REAL MADRID are without Cristiano Ronaldo tonight as they play Numancia in the Copa del Rey.
Numancia vs Real Madrid LIVE updates
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has rested start player Ronaldo for the game.
Instead, Gareth Bale will be tasked with leading Real to victory against this second-tier side.
Marco Asensio also starts in what is very much a second-string side for Zidane.
However, the likes of Rafael Varane and Isco are on the bench if Real need a boost.
But as Copa del Rey ties are based over two legs, the likelihood of Real exiting the competition at this stage is slim.
