"It's important to keep growing away from home," underlined Xabi Alonso in the pre-match press conference. He's also named his squad for the game, including Kylian Mbappé, who opened his goalscoring account for the season with the winner against Osasuna last time out. The coach will also be able to use Rüdiger, who is back from suspension.
The opposition
