Atletico Madrid
After Cesar Azpilicueta returned to the matchday squad at the weekend, Koke is now the only player set to miss out for Atletico here, with Simeone able to choose from a strong squad.

Nahuel Molina and Robin Le Normand were only two players to come into the side against Getafe from the one that started the first leg, and both could keep their places despite the defeat, with the choice between the former and Pablo Barrios set to determine where Marcos Llorente will play.

Alvarez's stunning strike at the Bernabeu was his seventh in nine Champions League games this season, and it saw him become just the third Atleti player to score in successive derbies at the Bernabeu in the 21st century, after Diego Forlan, and his strike-partner Antoine Griezmann.
Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup:
Oblak; Molina, Gimenez, Le Normand, Javi Galan; Simeone, Marcos Llorente, De Paul, Lino; Alvarez, Griezmann

Real Madrid
The importance of the close title race meant Ancelotti picked a very strong Real Madrid team at the weekend, with Vinicus Junior, Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo all included in the starting XI.

Dani Ceballos is out with a hamstring injury, joining long-term absentees Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao on the sidelines, but Antonio Rudiger and Thibaut Courtois should be fine after they were not involved in the weekend win over Rayo.

There were rests for Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Ferland Mendy too, but all three should come back into the side as well, and the return of Bellingham from suspension is set to be the only change, with Brahim potentially unfortunate to miss out despite his match-winning contribution last week.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Rudiger, Mendy; Tchouameni, Camavinga; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vini Jr; Mbappe
Prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Real Madrid

Real Madrid is a problem in the champions league, just look out how they disallowed the penalty of avalrez using thier stupid VAR to always do ojoro, I just pray they should be knocked out by one team from the knockout stage
