Real Marid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Karim Benzema will start against Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday night when the two meet in the Champions League.
The tie is a repeat of last year’s final, and in recent years, the Reds have had no luck against the LaLiga giants and they hope that changes this season.
Los Blancos’ main man Karim Benzema was an injury doubt before the game, but Ancelotti has confirmed that the French superstar will start resting at the weekend.

Asked about Benzema’s availability for the Anfield clash at Monday’s pre-match press conference, Ancelotti said via Yahoo: “I see Benzema is fine, he will start tomorrow.”
While Benzema will start, Madrid will be without midfielders Toni Kroos and Aurelien Tchouameni at Anfield, with Camavinga and Ceballos or Valverde expected to fill roles in the middle of the park.
Both teams have not been at their best this season, but the La Liga side will feel confident heading into Anfield this season.
