UCL: Real Madrid are in search of their first win in this season UEFA Champions League season against Serie A giant’s Inter Milan.
Real Madrid will be looking to secure their first victory in this season champions league when they host Inter Milan at the Alfredo So Stefano stadium on Tuesday night.
Los Blancos suffered a shocking home defeat on the opening day of the champions league, losing 3-2 to Shaktar Donetsk, despite the visitor missing several key players due to covid-19.
Zinedine Zidane’s side salvaged a draw in their last visit to Germany, coming back from two goals down to play 2-2 against Borussia Monchengladbach.
The Spanish champions sit bottom of Group B with just one point from two matches but will be looking to bounce back following their impressive show in La Liga, where they top the table with 16 points with seven matches.

Eden Hazard should start for the 13th times champions after he scored his first goal for Zidane’s side in their 4-1 victory against SD Huesca over the weekend.
However, Los Blancos have a problem when it comes to their right-back. With the chosen man currently Lucas Vazquez dur to Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Odriozola being injured, it seems as though the winger has also suffered an injury of his own.
As for Inter, they will be missing the services of their target man Romelu Lukaku who suffered a muscular strain and certainly a doubt for tonight clash.
