Team news
Real Madrid faces this match with three injury absences. Pepe (ribs), Gareth Bale (calf) and Fabio Coentrao are all out for this clash, leaving Los Blancos with a couple of problems on both ends of the pitch. The biggest doubt before this game will be solved when Zidane chooses the man that will replace Bale, as Isco, Asensio and even James Rodriguez have a legitimate chance of making the Starting XI against Los Colchoneros.
On the other side of the pitch, Atlético Madrid will also have their fair share of problems, especially on defense. Diego Simeone's choices when picking a Starting XI will not include Miguel Angel Moyá, Sime Vrsaljko and Juanfran, all out due to injury. Furthermore, Yannick Carrasco and Augusto Fernández will sit this one out for the same reason, while trying to recover for the second leg of this tie.
