Two of the most successful teams in Champions League history are set to clash once again, as Real Madrid host AC Milan on Tuesday
Real Madrid responded to their 1-0 defeat to Lille on matchday 2 with a commanding 5-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund, highlighted by a Vinicius Junior hat-trick. However, they enter this game following a humbling 4-0 loss to Barcelona in El Clasico in La Liga.
AC Milan, meanwhile, secured their first Champions League win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Club Brugge. They come into this clash on the back of a narrow 1-0 win against Monza in Serie A, which could give them the momentum needed to take on Madrid.

Real Madrid vs. AC Milan Prediction
Los Blancos hold the bragging rights ahead of this fixture. They have defeated AC Milan in five out of their last seven meetings at home.
While Real Madrid have hit a bit of a slump in recent weeks, their squad stacked with world-class talent could prove to be too much for a highly inconsistent AC Milan. The hosts should win this match comfortably.
