Inter Milan vs Real Madrid UEFA Champions League Match Preview or Key Statistics 📊
Inter Milan have lost three of their last four games against Real Madrid in European competition (W1), including their most recent meeting at the start of the month.
This will be Real Madrid’s first away game at Inter Milan since November 1998, when they lost 3-1 in the UEFA Champions League under Guus Hiddink.
Inter Milan have never previously lost at home to Real Madrid in European competition (P7 W5 D2), while they’ve won each of the last three.
Real Madrid have won seven of their eight UEFA Champions League games against Italian opponents under Zinedine Zidane (L1) – the lone defeat in this run (1-3 v Juventus in 2017-18) is the only game they’ve failed to score more than once in.
If Inter Milan fail to win this game, it will be the first time they’ve not won any of their first four games of a UEFA Champions League campaign. They have drawn two and lost one of their opening three games this season.
Real Madrid will be hoping for their first away win in the UEFA Champions League since December 2019 (3-1 v Club Brugge), having failed to win their last two away trips in the competition. They last went three in a row without winning on the road in the Champions League in November 2016 (a run of four).

Five of Lautaro Martínez’s six goals for Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League have been scored away from home – at the Giuseppe Meazza, the Argentine has only scored once in six appearances in the competition.
Eden Hazard is still looking for his first Real Madrid goal in the UEFA Champions League – this will be his ninth appearance for the club in the competition, while he’s attempted 13 shots without finding the net so far.
