Inter will face Porto in the Champions League round of 16. The Nerazzurri were paired with the Portuguese side, led by former Inter player Sergio Conceiçao, at the draw in Nyon.
Here's what Simone Inzaghi had to say:
"For the second year running, we play in the round of 16. Inter have finally got back to playing important European fixtures regularly. They will be two great games, in front of two packed houses with special fans, worthy of a competition as important as this one." "We respect Porto, they have done very well for many years now in the Champions League. I know the Head Coach, Sérgio Conceição, very well,. he was a former teammate of mine for many years at Lazio." "Our aim is to get through to the next round and give our fans something to dream about; we haven't been involved in a Champions League quarter-final for a while now. It won't be easy at all, we'll need to work hard to be ready for a two-legged tie, where the fine margins make all the difference. They will be two great games and we'll be ready for them."
