💫 Mbappé's first UCL start! Real Madrid and Stuttgart announce their XIs

Real Madrid will face Stuttgart at home tonight and begin their mission to defend their Champions League title.

Carlo Ancelotti is battling numerous injury problems in his squad, with Eduardo Camaving and Dani Ceballos out until around the end of this month.

This is how they are set up.

Real Madrid: Courtois, Lucas V, Carvajal, Rüdiger, F. Mendy, Valverde, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Mbappé, Vini Jr.

Kylian Mbappé will play his first Champions League game for the club and Vinícius Júnior will also be in the starting line-up after coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed his form problems earlier this week.

After the defeat in the German Supercup (only one point from two Bundesliga games), Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß hopes for a better performance from his players in this toughest of all tests.
