Real Madrid will be hunting for their first win in the Champions League this season when they play host to Inter Milan. The side will travel to the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium this Tuesday night. The match schedules kickoff at 11 pm.
Los Blancos have only one point to show off in their group standings against Shakhtar Donetsk and Borussia Monchengladbach. The side is currently bottom of the table. Inter sit third on the table after two draws in their opening two matches.
Madrid head into the match on a four winless streak in the Champions League. The side lost to Manchester City twice in the last 16 of the previous season’s competition. Zidane started the campaign with a shocking 3-2 defeat to side Shakhtar Donetsk.
The loss becomes oven bitten, given that the first team members for the Ukrainian side were unavailable after testing positive for coronavirus.
However, the side looks keen on advancing to the last 16 stages but faces an uphill task against Inter Milan. A 4-1 win over Huesca might be what Zidane needs to shake off the bad leg by the side.
On the other hand, Inter Milan reached the Europa League’s finals while losing out to Sevilla. The side started with a 2-2 draw to M’gladbach followed with a goalless draw to Shakhtar Donetsk last weekend.
