Schalke manager Ralf Rangnick insists his side won't defend the 5-2 first leg lead. “Inter's defence is vulnerable, so we'll play to win.”

The Germans caused a huge upset with their victory at San Siro and could lose 3-0 at home but still qualify for the Champions League semi-final.

“We will play to win,” said the Coach. “We know that we are facing a strong and well-constructed side, but Inter's defence is vulnerable.

Leonardo won't give up on a Champions League semi-final place, despite losing 5-2 to Schalke. “Everything is possible.”

The Nerazzurri have a mountain to climb after their first leg home defeat and will step into the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen tomorrow night knowing they need at least four goals.

“I don't have to believe in miracles, but I do believe in sporting results,” smiled Leonardo.

“Something strange happened in the first leg and now it's up to us to create something fascinating.

Javier Zanetti says Inter are “aware it will be difficult against Schalke, but many things can happen in 90 minutes. We got it wrong in the first leg.”

The reigning Champions League holders must overturn a 5-2 scoreline in Gelsenkirchen tomorrow night to reach the semi-final.

“We respect our opponents and never under-estimated them,” said the captain in his pre-match Press conference.

Inter have received a boost as veteran defender Walter Samuel is back in training again and has even been included in the 22-man squad to face Schalke.

The Argentina international tore his anterior cruciate ligament earlier this season and needed a surgical reconstruction, which has kept him out for 153 days.

Inter need to bring some experience to their backline after last week's 5-2 defeat to Schalke at San Siro.

Indeed, their chances of qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals are very slim.

President Massimo Moratti has urged his Inter players to believe in Wednesday's "impossible" Schalke mission.

The Nerazzurri need to score at least four goals without conceding in Germany, after their 5-2 home defeat, in order to reach the Champions League semi-finals.

"We need to stay concentrated," the Inter chief said outside of his offices in Milan on Monday evening.

"We need to try to achieve something that seems impossible, even if the impossibility makes this tie fascinating.

Italian newspapers continue to suggest Inter are in talks with Manchester City star Carlos Tevez for a €45m move.

They have been linked before, but the story escalated when Tevez was spotted in Milan this week, allegedly looking at apartments.

The Argentine has made it clear in the past he is unhappy with life in Manchester and would prefer a more South American culture.

There are many of his fellow countrymen in the Inter squad, including captain Javier Zanetti, Esteban Cambiasso, Diego Milito and Walter Samuel.

Inter have Lucio back in defence against Inter today, but Wesley Sneijder is only fit for the bench.

Leonardo needs a result to lift morale after back-to-back defeats against Milan and Schalke. Kick-off at San Siro is at 17.00 UK time.

Cristian Chivu is suspended following his red card in the derby, joining Walter Samuel in the stands.

There were injury fears over Dejan Stankovic and Sneijder, but the Serb is fit to start and the Dutchman ready for the bench.

Inter President Massimo Moratti believes Leonardo was “smart” to say he wouldn't be a director for the club.

This week the Coach said he'd probably fire himself after the costly defeats to Milan and Schalke, but would not accept a directorial role in future.

“He was smart to say that, because otherwise it would look as if a defeat means he should give up coaching and become a director. It was an intelligent statement,” said Moratti.

Esteban Cambiasso was on target against Chievo and feels Inter can now “go to Germany in order to qualify for the Champions League semi-final.”

The Nerazzurri had lost both big games last week to Milan and Schalke, but got back on track by beating Chievo 2-0 this evening.

“This was the game we needed to calm us down, because we realised there were many external aspects that created tension,” said the midfielder.

“Many think our last two matches were the end of the world, but we know there is still a lot to do.
