"Both sides' lineups basically continued the main framework of last season, with Real Madrid's starting eleven only including Heinze, who transferred from Manchester United. The two expensive new signings, Robben and Sneijder, both sat on the bench. They had just reported to Real Madrid not long ago and should still be in the integration period,"
