Benfica have been hugely impressive in the tournament so far. They finished top of their group ahead of PSG (opens in new tab) and Juventus (opens in new tab), then thrashed Club Brugge in the round of 16.

Inter also upset the odds in qualifying for the knockout phase ahead of Barcelona, after which they edged out Porto (opens in new tab) over two legs.

Kick-off is at 8pm BST.

Team news

Benfica will have to make do without Goncalo Guedes, Julian Draxler, Mihailo Ristic and Alexander Bah at the Estadio da Luz.

Form

VPN guide

If you’re out of the country for a Champions League fixture, then you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Champions League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
