MILAN (AP) — Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is under increasing pressure to deliver in the Champions League as his team visits Porto in the round of 16 on Tuesday. Inter is carrying a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg and Inzhagi’s long-term future at the club could depend how the team performs this week. Inter’s surprise 2-1 loss at relegation-threatened Spezia on Friday was its second straight defeat on the road and cast further doubts on Inzaghi’s position.
