Real Madrid Vs. Real Zaragoza: Major Changes for Mourinho

There's no doubt that Jose Mourinho still believes Real Madrid has a chance in the Champions League and his multitude of changes for today's match shows it. Cristiano Ronaldo is not in the 18, while Arbeloa, Özil, and Di Maria are all on the bench.

It will be interesting to see how focused and motivated Madrid are in a match that holds little significance for them with the La Liga title all but decided. A Madrid loss or draw opens the door for Barcelona to officially clinch the title next weekend.

Real Madrid XI: Iker Casillas; Ricard Carvalho, Ezequiel Garay, Nacho, Sergio Ramos; Esteban Granero, Pepe, Sergio Canales Madrazo; Gonzalo Higuain, Karim Benzema, Kaka.

Bench: Antonio Adan; Emmanuel Adebayor, Alvaro Arbeloa, Marcelo, Mesut Özil, Angel Di Maria, Juanfran

Real Zaragoza XI: Antonio Doblas; Jiri Jarosik, Paulo Da Silva, Javier Paredes, Carlos Diogo; Leonardo Ponzio, Gabi, Guirane N'Daw; Lafita, Ikechukwu Uche, Jorge Lopez

Bench: Leo Franco; Edmilson, Florent Sinama-Pongolle, Maurizio Lanzaro, Nobrega Braulio, Ivan Obradovic, Adam Pinter
