Former Kenya international striker Dennis Oliech was the first Kenyan to play against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
He represented Auxerre on the 8th of December 2010 against the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Oliech lasted a full 90 minutes in the match they would rather not remember or think about.
They lost the match by four goals to nil with the galacticos confirming the French club's fate in Europe.
Oliech was kept quiet by the resilient Marcelo but also had his opportunities and glimpses of brilliance.
Their loss meant they finished the season on one point and bottom of their group.
The pool had the likes of AC Milan and Ajax as well.
Real Madrid progressed to the next round after finishing top of their group with an amazing goal difference alongside Italian giants AC Milan.
Auxerre needed to win their match against Real and hope that AC Milan win against Ajax for them to finish at third which is the position for advancing to the Europa League round of 32.
Mc Donald Mariga was the second Kenyan to play there during his loan spell at Real Sociedad from Internazionale.
It is likely that Victor Wanyama will play at the venue in the coming days considering Tottenham’s resurgence in the Champions League and the domestic league. He missed a chance to play there the last time due to his unfortunate injury and subsequent operation.
