Real Madrid to Face Inter Milan in Champions League Opener

Real Madrid is set to host Inter Milan in their Champions League opener on Tuesday evening at the Santiago Bernabeu.

This match marks a significant moment for Jose Mourinho, who will face his former club for the first time in the competition since leading Inter to European success 16 years ago. Real Madrid has a strong record in Champions League opening matches, winning 17 of their last 19, including their last five.

Inter arrives in Madrid with a perfect start to their Serie A title defense, having won all three league matches so far. However, they have struggled against Madrid in recent encounters, losing their last four matches without scoring. Real Madrid faces several selection challenges, with key players suspended or injured, while Inter's only notable absentee is Djed Spence, who is recovering from injury. The match will kick off at 20:00 BST, and UK viewers can watch it live on TNT Sports or stream it via HBO Max.
