Real Madrid will look to finish the job in the last 16 of their Champions League clash with Liverpool on Wednesday night.
Los Blancos fell two goals behind at Anfield, but rallied to stage a remarkable comeback, as Merseyside ran out 5–2 winners to gain a foothold in the quarter-finals.
Here side manager Carlo Ancelotti can choose where to get his team over the line.
GK: Thibaut Courtois – Was the star of the show in last season’s Champions League final, proving his doubters wrong with nine saves.
RB: Dani Carvajal – Has had to fight competition from Lucas Vazquez, Militão, Nacho and Álvaro Odriozola for the right back spot this season, but starts more often.
CB: Eder Militao – On Saturday, he scored with a bullet header against Espanyol as Real came from behind to win 3-1.
CB: Antonio Rudiger – Forming a strong partnership with Militao, ominous for the absent Alaba.
lb: Nacho Fernandez Eduardo Camavinga looked a bit out of position at the weekend, so the reliable Nacho should be fielded at left back in the absence of both Ferland Mendy and David Alaba.
