Kylian Mbappe continues to spearhead the attack as the No. 9 while Jude Bellingham operates as the central attacking midfield.

Meanwhile, in midfield, Federico Valverde has been given a breather by the manager, with captain Luka Modric getting the nod in midfield alongside Eduardo Camavinga. Aurelien Tchouameni also gets a break.

Lucas Vazquez and Fran Garcia line up as the full-backs while Raul Asencio and Antonio Rudiger start at centre-back. Andriy Lunin comes into the team with Thibaut Courtois unavailable due to an overload.
