Inter Milan coach Inzaghi: Atletico Madrid clash all about focus

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi says tonight's clash with Atletico Madrid is all about "focus".

Inter are at Atletico for the second-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie defending a 1-0 lead.

Inzaghi said: "The result of the first leg certainly gives us a small advantage but we won't speculate or manage. We will try to play our game knowing that we will find a very strong opponent who will transform at home. The path in La Liga shows what a team Atletico is here.

"We know what our path has been in these three years. We have always reached the round of 16, which is not a given in the last 10 years of Inter's history. We know that we have this match against a very strong opponent and we know that we played a good match in the first leg but that tomorrow evening we will need something more.

"The team knows that we will have to be super focused knowing what we will find. Atletico is very, very strong here and we have prepared as best we can in these two and a half days."
