“It will be a great round of 16 clash, with two top teams in two beautiful stadiums in front of packed houses. We are happy because we continue to take part in big European games consistently. Atletico have played two finals in the last ten years and have a great history in this competition, our club is no different and we want to try to dream again to give our fans further joy. The Atletico boss is Diego Simeone, a great coach who I have an excellent relationship with. I won a lot with him, including a league title with Lazio. Now it's time to focus on the upcoming month, though: we have some big league matches as well as the Coppa Italia Italian Super Cup. After that, we will start to think about preparing for these two big games: they will be two battles, we'll have to work hard to be ready.”

Simone Inzaghi

“Atletico is a difficult side to play, I know Simeone well, we were teammates, and we are friends. I know how to prepare for games, we will see two big matches from two big sides. There were many strong teams, we knew that it could be a difficult draw. We have great respect for Atletico Madrid, we know their history and their culture. We know how they prepare, and it will be difficult to beat them. But we are in a place to play two big games and we will be ready. Both home and away will be complicated: it is important to do well at San Siro, but it will be two balanced legs. There are some big players, we hope to be in form for the challenge. We are happy with Lautaro, he is scoring a lot. We are happy because he spreads this desire to his teammates.”

Javier Zanetti, Inter Vice President
