The second leg of the quarterfinal match was a much-anticipated match. In the first leg, the two sides drew 3-3.
About Joan Armeni
The situation, where he will be suspended for accumulating three yellow cards, has left Carlo Ancelotti looking for a replacement. Nacho is expected to partner Rüdiger in the center-back line, while Militão
It's also likely that he'll play, although he hasn't gotten much playing time since his comeback.
In terms of injuries, Real Madrid have no new injury concerns other than Joan Armeni's suspension. Rodrigo missed some training earlier due to an injury but is now back and his absence was for precautionary reasons. Courtois and Alaba are still out with injuries, while Carvajal, Bellingham
Kamalinga and Vinicius.
Both are just one yellow card away from being suspended.
For the starting lineup prediction, Real Madrid is expected to field Lunin, Carvajal, Rüdiger, Nacho, Mendy, Camarvinga, Kroos, Valverde, Bellingham, Rodrigo and Vinicius. And while Militão could be a surprise starter, there are risks associated with such a choice. Vazquez and Modric will be on the bench at all times.
