Inter Milan will look to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League as they try to convert their first-leg advantage against Atletico Madrid
Last year’s runners-up have been in formidable form in 2024, winning all 13 games including a 1-0 home win in the first leg against their Spanish opposition. Atletico, meanwhile, have been sluggish of late, winning just one of their last five games in all competitions, including a disappointing 2-0 away defeat against relegation-threatened Cadiz.
The winners will join an impressive list of teams in the quarter-finals, including defending champions Manchester City, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. Arsenal and Barcelona also booked their place in the quarter-finals on Tuesday, while the final spot will be taken by either Borussia Dortmund or PSV Eindhoven.

Last time out: On as a half-time substitute, Marko Arnautovic scored the winner to earn Inter a narrow first-leg win against Atletico Madrid. After Lautaro Martinez’s shot was saved by Jan Oblak, Arnautovic turned into the empty net. Atletico were limited to few chances and Alvaro Morata’s late header was as close as they would come.

What is the team news?
Atletico will be hopeful that Antoine Griezmann and Jose Gimenez will be fit enough to play a part in the second leg after their recent injury troubles, but Diego Simeone will certainly be without Thomas Lemar, Cezar Azpilicueta and Vitolo who all remain sidelined with longer-term injuries.
Inter, meanwhile, will be without first-leg goalscorer Marko Anautovic after the Austrian picked up a muscle injury on the weekend. Wing-back Carlos Augusto is also a doubt but Simone Inzhaghi’s side will be boosted by the return of Hakan Calhanoglu after the Turkish midfielder made his return against Bologna at the weekend.
