REF’s picks

Both teams to score looks plausible with Real Madrid missing key defensive pieces like Asencio and Mendy while featuring potent stars up front. Racing will fancy their chances of grabbing a consolation goal in front of their home supporters.

1. 1Madrid's defensive absentees give the hosts a glimmer of hope in the final third.
2. 2Mbappé and Bellingham ensure the visitors will almost certainly breach Racing's backline.
3. 3A clean sheet for Madrid is far from guaranteed given their ongoing rotation at the back.
