Real Madrid
- Ignacio Camacho is back for the home side after serving a ban and will slot into the centre of the park alongside Recio for Michel's men.
- Jony and Keko should start on the flanks, with Javi Ontiveros held back as a dangerous substitute to introduce in the second half.
- Martin Demichelis could get a runout for the hosts after announcing his retirement from football earlier in the week.
- Zinedine Zidane should utilise the same team that eventually coasted to a 4-1 victory against Celta Vigo on Wednesday.
- Nacho could potentially rotate into the back four for Los Blancos, but Raphael Varane is most likely going to retain his place over the Spaniard.
- Danilo will continue at right-back, with Isco deployed in a free role coming off the right flank.
