Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich LIVE!
Simeone Inzaghi’s side are in a fantastic position to reach the Champions League semi-finals after a 2-1 first-leg win in Germany last week. Thomas Muller’s late equaliser looked to have earned a share of the first-leg spoils until Davide Frattesi scored an even later winner to put the Nerazzurri on course for a European second semi-final in three seasons.
Player on Inzaghi's mind will surely be last season's loss to Atletico Madrid, having again won the first leg. A rare occurrence in the competition's history, but one which will give Harry Kane & Co. hope. Another being that Bayern have won all four of their away games against Inter. They need a fifth tonight.
The Inter playbook will be intriguing tonight, and probably not too surprise. Inzaghi knows how to set up a team defensively and will have his team set up to combat the Bavarian onslaught. Bayern reached the last four last season, can overcome the odds to make it two from two?Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog!

Thomas Muller gets his start
19:16 , Dom SmithSo Vincent Kompany has chosen to start Muller, reward perhaps for the way the veteran made an impact off the bench in the first leg, equalising late in the game only for Inter to go down the other end and nick a dramatic winner.
That goal from Muller came in the same week he revealed he had been snubbed for a new contract by Bayern and would be leaving the club after 20 years this summer.
The travelling Bayern supporters will hope he can put in another match-winning performance tonight, especially as part of a star-studded attack also featuring Leroy Sane, Michael Olise and England captain Harry Kane.

Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich prediction
18:19 , Dom SmithInter have been one of the more impressive teams in the Champions League this season and it feels, at times, as though their progress goes under the radar. They boast the best defensive record in the competition and have won every European home game so far this term.
It’s difficult to see this Bayern side, who are missing a host of important names, turning it around. We expect the Serie A leaders will get the job done to set up a semi-final against either Barcelona.
