Real Madrid-Liverpool, the likely lineups.

The final day of the Champions League round of 16 closes with the big match between Real Madrid and Liverpool, scheduled to take place at the Santiago Bernabeu at 9 p.m. The Blancos start clearly favored after the 5-2 accrued at Anfield. For the Reds a really tough task, called upon to come back from a three-goal disadvantage on the road.

Ancelotti has announced the recovery of Benzema, who will occupy the center of the attack with Vinicius and Valverde on his flanks. Mendy returns to the squad, although Nacho will act on the left flank with Carvajal on the right.

Klopp must still do without Luis Diaz and Thiago Alcantara: trust Konaté in defense and Bajcetic in midfield. In attack, usual trident formed by Salah, Gakpo and Nunez.

Likely lineups.

REAL MADRID (4-3-3): Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Nacho; Modric, Tchouameni, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius. All. Ancelotti.

LIVERPOOL (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konatè, van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Bajcetic; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez. All. Klopp.
