Zinedine Zidane already knew his Real Madrid starting XI for the comeback game against Wolfsburg before last Saturday's
league fixture against Eibar.
Thus, the game against Los Armeros allowed certain substitutes to gain minutes alongside starters Dani Carvajal and Casemiro.
Keylor Navas, Luka Modric, and Karim Benzema weren't even on the bench as the Frenchman took no risks.
Those five players will surely begin the game against the Germans, the other six spots being filled by those who played in the last El Clasico match.
In the away tie, Carvajal was the only player rested from those who started at Camp Nou, his place filled by Danilo whose performance was ripped apart by numerous critics.
As a result, Carvajal will return to the right side while Pepe, Sergio Ramos, and Marcelo complete the backline.
Casemiro, along with Toni Kroos and Modric in the centre, will form Real's midfield.
The goals will continue to be the responsibility of 'BBC,' Real's expensive trio consisting of Benzema, Gareth Bale, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
As Wolfsburg has already proven to be a formidable opponent, Los Blancos will need to be firing on all cylinders to advance to the next round of the Champions League.
