The UEFA Champions League is back and that means that Real Madrid's only hopes of winning a title this 2015-2016 season will be at stake. Los Blancos earned what should be a comfortable 0-2 lead when they visited Il Olimpico a few weeks ago but they must be careful as a similar situation happened last season when Schalke almost knocked Ancelotti's side out of the European competition with a good and thrilling game at the Bernabéu.
Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Marcelo and Gareth Ball will all return to the Starting XI, meaning that only Karim Benzema will be forced to miss this match with a hamstring injury.
AS Roma will surely try to complete a good performance in order to have a chance of advancing to the next round. Their match in Italy was not as bad as the 0-2 suggests and they could have a chance if Madrid's defenders are not careful enough.
