The match will be played at the Stadio Giusseppe Meazza The San Siro Stadium, officially known as the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, is the largest capacity soccer stadium in Italy. It can accommodate more than 80,000 fans who attend F.C. Internazionale and A.C. Milan matches.

It has hosted matches of the Champions League, Euro 1980 and World Cups in 1934 and 1990. It is one of the most important stadiums in Europe and a must-see in Milan for football fans.

 

The current situation in Group D keeps Real Madrid in the first position with nine points, followed by Inter Milan with seven points. Sheriff remains in third place with six points and Shakhtar is in third place with only one point.

Although Inter Milan statistically dominate against Shakhtar, the Ukrainian team has only lost two matches against Italian teams when visiting their opponents in the Champions League. The most recent to Atalanta in 2019 whom they beat 2-1 and Inter where they rescued a 0-0 draw.
Should Inter be able to keep the result, they would reach three wins in a row, after winning against Sheriff Tiraspol. Inter have not won three in a row since the 2011-2012 season.

 

Of the six times these teams have met in European competition, Shaktar has never been able to salvage a favorable result. They have drawn four times and lost to their Italian rivals a couple of times. In these matches, Inter Milan have kept a clean sheet on five occasions and have only conceded one goal. A curious fact about this match is that although it is usually a very attractive offensive clash with a percentage of more than 65 shots on goal between both teams, in the last three meetings Inter and Shaktar have ended goalless. If a goalless draw occurs again on Wednesday, a new record would be equaled in the Champions and Europa League, along with Manchester United vs Villareal as the duel with the most consecutive goalless draws in European competitions.
