The remaining matches of the Champions League Round of 16 will take place tonight, with one of the key fixtures being the clash between Schalke 04 and Real Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who is returning to action following a three-match suspension in La Liga, has been included in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting lineup for what promises to be a challenging encounter in Germany. Real Madrid’s record in Germany, with only one win in 25 matches, adds to the difficulty of the task ahead.
Meanwhile, Schalke 04 will rely on the talents of Ghanaian midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng, along with Cameroonian defender Joel Matip, to bolster their lineup.
Here are the confirmed lineups:
Schalke 04: Fährmann, Höwedes, Matip, Santana, Kolasinac, Boateng, Neustädter, Farfan, Meyer, Draxler, Huntelaar
Real Madrid: Casillas, Carvajal, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Xabi Alonso, Modric, Di Maria, Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema
