The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Inter Milan lock horns with Benfica in a crucial quarterfinal encounter at the San Siro on Wednesday.
Inter Milan are currently in fifth place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Nerazzurri slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Monza in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.
Benfica, on the other hand, are at the top of the Primeira Liga table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The away side suffered a 1-0 defeat against Chaves over the weekend and will need to bounce back in this fixture.

Inter Milan have flattered to deceive in recent weeks but will be intent on proving their mettle in Europe. Romelu Lukaku scored a penalty in the first leg and will look to make an impact this week.
