The pressure is already on the Nerazzurri, because Real Sociedad are comfortably sweeping Benfica aside in the early kick-off, keeping them top of the group on what will be 10 points.

Inter also still know that a victory here will guarantee qualification for the Round of 16, setting up a showdown at San Siro with the Spaniards for the top spot.

“I expect a similar game to the one we saw at San Siro, the only difference being they are on home turf and their fans will give them even more confidence,” Calhanoglu told Sky Sport Italia.

“We prepared well, we are getting good results and we are ready.”

The Turkey international was a bit of a mystery at Milan and initially struggled when crossing over as a free agent to Inter, but the real shift occurred when he had to fill in for injured Marcelo Brozovic in a deep-lying playmaker role and flourished.

“I try to always give my all on the pitch and I am hungry for more success. I always want to improve, because I know that work is never done, and I thank the staff because I am growing thanks to them.”
