Preview and possible lineups for Real Madrid vs Inter Milan: Champions League begins

Real Madrid C.F.

The team led by Christian Chivu are joint leaders of Calcio with 9 points, after managing a perfect run of victories. The latest came with an epic comeback against the Nápoles. As for the head-to-head meetings, Real Madrid have the edge and Inter have the other side: the nerazzurri have not beaten the Whites since 1998.

For their part, Mourinho will be looking to get back to winning ways after dropping points against the Betis. It was not a worrying defeat based on what was seen on the pitch, but it was worrying in terms of their lack of accuracy in front of goal. Ineffectiveness is paid for dearly, especially in a competition like the Champions.

It is already known. In a club like the Real Madrid, any defeat is synonymous with alarmism. Doubts appear right away and are personified with great ease. Against the verdiblancos, the BMV were again disconnected from each other. Vinicius and Mbappé had a disastrous night, and Bellingham went unnoticed for almost the entire match. It is essential that on Tuesday the story is different.

Beyond that, the key to the match lies in how the Lusitanian coach sets up the midfield, who will not be able to count on Camavinga, Bernardo Silva or Arda Güler due to suspension- usual in the call-ups call-up-, but it does not seem like the most logical option to tackle a match of such demands; the range of options is limited: one would involve pushing Bellingham back into the pivot alongside the Uruguayan, -which would mean Brahim as an attacking midfielder entering the starting XI-, and the second and last would be to trust Trent Alexander Arnold, for whom it would not be the first time in that area of the pitch: both at the Liverpool and in his Selection, he helped at certain moments in building the game. The defence, and knowing that what happened with Cucurella were just cramps, will be full strength.

Possible starting lineups

Real Madrid's possible XI for Comuniate would be: Courtuois, Dumfries, Konaté, Hujsen, Cucurella; Fede Valverde, Bellingham; Brahim, Vinicus, Diomandé and Mbappé.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan would line up with: Martínez; Pavard, Akanji, Bastoni; Henrique, Barella, Calhanoglu, Sucic, Dimarco; Lautaro Martínez and Thuram.
