Previous meetings
• Two goals from Diego Milito secured Inter's triumph against Bayern on 22 May last year. The lineups were:
Bayern: ****, Lahm, Van Buyten, Demichelis, Badstuber, Robben, Van Bommel, Schweinsteiger, Altıntop (Klose 63), Müller, Olić (Gomez 74).
Inter: Júlio César, Maicon, Lúcio, Samuel, Chivu (Stanković 68), Zanetti, Cambiasso, Sneijder, Eto'o, Milito (Materazzi 90), Pandev (Muntari 79).
• Bayern enter the contest with a superior record in this season's competition, having topped Group E with five wins. Only Real Madrid CF managed more than their 15 points and only Arsenal FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC scored more than Bayern's 16 goals.
• Inter finished behind Tottenham in Group A with three wins, one draw and two defeats. Although beaten twice away, they are undefeated in ten UEFA Champions League home games and have won the last seven, including a 4-0 success against Bundesliga side SV Werder Bremen on Matchday 2.
• Inter's home record against German visitors is: W10 D1 L4.
• Since the group stage ended, Inter have added the FIFA Club World Cup to their trophy collection – the final act of Benítez's reign.
• For Leonardo this is only the second experience of UEFA Champions League football as a coach, after he led AC Milan to the round of 16 last season. Van Gaal, by contrast, is in his ninth campaign.
• Bayern suffered two 3-2 defeats on Italian soil in 2010. They went down at ACF Fiorentina in the 2009/10 round of 16 but advanced on away goals thanks to a 2-1 first-leg success. On Matchday 5 this season, with qualification already secured, they surrendered a two-goal lead to lose at AS Roma. Their last victory in Italy was a 4-1 success at Juventus in December 2009.
• Bayern's overall record away to Italian opposition is: W4 D2 L9.
• Inter lost the 1996/97 UEFA Cup final to FC Schalke 04 on penalties at San Siro after the sides had each won 1-0 at home.
