Full rotation or strongest eleven? Select ultimate XI for Atletico Madrid clash from 3 options

Option 1: best XI

Real Madrid are already crowned La Liga champions. The Madrid derby, however, is always one of the biggest games of the season, so Carlo Ancelotti could consider fielding his best available eleven.

David Alaba is the only regular starter who's missing, so Nacho could take his place in the central defence.

Rodrygo, who turned the Manchester City tie around on Wednesday, could start instead of Federico Valverde.

Option 2: slight rotation

Courtois; Vazquez, Militao, Nacho, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Kroos; Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius Jr.

For sure, there will be some tired legs after the epic Man City comeback, so freshening the squad a bit makes complete sense.

Here we put Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio on the right wing and mix the midfield up, placing Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde in the middle.

Option 3: full rotation

Lunin; Carvajal, Militao, Vallejo, Vazquez; Valverde, Camavinga, Modric; Asensio, Mariano, Rodrygo.

Real Madrid's key players deserve some rest following their iconic 'remontada' against Pep Guardiola's side.

Ancelotti could start Andriy Lunin, Jesus Vallejo and Mariano as those players have had little game time this season.

Luka Jovic could enter the pitch as a sub in the second half.
