LIVE Internazionale - Real Madrid Friendly match - 27 July 2015
Inter Milan's coach Roberto Mancini gestures during the Serie A football match between AC Milan and Inter at San Siro Stadium in Milan on November 23, 2014
After only finishing in eighth place in Serie A last season, Inter need the ideal preparation to make a fast start to the new campaign as they look to become a force in Italian football for the first time in a number of years.
Mancini has been given the freedom to make significant moves in the transfer market, with Geoffrey Kondogbia, Miranda and Martin Montoya all penning deals at the San Siro
They are still in the process of reshaping their squad, but they will take the positives from their pre-season results so far, despite slipping to two successive defeats.
Victories over Stuttgart Kickers and Carpi was followed by a narrow setback against Bayern Munich, before a youthful lineup succumbed to AC Milan on Saturday.
Losing to their bitter rivals is never easy to take, but given that Mancini fielding a second-string side and they only lost out to a wonder goal from Philippe Mexes, he won't be too concerned heading into the match with Real.

Napoli head coach Rafael Benitez gestures during the Serie A match between AS Roma and SSC Napoli at Stadio Olimpico on October 18, 2013
Real Madrid head into Monday's match having played two games less than their opponents but new boss Rafael Benitez will be pleased with the progress of his side.
They were unfortunate to fall to a penalty-shootout defeat to Roma earlier this week, but the La Liga giants more than made up for that setback with a resounding success against Man City.
They were perhaps aided by City's lack of experience in the centre of defence but nevertheless, they took full advantage to run out comfortable winners.
Benitez would have enjoyed seeing Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo - two players who have been linked with transfers away from the club - get on the scoresheet, while many of the senior squad all got valuable minutes ahead of the upcoming campaign.
The former Napoli chief may use this match to further integrate his new signings, with full-back Danilo only making substitute appearances in Australia and goalkeeper Kiko Casilla not getting off the bench.
