Real Madrid seems all ready to take on Shakhtar Donetsk for their Champions League clash, With Madrid on the top of their table Ancelloti should be looking to give some game time to other players in the squad.
The game time players require to develop themselves should come in these matches as Real Madrid has more than a 90% chance to qualify for the round of 16 in the Champions League.
Real Madrid was comfortably able to dispatch Shakhtar Donetsk back in Bernebeu in their first fixture a comfortable 2-1 victory for Real Madrid.
That game could have gone even worse for Shakhtar, as Madrid dominated every set of play, Real Madrid dominated the position and was quickly able to dispatch Shakstar defence. However, only 2 goals scored by Madrid might not be a favourable outcome for Real as they could have easily scored 6 to 7 goals.
Shakhtar would have a completely different mindset as the underdogs, Donstek would be looking to play from the back and try to trouble the Madrid backline with through balls.
As seen in L Liga, Real Madrid right now lacks that finishing might be in Benzema's absence Real Madrid has missed that firepower in front of the goal, they create a hell lot of chances but the conversion rate of these chances is very low.
With Carlo Ancelotti would be wanting to rest some of his key players for the big fixture against Barcelona. Shakhtar has a pretty good chance to dominate and quite able take a point from Real Madrid.
