Real Madrid has wrapped up its final training session ahead of an eagerly anticipated UEFA Champions League match against AC Milan. The defending champions will host the Italian team at the iconic Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid on Tuesday, seeking to bounce back from a heavy 4-0 defeat to their Clasico rivals, Barcelona, at the end of October.

The team is determined to make a statement, especially after star player Vinicius Junior missed out on the recent Ballon d’Or award. Observers suggest that the squad may feel an added motivation to prove their capabilities in this crucial match.

“Los Blancos” have enjoyed a few extra days of preparation, as their La Liga match against Valencia was postponed due to severe flooding in Spain. This break may offer them an edge as they look to regain their winning form.

Meanwhile, AC Milan is also keen to turn their season around after a sluggish start. The Italian side faces a daunting challenge, as they have not defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League since 2009. Currently, Real Madrid sits in 12th place in the La Liga standings, while Milan is struggling even further down in 25th position.

Historically, the Spanish giants have performed well against AC Milan at home, winning five of their last seven encounters at the Bernabeu. As the match approaches, both teams will be looking to assert themselves and make a significant impact in this high-stakes showdown.
