Inter, who boast a 2-0 lead from the first leg thanks to goals from Nicolo Barella and Romelu Lukaku, could reach the final four for the first time since they lifted the trophy 13 years ago.

Simone Inzaghi's side have impressed this season and they've won the Supercoppa Italiana, while they could also reach the Coppa Italia final if they get past Juventus in the semi-finals.

Their issue has been in Serie A this season. They've lost four of their last five matches and they're in a tight battle to secure Champions League football for next season. They're fifth in the table and two points behind AC Milan.

Benfica were well clear at the top of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, however, their lead ahead of Porto has been cut to just four points after Roger Schmidt's men lost their last two league outings.
