Inter and Real Madrid get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Champions League Group Stage fixture.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's quite the trip for Real Madrid when visiting Inter as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.

This match is a Champions League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 0 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in this competition.
Inter's previous game was a Serie A match also played at home, ending 4-2 versus Torino. The home side are looking to build on that result. A 1-1 draw away in the Serie A before that, with Atalanta the opponent.
The game against Torino had lots of late drama as Inter came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Lautaro Martínez's goal in the 90th minute. A goal frenzy last time out for Inter, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Torino. Fun stuff to watch!
