How to Watch Real Madrid vs. Inter Milan on TV, Live Stream

Real Madrid and Inter Milan face off at the start of the 2026–27 Champions League, as José Mourinho begins a league phase laden with nostalgia.

The once self-proclaimed ‘special one’ was at the peak of his powers when he inspired the Nerazzurri to a treble, unprecedented in Italy, in 2010. Inter ended their lengthy drought for a European crown in the Spanish capital, defeating Bayern Munich 2–0 at the Bernabéu.

Mourinho couldn’t even bear to celebrate with his players after their great success, instead opting to take the Madrid job. Now, 16 years on, the Portuguese is back for a second bite of the cherry. He’s the man tasked with returning Los Blancos to the promised land after back-to-back quarterfinal exits, but his team enter this fixture having suffered the first defeat of his second tenure on Friday night.

A seasoned Nerazzurri outfit are bound to trouble Tuesday’s hosts, even if they were dumped out by Champions League rookie team Bodø/Glimt last season. Inter are two-time finalists this decade alone, and currently the most formidable team in Italy.

Here’s how you can watch all the action unfold in the Spanish capital.
