Real Madrid landed this Tuesday in the city of Lisbon, where they will face Benfica the next day in the Champions League, without the injured Rudiger and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Both remain in Madrid and may return at the weekend against Rayo Vallecano.
Coach Álvaro Arbeloa took to the Portuguese capital almost the same squad as the match against Villarreal, with just one change in goal: Fran González replaces Sergio Mestre.
