Real Madrid face Stuttgart at home this evening, as they begin their defence of the Champions League crown.

Carlo Ancelotti is battling multiple injury problems within his squad, as Eduardo Camaving and Dani Ceballos are all out until around the end of this month.

Here’s how they line up.

Real Madrid: Courtois, Lucas V, Carvajal, Rüdiger, F. Mendy, Valverde, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Mbappé, Vini Jr.

Kylian Mbappé makes his first Champions League start for the club, while Vinícius Júnior also makes the XI after boss Carlo Ancelotti explained his struggles with form earlier in the week.

Defeat in the German Supercup only one point from two Bundesliga games so far means that Stuttgart boss Sebastian Hoeneß will be hoping for abetter showing from his players in this toughest of tests.

Can Mbappé shine this evening?
