CONFIRMED lineups: Real Madrid vs AC Milan, Dubai Challenge Cup

Real Madrid Starting XI: Navas, Arbeloa, Varane, Nacho, Coentrao, Illarra, Isco, Khedira, Ronaldo, Jesé, Chicharito.

AC Milan Starting XI: Lopez; Bonera, Mexes, Zapata, Albertazzi; Montolivo, De Jong, Muntari; Bonaventura, Menez, El Shaarawy

This is a friendly, but Carlo Ancelotti and his men will surely want to wrap 2014 up in good fashion by beating Milan. Still, Ancelotti will surely use all of his bench players to avoid injuries and possibly give Jesé some good minutes as well.

Real Madrid will visit Mestalla to face Valencia CF this next Sunday, so fitness will likely become Ancelotti's priority in this match.
