In just two days, Real Madrid are facing Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals first leg.
Picking the right starting lineup is crucial to bring a positive result from Allianz Arena. That's why replicating the lineup that triumphed over Manchester City earlier this month seems the wisest move.
Yet, some adjustments are in order.
1) Due to suspension, Dani Carvajal will be absent, with Lucas Vazquez stepping in.
2) Though Eder Militao is back, starting him is still risky given his recent return from an ACL injury. Meanwhile, Nacho's standout performance at the Etihad earns him a starting spot against the Germans.
3) If fit, Ferland Mendy will make it to the starting eleven, while Eduardo Camavinga starts on the bench, ready to inject energy if needed.
Otherwise, no changes are expected.
Real Madrid possible XI: Lunin, Vazquez, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy, Tchouameni, Valverde, Kroos, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr.
