Real Madrid host Inter Milan at the Santiago Bernabéu tonight at 9:00 p.m. in the match of the sixth and last day of the Champions League group stage. Ancelotti’s team (in first position in group D with 12 points) and Simone Inzhagi’s team (second with 10 points) come to the meeting with the comfort of having a guaranteed place in the next round of the tournament. However, it is in the interest of the whites to maintain the lead in the standings to make it easier for them in the round of 16 draw, in which they would be spared facing threatening rivals such as Liverpool, Bayern or United. A draw for Madrid would be enough to maintain their position, but tonight they have to achieve it without Benzema’s offense, which is out and is a doubt for Sunday’s derby.

The main referee tonight will be the German Felix Brych. Marco Fritz will be at the VAR.
In the most recent confrontation between the two, Real Madrid won the San Siro with a late goal from Rodrygo (0-1). Even last season both teams already coincided in the same group, and the white team took the victory in both commitments. This is their longest winning streak against the Italian team in European competition. Real Madrid have won seven of the eight games in which they have hosted Inter in European competition (1D), while the Italian team’s last away win against a Spanish rival in European competition was in October 2004, a win by 1-5 against Valencia.
Inter, for their part, is also on a three-game winning streak, having added just one point in the first two matchdays (loss against Real Madrid and draw against Shakhtar). But as a visitor, the Nerazzurri team remains undefeated after two matches in this edition, drawing against Shakhtar and defeating the Sheriff.
Real Madrid have three victories in a row in this Champions League, after losing the second match of this group stage against the Sheriff. In total, the Whites have accumulated four victories and one defeat so far in the competition, scoring 12 goals and conceding only three. However, that only defeat to date in this edition of the Champions vs Sheriff was precisely at home, at the Santiago Bernabéu (1-2).
Real Madrid are looking to finish first in the group! The Whites lead Group D with 12 points, followed by Inter with 10. Ancelotti’s men are worth a draw to pass as first, but a victory for the Italian team would cause Madrid to pass as second in the group.
Inter will take the field with: Handanovic – D’Ambrosio, Skriniar, Bastoni – Dumfries, Barella, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Perisic – Lautaro and Dzeko.
Let’s go with the starting eleven at the Santiago Bernabéu! Madrid comes out with: Courtois – Carvajal, Militão, Alaba, Mendy – Modric, Casemiro, Kroos – Rodrygo, Jovic, Vinicius.
Good evening and welcome to the match between Real Madrid and Inter Milan, for matchday 6 of the UEFA Champions League group stage! We started!
