This Wednesday night (9:00 p.m.) the Champions League for the Real societywith their first clash of the group stage against Inter de Milan at the Reale Arena. The txuri-urdin team has just lost 2-1 against real Madrid, despite showing good play, and has 6 of the 15 league points played so far. With three goals scored and two assists this season, the Japanese Take Kubo It is the great asset of those of Imanol Alguacil for this European event.

The Italians, for their part, are the current runners-up of Europe, and they have won all four league games, so far. Their last victory was signed against Milan (5-1), so they top the classification of the Series TOwith 12 points.

In this context, Real faces a tough level test in Europe, against the current runner-up, who arrives at an excellent moment in the game. The maximum continental competition begins for the Gipuzkoa team, which Real will compete for the fifth time in its history, third in the last twenty years, with the current format.

The most important loss for Real among its summer reinforcements will be that of the Portuguese André Silva, but the coach, Imanol, has an offensive argument so that it is not noticed; also Aritz Elustondo is out due to injury, while Carlos Rodríguez is serving a suspension.

The eleven that started at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday seems to have many options to repeat at the Reale Arena this Wednesday. La Real is clinging to the great form of Take Kubo, who has become his big star, as he demonstrated with his spectacular first half last Sunday at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Inter, in top form

Inter, for their part, arrive at the duel in top form, and with confidence through the roof after the win they scored on Sunday against Milan (5-1), in the fifth consecutive derby that falls on their side. The men led by Simone Inzaghi, finalists in the last edition of the Champions League, in which they lost to Manchester City, are first alone in Serie A, with a total of four victories, in which they have only conceded one goal and have scored a total of thirteen.

Their new pair of forwards, after the controversial departure of the Belgian Romelu Lukaku, replaced by the Frenchman Marcus Thuram, has once again excited the fans of an Inter that has in the Argentine Lautaro Martínez, its captain, the best asset to believe in a new feat in the continental competition.

With his classic system with three center backs and two wingers, one of the hallmarks of this Inter, Inzaghi finds in the incorporations of the Italian Federico Dimarco and the Dutch Denzel Dumfries the perfect balance to be able to be aggressive in transitions without losing that defensive solidity that characterizes him, with the usual Italian trio, formed by Matteo Darmian, Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni.

The loss of the Turkish Hakan Calhanoglu due to discomfort in his left adductor opens the door to the ownership of the Italian Davide Frattesi, who will form, together with the Armenian Henrik Mkhitaryan and the Italian Nicolo Barella, Inter’s usual midfield, characterized by continually exchanging positions and giving support in falls to the wings, something with which he achieves that width and that tactical advantage that allows him to connect much more easily with the offensive duo that scares in Italy.

The Italian coach will also not be able to count on the Colombian Juan Cuadrado, who due to inflammation in a tendon in his left knee will remain in Milan, recovering for the next Serie A match.

Salzburg and Benfica, next rivals

La Real will play the next two European matches away from home. On October 3, the Donostia team will face the Salzburg at 6:45 p.m., in the Austrian city, and on the 24th of the same month they will travel to Lisbon to play the match against the Benficaat 9:00 p.m.
