~6 0~h3 class=”app_edito_title_2″>20:42 – A difficult assessment in Spain
The Madrilenians are the favorites for this Real Madrid – AC Milan. Beyond their more advantageous form in recent years, the Milanese record on Spanish soil in European competitions is more than sluggish. In 28 matches, the Italians have suffered 16 defeats, against 7 draws and 5 victories. On the other hand, their last trip ended in a victory, which is more, at Madrid facing the neighbor of their opponent of the evening, Atletico.
20:35 – A Real which remains on a terrible defeat
Before this Real Madrid – AC Milan, the Madrilenians remain on a historic defeat. They were swept away in the Classico against FC Barcelona at home (0-4). They were unable to recover from this defeat since they saw their match against Valencia postponed last weekend after the terrible floods that hit Spain last week.
20:28 – Two teams in the tough
This Real Madrid – AC Milan will be interesting in many ways. Beyond the huge shock that this match represents, the Merengues and the Rossoneri are showing rather complicated forms and it is time to wake up. A defeat would plunge the Milanese into a mini crisis since they are provisionally eliminated from this league phase before this 4th day. Opposite, the Spaniards are still in a rather disappointing 13th place. The stakes are therefore huge tonight.
20:21 – 14 years later
While Real Madrid and AC Milan are two teams used to playing in the Champions League, they have not met for 14 years in this competition. In 2010, the two teams played two confrontations in the group stage. At the Bernabeu, the Spanish won 2-0 but it was 2-2 at San Siro.
20:14 – Two European giants
This Real Madrid – AC Milan is a huge shock of this Champions League. These two teams are quite simply the two teams that have won the most Champions League. The Spanish have won 15 and remain far ahead of their Milanese runners-up who have gleaned seven titles.
We know the two starting elevens for this Real Madrid – AC Milan. Carlo Ancelotti continues to trust Vinicius and Mbappé up front even if these two players are not very confident. Camavinga is on the bench. The Merengues' XI: Lunin – Lucas Vázquez, Militao, Rüdiger, Mendy – Valverde, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Modric – Mbappé, Vinicius.
Opposite, three French players are starting for the Milanese. Théo Hernandez, Youssouf Fofana and Mike Maignan start. The Rossoneri XI: Maignan – Emerson, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez – Fofana, Reijnders, Musah – Pulisic, Morata, Leao.
