Adding a layer of irony to the encounter, one of the players Mourinho managed at Inter during that title-winning campaign is now the current manager on the opposing touchline.
Mysterious cat predicts Madrid vs Inter
The fixture has drawn attention beyond the usual pre-match analysis. Nimbus Pronos, the cat that has gained a following on Instagram for its football predictions, has turned its attention to the September 8 clash.
As seen in a video on Instagram, the animal backed Real Madrid to beat Inter Milan at the Bernabeu.
Whether the prediction holds any weight remains to be seen, but the reunion between Mourinho and his former club at the start of Europe's premier club competition is certain to draw widespread attention when the first whistle blows.
Inter came close to winning the competition again in the 2024/25 season under Simone Inzaghi but fell to Paris Saint-Germain in the final. Real Madrid, meanwhile, claimed the title in 2024 under Carlo Ancelotti before the Portuguese tactician took charge.
At his pre-match press conference via RM TV, Mourinho made his ambitions clear, saying winning the Champions League with Real Madrid is among the primary reasons he returned to the club. It is a statement that signals he views this tournament as central to his second act in the Spanish capital.
