Real Madrid probable lineup

Real Madrid has an offensive power like no other team and during their most recent victory they showed that they are ready to defend their current title. Vinicius is now an important player alongside Benzema and Modric.

Ancelotti should use the same squad that he used against Celtic, although it is likely that this time Real Madrid’s defense will be a bit tighter than during their first game knowing that the German team is good at attacking.

This is the likely Real Madrid’s lineup for this game: Thibaut Courtois, Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, Benjamin Mendy, Lukac Modric, AurĂ©lien Tchouameni, Toni Kroos; Federico Valverde, Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr.

RB Leipzig probable lineup

RB Leipzig’s failure at home was terrible, they lost due to multiple defensive errors that left the team exposed from the 16th minute when Shved scored Shakhtar’s first goal. Although the team resisted during the first half, everything fell apart in the second half when Shved, Mudryk and Traore scored goals.

RB Leipzig’s defensive game is slightly bad and proof of that is their current struggle at the german league, Bundesliga, where they have not been able to figure among the top five teams in the standings.

This is the likely RB Leipzig’s lineup for this game: Peter Gulacsi; Mohamed Simakan, Willi Orban, Abdou Diallo, David Raum, Konrad Laimer, Xaver Schlager, Christopher Nkunku, Emil Forsberg, Dominik Szoboszlai, Timo Werner.
