Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi emphasized the importance of teamwork ahead of a daunting Champions League quarter-final first leg at Bayern Munich and acknowledged that the German side are favourites.

Inter face a tough challenge on Tuesday, with the German team unbeaten in their last 22 home matches in the competition.

"They are an experienced squad, they have absences just like Inter. They press hard, are intense and for many years have gone far in this competition," Inzaghi told reporters on Monday.

"Along with Real Madrid they are the big favourites for the trophy, but we are still coming here to play a great game," Inzaghi told reporters.

Inter remain in the hunt for the treble, topping the Serie A table and into the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

When questioned about his strategy to counter Bayern's renowned intensity, Inzaghi highlighted the importance of teamwork.

"It’s a characteristic of Bayern — every time I’ve faced them, I’ve found them to be an intense team," he said.

"It will be a match to approach with energy and determination, all together. Everyone will need to be involved."
