Both one and the other are in an emergency of winning the game to have a chance to get through the group stage. Real Madrid has only got one point out of six possible whilst Inter have tied twice.
Real Madrid won their game this weekend against Huesca. After their last two Champions League game, it is a must for Real Madrid to win as the rest of the season will depend on tonights game. It is the chance for the HBA to show the world that they are able to lead the team.
On the other side, Inter were not able to beat Parma. In their last two European games they have struggled to get points and tonight will be no different. Moreover, Lukaku´s injury means they lose their top scorer. Lautaro will be therefore in charge of scoring goals.
Carlos Acosta will join you during the broadcast of the match.
