Zinedine Zidane protects Gareth Bale against PSG
The Welshman in theory could have started but Zidane brought Isco in from the cold
Zinedine Zidane has decided to leave Gareth Bale on the bench to stop more grief being given to him against PSG by Real Madrid fans.
The coach saw how fans reacted to him at the weekend, when he played well as a substitute after THAT banner incident.
Instead Zidane has brought back in Isco, who has barely played this season, with Rodrygo dropping out of the side.
Luka Modric has been benched too, at the expense of Toni Kroos, with Marcelo also back in.
Madrid XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Varane, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo; Fede Valverde, Casemiro, Kroos; Isco, Benzema, Hazard.
