Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi expects a battle on Tuesday night at Porto.
Inter go into the second-leg of the Champions League round 16 clash defending a 1-0 aggregate lead.
Inzaghi admitted: We know we're facing a quality team. We saw them in the first leg, they're strong in one-on-one situations. We know Porto's statistics, the Italians have always suffered in recent years but we have prepared in the best possible way, respecting Porto and above all focussing on ourselves.
We know it'll be a very meaningful match, between two teams that have fully deserved to be here after overcoming two very difficult groups. Tomorrow will be a proper showdown.
We know that tomorrow we can make a big step and return to the last eight. It hasn't happened in a long time and we want to go even further. The second leg will be even more stimulating, we will need concentration because we're up against a team who are used to these sorts of matches."
Inter have won in the last three games and also said: When things go wrong you only see the negative aspects.
In the league, apart from Napoli, we are still in and amongst it. We are second in the league, in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia and have a Round of 16 second leg to play. We have to stick together, but that's how I see the team."
