Tomorrow night Inter will be starting their journey toward Wembley with their first Champions League match against Twente l'Inter: "Each year is different," said Benitez in a press conference. "The team had a few difficulties in the group stage last year but we know this and this is why we want to do well, starting from tomorrow night. It would be a big mistake to think that we have already qualified. You need humility and courage. No one gifts you anything in the Champions League, you have to fight in every game and think one match at a time.

"Every coach needs time to change things. Changing everything is not credible, but the team has the quality to change a few things. The important thing is to work."

"We're in pretty good shape. We won against Udinese and we are confident, but Twente are certainly in good athletic and psychological condition. To win the cup again after winning the Champions League last season, we have to play with intensity and with the right attitude."
