Carlo Ancelotti has not confirmed any new injury problems before the game, but the Italian coach is delivered by accumulation of the fecture.
Real Madrid rode a midweek victory over Stade Brest in the UEFA Champions League, but it was not enough to seal an automatic place in the last 16, and they are now confronted with a play -off with old enemies Manchester City.

Ancelotti's frustration was clear to see for this collision, because he claimed that there is no time for rest and preparation, so he will rotate in Barcelona.
According to Marca's latest update, he will try to make three starting changes compared to the victory over Brest, with Vinicius Junior back from the suspension.
The start of the Brazilian until 2025 is disturbed by forbidden in domestic and European games – with an absence in Brest that cleans up his list – when he returns to the visitors' attack.

Dani Ceballos is ready to replace the Croatian in the midfield of Ancelotti, with Lucas Vazquez taking the bracelet of the captain while Ancelotti is looking for a fourth consecutive victory over Espanyol after they have defeated them 4-1 in Madrid in September.
