The Champions League season will begin for the Madrid "Real" team without three important players.

Spanish media reminds that in the match against Milan "Inter", "La Liga" giants will have to do without Arda Güler, Eduardo Camavinga, and Bernardo Silva.

All of them will be unable to play due to red cards received at the end of last season.

UEFA cancels accumulated yellow cards at the end of each season, but disqualifications for red cards remain in effect and are carried over to the next season.

Güler and Camavinga were sent off the field during "Real's" quarterfinal series with Bayern Munich. As a result, both players received a one-match suspension.

Meanwhile, Silva, while still representing Manchester City, received a direct red card in the tournament's round of 16 second leg match against the Madrid team. The Portuguese stopped a ball headed for the goal with his hand, thus preventing the opponents from scoring.

"Real" and "Inter" will play their match on September 8 in Madrid.
