Center Defensive Midfield: Julian Weigl will be guarding the Dortmund backline when they face up the task of keeping out the likes of Luka Modric, Isco and co. At a tender age of 21, the German international is an integral part of the entire Dortmund system. Recently, Weigl was linked with a move to Manchester City as well.
Center Midfield(R): Mario Gotze will not travel to Madrid due to minor complaints, meaning Gonzalo Castro will start against the defensive champions. The qualities of the 28-year-old will be put to test against a strong looking Real Madrid side.
Center Midfield(L): Ousmane Dembele was the man of the moment for Dortmund, as the newcomer struck a brilliant goal past Gladbach in their 4:1 victory. His pace, agility and tendency to dribble might unbalance the weak looking Real backline.

Secondary Striker: Marco Reus was voted the player of the week in the most recent matchday as he bagged three assists against his former club Borussia Monchengladbach. His performance felt like the part which was missing from Borussia Dortmund, the entire season.
His linkup play with Gotze and Aubameyang will be the one to watch out for.
Striker: Who else? It’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is going to run at the Real defenders. The Gabonese superstar scored a brace and currently leads the Bundesliga top scorer chart with 15 goals already. His pace and sharp finishing will surely be a worry for Zinedine Zidane’s men.
