  • TEAM NEWS: Raphael Varane is given the nod to start over Pepe at centre-back, with Dani Carvajal selected ahead of Danilo at right-back. Casemiro takes a seat on the bench, which means that Isco is the man chosen to join Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic in midfield. Lucas Vazquez is deployed on the right flank, as Gareth Bale is out injured, with Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo offering the main goal threat.
  • TEAM NEWS: Andres Iniesta returns from injury and takes a seat on the bench, with Samuel Umtit also among the substitutes: Javier Mascherano partners Gerard Pique at centre-back, with Andre Gomes preferred to Denis Suarez in midfield.
