Preview: Real Madrid vs Inter
Real Madrid begin their 2026/27 UEFA Champions League campaign with a heavyweight meeting against Inter at the Santiago Bernabéu. The match also carries an intriguing storyline as José Mourinho returns to the Champions League with Real Madrid and faces Inter, the club he famously guided to European glory in 2010.
Madrid come into the fixture looking to respond after suffering a 1-0 defeat against Real Betis in their most recent league match. Mourinho will be eager for his side to produce a more controlled performance in Europe, particularly after a difficult domestic outing. The pressure is naturally high at a club with such a strong Champions League tradition, and this first league-phase fixture offers an early test of Mourinho's rebuilt squad.
Inter, meanwhile, arrive as Serie A champions and should provide a stern tactical challenge. Their disciplined structure and ability to threaten through the wide areas could make life difficult for Madrid's defence. Federico Dimarco is particularly important to Inter's attacking approach, while Lautaro Martínez remains one of the major threats in the final third.
For Real Madrid, much of the attacking responsibility will fall on Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior. Mbappé finished as the Champions League's leading scorer last season and will be expected to provide the cutting edge against an Inter defence that is likely to prioritise organisation. Jude Bellingham's ability to connect midfield with attack could also prove decisive if Inter attempt to restrict Madrid's forwards
