WARSAW (Reuters) - Playing behind closed doors will not offer any advantage to Real Madrid when they contest their Champions League Group F game at Legia Warsaw on Wednesday, coach Zinedine Zidane said.

Legia's opening game against Borussia Dortmund at the Polish Army Stadium was overshadowed by crowd trouble and tournament organisers UEFA banned fans from attending the next home game, against Real, as well as fining the club 80,000 euros ($88,424.00).
