Inter are currently leading the Champions League table after the conclusion of Tuesday night’s fixtures, but the Nerazzurri will require favours from Real Madrid and Benfica if they are to stay at the summit after the rest of this round’s fixtures are completed.
Nine more Champions League matches are due to take place on Wednesday evening, including Juventus’s game away against Aston Villa and Bologna’s visit from Lille.
Only two teams are able to catch up with Inter on points by the end of the fifth round of Champions League fixtures: Liverpool and AS Monaco.
What Inter need to stay on top of Champions League table
Two of the three most successful sides in Champions League history face off at Anfield as Liverpool host Real Madrid at 20.00 GMT.
Liverpool are the only team with a 100% win record in the Champions League this season, but Ancelotti’s side are also unbeaten in the competition this term.
Inter need Real Madrid to beat Liverpool at Anfield if they are to remain on top of the Champions League table at the end of the round. A draw would send Liverpool back ahead on goal difference.
The Nerazzurri also require Monaco to either lose or draw in their match at home against Benfica, also kicking off at 20.00 GMT.
