internazionale milano v. lecce
The Nerazzurri head into tomorrow's match against Lecce in buoyant mood after advancing to the Champions League quarter-finals this week. Inter won 3-2 at Bayern Munich to progress on away goals and set up a meeting with Schalke 04 next month. "It's going to be a difficult game against Schalke," said Inter striker Goran Pandev, who scored the winner against Bayern on Tuesday.
"We expect a difficult tie but we will do all we can to defend our European title."
Leonardo's men, who have also made it through to the Coppa Italia semi-finals, must now turn their attention back to the domestic competition.
Inter go into tomorrow's match in second place, trailing five points behind Serie A leaders AC Milan after last weekend's 1-1 draw at Brescia although that could be greater come the game given their city rivals play today.
"We have to concentrate in the league," said Pandev. "Because from now on, every game will be a final."
In the last meeting, on 10 november, an injury-ravaged Inter side took a 76th minute lead thanks to a goal by Diego Milito but the champions were unable to fend off a spirited rally by Lecce who equalised through Ruben Olivera's header 10 minutes from time.
