The team, which is a well-known name in the competition, opted for a conservative tactic in the second leg of the round of 16 away to Porto, and eventually drew 0-0, with a two-legged aggregate score of 1-0, to advance to the last eight of the UEFA Europa League after a 12-year hiatus.

In the first leg at home, Inter Milan didn't score the winning goal until the 86th minute by Lukaku, winning 1-0. The Portuguese side focused on solid defense and quick counterattacks, with only 32% of the ball in their possession. In contrast, Porto had 68% of the ball and 19 shots on goal, 8 more than Inter.

The match went into extra time, which lasted seven minutes, and Porto was unlucky to have two shots hit the goal frame. To add insult to injury, right wingback Akunugosha received a second yellow card and was sent off for a red card.
