watch real madrid vs ac milan uefa champions league live stream

Two of Europe's legendary teams are to face each other at the Bernabeau tonight. Real Madrid and AC Milan are the 2 most victorious teams in European cup history, winning the trophy on 16 times between them and the 2 sides again see themselves battling it out at the top of the heap, this time in group G, with Real having a perfect 100% start to the Eurpean campaign under new boss, Jose Mourinho, and Milan only just behind by 2 points. There's also ties the clubs have in Milan being triumphant over Real at this same stage of the competition last year, Milan having ex Madrid player Robinho in their team, after he left Madrid on less than amicable terms in 2008, Also Jose Mourinho had a very profitable spell at Milan's deadly rivals Inter, bagging a treble last year.

All that aside, Mourinho states that the match will be approached by him and his players just like he does with any other match, saying: "We've played nine games this season and none is more important than the other, no opponent deserves more respect than any other. We're preparing for the game and we are studying our opponents with the same intensity. They are an opponent with a different history (to other teams), because between them and us we`ve won 16 European Cups, but it`s one more game. If we win, then the day after will be Wednesday, and if we lose it will also be Wednesday. We`re in a calm situation. We`re first in the group and in control of our own destiny. We`re not playing a knock-out tie, but to qualify for the next round."

Regarding the situation of facing Ibrahimovic he said, "We're playing against a team, not one player, but Ibra is different. The know him in Italy and I know him, but in Spain they don`t, because here he didn`t have confidence. In a team as well organised as Milan, a player like that can make the difference."

Mourinho also brought to the attention the menace that Milan's other forward Filippo Inzaghi has in abundance. He was speaking from a press conference at Madrid's training base and the Portugese star manager has another impressive record on the back of taking up his new reign at the bernabeau and that sees Madrid winning 7 out of the 9 games he's played and them neting 10 goals in the last 2 fixtures.

Ibrahimovic played under Mourinho at Inter Milan, won the title with him and has nothing but praise for his former associate. "My rapport with Mourinho? He inspired me," said Ibrahimovic. "He is a winner. Allegri seems a calmer person, with less presence than Mourinho or (Fabio) Capello."

Ibrahimovic, who has netted the most times for his new club Milan this year, has no regrets about his switch back to Italy this year. "To be back in Italy really excites me," he said. "The fans are different, they are more active than with respect to the Spanish supporters. In Spain, they applaud when you do something nice as though you were in the theatre. In Italy it's a different thing altogether."

As for having to battle with Madrid tonight he added: "Do they (Real) fear me? If they do, I'm happy. But I try to work hard for the team. Because only with the team can you go far."
