CM – N’Golo Kante
With Mateo Kovacic having been ruled out, the Frenchman is guaranteed to start against Real, and his ability to break up play and disrupt the opponent’s rhythm will be vital.
Real excel when the likes of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are given time on the ball and Kante will need to be snapping at their heels throughout the 90 minutes.
