The Nerazzurri will take on Die Roten in the second leg of the quarter-finals in the UEFA Champions League.

The table toppers of Serie A, Inter Milan, and Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, will lock horns in the second leg of the quarterfinal in the UEFA Champions League. Inter Milan somehow won the first leg despite not being the best team on the pitch. They are in fine form.

They will look to keep their momentum going when they take on the Bavarian giants. Inter Milan have conceded the least amount of goals in the UCL. They will look to perform similarly in the second leg as well.

Simone Inzaghi’s men have a fine record at home this season. They are known for playing counter-attacking football. Inter are probably the best counter-attacking team in all of Europe.

They have quality players on their side who are capable of making a difference on the field. Both teams have a good history in the Champions League and will look to create more this season.

Vincent Kompany’s side are suffering from an injury crisis this season. They played out a 2-2 draw against their rival Borussia Dortmund. Now, they will look to perform better when they travel to Milan to face the home side.

In the other first leg, they were the better team, but poor finishing led to their loss. This season, goal conversion is a bit of a problem for the Bavarian side. They will have to find solutions, as Inter will sit back in a low block to make things difficult for them.

Kick-Off:

  • Location: Milan, Italy
  • Stadium: San Siro
  • Date: Thursday, 17 March
  • Kick-Off Time: 12:30 AM IST
  • Referee: TBD
  • VAR: In Use

Form

Inter Milan (in all competitions): W-W-D-D-W

Bayern Munich (in all competitions): D-L-W-W-D

Players to Watch

Alessandro Bastoni (Inter Milan)

Batoni’s playing style is defined by his technical proficiency and tactical awareness. Unlike many traditional center backs who rely heavily on physicality. He combines his defensive duties with a keen understanding of the game’s nuances.

His height and ability to exploit spaces make him effective in aerial duels and threats from set-pieces. Defensively, Bastoni is known for his well-timed tackles and ability to intercept passes. His role in Inzaghi’s system is very important.

He will have to be at his best to stop the Bavarian giant’s attacks. In 30 Serie A games, he has scored once and provided four assists.

Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)

Muller is a unique footballer. He is constantly on the prowl for spaces in the opposition’s shape that he can exploit. He is the number 10 who floats to the wing and drifts beyond the forwards.

Muller is always on the move. His tendency to drift into new and unexpected positions means opposing defenders have to be alert and have constant communication to monitor him.

He scans the pitch and his surroundings regularly, aiming to stay one step ahead of his opponents and, crucially, aware of where his teammates are. This is his last season with Bayern Munich, and he will hope to win the Champions League with the Bavarian giants.

He has played 25 Bundesliga games this season, in which he has scored once and provided four assists.
