Real Madrid face Chelsea tonight, not quite as a two-man team, but relying hugely on their goalkeeper and their centre-forward to get them over the line in LaLiga, and to send them into the Champions League quarter-finals.
Thibaut Courtois and Karim Benzema were already the most important players in the side in the first half of the season but with the slight dropping off in form of Vinicius, and some signs that a lack of rotation is taking its toll in midfield and defence, the Belgian and the Frenchman are more important than ever.
