Real Madrid Vs Liverpool: Brendan Rodgers Believes Cristiano Ronaldo Is the Best Player In the World
Liverpool Set To Drop Captain Steven Gerrard For Champions League Trip To Real Madrid
GK) Iker Casillas
Back in favour at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu after a couple of seasons restricted to the cup competitions for Los Blancos. He will be hoping for a quiet night if the Reds really do rest their main players.
RB) Alvaro Arbeloa
With Dani Carvajal likely to miss out through injury, it looks like Arbeloa will get another chance to play against his old club.
LB) Marcelo
The Brazilian will be looking forward to troubling the Merseysiders’ shaky defence with his bombing runs forward.
CB) Pepe
Pepe will continue at centre-back for the Galacticos. Liverpool’s forwards will have a tough night ahead of them against the Portuguese defender.
CB) Sergio Ramos
The Madrid stalwart will continue to keep the brilliantly talented Raphael Varane out of the side.
CM) Luka Modric
The Croatian will be up against a packed Reds midfield, but should still have the class to help unlock it.
CM) Toni Kroos
The 2014 World Cup winner has fitted right in since making the move to the Spanish capital, and should continue in his central midfield berth.
RW) Isco
Since coming in for the injured Gareth Bale, Isco has been in great form. So good in fact that he could well keep his place in the side even now, with the Welshman coming back to full fitness.
LW) Cristiano Ronaldo
Arguably the best player in the world at the moment, the Portuguese ace already has 21 goals this season. Brendan Rodgers will have to come up with some sort of plan to keep him quiet.
CAM) James Rodriguez
The 2014 World Cup Golden Boot winner has not disappointed since his enormous summer transfer to Madrid. He will continue to play in the centre between the brilliant talents of Ronaldo and Isco.
ST) Karim Benzema
Benzema has been in great form this season, quashing the rumours that he was going to leave the club. He completes what is probably the best forward line in world football.
