Almost the opener! A freekick delivery into the Getafe penalty area caused a bit of a problem, the ball fell to Casemiro, but the Brazilian midfielder shoots over under intense pressure!

Vinicius picks up the ball deep in midfield, turns and starts running towards the opposition. It takes a foul to bring down the Brazilian winger. That's what he can offer.

So it looks like this is a back three from Real Madrid with Marcelo at left wing back and Marvin at right wing back. This is something new from Zidane. Let's see how it works.

Indeed, it is relatively noteworthy that Isco is not in the Real Madrid team this evening. Even with the Spanish champions down to the bare bones of their squad, Isco doesn't start.
