Team News: Karim Benzema, Alvaro Morata both start for Real Madrid against Legia Warsaw

Karim Benzema and Alvaro Morata both start in attack for Real Madrid in tonight's Champions League group match against Legia Warsaw in Poland.

Karim Benzema and Alvaro Morata will both start in attack for Real Madrid in tonight's Champions League group match against Legia Warsaw in Poland.

It has been debated for some time who out of the two is favoured by manager Zinedine Zidane, but the coach has responded to those questions by putting both in his starting XI tonight.

Injuries to defenders Sergio Ramos and Pepe have resulted in enforced changes in the backline, with Dani Carvajal and Nacho coming into the fold.

In total, four changes have been made to the team that thumped Alaves 4-1 last weekend as Fabio Coentrao comes in for Marcelo, who did not travel, and Morata replaces Isco.

As expected, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a hat-trick at the weekend, start this evening.

Legia Warsaw: Malarz; Bereszynski, Rzezniczak, Pazdan, Hlousek; Kopczynski, Moulin, Odjidja Ofoe, Guilherme, Radovic; Nikolic

Real Madrid: Navas; Carvajal, Varane, Nacho, Coentrao; Kroos, Kovacic; Bale, Morata, Ronaldo; Benzema
Subs: Casilla, Vazquez, Mariano, Asensio, Isco, Danilo, Tejero
