Real Madrid is set to host AC Milan in a much-anticipated Champions League clash, with both teams coming off eventful weeks.
Los Blancos recently showed it once again by overturning a two-goal deficit to defeat Borussia Dortmund 5-2 in a stunning comeback.
However, this victory was followed by a heavy 4-0 loss to Barcelona in El Clasico, leaving Carlo Ancelotti's side eager for redemption.
Real Madrid's week wasn't without controversy either. The club opted out of attending last month's Ballon d'Or ceremony, citing frustration after Vinicius Junior was snubbed in favor of Rodri.
As if that weren't enough, last Saturday's fixture against Valencia was postponed due to severe flash flooding in Spain.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are coming off their first win in the Champions League against Club Brugge, giving them a much-needed confidence boost.
While Milan sits slightly more comfortably in the group, they are well aware of the need to build on this success to ensure a steady path through the competition.
Kick-off Time and Venue
Real Madrid vs AC Milan is scheduled to kick off at 8 pm GMT on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The match will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.
