While Jude Bellingham is again available for the home selection after a ban on two games, the Englishman is suspended in this competition for the first leg on Tuesday because of the yellow card accumulation. Brahim Diaz will probably continue on the right side of the midfield.
Federico Valverde has to deal with a small knee tendon problem, but is expected to return to Ancelottis XI here, and he can replace Lucas Vazquez at Right-Back.
Raul Ascio will replace David Alaba and Partner Antonio Ruder in Mitte-Back, while Jesus Vallejo, Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal and Dani Cemballos are all out of operation.
Real Madrid predicted line-up against Atletico (4-4-2): Courtois; Valverde, Rudiger, Ascio, Mendy; Brahim, Tchouameni, Camavavinga, Rodrygo; Vinicius, Mbappe.
The two injury concerns of Atletico revolve around two veterans, Cesar Azpilicueta and a state -friendly midfielder Koke.
It is not expected that no player can be seen on Tuesday.
Julian Alvarez was the match winner in La Liga at the weekend after he was published by the bank. He will replace Alexander Sorloth at the start -xi in Bernabeu. Jose Gimenez and Marcos Llorente should also be set up in Simeone’s line -up.
Atletico predicted the line-up against Real Madrid (4-4-2): Oblak; Llorente, Gimenez, Le Normand, Galan; Simeone, de Paul, Barrios, Gallagher; Alvarez, Griezmann.
Madrid gathered after he had fallen back in the recent head-to-head match, and while Ancelotti’s side is undoubtedly fallen, we shouldn’t read too much in her discomfort in La league. They always turn it on when it is most important in this competition, but they will miss the skills for running strength and the bending skills of Bellingham on Tuesday evening.
We know that visitors hand over and control the territory before they jump into the transition and you should be successful against a Madrid team with different structural problems without a ball.
In view of the fact that this is a big European night in Bernabeu, it is difficult to stop by the hosts with an advantage.
