Real Madrid's senior players want Lassana Diarra to be registered for the Champions League.

Real chiefs face the dilemma of being able to register only one of Diarra or fellow new signing Klaas Jan Huntelaar for the remainder of the Champions League.

Marca says Real's players want Diarra to get the nod due to his versatility and defensive qualities. The players have become obsessed with the goals they've conceded this season and believe Diarra can go a long way to solving the problem.
