Inter Milan defender Danilo D'Ambrosio admits they're underdogs in the Champions League.

Inter are to meet Benfica in the quarterfinals.

D'Ambrosio said: "It takes away a lot of energy, but in the quarter-finals one team is worth the other and they are all strong teams.

All in all, it didn't go badly for us. It's not that I'm happy with Benfica, but you have to be realistic, other teams have something more than us.

When you play at this level there are so many commitments. Those who play for Inter know that even a draw is a defeat.

We have had meeting after meeting. The solution is to give our best match after match."
