Vinicius starts! Real Madrid name lineup for UCL clash with Atalanta
Atalanta and Real Madrid have named their lineups for tonight's Champions League clash at the Gewiss Stadium.
In what is a game pitting the winners of the Champions League and Europa League against one another in a repeat of the Super Cup final, Carlo Ancelotti brings in Vini Jr., Fran Garcia and Dani Ceballos for Arda Güler, Ferland Mendy and Luka Modrić.
The Brazilian forward has missed the last four games with a muscle injury, but is back in from the start tonight.

The 15-time champions have struggled so far this season in Europe, losing three of their opening five games, leaving them in 24th position, and at risk of missing out entirely on the knockout stages.
What do you think of the teams and the match ahead?
