This cup will be a three-match affair. Each participant will face the other two sides, with the three games being split across the three contestants' homes. Real Madrid vs Inter Milan will take place in Madrid while Inter Milan and FC Bayern will face off in Milan and FC Bayern and Real Madrid lock horns in Munich.

"Real Madrid C. F. are set to team up with FC Bayern and Inter Milan to host the European Solidarity Cup in 2021," the official statement on the Spanish giants' website read. "The three clubs will come together to send out a message of solidarity and fraternity to the people of Europe."

"The proceeds from these games will go towards the purchase of healthcare resources in Italy and Spain," they added.

"Healthcare staff who continue to fight the pandemic will be represented at all of the games. The three clubs wish to demonstrate to these heroes all of our solidarity, respect and gratitude."
