Inter Milan will face Benfica in Quarter-final 2nd leg of the 2022/2023 Champions League which can be watched via live streaming on CBS Sports or Paramount+ on Wednesday, April 19 2023, ET.
Inter Milan host Benfica in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarter-final on Wednesday, holding a 2-0 advantage from the first leg in Lisbon. The Italian side scored twice in the second half through Nicolò Barella and Romelu Lukaku to put one foot in the semi-finals for the first time since 2010. However, they will have to be careful not to let their guard down after losing 1-0 at home to Monza in Serie A at the weekend.
Inter have a strong record of winning UEFA ties after winning the first leg away from home, with 17 out of 18 successes. They have also been solid in defence in the Champions League, keeping three clean sheets in a row since conceding to Bayern München’s Eric Choupo-Moting in the group stage. However, they have lost their last three home games in all competitions and will face a determined Benfica side.
Benfica are in poor form, having lost their last three games in all competitions, including a 1-0 defeat to Chaves in the Primeira Liga. They have a slim chance of overturning their deficit and will need to score at least two goals without reply to force extra-time or penalties. They may draw some confidence from their 2-1 win over Juventus in Italy earlier this season in the group stage, but they have not fared well against Italian teams historically.
Benfica have also been unbeaten in their last nine UCL away games (W6, D3), but only one of those wins was by more than one goal. They will need their star player Rafa to shine, as he has six goals and two assists in the competition. Inter will rely on their spot-kick king Lukaku, who has scored four penalties in his last five goals for Inter, including the second goal in the first leg.
The match promises to be an exciting and tense affair, as Inter look to seal their place in the last four and Benfica look to pull off a miraculous comeback.
