Real Madrid and Inter Milan will face off in the Champions League on Tuesday evening at the Bernabeu, with first place in Group D on the line for both teams.
Los Blancos presently lead the section by two points over Inter, with both teams having already qualified for the knockout stage of the league.
Real Madrid won their eighth game in a row in all competitions on Saturday, a 2-0 triumph against Real Sociedad in La Liga, putting them eight points clear at the top of the league.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team hasn’t lost since a 2-1 defeat to Espanyol at the start of October, and they’ve won each of their past three Champions League matches, defeating Shakhtar Donetsk twice before a 3-0 victory over Sheriff Tiraspol on November 24.
Los Blancos lead Group D with 12 points from five games, and if they avoid defeat on Tuesday, they will finish first in the section, but a loss would drop them to second, potentially putting them in a more challenging tie in the last-16 stage of the competition.
Real Madrid has finished second in their group three times in the last five seasons, but they were first in their division last season and advanced to the semi-finals, where they were defeated by eventual winners Chelsea.
The capital giants were not seen to be serious title candidates at the start of the season, but their recent form has been amazing, and they cannot be written off because of their incredible history in the competition, having won the European Cup a record 13 times.
Stream will be available when the match starts.
