Real Madrid and Juventus are both lining up as expected for their Champions League semifinal second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu, which the Italian outfit lead 2-1 on aggregate.
Karim Benzema, Paul Pogba return for Real Madrid vs. Juventus
Carlo Ancelotti and Max Allegri have both named predictable starting lineups.
For the hosts, Sergio Ramos drops back into a centre-back role after playing in midfield in the first leg, with Karim Benzema coming into the starting lineup in place of Pepe.
Paul Pogba returns to the Juventus midfield, with his position vacated by youngster Stefano Sturaro. He did a good job in the first leg, but Pogba is comfortably Juve's best player. The only question is whether he has the fitness to complete the full match.
Real Madrid starting lineup (4-3-3): Iker Casillas; Marcelo, Raphaël Varane, Sergio Ramos, Dani Carvajal; Isco, Toni Kroos, James Rodríguez; Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale.
Juventus starting lineup (4-3-1-2): GIanluigi Buffon; Patrice Evra, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Stephan Lichtsteiner; Paul Pogba, Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio; Arturo Vidal; Carlos Tevez, Álvaro Morata.
