and Mikael Silvestre through injury.
