Option 1 – Nacho at right-back
Real Madrid XI: Courtois - Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Nacho - Casemiro, Kroos, Modric - Vinicius Jr, Benzema, Rodrygo.
Option 2 – formation change
Real Madrid XI: Courtois - Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Mendy - Casemiro, Kroos, Valverde - Isco - Benzema, Jovic.
- Mendy plays on the right again – MARCA said that he had even 'offered himself' to fill the void.
- Isco acts as an attacking playmaker.
- Both Benzema and Jovic are on the pitch.
Option 3 – heavier rotation
Real Madrid XI: Lunin - Mendy, Ramos, Varane, Militao - Casemiro, Kroos, Valverde - Vinicius Jr, Benzema, Vazquez.
- Lunin takes the place in the sticks (Courtois may be not fit due to a minor injury).
- Militao plays on the right (he has already tried it before).
- Lucas Vazquez gets the chance upfront.
