Real Madrid play Stuttgart at home tonight and thus begin their defence of the Champions League title.

Carlo Ancelotti is struggling with several injuries within his squad: Eduardo Camaving and Dani Ceballos are out until around the end of this month.

This is how they are lined up.

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

Kylian Mbappé makes his first start for the club in the Champions League, while Vinícius Júnior is also in the starting line-up after manager Carlo Ancelotti explained earlier this week that he has been struggling with form.

The defeat in the German Super Cup, with just one point from two Bundesliga games so far, means that Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß will be hoping for a better performance from his players in this toughest test.

Can Mbappé shine tonight?
