Real Madrid vs AC Milan Preview

• Tournament: UEFA Champions League
• Date: Tuesday, November 5
• Kick-off Time: 08:00 pm GMT
• Venue: Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid.

Real Madrid vs AC Milan is a game between the two most successful clubs in the UEFA Champions League 2024-25. Real Madrid will host AC Milan at their iconic Santiago Bernabeu. This will be the fourth game for both sides, and the stakes are a bit different.

Real Madrid is at the 12th position in the Champions League points table, with two wins and a loss. They will be aiming for full points, as this will let them closer to their top eight spot aim. They are the defending champions and are playing like one this season. Except for one loss in La Liga and one in the Champions League, they are sailing strong.

AC Milan haven’t got a good boost to the season yet. They lost their first two games in the Champions League, before finally winning the last one. They have been no better in the Serie A either, currently in seventh place there. A win against Real Madrid will sky-rocket their confidence.

Key Players to Watch in Real Madrid vs AC Milan

Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)

The English midfielder has been largely out of form this season. He has no goals yet, and only one assist in La Liga and one in the UEFA Champions League. He needs to find back the form he was having last season, and not just run around the pitch like he did in the El Clasico.

Rafael Leão (AC Milan)

Leao was on the radar of top clubs in the transfer window, but clubs who wanted to get him couldn’t feel unsatisfied now, as his performance has been dull. The winger only has a goal in the Serie A, and none in the Champions League.

He needs to up his game, and some goals against Real Madrid will surely do that. Real Madrid have some leaks in the defense, and he needs to crack that.

Real Madrid vs AC Milan Prediction

Owing to home support, a stronger squad, and better form, Real Madrid are expected to win this game, by more than a goal. Also, AC Milan are having poor form, from which reviving might be a time-consuming moment. AC Milan might find it difficult to score but can do so on the counterattack.
