Zidane to play same XI as in Milan
After the display of energy, speed, togetherness and imaginative gameplay in last Saturday's attacking performance at Eibar, Real Madrid will return to its old version for the visit to the Stadio San Paoloo on Tuesday night.
BBC, with Cristiano Ronaldo rested and without discomfort, will once again be headlining the attack.
Former Real coach, John Toshack, once said: "In the end, we always play the same 11 bastards."
The story with Zinedine Zidane is different and although one of his most important players is not performing at the expected level, as was seen against Las Palmas, Ronaldo will return to the starting lineup against Napoli.
Some may suggest that those absent from the game against Eibar have the right to be back in the side against the Italians in any event.
That, or simply for the reason of them winning the 11th European Cup for the club Milan against Atletico.
However, what the match against Los Armeros demonstrated was that this team is complete, with players such as Marco Asensio, James Rodriguez and Lucas Vazquez always showing desire, energy and a will to win.
These players will be on the bench, at least from the beginning, but they are the future of the team.
Zidane has never hidden that for him, as long as they are well and without problems, BBC's presence in the starting XI is non-negotiable - and it will remain so for the moment.
In his opinion, those three players are a step above the rest or at least those who could take their place in attack, and though the exhibition against Eibar won't be forgotten it doesn't give an automatic passport for ownership of a starting spot.
Dani Carvajal and Marcelo will also start against Napoli.
There is concern about the shape of the Brazilian and the ups and downs of the Spaniard during matches.
Marcelo did not play against Eibar because he is not well.
The coach wants him to recover his best form but it will not stop him starting in the most important game so far this season.
