One final game to go for 'Los Blancos' to seal a ticket for the Champions League knockout stages as they take on Brest on Wednesday night. Real Madrid currently sit underwhelmingly in 16th place with 12 points, which is not quite enough to guarantee them a top-24 finish.
But after a disappointing start to the tournament - defeats to Lille (1-0), AC Milan (1-3) and Liverpool (2-0) - the Spaniard seem to have found their footing once again - victories over Atalanta (2-3) and recently Salzburg (5-1) - and will be confident that they will get the job done in their visit to the Stade du Roudourou.
13th-placed Brest will be no walk in the park for Ancelotti's men, who will crucially be without Vinicius Junior due to suspension for yellow card accumulation, but in-form man Mbappe will look to make up for the absence of the Brazilian superstar after scoring a hat-trick in the 0-3 win against Valladolid at the weekend.
The 15-times Champions League winners are also missing Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao due to long-term injuries, which will keep them out for the rest of the season. Eduardo Camavinga will also sit out the clash with an injury, though he is expected to make his return to team training in the coming days.
Goalkeepers: Courtois, Lunin, Sergio Mestre.
Defenders: Alaba, Lucas Vazquez, Fran Garcia, Rudiger, Mendy, Jacobo Ramon, Asencio.
Midfielders: Bellingham, Valverde, Modric, Tchouameni, Arda Guler, Ceballos, Pol Fortuny.
Forwards: Mbappe, Rodrygo, Endrick, Brahim, Gonzalo.
