Inter Milan’s coach Simone Inzaghi knows that his club faces a major Champions League test against Atletico Madrid.
Inter and Atletico will meet in the round of 16 after today’s draw.
Inzaghi stated: “It will be a great round of 16, with two top-level teams in two beautiful stadiums that will have a great audience. We are happy because we continue to face such important games in Europe with continuity.
“They have played two finals in the last ten years and have a great tradition in this competition, our club is no different and we want to try to dream again to give another joy to our fans.
“The Atletico coach, among other things, is Diego Simeone, a great coach with whom I have an excellent relationship. I won a lot with him, including a Scudetto with Lazio. Now let’s focus on next month: we will play important matches in the championship and we will also have the Italian Cup and the Italian Super Cup.
“Then we will think about preparing these two big matches: they will be two battles, we will work to be ready.”
Lazio defender Patric has admitted that Bayern Munich is a huge challenge. Lazio played Bayern in February in the Champions League round of 16.
Spaniard Patric stated: “A target for 2023? Last year we had a great championship.
Unfortunately, the current one didn’t start well but we still reached a fundamental goal like the Champions League round of 16.
“Playing against Bayern Munich is every child’s dream. For us and the fans, it will be an important match. In Serie A we are not doing well but now I am sure that by playing fewer close matches we will be able to recover.
I have so much faith in this team.
“On a personal level, I am happy to be able to give my contribution to Lazio and I hope to remain with the Biancoceleste for many years.
In life, the most important things are health, humility and family and Christmas is special because it always offers the opportunity to be together.”
Arsenal is set to face FC Porto in the Champions League Round of 16.
According to the Gunners’ sporting director, Edu Gaspar, they must be prepared before playing against the Portugese giants. Edu said the following things about the Champions League Round of 16 draw at the UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
“We are going to play against a club that is very used to playing in the competition because they play in it every single year and they have a lot of players as well with big experience,” said Edu via Arsenal.com.
“We have to understand how we are going to play and respect them as much as we can. We will play our game and see if we can go through this stage. We can see how they are playing, how organised they are, and the players that they have.
“Porto is a club that you have to be really prepared to play against or we’ll have problems, so what we have to concentrate on is maintaining our levels and the way we are playing.”
Arsenal took the lead for the Champions League group stages, unperturbed by their inexperience. In six games, they won four times, drew one, and lost one. They only got a spot in the Round of 16 by Match Day 5, amassing 12 points, which shows that despite their performance on Match Day 6 (they drew with PSV), they would win Group B.
So, can the Gunners win the Champions League over FC Porto? They might, and Mikel Arterta said that after the 1-1 draw with PSV on Match Day 6, his sights has been on the Champions League crown. Porto is just one hurdle in that race.
“What I’ve seen is that we can compete at this level, and we came top of the group, which is very important. Especially the way we did it with a game in hand. We have to win game by game, and we arrive again in February,” Arteta replied, when asked if he had seen enough for Arsenal to win the Champions League.
