The UEFA Champions League Group Stage will see the first half of the group stage coming to an end this week, and one of the most anticipated matchups of the season is set to take place in Spain.
The game between Real Madrid and Inter will attract quite a big deal of attention due to their need to win their first match of the campaign. Los Blancos will enter this clash with only one point to their names after rescuing a late draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach, while the nerazzurri will make the trip to Spain with only two points after claiming a 2-2 draw against the German side and a goalless draw facing group leaders Shakhtar Donetsk.
Los Blancos will get to this match on quite a good roll, having won two of their last three games, including a 3-1 win in El Clásico and a 4-1 victory over Huesca the past weekend. During that game, Eden Hazard scored his second goal with the Spanish side, in what should give the Belgian an ego boost ahead of such a big match for the Spanish club.
As for Inter, Conte's men have only won one of their last four, with three of those games ending in a draw. The nerazzurri side has only beaten Genoa during that run, although their defensive record looks quite promising, as they have conceded four goals in their last four games.
These teams will meet once again on November 25 at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, in what could be an even more relevant game once the outcome of this match is known.
