### Team News & Injuries

Real Madrid’s injury list is a concern: Tchouaméni, Endrick, Mendy, Militao, Asencio, Pitarch, and Rodrygo are all sidelined. Inter’s only confirmed absentee is Djed Spence. That gap in fitness could tilt selection headaches firmly toward Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

### Prediction

Given home advantage, Madrid’s attacking depth, and a lopsided head-to-head history, expect Real Madrid to edge this one — likely a tight 2-1 scoreline, though Inter’s defensive discipline under Cristian Chivu could keep it closer than the stats suggest.
