Real Madrid travels to Warsaw to face the Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk with their homework done. The white team, undefeated in this Champions League, wants to continue their good run against a rival they were already able to beat last week in the third day of Group F of the Champions League.
Despite being clearly shaken by the war at home, Shakthar already showed that they are capable of fighting anyone in last week's first leg. The Whites were able to score goals in the first half, but in the second the Ukrainians had a chance of achieving a draw (2-1).
Carlo Ancelotti's players accumulate in the Champions League full of victories, with 9 points, seven goals for and only one against. In second position is the Ukrainian team, which has won one win, one draw and one defeat to date, with four goals for and two against. A win for the whites would leave their classification up for grabs.
The main news for the white team will be the return of Karim Benzema. The French striker rested against Getafe due to muscular discomfort to be available against Shakhtar and next weekend against Barcelona, in the Spanish football classic that will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Real Madrid squad list will be as follows: Lunin, Luis López, Cañizares (goalkeepers); Dani Carvajal, Odriozola, Militao, Alaba, Jesús Vallejo, Nacho, Rüdiger, Mendy (defenders); Tchouaméni, Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Fede Valverde, Lucas Vázquez (midfielders) and Hazard, Marco Asensio, Vinícius, Rodrygo, Benzema and Mariano (forwards).
Shakhtar-Real Madrid will be played next Tuesday, October 11 at 9:00 p.m. and can be followed through Movistar online and through the Movistar Champions League channel. In addition, the La Vanguardia website will track everything that happens at the event online and live.
