The Champions League this week hosts two behemoths of the European game in a must-awaited battle. Inter Milan welcome Real Madrid at San Siro this Wednesday in the Group B clash. The match kickoffs at 11 pm.
Both teams are going through a difficult start in the group stages. At this midway point, both sides sit outside of the top two in Group B. The Tuesday clash provides a chance for both sides to overcome their recent mistakes.
Inter Milan’s poor start to Serie A continues with the side played host to Torino last weekend. Before the hour mark, both sides were equal with a 2-2 draw. Simone Zaza and Cristian Ansaldi each found the back of the net at the San Siro. However, the rich attacking options by Antonio Conte saw the match end in a 4-2 win.
Besides, Conte is yet to witness his side register a win in Europe’s elite competition. The side currently sits at the bottom of the Group with only two points taken from a possible nine. It remains a battle for this side to make it to the knockout stages.
On the other hand, Real Madrid does not have their best start in Group B, currently second last. Their recent domestic encounters saw the side held to a 1-1 draw to Villarreal. The Los Blancos are en route to Europa League.
