On September 28, coach Xabi Alonso and his team flew nearly 7,000 km to reach Central Asia. Spanish media reported that Real Madrid's stars looked tired after the long flight.

Coach Alonso and his staff are trying to lift the team's spirits after the 2-5 defeat to Atletico Madrid in La Liga on September 27. Real Madrid also suffered a loss of strength when two defenders, Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, did not participate in the match against Kairat due to injury.

Real Madrid's appeal in the Asia-Europe region is expected to create a frenzied atmosphere in the stands. Mundo Deportivo said thousands of fans from Central Asia, Russia, China and many other countries in the Asia-Europe region have bought tickets to see Real Madrid play.

Meanwhile, Kairat players were overwhelmed with emotion when they met Real Madrid in the qualifying round of the Champions League this season. Kairat is the club with the lowest squad value in the tournament. Meeting a series of big clubs such as Real Madrid, Inter, Arsenal, Sporting,... brought the players and fans an unprecedented football feast.

According to the plan, Real Madrid will have a practice session on the field on the afternoon of September 29 at Almaty Central Stadium, which has a capacity of 23,000 seats. The match will take place at 11:45 p.m. on September 30. In the first round, Real won 2-1 against Marseille, while Kairat lost 1-4 to Sporting Lisbon.
