It wouldn't be difficult for Ancelotti to select the players who would be responsible for delivering the goals for Real Madrid.
The Italian coach does not have much option when he has to select his forward line. There are only 4 players from the batch to be chosen with two of them already being injured (Ronaldo and Jese).
The two players who would definitely be playing in the front row would be Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema.
After missing out on the World Cup, Gareth Bale appears to have taken full advantage of the time he has received.
In interviews after achieving the La Decima, he was seen urging over the point that he thinks there is a lot more he can give on the pitch.
It appears that he has clearly been working on his physique for the most part and has now definitely turned strong as ever.
Gareth Bale is also the only player to have scored for Real Madrid in the pre-season game. The two goals that he scored came against Inter Milan and Manchester United.
Moreover Gareth Bale,being the local boy, would be in one of his best moods to play the final with the crowd cheering in his advantage.
After a whole vague, nervous and unclear summer transfer window, Karim Benzema has signed a new contract with Real Madrid till 2019. His place in the team was under doubt when Real Madrid planned to include Luis Suarez to the squad.
After having missed many opportunities to score in the second half of Real Madrids campaign, Karim Benzema's position was questionable. After an excellent(but short lived) performance in the World Cup he has retained his spot in the team.
He seems to be the best and only center striker for the Finals.
The backbone of Real Madrid attack , Cristiano Ronaldo, will probably miss the finals. There is still a lingering hope that he might participate. This leaves the spot open for James Rodriguez/Isco.
In the pre-season game it was seen that Isco was made to play besides Gareth Bale(due to lack of efficient players) against AS Roma and Manchester United. Ancelotti could continue this strategy for the finals and if needed, he could replace Isco with James Rodriguez in time of victory or turmoil.

"It was disappointing not being in the World Cup, but I had a seven-week break and I could do a full pre-season.
"My adaptation last year was hard because I had no pre-season. This season I feel I am training well. We hope the preparation will help us all to achieve the goals this season. "
