Prediction: 2-0
Milan
There will be fireworks when Real Madrid and AC Milan face each other at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League derby. Los Blancos were not in action at the weekend as their game against Valencia was postponed due to flooding. As a result, tired legs should not prove to be a problem for Carlo Ancelotti’s troops on Tuesday evening. The Italian tactician has a full squad to choose from, except for David Alaba and Dani Carvajal, who remain on the treatment table. Fit-again defender Antonio Rudiger should return to the starting XI, with Rodrygo pushing for a recall as well.
The Rossoneri, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Club Brugge in their last Champions League game and they managed to get one. Paulo Fonseca’s men defeated Monza in the Serie A round 11 as well, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Madrid. Kylian Mbappe and Co. are a real force to be reckoned with at home and we predict that the reigning champions are going to prove their worth on the field. As for the away team, Rafael Leao is pushing for a start, while all Bennacer, Florenzi, Gabbia, and Jovic remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Kylian Mbappé):
Kylian Mbappe is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. The French rising star began his youth career at AS Bondy and in 2013 he moved to AS Monaco. After making 12 appearances for Monaco B, Kylian Mbappe made his debut for the senior team in 2015. Mbappe quickly established himself as a regular goalscorer, with the teenager finding the net 15 times in 29 appearances in the Ligue 1 in the 2016/2017 season.
In 2017 he moved to fellow French club PSG on loan, with the option of making the deal permanent. Kylian Mbappe scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for les Parisiens in the 2017/2018 and it has to be noted that Unai Emery’s troops eventually won the national championship.
Speaking of his international career, Mbappe played an important role for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, with the pacey rising star scoring a brace in a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament. The PSG attacker was born in Paris on December 20, 1998.
Highlighted Team (Milan):
AC Milan are regarded as one of the biggest club in Italy. The Rossoneri compete in the Italian Serie A and they have won 18 domestic trophies. Speaking of the club’s European success, Milan have clinched seven Champions League (European Cup) trophies.
Milan were on the verge of beating Liverpool in the 2005 Champions League final, but the Premier League outfit came from three goals behind and eventually won the prestigious trophy on penalties. The Rossoneri play their home games at Stadio San Siro (80,018), the stadium that was opened in 1926. It is well known that Milan’s bitterest rivals are Inter and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Madonnina.
Milan were founded in 1899 by a lace-maker from England named Herbert Kilpin and a businessman Alfred Edwards. Milan’s home kits are red and black and that is why the team’s nickname is Rossoneri (The Red and Blacks).
The likes of Alessandro Costacurta, Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Roberto Donadoni, Dejan Savicevic, Frank Rijkaard, Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Andrea Pirlo are the most famous footballers who have represented the San Siro outfit.
