Real Madrid vs. Inter: Probable Lineups and Team News
Inter's European journey begins as they face Real Madrid at the 'Bernabeu' on Tuesday at 9:00 PM for the first matchday of the Champions League League Phase.
Real Madrid's Current Form
After securing three initial victories against Espanyol, Real Sociedad, and Malaga, the home side suffered their first seasonal defeat away to Betis, marred by a missed penalty by Mbappé in stoppage time. Mourinho faces several midfield absences. The 'Special One' might consider dropping Jude Bellingham into the midfield alongside Valverde. Alexander-Arnold is a potential alternative if needed. Behind Mbappé in the attacking trident with Vinicius, Brahim Diaz and Diomande are expected to feature. On the right side of the defense, the familiar face of Denzel Dumfries will be present.
Inter's Current Form
Inter has had a perfect start to their league campaign, even securing a victory in their first major match of the season against Napoli. Some changes are anticipated for the Nerazzurri coach compared to Saturday's game. The 'ThuLa' strike force is set to return, and Calhanoglu will be back in the starting lineup in midfield, with Jones eager for a starting spot alongside Barella. There's a close contest between Diouf and Luis Henrique for the right wing, with the Brazilian currently favored. In defense, a back three of Bisseck, Stones, and Bastoni is possible. Dimarco will remain in Milan, thus giving Carlos Augusto a chance from the start.
