Real Madrid team news
David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga remain unavailable due to knee injuries, while Dani Ceballos is out with an ankle issue.
However, there’s good news for Los Blancos as Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni have returned to full training, though they’re unlikely to start just yet.
Eder Militao cut his international stint short after suffering a muscle injury during Brazil’s training sessions, but the defender is anticipated to be fit and slot back into the heart of defence alongside Antonio Rudiger.
Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe will continue leading the line in a central role, with Rodrygo, Arda Guler, and Vinicius Junior providing attacking support.

| Goalkeepers: | Courtois, Lunin |
| Defenders: | Carvajal, Militao, Vasquez, Vallejo, Garcia, Rudiger, Mendy |
