Two clubs looking to return to form will do battle today in a friendly between Inter Milan and Real Madrid. The match scheduled for 6 p.m. ET will be held at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, CA and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN Deportes.
After finally capturing their 10th European crown, Real Madrid return to the pitch today to capture an unprecedented 11th. With an embarrassment of riches at his disposal, manager Carlo Ancelotti believes this is the beginning of an era.
"The club is doing a good job," he told the Spanish press (via Marca). "We have signed some very important players who will improve the team a lot. We have a very competitive group."
"The tenth Champions League was very important for us," he added. "I think La Décima was the beginning of an era. We have the desire to continue winning titles, more competitions, and the squad is competitive. We're all raring to go. This year we have the advantage that we have very important work already done. There are now more signings, and I think we can start better."
"I'm very optimistic."
Optimism will only continue to grow with impressive showings in the International Champions Cup.
