Cristiano Ronaldo to play in Germany

Carlo Ancelotti has called up his 20 players for the return leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Borussia Dortmund. Among them is Real's main man, Cristiano Ronaldo and academy player José Rodríguez.

Cristiano was rested for the clash against Real Sociedad as a precaution, but Ancelotti has decided to play him at the Signal Iduna Park stadium, opting for the most effective team possible to ensure the club's qualification to the semifinals.

Coentrao, despite not playing in Anoeta due to a muscle strain, has also been included in the line-up. It is likely that he will start, although Nacho put in a good game. 

Real Madrid squad list:

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Diego López and Jesús.

Defenders: Varane, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao, Carvajal and Nacho.

Midfielders: Bale, Di María, Xabi Alonso, Casemiro, Modric, Isco, Illarra and José Rodríguez.

Forwards: Morata, Benzema and Ronaldo.
