10 years of FIFI'd say City and Bayern are totally unbeatable in two-legged matchup. Real is beatable although very unlikely. Chelsea is beatable, Napoli and Benfica too. But only Milan is a weaker opponent from these teams, all the other matchups we would be the underdog.

Avoid City at all costs. They're deadly and Pep's probably gonna push even harder this season with how the league's going
Don't want Benfica or Chelsea at all. I'd be wary of the 'favorites' tag. We aren't a team who'd do well against either. Chelsea I'm more ok with but Benfica is a no-no imho
Bayern has a wonderful squad and a habit of winning but they aren't as deadly as they used to be. Still would eliminate us so that's a no
Napoli have played the best football of the tournament so far, but we already showed we can match up to them nicely
Milan we'd wipe the floor with like we've been doing, but we'd be the favorites which I strongly dislike
Real Madrid is what I want. They struggle badly against sides who can sit tight and defend well. Our players wouldn't need to be motivated. Would be a historical, exciting tie. Ancelotti's job would be on the line. Give me Real Madrid

10 years of FIFInter has more chances to beat Napoli than Benfica IMO.
And I really doubt UEFA let the 3 italian teams through to the semis. Two italian teams will most likely meet in the QF.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFChelsea have no finishers. We might get past them though I’d feel more confident against Milan or Benfica. Possibly Napoli too. We’ve already humbled them once this season.
Everyone else would probably run over us. I just don’t want Madrid again. It’s become boring. And depressing.

Best Overall PosterIf UEFA don't want Italian teams in semis then last thing they would like is an Italian tie. They would just pair 3 Italians with the 3 favorites, City, Bayern and Real.

10 years of FIFImmagine getting Milan and then in the semi Napoli. And on the other side Chelsea will have another lucky run to the final.. it's incredible how everything is possible if we get lucky draws. But of course we still need to beat this teams first. There are teams you can beat but if we really make it?

10 years of FIFYou are basing it on the defnite elimination of all 3 italian teams if that happens, but that's not how football nor maths work.

10 years of FIFNapoli is likely to knock out any team left in the competition. I'm pretty sure that these top teams like Real Madrid, Bayern and City would gladly avoid facing Napoli in the quarter finals.
Not sure about whom I would rather get between Milan, Benfica or Chelsea.

Best Football PosterBest Overall PosterNo one has ever got eliminated from the draw. But at the time of the draw Italian teams would be the underdogs in that case.

10 years of FIFUnderdogs yes, but that doesn't mean they will definitely lose the tie. Specially in the knock out games, every team has their fair chance. None of the italian teams will be a walking park for the top dogs.

10 years of FIFAs much as it hurts to admit it but we'd be an easy bite for teams like City or Bayern, or even Real Madrid despite that they're having a relatively garbage season.
Inter's lack of organization in defence would be a huge blow when playing against top teams, especially against these with creative and fast players. Besides, we are missing an in-form Skriniar and also we are having issues of lack of options in the starting line-up. Our attack is pretty damn slow and predictable though.
Then again, you never know but if you take all these things into consideration then it sounds like an easy bite.
