This is how the race for the Pichichi Trophy looks like before tonight's game:
Robert Lewandowski: 25 goals
Kylian Mbappe: 24 goals
Mbappe starts tonight, while Lewandowski is on the bench.
A number of big calls by both managers when selecing the starting lineups.
Ancelotti has opted to start youngster Arda Guller instead of Rodrygo down the right wing.
Flick has made a decision to not start Lewandowski, clearly thinking that the Polish forward is still not 100% fit. The question is: is an almost-fit Lewandowski better than a fully-fit Ferran Torres?
Real Madrid have just six senior players on the bench, the other half being made of Castilla players.
FC Barcelona: Inaki Pena, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Alejandro Balde, Andreas Christensen, Hector Fort, Ronald Araujo, Fermin Lopez, Gavi, Marc Casado, Ansu Fati, Pau Victor, Robert Lewandowski
Real Madrid: Andriy Lunin, Sergio Mestre, Jacobo Ramon, Jesus Vallejo, Youssef Enriieuz, Luka Modric, Brahim Diaz, Endrick, Rodrygo, Victor Munoz
FC Barcelona: Wojciech Szczesny; Gerard Martin, Inigo Martinez, Pau Cubarsi, Eric Garcia; Pedri, Frenkie de Jong; Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Lamine Yamal; Ferran Torres
Real Madrid: Thibaut Courtois; Francisco Garcia, Raul Asencio, Aurelien Tchouamenu, Lucas Vazquez; Daniel Ceballos, Federico Valverde, Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, Arda Gulre, Kylian Mbappe
