LINKS TO TRIUMPH

This left them nervous in third place, but omens are smart for nerazzurri. The last time they tied in their first two organizing matches at the start of the 2009-10 festival when they won the trophy with Jose Mourinho.
GOOD MADRID NIGHTS
Good night and welcome to Spain for our policy of the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Inter Milan on day 3.
These two European giants know what it’s like to parade with the trophy of this competition, yet both have had a frustrating start in this season’s continental campaign.
After two matches, the two to victory occupy the last two spots of Group B before their consecutive matches this month.
After a home defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk in their first match, Madrid at least showed resistance last Tuesday by recovering from 2-0 with just minutes to pass before the draw in Munich.
They followed up with a weekend win in La Liga, dismantling Huesca 4-1, where Eden Hazard returned to the scoreboard after more than a year without goals.
His return to form would be the best moment for Los Blancos, who would otherwise be left without Eder Militao, self-isolating with the coronavirus, and the injured trio of Nacho, Dani Carvajal and Martin Odegaard.
The biggest mistake of the night, however, will be felt through the Italians, who traveled without striker Romelu Lukaku; The Belgian, a lazy goal scorer, stayed in Milan to remedy his thigh.
Antonio Conte pushed for alexis Sanchez’s return, but warned that tonight’s attack came too early for the Chilean to have compatibility in his starting lineup.
It was only a six-game win for the Nerazzurri but, like Real, they showed determination to go 2-0 to tie against Parma in Serie A on Saturday.
We will bring you confirmation from any of the groups in a while with the initial serve in the Spanish capital at 20h.
