The Champions League is back, and Real Madrid debuts at the Bernabéu. Mourinho's players kick off this season against a rival they have faced 13 times before in the history of Europe's top competition: Inter Milan (9:00 pm CEST; Orange TV and Movistar Plus+).
Our team begins tonight its 57th participation in the European Cup, and it is the club that has played the most editions of this competition. Inter is the first of eight matches the madridistas will play in the group stage of the Champions. Leipzig, PSV, and LASK will also visit the Bernabéu, while the four away matches will be against Roma, AEK Athens, Arsenal, and Shakhtar Donetsk.
“We are going to compete and we want to beat Inter,” said José Mourinho during the pre-match press conference. Mbappé also appeared in the press room at Real Madrid City. The French forward expressed his excitement about the return of the Champions: "Starting at the Bernabéu is extra motivation."
