Real Madrid have published their starting lineup for the upcoming match against Chelsea in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Semifinals.
Real Madrid starting XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Varane, Militao, Nacho, Marcelo, Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Vinicius, Benzema.
Chelsea starting XI: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, Chilwell; Jorginho, Kanté; Mount, Pulisic, Werner.
Surprisingly enough, Zidane has decided to start with three center-backs, meaning that Carvajal and Marcelo will be able to focus on their offensive game and Asensio starts the game on the bench. Him and Hazard will be good assets to have later in the game.
Date: 04/27/2021
Time: 21:00 CET (local time), 03:00pm EST.
Venue: Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano, Madrid, Spain.

I love spending time with friends talking about the important things in life and hate nothing more than 'authority' and hypocrisy. My personal believe in life is that once an individual sets his/her mind to achieve something, it is totally possible. And oh!, I am a strong Lannister, because I always pay my debt.
