Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana says they must embrace the challenge of an exciting month ahead.

Inter will play both legs of a Coppa Italia semifinal tie against Juventus, and of a Champions League quarterfinal tie against Benfica.

Onana said: “You always have to play without fear, if you're afraid then it's better not to be on the pitch at all.

“A difficult month awaits us, but we work every day in training to be ready for matches like the ones against Benfica and Juve.

“We need to work well in training, and I believe that if we're at our best then it can be a month that gives us great satisfaction."

Onana added: “We're all in it to defend the Inter crest, and for me it's an honour to be the goalkeeper of this club.

“We deserve more respect in Europe, because we knocked out Barcelona and got through a tough group."
