Zinedine Zidane is expected to display all his regular starters for the most important match of the season so far, despite some of them suffering from injury problems.
Los Blancos take on Manchester City on Wednesday hoping to qualify for the Champions League final. Zidane had the doubts of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, who have been sidelined for a few days.
Ronaldo has recovered on time to make it in the starting lineup. Benzema will be a doubt until the last moment, but Zidane is expected to risk him.
Thus, the Portuguese and the Frenchman will feature alongside Gareth Bale in the forward line. Should Benzema finally sit on the bench, Zidane would most likely pick Lucas Vazquez, who has shown an impressive form in the past few games.
In defence, Daniel Carvajal will return at right-back. Pepe and Sergio Ramos will be the centre-back pair and Marcelo will feature at left-back. Zidane will display his usual midfield line, with Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
This is Real Madrid’s projected eleven: Navas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.
This is Manchester City’s projected eleven: Hart; Sagna, Kompany, Mangala, Clichy; Fernando, Fernandinho; Navas, Toure Yaya, De Bruyne; Aguero.
