Real Madrid has already qualified to the next round of the competition after earning 10 points from their first four games on the strength of a three-win and one-loss record. The team led by Carlo Ancelotti prevailed in its opening three divisional matches against Celtic, Leipzig, and Shakhtar.
However, in their most recent away game against Shakhtar, they needed an injury-time goal from Antonio Rudiger to earn a point, and the 1-1 draw was enough to advance them to the round of 16.
Karim Benzema will not be permitted to play in this game as a result of his fatigued absence from the encounter against Sevilla, according to Ancelotti. In place of Mariano Diaz and Dani Ceballos, Thibaut Courtois, who made a comeback from injury against Sevilla, will once again start in goal. A good starting lineup should be chosen since Ancelotti wants to win the section, though Rudiger might replace Ferland Mendy with another player from the squad that played on Saturday.

Eden Hazard could play in the center of the field in place of Karim Benzema, but it appears more likely that Federico Valverde, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Junior will remain the front three.

If Real Madrid defeated Celtic on November 2 at the Bernabeu, they would still be in with a chance of taking the group, even if Leipzig managed to make history in front of their own fans.
Real Madrid hasn’t dropped a game yet this season, and their La Liga triumph over Sevilla on Saturday, which they won 3-1, helped them extend their lead over Barcelona, who is currently in second place, to six points. In order to get ready for the 2022 World Cup, Ancelotti’s club still has five games left to play, including matches against Girona, Rayo Vallecano, and Cadiz in the league as well as Leipzig and Celtic in the Champions League.
