Two clubs chasing UEFA Europa League glory will do battle today in a match between Inter Milan and Celtic. The Round of 32 clash scheduled for 1 p.m. ET will be held at the San Siro in Milan and can be live streamed here free (requires free trial registration).
What They're Saying
Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini (via UEFA): "We've had the best possible preparation for tomorrow's [Thursday] match because we're coming off the back of some great performances and results. Having said that, we mustn't let our guard down. It's not going to be a simple task. We need to have total concentration and not give anything away. Celtic are a team that never give an inch."
Celtic manager Ronny Deila: "It will be tough. We need to get up to our top level and if we have a bit of luck, we have a chance. We have everything to win. A lot of what we did in the home match was good, but we need to defend better. We know we can do better than in the last game against Inter and if we do that, we will be hard to beat. If we can get a historic win here, it will be the moment of our lives."
