REAL MADRID:
Real Madrid who has lost two home Clasicos in the space of three days have lost both Copa Del Rey and La Liga, now Champions League it’s all they got. It’s a different story in the Champions League chapter where Madrid have won the last three editions, which is quite a tremendous record. This is the 23rd time where Madrid have made it to the Champions League knockout stage. Santiago Solari’s side suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Girona before losing back to back games with Barca. As a result, they have lost their last three in front of their own supporters, who are incredibly frustrated with what they have seen from their team this season. With Real Madrid on the brisk of losing its reputation, Santiago Solari is likely to make some unexpected changes in the midfield with Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric all due to start, but there will be no Sergio Ramos as he’s suspended for Madrid’s next two matches. Nacho is currently serving a domestic suspension, but the Spaniard is available to feature in Europe and is the favorite to start alongside Raphael Varane.
Probable Line-ups: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Nacho, Reguilon; Casemiro, Modric, Kroos; Vinicius, Benzema, Lucas.

AJAX:
While Ajax started off quite impressively but later they lost to Los Blancos in the first leg in the home soil which mostly shook them from within. Yet they will be visiting the Spanish capital in full confidence as they got guts and a strong form as well.
As for Ajax, Dusan Tadic started as the central forward in the first leg in Amsterdam and it is likely that will be the case once again on Tuesday night, leaving Kasper Dolberg and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as options from the bench. Hakim Ziyech and David Neres should join Tadic in the final third, with Frenkie de Jong – who is joining Barcelona this summer – starting alongside Lasse Schone in the middle of the park. Daley Blind should pair the in-demand Matthijs de Ligt in central defence, meanwhile, with Nicolas Tagliafico – recently linked with Arsenal and Barcelona – featuring at left-back.
Probable Line-ups: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Blind, Tagliafico; De Jong, Schone; Neres, Van de Beek, Ziyech; Tadic.
