"February is another important month and the team is in good shape," said Ancelotti ahead of the game. The Italian will be without Nacho, but Tchouameni is back in the squad. The midfielder played a key role in the first leg at Montilivi (0-3), where he scored one of the three goals. Bellingham and Joselu, Real Madrid's top scorers in the championship with fourteen and seven respectively, also found the net in that game.
Girona
