On Wednesday the UEFA Champions League battles will continue. In the match in Milan, the clubs "Inter" and "Bayern" from Munich will clash. This match will be very important for both clubs, as in Group C, the "Barcelona" team, which continues to fight after suffering two losses, will try not to show mercy to Plzen's "Viktoria". In the local leagues, the Milan team started uncertainly in the "Serie A" championship. In the first five rounds, the club collected nine points and currently occupies only eighth place in the championship. S. Inzaghi's pupils defeated "Lecce", "Spezia", and "Cremonese", but failed against Rome's "Lazio" and "Milan" clubs. The Bayern team also cannot boast of a successful start in the Bundesliga championship, only scoring points by playing draws with M. "Borussia" and Berlin's "Union" teams. Meanwhile, in the three victories, J. Nagelsmann's pupils held a goal fiesta - 7:0 against "Bochum", 6:1 against Frankfurt's "Eintracht", and 2:0 against "Wolfsburg" team. In the German championship, "Bayern" is in third place, trailing behind the leader "Freiburg".
Comments S. Inzaghi ("Inter" coach): "We know that we need to earn ten points in this group. It is even more challenging than last year, but we are "Inter" and we have the opportunity to show that against "Bayern" - one of the three main favorites to win the Champions League. What do I think about Sadio Mane, the striker who arrived in Munich? He is an excellent player who can run with incredible intensity from attack to defense. Mane does everything very quickly, and that can cause you problems." J. Nagelsmann ("Bayern" coach): "Considering our club's history, we are all contenders to triumph in the tournament. The Champions League is a very special tournament; you only need to hear its anthem before the match. I have not yet had the opportunity as a coach to be at the 'San Siro' stadium, where so many historical matches have been played in the past, and it is difficult to say whether a similar story will repeat itself on Wednesday. The first match is not decisive, but we will try to start confidently."

Referee The match in Milan will be led by the French referee Clement Turpin. The match will start at 22:00. Prediction Despite a few unimpressive matches at the start of the season, "Bayern" is known for its scoring game, while "Inter," on the contrary, has a leaky defense.
