Winless Real Madrid enters Tuesday's Champions League home match against Inter Milan in desperate need of a victory.
Los Blancos has only earned one point in their matches against Shakhtar Donetsk and Borussia Monchengladbach to occupy last place in Group B. Another loss could threaten Madrid's chances of advancing and lead to its first group-stage elimination in three decades.
"It's a final and we are going to approach it like that," manager Zinedine Zidane said on Monday. "Three important points will be up for grabs and we are going to try to get them."
Inter, who sits in third after drawing its two games, is also seeking a win to stay in a position to advance.
