It's happening people! Real Madrid will take on Real Zaragoza in La Romareda at 20:00 CET (2:00 PM EST, 11:00 AM PST); it will, finally, be broadcast on television on Canal+ in Spain and GolTV in the United States (and if anyone has the television information for anywhere else let me know).

Lineups (courtesy of Lucas):
Real Zaragoza: Roberto; Juárez, Da Silva, Meira, Paredes, Abraham; Barrera, Zuculini, Ponzio, Lafita; and Uche
Real Madrid: Casillas; Ramos, Carvalho, Pepe, Marcelo; Xabi Alonso, Coentrao; Di Maria, Özil, Cristiano Ronaldo; and Karim Benzema
