Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho leaves a number of first-team players on the bench for tonight's Champions League quarter-final second leg against APOEL Nicosia.

Karim Benzema, Mesut Ozil and Angel Di Maria have all been named among the substitutes for Real Madrid in tonight's Champions League quarter-final second leg against APOEL Nicosia at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Subs: Adan, Benzema, Ozil, Alonso, Albiol, Callejon, Di Maria
