Eden Hazard will be the beacon that has to guide Real Madrid to victory at the San Siro. The Belgian was called up to the ranks of the whites for nights like these in which he will have to demonstrate the level that raised him at Chelsea and the Belgian national team. ANDl Inter have started irregularly but they have already shown Madrid at home that their potential is evident and that the game will be equal to equal.
For the appointment in the temple of Lombard football, Zinedine Zidane will not be able to count on Sergio Ramos, Benzema, Valverde, Jovic, Odriozola and Militao. The losses of the captain, the French and the Uruguayan condition the eleven and leave the Mister from Marseille with fewer alternatives than desired for a game of such substance.
So, Zidane will bet on his classic 4-3-3 with only one possible doubt: if the right wing will be for Asensio or for Martin Odegaard. In the goal it will be Courtois, covered by a line of four composed of Carvajal on the right, Varane and Nacho as central and Mendy to the left. Casemiro will anchor in the center of the field. Despite being warned, Zidane knows that this game could define the group and it will be played with the entry of the Brazilian. Ahead of 14 will be Kroos in the engine room and Modric Like a freer verse Just like before. Above, on the right, Zidane doubts whether to align Odegaard or Asensio while the other two positions are clear: Mariano will be the tip, partly due to lack of troops, and Hazard the star you have to overflow, create and score from the left. On the bench several alternatives: Odegaard or Asensio, depending on who owns it and two high-level boosters like Vinicius and Rodrygo, who already solved the other match against Inter.
Everything to contain the always dangerous 3-4-3 of Antonio Conte. The Italian coach has two doubts: if you bet on the band for Young, more defensive after his time as a winger at United, or by Perisic, end recently converted to lane. In defense also doubt between Skriniar or D'Ambrosio. Thus, Conte could go out with eleven with Handanovic in goal, defense of three for Skriniar or D'Ambrosio, De Vrij and Bastoni, the bands for Young or Perisic on the left with Achraf on the right as lanes and a medium with alternatives. The double pivot will be for Gagliardini and Barella with Arturo Vidal moving in lane ten. Ahead, the greatest danger to the white rear, Lautaro and Lukaku. In Madrid, the Argentine has already overcome the wall of the meringues and in Milan he will recover the Belgian at his side, his best partner and with even more gunpowder than him. As if that were not enough, he has no shortage of alternatives to count on the bench. In addition to the two doubts, it has Alexis Sanchez to put more pressure on top or quality players Eriksen or Nainggolan.
All this will start at 9:00 p.m. on the lawn of the also known as Giuseppe Meazza from 9:00 p.m. The referee will be the Englishman Anthony Taylor accompanied by his compatriot Stuart Attwell in the VAR.
