Preview
Real Madrid sealed qualification into the Round of 16 on Matchday 5 when they beat Sheriff 3-0 away from home.
Goals from Alaba, Kroos and Benzema were enough to settle scores after what happened on Matchday 2.
Los Blancos is currently on top of Group D with 12 points from 5 matches and a win can ensure a top table finish.
On the other hand, Inter beat Shakhtar 2-0 at home on MD 5 to seal their spot in the Round of 16 as well.
Dzeko’s second half efforts was enough to send Inter to 2nd in the table having secured 10 points from 5 matches.
This is a dead-rubber clash due to which we may see a bit of experimentation from either side as they prepare for the next round.
Both sides last met on MD 1 in Italy, where Real Madrid won 1-0 through Rodrygo’s effort a minute from time.
