Inter look to secure their spot in the Champions League semifinals as they host Benfica in the second leg of their quarter-finals.
Nicolo Barella and Romelu Lukaku got on the scoresheet in the first leg to give Inter a 2-0 lead on aggregate heading back to the San Siro.
Despite a very impressive overall season, Benfica have now lost three matches in a row after a 1-0 defeat to Chaves in Portuguese league action.
The winner of this quarter-final tie will go onto the face AC Milan in the semi-final of the competition, which for Inter Milan would represent an intra-city derby.
