Inter is aimed at reaching the semi -finals of the Champions League for the fourth time this century when they compete against Bayern Munich in the second leg on Wednesday evening.
In a repetition of the Champions League final 2010 – the last triumph for Inter in Europe’s leading competition – the Nerazzurri in the Allianz Arena secured an impressive 2-1 victory in the first leg of last week, whereby Davide Frattis late strike offers them a lead in San Siro.
Inter has proven to be extremely challenging to beat under Simone Inzaghi’s instructions and reached the final of this competition in 2022/23 – a run that they were able to replicate realistically this season. If you avoid a defeat against your German visitors during the week, you will secure your place in the last four and take the Showpiece event.
Bavaria has been far more productive in the Champions League in recent years and strives for a second consecutive journey into Semis. The chances are stacked against them in Milan, but Vincent Kompany has an extremely talented team that silences the home crowd on Wednesday. Last week they were reversed by the Italians the counterattack for their travels and must be clinical on their travels.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the second leg.

Inter has fewer injuries than their visitors, who go in the second leg on Wednesday, but without Denzel Dumfries, Piotr Zielinski and Valentin Carboni. The trio all missed the first leg, but Mehdi Taremi, who was also absent in Bavaria, returned to the bank against Cagliari at the weekend.
It is unlikely that Inzaghi will make many changes from the side that secured an important one-goal pillow in Munich in Munich last week, but Federico Dimarco should return to Wing-Back after missing the first leg with a small fitness problem.
The former Bayern men Yann Sommer and Benjamin Pavard will thwart their old employers on Wednesday.
Inter Predicted Lineup against Bayern Munich (3-5-2): Summer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez.
Bayern will continue in the middle of the week without the first election goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, after the German Giants confirmed his absence before the trip to Milan. The 21-year-old winter signed Jonas Urbig is deactivated between the sticks.
The Bundesliga managers are still without a variety of most important first teams in the outer field. Dayot Upamecano, Hiroki Ito and Alphonso Davies will no longer play this season – the latter may be out for the rest of the calendar year – and the young Tarek Buchmann remains absent with a shoulder injury.
Jamal Musialas Creativity will also be painfully missed in San Siro, with the attacking midfielder failing with a thigh injury at the beginning of the month, but Aleksandar Pavlovic and Kingsley Coman are both available again after they achieved their comebacks with 2-2 drawing from Borussia Dortmund on the weekend.
Bayern Munich predicted the line-up against Inter (4-2-3-1): Urbig; Laimer, Dier, Kim, Stanisch; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Müller, healthy; Cane.
Inter knows that you only have to avoid a defeat against progress on Wednesday, and the Italians will probably make the collision in San Siro an unpleasant watches for neutral. Inzaghi’s team is clever in building a low block and frustrating teams, and they have only awarded three times in Europe this season.
The Bavarians may violate the Inter -Backline against Harry Kane, Leroy Sane and Michael Olise, but it is unlikely that they will keep out at the other end in view of their current injury crisis. Inter should have enough in both boxes to book their place in the last four.
