Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois; Trent, Militao, Rüidiger, Carreras; Valverde, Tchouaméni, Güler, Bellingham; Mbappé, Vinicius.
Athletic Bilbao predicted XI: Simón; Lekue, Paredes, Vivian, Yuri; Galarreta, Jauregizar; Berenguer, Selton, Nico; Guruzeta.
Carreras will likely return to the starting lineup as well, with Tchouameni, Valverde, Güler and Bellingham being deployed in the midfield line in what’s expected to be a very tough away game for Real Madrid.
