I am optimistic about this tie, but you never know about Inter.

Half a season without Brozovic, Timberkaku 2 goals and its almost March. And we're here in knockouts. Survived a CL group with Bayern&Barca . In Coppa semis. Serie A 2nd spot.

If we go past Porto , Inzaghi deserves a good praise. We need to win this for the tough return leg. Ideally a 2 goal cushion.

Since most of us haven't really watched Porto i quote this post of @Azul back in November

Different squads, Porto squad nowadays lacks depth and criativity up front, selling Diaz, Vitinha and Fábio Vieira in just 6 months was terrible for the attack.
The full backs are horrible, Pepê who´s one of our best creative players has to play at RB in tough matches cause the RB is so incompetent.

Mbemba also left for free this summer so the board decided to splash 20M for a promising Portuguese CB from Braga, David Carmo, also cause Pepe isn´t getting any younger. The dude looking absolute garbage atm playing in a system that only uses 2 CB instead of the 3 like he played for Braga. Slow af doing stupid tackles, he was even benched by Ivan fuckin Marcano the last game.

Now our best players are Diogo Costa a fantastic young GK, Otávio, Uribe but he doesn´t give a fuck this season cause he´ll leave for free this summer, Pepê, when we don´t have to play him as RB, and Taremi. The rest of the team is average or incompetent.

Based on their lineup against Rio Ave not many things have changed since this post. Pepe and Marcano are still their starting cbs. Otavio and Uribe are currently injured so they play with Grujic (former Liverpool player and Serbia wonderkid) and Stephen in midfield. Pepe (the winger) plays in a more advanced role now as that Joao Mario kid starts in rb and is promising from what i have read. They have Wendell in lb who used to play for Leverkusen. Wendell can be dangerous going forward but he's very weak defensively.

Lets see: Inter recently has wasteful and mentally fragile, then lethargic and stupid with some of their passing resulting in a draw and a win. Would be nice to see a energetic, clinical and ruthless approach for a change. It's at home, so I reckon Inter win just. Forza Inter.
This one is only on Paramount + in the US. All the normal cable outlets went for the RB Leipzig vs ManCity match, fancy.

I believe our team will rally together and despite Inzaghi's Spice Girls voice which might feel like an annoying fly on a summer evening, we can prep this one well, mentally be ready and really show a good performance infront of a full Meazza. It's been a very long time we arrive at the knockouts.

Brozo is back, Lukaku scored ( i repeat, HE SCORED A GOAL) , I hope Mikhy is alright too.

Can't wait!

Good news from training. There's nothing serious with Mkhi. Only Correa trained individually.

So far the most important match of the season. We need a win, preferably at least 2-goal cushion.
