Borussia M'Gladbach have revealed their starting XI.
Gladbach XI: Sommer - Bensebaini, Elvedi, Ginter, Lainer - Kramer - Hofmann, Neuhaus - Plea, Stindl, Thuram.
Here are 5 players Real Madrid should especially be wary of.
Marcus Thuram
The physical and technically gifted winger will be trying to exploit the spaces left by Lucas Vazquez. Madrid defenders should be particularly cautious while facing him since he's always eager to hold the ball in the box and win a penalty.
Ramy Bensebaini
Oof, Lucas Vazquez will have to do much defensive work today. The Algerian wing-back could be as dangerous as Marcus Thuram at times: apart from sending crosses into the box, Ramy is capable of entering it himself and look for a teammate in the penalty area.
Last season, the left-back scored a brace against Bayern Munich. What a sentence to put into his footballing CV.
Jonas Hofmann
Naturally a right winger, the German has turned himself into a quality box-to-box midfielder who often acts as an extra forward for Gladbach. The 28-year-old has recently made his debut appearance for Germany and surprised everyone after scoring 4 goals and making 5 assists in 7 games this season.
Florian Neuhaus
The young midfielder's technique is so good that he could either produce a long-range stunner or send a quality long pass to find a teammate who's 54 yards away from him.
Matthias Ginter
If Gladbach forwards don't deliver, this centre-back is there to make the difference. The defender has scored 3 goals and registered 3 assists for Gladbach and Germany combined since June 2019 and may be considered a very dangerous threat at set pieces.
