Sheriff Tiraspol will be Real Madrid's 108th different opponent in the European Cup

The Champions League group stage matchday two is here and Real Madrid will play an unprecedented game in the top continental competition. Carlo Ancelotti's team will face a team from the Moldovan League for the first time: Sheriff Tiraspol. They will be the 108th different opponent our team has faced in the history of the European Cup.

It started in September 1955 with Swiss side Servette. Since then, some classics rivalries of European football have been played, like the 26 matches against Bayern Munich and the 21 against Juventus. These are the two teams we have played the most in this competition. German teams are the ones we've played the most, with ten different opponents from that country. The latest teams to join this list of opponents in the European Cup were Atalanta and Chelsea last season.
