Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho spoke to reporters on Monday ahead of Tuesday's Champions League fixture against his former club, Inter. Mourinho expressed surprise that the Italian side has not secured the Champions League title in recent years, citing the consistency of their game model under various coaches. Real Madrid enters the match following a league loss to Real Betis in Seville. The squad faces personnel challenges, with Bernardo Silva, Eduardo Camavinga, and Arda Guler suspended for the upcoming match. Endrick has returned to training but remains limited to a short appearance on the pitch as he regains full fitness. Mourinho noted that the fixture schedule presents complications, joking that the creator of the list might have been Italian.
