“We’ll face one of the toughest opponents we could have drawn,” Benitez said after the draw.

“They’re considered among the favourites to win the final. In the two games against Inter they showed all their strength, they’re second in the League and they’ve also beaten Bayern Munich.

“We’re facing a really stimulating challenge. We have confidence in ourselves, we want to progress even though we know it’ll be difficult.”
