Real Madrid is in France to play Brest in the final match of the Champions League's league phase. A win will guarantee a seeded spot in the knockout phase play-offs and, if several results go their way, a top-eight finish.
Vinicius Jr. is out due to a suspension; Brahim Diaz replaces him as he has done in the previous two La Liga games where he was suspended.
