Sergio Ramos was deemed fit enough to start Real Madrid’s Champions League last 16 second leg against Atalanta on Tuesday.

Ramos played an hour against Elche in La Liga on Saturday, which was his first appearance after two months out with a knee injury.

The in-form Karim Benzema and midfielder Fede Valverde were also picked by Zinedine Zidane after missing the first leg, which Madrid won 1-0 in Bergamo.

Atalanta made three changes from that opening game, with Marco Sportiello replacing Pierluigi Gollini in goal.

Ruslan Malinovskyi and Mario Pasalic started in place of the suspended Remo Freuler and Duvan Zapata, who dropped to the bench.
