Team News:
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, who is under formal investigation in connection with a sex tape blackmail plot, returns from injury after six games on the sidelines.
Captain Sergio Ramos, Gareth Bale, and James Rodriguez are all in contention, along with goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique will decide an hour before kick-off if Lionel Messi (knee) will start against Los Blancos.
What they’ve said ahead of kick-off:
Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez: “Benzema is in the squad, he trained well and is part of the group. We still have to decide whether he starts or not.
“Real Madrid have a way of playing, which is attacking and trying to score goals, and we do that regardless of the opposition.
“We don’t focus so much on our opponents. When we’re playing at our stadium with our home fans behind us, I always think that Real Madrid are favourites, but we’re up against a fantastic side.”
Luis Enrique (on Lionel Messi): “We know he won’t be 100%. Whether he plays or not, the great news is that he is fit again.
“I don’t have things planned yet. I will speak with Leo today and again tomorrow. An hour before the game, things will be decided.”
