POSSIBLE REAL MADRID STARTING 11 LINE-UP | SPANISH CUP 2 º LEG SEMI

This line-up comes out of the Real Madrid website, the possible starting 11 line-up against FC Barcelona in tonight's Spanish Cup ( Copa del Rey) 2º leg return semi-final. Seeing that it does come from the "horse's mouth" makes me wonder even more if Coach Mourinho isn´t hiding a card or two up his sleeve. Seems too early & public to have this information circling around before the "Clasico".

Possible starting 11 line-up Real Madrid:
Diego Lopez; Arbeloa, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Coentrao; Khedira, Xabi Alonso; Kaka, Özil, Cristiano Ronaldo & Higuaín.

There are however lingering doubts with the starting line-up with these currently mentioned players having stiff competition for their place:
Higuain ( perhaps Benzema? )
Kaka ( perhaps Di Maria?)
Coentrao ( perhaps Marcelo? )
& Varane? 

Doesn't the French youngster deserve a start for his brilliant performance & goal against Barça in the home 1º st leg match? Perhaps neither Coentrao or Marcelo will start & Arbeloa will be moved over to the left-back side & Sergio Ramos moved to the right-back side to give room for Varane. Why not?

As you can see plenty of variations available for Mourinho. The final starting 11 will be known 45 mins before kick-off.
