Ancelotti rings the changes for Real

Carlo Ancelotti has made seven changes to Real Madrid's starting lineup for the second leg of their Champions League tie against Schalke 04 this evening.

Following the team's La Liga win over Malaga at the weekend, Alvaro Morata and Jese Rodriguez lead the attack alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, while Gareth Bale is named among the substitutes.

Meanwhile, the visitors have named an attacking lineup as they look to overturn a 6-1 deficit from the first leg.

Chinedu Obasi comes into the team, while Julian Draxler and former Madrid stiker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar start up front.

Real Madrid: Casillas, Nacho, Ramos, Varane, Coentrai, Illarramendi, Alonso, Isco, Ronaldo, Morata, Rodriguez Subs: Fernandez, Pepe, Marcelo, Carvajal, Bale, Casemiro, Di Maria

Schalke: Fahrmann, Hoodgland, Howedes, Matip, Kolasinac, Ayhan, Neustadter, Obasi, Meyer, Draxler, Huntelaar Subs: Hildebrand, Papadopoulos, Max, Goretzka, Boateng, Annan, Szalai
