Real Madrid travel to the San Siro to battle Inter Milan in their Champions League matchday four fixture on Wednesday, November 25.
Both teams will be seeking redemption in the game as they occupy the third and fourth positions on the Group B table after three rounds of games.
Los Blancos narrowly edged Antonio Conte's men in the reverse fixture earlier this month and the two clubs must step up their games if they want to progress to the next phase.

However, despite sitting third on the table with four points after three games, Zinedine Zidane has named an engineering student in his squad that will prosecute the game in Italy.

Not yet sure what his plans are, but the French manager could hand Hugo Duro his dream debut against the Serie A giants tomorrow.
SunSport reports that players like Karim Benzema, Luka Jovic and Alvaro Odriozola are out for different reasons.
Benzema who has scored six goals in 11 games this campaign picked up a muscle injury, while 24-year-old Odriozola is also out for an unknown cause.
Meanwhile, Jovic would miss the game after testing positive for deadly coronavirus and all these issues forced Zidane to include B team star into the squad.
The 21-year-old forward only joined the club in the summer after making the breakthrough at boyhood club Getafe on-loan with an option to buy.
Duro has already grabbed three goals in four appearances for his youth side, and he could replicate this form against Inter if given the chance by the manager.
Sources claim the Spanish U21 national team star could lead Los Blancos' attack should Benzema fail the fitness test ahead of the game.
He is currently studying mechanical engineering at Carlos III University in Madrid and he has revealed that he will be having a test on Thursday.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Gerard Moreno's second-half penalty was all Villarreal needed to deny Real Madrid maximum points in their Spanish League encounter.
The 28-year-old superbly converted the spot-kick in the 76th minute after Nigerian star Samuel Chukwueze was fouled by Thibaut Courtois.
He made a run into Los Blancos danger zone in a bit to connect with a pass from his teammate but an attempt to save the ball boomeranged for the Belgian goalkeeper.
