Last year's finalists meet at the San Siro tonight in the last 16 first leg clash and the centre-back is looking for a similar result to May's clash. "I hope for a 2-0 win for us so we can play the return leg in Germany with some tranquility," Lucio told Kicker.de.
The Brazilian, who could feature after sitting out recent games through injury, picked out the usual suspects Inter need to be aware of. "We have to watch Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, but Gomez and Muller are also dangerous."
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal laughed at suggestions that Inter Milan have developed into an attacking outfit under Leonardo. Inter have banged in 30 goals in 13 games since Leonardo took over but have also proved alarmingly leaky at the back, conceding 17.
"They've changed coaches twice (Rafael Benitez lasted less than six months as Mourinho's successor) and that's the biggest change. But the most important thing is that they haven't changed their way of playing," he said.
