Option 1

Real Madrid XI: Courtois - Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy - Valverde, Casemiro, Kroos - Vazquez, Benzema, Rodrygo.

• Why change the winning team? Here is Madrid's exact line-up against Eibar with Valverde replacing Luka Modric.

Option 2

Real Madrid XI: Courtois - Odriozola, Varane, Militao, Marcelo - Odegaard, Casemiro, Kroos - Rodrygo, Benzema, Asensio.

• A bit of a shake-up in our defence to allow the fringe players to accumulate more minutes.
