On Wednesday, football fans will be able to enjoy a special match in Italy - at the "San Siro" stadium, Milano's "Inter" will face Madrid's "Real" teams. The match will undoubtedly be intense - as indicated by the history of encounters between the two teams. So far, "Inter" has played against "Real" 11 times, won five victories, suffered the same number of defeats, and ended one match in a draw. Interestingly, the ratio of goals scored and conceded is equal - 13:13. Italians are planning to field one of the strongest lineups against the giants of Spain - the hosts will only be missing defender Alessandro Bastoni. Meanwhile, the visitors arrive significantly depleted - missing Ferland Mendy, Gareth Bale, Dani Ceballos, Marcelo, Toni Kroos. There are also doubts about the possibility of Luka Jovic and David Alaba appearing against "Inter". "Real" coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke ahead of the match: "My team is in good athletic form. I think we played well against 'Celta', but Milan awaits a completely different story. We want to play as well as possible. 'Inter' uses the same system as last year, but they have a different coach directing the team, and they have a different motivation. We want to win the match, dominate the field, and simply play well. This tournament is very special for 'Real'," said the Italian. Predicted starting lineups: "Inter" (3-5-2): Samir Handanovic, Stefan de Vrij, Milan Skriniar, Federico Dimarco, Denzel Dumfries, Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Brozovic, Arturo Vidal, Ivan Perisic, Lautaro Martinez, Edin Dzeko. "Real" (4-3-3): Thibaut Courtois, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Nacho, Miguel Gutierrez, Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo, Karim Benzema, Eden Hazard. The match will begin at 22:00 and will be officiated by referee Daniel Seibertas from Germany.
