The expected line-up for the match between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain

Today, Tuesday (12:00 UAE time), Real Madrid will face Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League final, which is considered by many to be the most integrated team on the scene today, which includes in its ranks the future star, Kylian Mbappe, and the legend Lionel Messi.

Real is playing this match, under the leadership of Italian Carlo Ancelotti, who knows the Parisian team and the French capital, and plays it with all his reputation and titles, with his star Karim Benzema, who will join the match, even if he participates from the bench.

Real arrives in the match almost complete, after Benzema recovered from his injury.

Although all indications indicate that Benzema will return, the backup plan includes several options, starting with relying on Welshman Gareth Bale, who returned after 168 days of absence, or playing with Isco as a fake striker, through playing with frank spearheads such as Luka Jovic and Mariano Diaz.

As for the French side, all the forces are ready, including Neymar, who may start the match on the bench after an absence of two and a half months due to injury.

The only name that will be absent from the Parisian team is Sergio Ramos, the historical leader of Real Madrid, who moved to Paris Saint-Germain, but his adventure there faltered due to many injuries.

The team coach, Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, brings back his Senegalese players, Idrissa Guy and Abdo Diallo, who recently won the African Nations Cup with their team, as well as Argentines Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes, who were suffering from physical problems, like Ander Herrera.
