Champions League: Gonzalo Garcia steps in for Mbappé in clash against Benfica

Real Madrid lines up a two-striker attack with Vinicius Junior and Gonzalo Garcia against Benfica this Wednesday in the Champions League playoff second leg. Kylian Mbappé is resting, and Rodrygo is suspended. Alvaro Arbeloa makes two changes after the 1-0 victory in the first leg. In central defense, Raul Asencio replaces the injured Dean Huijsen and Eder Militao alongside Antonio Rüdiger. Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga, as expected, are in the starting lineup. Real is aiming for qualification for the group stages after this crucial matchup.
