As usual, Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema lead the attack, but winger Angel Di Maria will miss the game after being ruled out due to illness.
Borussia Dortmund, in the meantime, will be without forward Robert Lewandowski, who became the first player to score four goals in a Champions League semi-final last season, when he did so against Real Madrid.
