Carlo Ancelotti should have a well-stocked squad to contest the Reds at the Stade de France.
David Alaba is back in team training after missing out in the final Gameweek through injury and is set to replace Nacho Fernandez in the heart of the defense.
Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy should start as wing-backs, while Casemiro plays a deep midfield role.
With Casemiro occupying the number six role, Toni Kross and Luka Modric should start just ahead of him as attacking midfielders.
Ancelotti opts to start Rodrygo from the bench, with the Brazilian being more effective for the Los Blancos when coming off from the bench, so Marcus Asensio is the only noticeable option to replace the 21-year-old in the attack.
Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema will again start in front, with the latter aiming to break his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of most goals scored in a single UEFA Champions League campaign (17).
Real Madrid’s possible starting lineup: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Asensio, Benzema Vinicius Jr.
