Last time out in the league, Ancelotti’s men returned to winning ways, beating Rayo Vallecano 2-1 at the Bernabéu.

During the week, Real Madrid overcame city rivals Atletico Madrid on penalties in the Champions League round of 16. After 120 minutes of football, and the jam-packed football schedule, Ancelotti has said that his team is not fresh for today’s matchup.

There's no time to recover from the pressure of the games, but there's nothing I can do about it.

However, the Italian has still name a very strong starting XI, but Vinicius Jr., Antonio Rudiger, and Luka Modric have been named on the bench.
