Real Madrid has made public its starting eleven for the next match against Benfica in the first leg of the Champions League round of 32.
Real Madrid starting eleven: Courtois; Trent, Rüdiger, Huijsen, Carreras; Tchouaméni, Valverde, Camavinga; Güler; Vinicius, Mbappé.
Benfica starting eleven (to be confirmed): Trubin; Dedic, Otamendi, T. Araújo, Dahl; Aursnes, Barreiro; Prestianni, Sudakov, Schjelderup; Pavlidis.
As expected, Mbappé returns to the starting lineup after missing the weekend’s game against Real Sociedad. Real Madrid will need a quality performance to ensure they do not need any type of comeback in the second leg next week.
