His England teammate Jude Bellingham is on the bench for Real Madrid, having not started a match since January because of a hamstring injury and is still finding his way back to full fitness.

Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa lines up with French striker Kylian Mbappe and Brazilian winger Vinicius Junior in attack, while 18-year-old midfielder Thiago Pitarch plays in midfield after impressing against Manchester City in the previous round.
