Two-goal comeback necessary. It’s time to be heroes. It’s time to make history.

Thomas Tuchel makes just one change from the weekend, with Reece James coming in for Andreas Christensen. It could be a straight swap in a 3-4-3 (with Loftus-Cheek at wing-back), or perhaps a 4-3-3 with James and Alonso as fullbacks and RLC in central midfield.

Ancelotti keeps the same lineup as last week, with the one enforced changed in defense (Nacho for Éder Militão).

Here we go!


Real Madrid starting lineup (4-3-3):
Courtois | Mendy, Alaba, Nacho, Carvajal | Kroos, Casemiro, Modrić | Vinícius Junior, Benzema, Valverde

Substitutes from: Lunin, Fuidias, Asensio, Marcelo, Jović, Lucas Vázquez, Bale, Ceballos, Rodrygo, Mariano Díaz, Camavinga, Rafa Marín

Chelsea starting lineup (3-4-3):
Mendy | Rüdiger, Silva, James | Alonso, Kovačić, Kanté (c), Loftus-Cheek | Werner, Havertz, Mount

Substitutes from: Arrizabalaga, Bettinelli, Christensen, Chalobah, Sarr, Azpilicueta, Saúl, Jorginho, Vale, Pulisic, Ziyech
