Real Madrid are already looking ahead to their next game, against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday. On Sunday, Real Madrid announced their 23-man squad for the game against the Ukrainian side.
The big news, although already expected, is Karim Benzema's presence in the squad. The Frenchman was left out of the squad for the match against Getafe due to rest, but is now available for Ancelotti.
