Real Madrid are looking to bounce back from their heavy loss in El Clasico, as they face AC Milan for their Champions League campaign. Heading into this match, these two squads played 15 matches, where both have 6 wins respectively. Domestically, Real are doing well, as they have been impressive recently, giving them confidence in their matches. However, during Real‘s previous match, they suffered a 4-0 loss against Barcelona, making them eager to bounce back. On the other hand, Milan are inconsistent even domestically, which puts them at the seventh domestically. Fortunately, Milan are from a 1-0 win during the weekend, giving them confidence before this match. The meeting between these two teams is on November 6, 2024, at 4:00 AM (GMT+8).
Real Madrid
Real Madrid will be well-rested for their European match with Milan, as their La Liga match with Valencia was postponed due to Spain’s devastating floods. Carlo Ancelotti’s team has not been in action since their 4-0 loss to Barcelona, potentially putting them nine points off the top of the La Liga table. However, Real Madrid must focus on the Champions League, as they aim to move onto nine points. They have beaten Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund this season but lost in Lille last month, leaving them in 12th spot. Real Madrid is expected to record two wins over Milan and Osasuna ahead of the November international break.
Real Madrid will miss Dani Carvajal, Thibaut Courtois, Rodrygo, and David Alaba for their Champions League match on Tuesday. Antonio Rudiger is expected to be fit despite a knee problem. Ancelotti will select his strongest available XI, with Junior and Mbappe as front two.
AC Milan
Milan have only won once at Bernabeu, in the 2009-10 Champions League group stage. The last six meetings between the two sides have occurred in the group stage of the Champions League, with Milan posting two wins. Milan will aim to secure an upset on Tuesday night. The Red and Blacks have lost their opening two matches in the league phase this season, but have recorded a 3-1 victory over Club Brugge. Milan will enter this match after a 1-0 victory over Monza. They have 17 points from their opening 10 matches, leaving them in seventh spot in the 2024-25 Serie A campaign.
Milan’s Luka Jovic, Matteo Gabbia, Ismael Bennacer, and Alessandro Florenzi are injured, but Tammy Abraham returns to the squad. Rafael Leao started on the bench, but Fonseca suggests he will be in the XI against Real Madrid.
