Inter Milan will play aways against Atletico Madrid on the 13th of March (20:00 GMT / 15:00 ET / 12:00 PT) in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8-finals.
In the first leg, Inter won by 1-0, but the score doesn’t do them justice. Although the ball possession was quite balanced (55% for Inter, 45% for Atletico) the rest of the match was one sided. Inter had 19 goals attempts, but only 5 shots on goal. Atletico had 7 goal attempts but they didn’t even manage to shoot on goal. That was a match at the end of which Atletico should be satisfied they didn’t loose by a bigger difference (3-0 or more).
