Two former Europa League champions will vie for a place in the semi-finals when Inter take on Bayer Leverkusen at the Dusseldorf Arena on Monday.
All the quarter-final ties will be played over just one leg in a neutral venue, although Peter Bosz’s team does not have far to travel for this clash.

Inter vs Bayer Leverkusen Preview
Having suffered a difficult spell with three damaging defeats in five matches prior to lockdown, Antonio Conte’s men bounced back after the restart to lose just once in 15 fixtures and seal second place in Serie A with big wins over Napoli and Atalanta.
With that in the bag, they can now focus fully on a competition that has not always seemed particularly high on the priority list and aim to cap the season with some silverware.
In contrast, lockdown came at the wrong time for Die Werkself, who were undefeated in 10 matches prior to suspension of play but have lost four of the last 10 fixtures coming into this one.
