| 1' | Inter go into tonight's clash on the back of a 3-1 Serie A defeat at Catania but in 18 months at Inter José Mourinho has never lost two games on the trot. Chelsea, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 21 UCL games, their last defeat coming at the hands of Barcelona back in 2006. Inter's Samuel Eto'o, who says he dreamt of scoring for Inter at Stamford Bridge, netted for the Blaugrana on that occasion after own goals by two other players on show tonight: Thiago Motta and John Terry. |
| 1' | Diego Milito and Esteban Cambiasso fired in the goals in the first leg in Milan to give Inter a narrow 2-1 advantage. Of the 41 European ties in which Inter have won the first leg at home, they have gone on to qualify in 37 of them. You can read more about that in the trivia section. |
| 1' | Blowing the whistle tonight is German referee Wolfgang Stark, a banker from Bavaria. We have never won a game overseen by Stark, drawing against Barcelona and Ajax, and losing to Manchester United, Valencia and Arsenal. But there's always a first time for everything. |
