Confirmed lineups for Real Madrid v Leipzig

Real Madrid return to Champions League action when they host RB Leipzig at the Santiago Bernabeu for the second leg of their last-16 clash, kick-off at 21:00 CET. 

The 'Merengues' will start with a slender lead after claiming a narrow win in Germany thanks to a Brahim screamer. Moreover, although the Spanish giants have been unlucky this season with injuries, Ancelotti will be able to count on the full squad available with the exception of Courtois, Alaba and Militao, who are closer to a return to action. 

For their part, Marco Rose's side arrive in the Spanish capital on the back of a poor run of form that has seen them win just two of their last five games, including a defeat to the La Liga leaders in the first leg.

Confirmed lineups for the clash

Real Madrid starting XI: Lunin (GK); Carvajal, Nacho, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Kroos; Bellingham; Tchouameni and Vinicius Jr.

RB Leipzig starting XI: Gulacsi (GK); Henrichs, Orban, Lukeba, Raum; Olmo, Haidara, Schlager, Simons; Openda and Sesko.
