Real Madrid welcomes Inter in a match of the group stage of the Champions League. The final outcome of this match will be crucial for the first place. At the moment, Real Madrid is the leader with 12 points, but Inter is just two points behind them. This means that the Nerazzurri need a victory if they want to secure an easier draw in the 1/8 finals. Any other result means that Real Madrid will keep its first position.

Carlo Ancelotti will not be able to rely on Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema on Tuesday. The Frenchman suffered an injury in the visit against Real Sociedad over the weekend, which was won by the "The Whites" - 2:0. Vinicius and Luka Jovic scored one goal each, in the absence of Real Madrid's most important player in the last few seasons. However, on Sunday, Real will face another difficult match in La Liga - a visit to Atletico Madrid and most likely the Brazilian will have a break against Inter.

The Nerazzurri warmed up perfectly for the upcoming visit to Madrid, beating Roma in a Serie A match 3:0. Inter scored all their goals before the break, thanks to which they did not throw so much energy in the second half. Inter also have problems with injuries to key players, so it was important to ensure success against Roma early on. After the match, Simeone Inzaghi said that this is probably the best match of his team since he took the lead and he will hope for another good result on Tuesday.

In the last 15 months, Real Madrid and Inter have played a total of three matches in the Champions League, with Madrid winning three times. Carlo Ancelotti, now known for his pragmatism, as a coach of The Whites, the Nerazzurri will definitely not have an easy time. Even a draw will ensure Real Madrid the first place and I expect that it will happen. This season, Inter has failed several times in difficult away games against teams that defend well. The Nerazzurri lost 3:1 to Lazio in Rome and did not beat Shakhtar in Kiev (0-0 draw).
