Real Madrid host Benfica in the second leg of the Champions League’s Round of 32 and they will almost certainly do so without Kylian Mbappé, who is suffering from a sore knee. In his absence, Gonzalo García will likely start in the center of the attacking line.

Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois; Trent, Rüdiger, Asencio, Carreras; Tchouaméni, Valverde, Camavinga, Güler; Vinicius, Gonzalo.

Benfica predicted XI: Trubin; Dedic, Otamendi, T. Araújo, Dahl; Aursnes, Barreiro; Lukébakio, Sudakov, Schjelderup; Pavlidis.

Alexander-Arnold and Asencio will likely return to the starting lineup as well. Madrid have a 1-0 lead on aggregate.
