Expected squad for PSG and Real Madrid summit
Real Madrid face Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League final, which many consider the most integrated team on the scene, including future star Kylian Mbappe and lionel Messi.
Real Madrid, under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti, who knows the Parisian team and the French capital, and plays it with all his reputation and titles, with his star Karim Benzema, who will join the game, even if he participates from the bench.
Real arrive for the match almost complete, after Benzema recovers from injury.
Although all indications are that Benzema will return, the backup plan includes several options, from relying on Welshman Gareth Bale, who returned after 168 days of absence or playing isco as a fictitious striker, to playing with outspoken spear heads such as Luka Jovic and Mariano Diaz.
For the French side, all forces are ready, including Neymar, who could start the match on the doka after a two-and-a-half-month absence due to injury.
The only name to miss the Parisian team is Sergio Ramos, the historic leader of Real Madrid, who moved to Paris Saint-Germain, but his adventure there was hampered by numerous injurie s.
The team's coach, Mauricio Pochettino, is recalling senegalese players Idrissa Jay and Abdou Diallo, who were recently crowned African Cup of Nations winners, as well as Argentines Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes, who were suffering from physical problems, as did Spain's Ander Herrera.

Paris Saint-Germain: Navas (or Donnarumma), Hakimi, Marquenius, Kempembe, Nuno Mendes, Danilo (O.J.), Paredes, Verratti, Di Maria, Messi, Mbappe.
Real Madrid: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy, Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Marco Asensio, Vinicius, Benzema (or Bale).
