Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid continues its summer offseason tour in China as they are scheduled to face Italian club Inter Milan in the Asian leg of the 2015 International Champions Cup on July 27 at the Tianhe Stadium in Guangzhou, China.
Real will be coming over from Melbourne in the Australian leg of the summer friendlies after battling AS Roma and Manchester City.
New manager Rafa Benítez had an unsatisfying debut for the Los Blancos in Melbourne last week as they fell to I Giallorossi via a shootout, 0-0 (6-7).

Benítez, who was signed by Real merely last month to replace Carlo Ancelotti, remarked that his men played actively and had many chances in the first half, but their limited time together have not allowed them to perform flawlessly.
Meanwhile, Inter was already camped in China as they will first face Italian neighbor AC Milan on Saturday before the big game against Los Vikingos on Monday.
I Nerazzurri is coming off a 0-1 loss to Bayern Munich in a friendly match on Tuesday in Shanghai, as per Bleacher Report.
The predicted result is a 1-0 win by Real over Inter in a highly-entertaining match. Benítez would go for his first win as Los Blancos' head honcho.
