The 11 warriors of Real Madrid!

Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid face off for a place in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals this Wednesday at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. The second leg of this Round of 16 clash kicks off at 4:00 PM ET (Miami), with Carlo Ancelotti's side holding the advantage after a 2-1 win in the first leg. Meanwhile, Diego Simeone's team must win to stay in the competition.

Injury concerns for both teams ahead of the match

The biggest question mark for Real Madrid is the fitness of Kylian Mbappé, who picked up an ankle knock against Rayo Vallecano and will be assessed until the last minute. The Blancos will also be without Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão, Jesús Vallejo, and Dani Ceballos. On the Atlético de Madrid side, the main doubt is Clément Lenglet, who is dealing with discomfort but has been included in the squad. Meanwhile, Koke Resurrección is fit and ready to return to the starting lineup.

Pre-match press conference highlights

Ahead of the clash, Diego Simeone praised his rival, admitting that Ancelotti is "much better" than him, while the Italian coach warned about the intensity of the upcoming match. With Arsenal awaiting in the next round, the Madrid derby promises to be a high-intensity showdown at the Metropolitano.
