Italy's Champions League and UEFA Cup representatives are nervously awaiting the European draws, which are set to begin at 11am this morning.
Inter have every reason to worry after losing to Werder Bremen and finishing as runners-up in their group.
The Nerazzurri could meet Manchester United, Liverpool or Barcelona in the last 16.
Roma upset the odds to win Group A and Juventus conquered Group H, but that may not work out in their favour if they are drawn against Chelsea or Arsenal.
Italy's three representatives all progressed in the UEFA Cup with varying degrees of difficulty.
Despite a disappointing defeat against NEC last night, Udinese finished top of Group D and are in the boxed seat.
Milan's 2-2 draw with Wolfsburg on Wednesday night meant that they could only finish second in Group E, while Sampdoria secured third place in Group C by beating Sevilla 1-0.
Milan will face a Champions League third-placed side and could take on Werder Bremen or Zenit St Petersburg.
Fiorentina join the UEFA Cup pack and will take on one of the runners-up - they can expect tough opposition with Tottenham, Stuttgart and Valencia in the pot.
