Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup vs Real Madrid

Goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel

Kobel will start in goal for Borussia Dortmund and could be in for another busy night against the star-studded Real Madrid attack.

Defence: Julian Ryerson, Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini

We aren't likely to see any changes to the Borussia Dortmund back four, and Nuri Sahin will hope that the defenders can step to the fore against Real Madrid.

Ryerson had an outstanding outing against Kylian Mbappe in the semifinals of the Champions League last season. He will hope to deliver a similar performance on Tuesday. Bensebaini goes into the game having scored his first Borussia Dortmund goal on Friday and will be keen to continue his momentum. He will start at left-back against Real Madrid.

In central defence, Anton will line up alongside Schlotterbeck and the duo will have to be alert at all times against Real Madrid's world-class attack that also includes Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior.
