Jose Mourinho derby takes centre stage as new Champions League campaign gets underway

Two European heavyweights do battle in the Champions League tonight as Real Madrid host Inter in the opening round of league phase action, with the added sub-plot of Jose Mourinho on the touchline. The 'special one' has managed both clubs during his illustrious career, and his recent Netflix documentary highlighted the affection he once had for the Serie A champions.

Backed heavily in the summer transfer window and boosted by Vinicius Junior's decision to sign a new contract, a dream start to Mourinho's second spell in Madrid came to a halt last Friday in a 1-0 loss to Real Betis, though his side did create plenty of chances and missed a penalty in stoppage-time.

Inter, meanwhile, underachieved in Europe last season as they crashed out to Bodo/Glimt in the knockout play-off round having reached the final in the previous campaign. Cristian Chivu's side come into the game having won all their Serie A matches so far, battling back from 2-0 down against Napoli at the weekend to emerge victorious.
