Real Madrid have announced their squad for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Liverpool, which will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.

The good news is that Carlo Ancelotti has been able to call up French striker Karim Benzema, who was absent with an ankle injury in the league match against Espanyol, for the decisive game in Europe's top competition, for which the 'Merengues' will start with a 2-5 lead result from the first leg.

In addition to the French striker, his compatriot Ferland Mendy, who has not played a game for Los Blancos since 26th February due to a muscle tear in his left thigh, is also back in the squad.
