On the flanks, meanwhile, Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries start for Inter.
Lastly, in attack it is the duo of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram.
Both Martinez and Thuram have dealt with some injury issues in recent weeks. Therefore, they have not played together all that often since the start of April.
However, in the Champions League knockouts they have been Inter's main strikers. Accordingly, both are in the starting eleven this evening.

Emmanuel Macron invites wife Brigitte to stand by his side to celebrate soccer championship, week after infamous viral slap clip
French President Emmanuel Macron invited his wife to stand by his side Sunday to celebrate the Parisian soccer team winning the Champions League at the Elysee Palace, just a week after the first lady was caught slapping the president on video. Macron gently took his wife Brigitte's hand in front of dozens of cameras as the couple cheered on the victorious team, following a tense week of speculation about their relationship status amid their public quarrel. The shocking video showed Brigitte take both her hands and smash them into Macron's face as they were departing the presidential jet that had just landed in Hanoi for an official visit with Vietnamese dignitaries last Sunday.

Footage of the soccer celebration this Sunday shared by the Daily Mail shows a much happier couple. With a broad smile, the French president encouraged his wife to join him as he stood with the players from the triumphant Paris Saint-Germain team.

In Sunday's more cheerful video, Macron poses for photos with the jubilant team. He shouts 'bravo' and then happily calls for Brigitte to join them. The players can be seen moving out of the way so the first lady can stand with her husband. Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of the PSG, also encourages her to join the crowd, and moves aside for her, the clip shows. 3 Emmanuel Macron, holds up a soccer jersey, and his wife Brigitte welcomed the victorious French team.

The pair tried to play off last week's highly publicized slap, as playful rough housing, then as Russian disinformation, but eventually conceded that the camera caught them mid-domestic squabble. 'At the beginning, the Elysee [Palace] denied the truth of the images, suggesting a video generated by AI and relayed by pro-Russian accounts before finally authenticating the sequence which [they said] evoked a moment of 'complicity,'' said news outlet Breves de Presse in a post on X Monday. 3 The shocking moment that First Lady Brigitte Macron slaps her husband French President Emmanuel Macron.

'Make sure the door remains closed,' Trump chuckled in the Oval Office while responding to a question about the stunning video of Madame Macron's assault. 'That was not good,' Trump said of the slap video. 'No, I spoke to him and he's fine, they're fine. They're two really good people. I know them very well. And, I don't know what that was all about, but I know him very well and they're fine.' The pleasant meeting with the team came during a tumultuous time on the streets. Two fans died and a police officer is in a coma after mass nationwide celebrations turned into violent riots, French authorities said Sunday.
