Real Madrid will be hoping to get off to a flying start as they look to build on the momentum acquired through two double triumphs in the Spanish League when they take on Hamburg in the opening encounter of the Emirates Cup 2008, our coverage starting from 14:00 GMT, 2^nd August 2008.

Real Madrid have had a relatively quiet summer despite all the noise and hype surrounding the transfer of double winning Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo. Real have been caught in the traps against Manchester United and they will hope that all the distraction of Ronaldo joining the Bernabau elite does not affect the players when they step out onto the Emirates for their first real test of the summer. Real Madrid will be encouraged with the performance of their players in the recently concluded Euro 2008 championships where the likes of Sniejder, Pepe, Ramos and Casillas all shone for their respective countries. However, Pepe would be sitting out of this clash and Real will be hoping to get through this hurdle without any more injuries and hassles.

Hamburg on the other hand, have a major problem in the rather fickle outlook of their star Dutch midfielder Rafael Van Der Vaart. The former Ajax midfielder is said to be on his way to Real and the German outfit will be hoping that he can atleast provide another season of magic before making a switch. Hamburg did well to finish third in the Bundesliga last time around and although they are rank outsiders for this tournament, a surprise victory against unprepared Real Madrid might just be on the cards.
