Inter Milan vs Real Madrid: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Inter Milan and Real Madrid will be in the same group for the second consecutive year. In the 2020-21 UCL the Merengues won both matches but they picked up just one triumph from their last eight visits (D2 L5) to San Siro.

The Nerazzurri, however, have lost four of the last five meetings with Real Madrid (1W). Inter will try to improve their result of the previous campaign when they finished bottom of the group, while Los Blancos will attempt to reach the final after coming up short in semis at Chelsea, who eventually won the title.

These two have a long history of facing each other in the most prestigious tournament in Europe. Things have been quite even between Inter and Real Madrid so far, with five victories apiece and a draw.
