Team News: Cristiano Ronaldo returns, Fernando Torres starts in Copa del Rey showdown

Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Real Madrid's first XI for tonight's Copa del Rey second leg against Atletico Madrid, while Fernando Torres starts for the visitors.

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Real Madrid's starting lineup for tonight's Copa del Rey second-leg clash against local rivals Atletico Madrid.

The Portuguese star, who was crowned the Ballon d'Or winner on Monday evening, was rested for the first leg at the Vicente Calderon.

However, the 29-year-old has joined a full-strength side, including Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema, at the Bernabeu as the current holders try to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat from last week.

Diego Simeone has opted to keep Fernando Torres in the starting lineup, while Miranda has returned in defence in place of Jose Gimenez.

Real Madrid: Navas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Kroos, Isco, James; Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale

Atletico Madrid:,Oblak; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Siqueira; Suarez, Tiago, Koke; Garcia, Torres, Griezmann
