In a fascinating turn of events, Real Madrid manager has decided to name four attacking players in his lineup to face Legia Warsaw. The expected trio of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo are joined by Alvaro Morata – suggesting there may be a formation or a role change on the cards.
Toni Kroos and Matteo Kovacic will form a midfield pivot and may or may not have a third man in there with them. The defence has a makeshift look and will see Fabio Coentrao and Nacho make their first Champions League starts of the season

For the hosts, Nikolic leads the line with Moulin and Odjidja playing as a two in midfield. Rzezniczak and Pazdan have been mainstays in the Warsaw team and will be hoping to nullify the threat of a ferocious attack they have at their disposal today.
Legia XI vs. Real Madrid: Malarz; Bereszynski, Rzezniczak, Pazdan, Hlousek; Kopczynski, Moulin, Odjidja Ofoe, Guilherme, Radovic; Nikolic.
