Bayern München vs Inter Milan Match Preview
Bayern Munich will be defending a 1-0 aggregate lead when they play host to Inter Milan in their UEFA Champions League last 16 second leg clash.If Bayern can eliminate Inter it will allow them to exact some small revenge for last season’s Champions League final when they were beaten 2-0 by Inter. “When the draw took place and we heard we had to face Inter we were pleased because we knew it was a chance to get revenge for that final,” Bastian Schweinsteiger explained to UEFA.com.
Ivica Olic is a long term absentee for Bayern, while Mario Gomez will lead the Bayern attack. The Germany striker has scored seven goals in seven Champions Leagues this season, including a last minute winner in the first leg at Inter.
Defender Lucio should return from a muscle strain in time to play for Inter, while Esteban Cambiasso is doubtful with a thigh injury suffered during the first leg. Diego Milito and Walter Samuel are both sidelined with injury for Inter.
